DEX is actually pretty good when used with a keyboard and external monitor. I also dont love thr Samsung walled garden, but I end up buying their products because I use my phones for several years at a time before replacing them so top end hardware specs are a priority and especially cameras.

I would go Sony but the data band support in the US is incomplete, and I can't get caught out by poor cell service while traveling.

I am considering going Pixel next but Graphene hasn't been announced for Pixel 10 yet so I'm a bit on the fence, I guess I could buy an older model and give it a try wifi only for a bit to see how I like it.

A lot of the issue with foldable is the non-standard aspect ratio. This gets to a standard tablet aspect ratio, so should run out of the box with most apps without additional modification.

Also DEX support on-device means it can run fully windowed applications and use mouse and keyboard natively, which is a big boost in functionality for productivity applications.

If I'm reading(skimming) the documentation right, it seems like anyone who can pass the challenge can download the full node and see the full record of interactions. IPFS is not a perfect privacy network, so user accounts can in theory be traced back.

So basically as with Fedi instances it is fully on the Node host to set who can get in based on the challenge, and what is hosted there is their liability. Only difference is Plebbit allows any user to spin up a new instance/community node ad-hoc and they aren't responsible for maintaining infrastructure beyond what is required seed the nodes they host.

Is that right? I'm not sure but hopefully someone better in the know will correct me if not.

I'm ok with both, but prefer co-ops because the members get direct voting on large decisions by default, rather than a proxy vote via an appointed government worker who answers to the municipal government.

That said, there is no reason these can't be one and the same, the local government could fund the establishment of a regional co-op and maintain audit and some other limited authority over it.

I also support long-distance fiber infrastructure being built and maintained by worker's co-ops that would then get paid for service by the regional ISPs. Worker members would be highly motivated to maintain good uptime, and hiring/training members who live local to the fiber lines in remote regions would be possible with the incentive of worker ownership. Once built it is a long term maintenance and security business with steady return, perfect for a worker's co-op that could be financed with private capital at decent ROI.

ISPs should be regional users cooperatives everywhere. Rural areas in the US have local ISPs structured this way, but corporate ISPs have been trying to use regulation to make them illegal in normal service areas, which is disgusting.

I predict that point to point private fiber (currently used by high speed traders) will become more and more prevalent as issues with AI impersonation and spoofing become more prevalent, we should use this infrastructure drive to push linking co-op and public mesh networks using the same long-run conduit.

Nice! Thanks for posting this. Does it run on all wifi bands? Is there provision for mesh extension by wired Intranet?

corn me up snake, I'm passing through your bountious fields shortly

for reference it looks like those are his custome Space X sneakers, which look especially terrible in this lighting.

Everyone's shoes are a bit stretched by the wide angle lenses being used, which is why Elon's feet look freakishly ling and skinny. He does have pretty big feet for his height, or has been doing this oversized shoe gag for a very long time.

Overall his outfit is trash

And the internet is largely a platform for capitalism, and most available content is from the internet. Capitalism fundamentally relies on the confidence games of profitable pricing and marketing, not to mention speculation on finance.

LLMs and the entire field of reenforcement learning is fundamentally biased towards the production of Influencing Machines. We are training models at the fundamental level to be subtle and devious con artists.

No, but they could be women.

Also if your job is Dominatrix. That's it.
