@marcoarment his arguments are sound - but writing 12,000 not-very-polished words to make a point he could convey in 1,200 is just lazy & disrespectful.

He admonishes the hypothetical elitist reader for “suggesting they buy a $600 MB Air”, yet expects the same reader to wade through a waffling, self-indulgent novella so he may make his argument. 🤦‍♂️

@pluralistic Cory, absolutely loved Picks & Shovels. Looking forward to even more Martin Hench in the future.

Not relevant to P&S, but gives me strong vibes of both Eastern Standard Tribe and Walkaway universes: have you ever looked into _Meshtastic_ LoRa networking? (off-grid, low power, open source, mesh text comms)

Meshtastic looks like something that would appear on a Cory Doctorow Venn diagram…

@dangillmor well, in Australia we just had a public holiday on Monday for the King’s birthday! 🤪
@hacks4pancakes nah, you’ll be fine. Welcome to Melb btw! Great city. 🦘
Today there was even a protest rally on Heard Island.
@radleybalko.bsky.social The Verge - and a special shoutout to @nilaypatel’s weekly “Brendan Carr is a Dummy” segment on The Verge’s podcast.
@gruber re: Pebble’s “Apple restricts pebble from being awesome” while I agree this is a little whiny and prob an unhelpful public argument, Apple does have a history of capricious and excessive limitation of Pebble function - including rejecting apps that even _mention_ Pebble interoperability:

@Moltz re: 3D printing software, I settled on FreeCAD … while modestly steep learning curve, the online tutorials are excellent (actually found it easier than Fusion360 to get my head around).

Although it does have a Win95/Linux aesthetic, I’m sick of being locked into proprietary software, file formats (see above for Fusion, which seems to be steadily restricting its free license) and even OS.

FreeCAD runs great on my Mac, but reassuring to know it’d be the same on Linux or Windows…

Make Cavities Great Again? 🦷🤦‍♂️
