@lauren @mmasnick One the one hand, the initial investment is absolutely on par with any high-end laptop. On the other hand, the upgrade path is substantially more affordable, since a new mainboard is ~half the cost of a full laptop.Assuming Framework continues to be able to stay true to their stated ideals, at least.

@seldo I kind of wonder if these Tech Oligarchs are now actively trying to create the circumstances to justify those survival bunkers they've been wasting money on.

@seldo The way people are still trying to latch onto that fading platform is astonishing. Probably just showing my age, but it's amazing how many people have never witnessed an online community collapse before.

@seldo I don't expect much from the WSJ, but did not expect them to sink to "go woke go broke" logic.

@textfiles Fair, I've tried at least a few times to unsubscribe from their emails and it never quite seems to stick

@textfiles LOL, this guy thinks that most large-scale AI training is being done on GPUs.

@lauren Incredible.This whole thing has just reeked of culture was desperation. If Bud Light felt it was better for their brand to work with a prominent Trans person instead of just staying out of it, it really shows how badly the Conservatives have lost on this issue with the VAST majority of Americans, but they're going to keep doing so much damage in the tantrums this is kicking up.

@lauren @mattblaze If someone wants to defederate an instance solely because Matt is on it, I suspect him running his own instance would just make that easier for the kind of asshole who is constantly policing his behavior.

@mattblaze @lauren At this point, I'm looking forward to a return to smaller, more focused communities. Though there is a major problem to be solved in discovery of those communities.

@lauren I'm pretty on board with the "Glass Cliff" hypothesis being floated, but honestly, a TV Ad Exec is a reasonable choice to try and appease advertisers while Elon still ruins the product as CTO.

@lauren Well, the Nazis were heavily inspired by many of the from the exact same states, so the problem is somewhat ciruclar.https://www.history.com/news/how-the-nazis-were-inspired-by-jim-crow

@lauren Sounds like a subclass of the Enshittification that @pluralistic has been talking about since last year.

@bwinbwin @pluralistic People who've clearly never read The Wealth of Nations love to opine about Smith's worldview.He literally wrote about the imbalance between Labor and Capital, lamenting that English law was Anti-Labor, and mused that industrialization was going to make this much worse.The problem with Smith is that he wrote as if he were documenting a Natural Phenomenon, and as such was completely uninterested in discussing how the system could be different.

@briannawu I don't think I'll ever not be frustrated that Joe was the nominee in 2020, but I'll be damned if the man hasn't managed to deliver in ways I didn't think he could.

@luis_in_brief @cstross FWIW, the Mona Lisa wasn't really that famous a painting before the Media, in real time, sensationalized the story of three guys randomly stealing it in 1911.https://www.npr.org/2011/07/30/138800110/the-theft-that-made-the-mona-lisa-a-masterpiece

@foone My favorite part of go-links is the expectation that every document has a unique go-link.Google has over 100k FTEs these days. That's a lot of documents that all need unique identifiers in the same namespace.

@platypus In Concord, New Hampshire, we have a place called "Vacman and Bobbin" that is precisely this!

@foone This feels too late for that Severance keyboard Kickstarter to be the reference.
