As spring turns to summer #Mosstodon beats a retreat in the heat but #LichenSubscribe survives. The brown season has arrived early this year.

Interesting! I didn't actually know the origin of these bronze sculptures - nor that there were quite this many: https://www.victoriabuzz.com/2023/05/heres-why-you-might-see-bronze-hand-statues-around-downtown-victoria/
I certainly pass the binoculars & rigging sculptures frequently.
@cstross @viticci hmm a working, reliable, pleasing fold could be extremely enticing. As I already carry an iPad pocket-ability hasn’t been a prime mover for me.
If I could have everything I do really want (large enough for a keyboard, small enough to be convienient, real honest to goodness desktop computing story ie: Stage Manager 3; This Time it’s Personal) well that’s a naked robotic core I could have … feelings … about.
Mmmm folding.
@cstross @viticci I am also… cautiously optimistic about the future of a headset.
I probably won’t be “in it” either for other reasons (anticonvulsants that leave me prone to nausea, ocular migraines, tics and tactile defensive issues) but I can always make use of more mobile compute.
Beyond optimism - I’d love for something (like the headset) to have been a sink for UI and design energy. Perhaps with something shipping so of the rough spots in other products I do use might get some TLC.
@joshmillard it’s a flossing room?
@caseyliss @mathowie also see “designed in California where they forgot to invent weather or seasons” syndrome
@douglaspynn I can’t agree more… and I took very nearly the same photo the last time the weather was this nice. To paraphrase - you can’t destroy the whole planet; that’s where I keep all my stuff.
@FLGLchicago @ninavizz @mathowie anywhere else this isn’t an “emergency service” it’s “a public health measure”.
In an end-stage-capitalism ghetto this results in market pressure that’s all one sided: no incentives for reasonable pricing, no accountability, no leveraging of economies of scale.
When these issues are broken in these ways that actively punish virtually every citizen… but only in one country in the world haggling over the price cannot be the hill to die on.
