       By way of #introduction I'll share one of my #projects reclaiming and giving away discarded (and mostly new) Uber JUMP e-bikes. Tens of thousands of them got sent to a scrap metal processor near my house. I wanted one for myself and ended up with several tractor trailer loads! They work great but I had to design a new bike computer to replace the proprietary integration points with Uber's app. The new model has an app too, but interfaces via BLE rather than LTE.[reposting after acct migration]

       Account migration is a bit weird/amazing keeping original post linked here to follow up on threads/info requests that have been lost in the process... https://mas.to/@kvnweb/109309074802755567

       @simon @acowley I suspect neither the business or science/tech studies types are going to look back on this period with kinds things to say. It feels like the industry has broken loose from its moorings. https://gizmodo.com/google-ai-bard-chatgpt-bing-openai-1850119138

       I spent the last few months talking with VanMoof customers, employees, and industry stakeholders. Its implosion isn't just a wake-up call for mobility tech, it's the Ghost of Christmas Future for consumer tech as a whole.  https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/the-right-to-repair-in-a-platform-powered-world/

       @brewsterkahle I was just looking at some of the Filecoin related posts on IA (e.g https://blog.archive.org/2020/10/22/what-information-should-we-be-preserving-in-filecoin/), but hadn't seen any updates. Is that project still ongoing, and if so is there any more info about how it's implemented?

       @brewsterkahle oh cool! How’s it working from a cost perspective? I’ve been trying to understand the economics from both a storage user and provider standpoint but haven’t seen any numbers. Particularly curious how it compares with your on-prem costs?
