I physically can’t use a browser without Vimium anymore.

#1 is Guyana, for anyone curious

That’s true, might not have gotten into Metroid later without playing this one. Good point!

Super Smash Bros (every incarnation). Never got the hype

The Pinetime’s a pretty solid FOSS watch, actually. Assuming you’re ok with pretty basic use cases (for now), it’s easily worth the $30ish to get one

The vast majority of federal cases end with a plea deal. Any idea if that could include forfeiting any right to run for public office? Would be great for peace of mind if so

Can’t imagine applying to work for an ad company in the first place.

Same here (even though I own bluetooth headphones). No reason phones can’t support both

Don’t think anything can actually replace the power and expressiveness of keyboards and text interfaces- that’s always going to be the bottom layer for a productive setup (i.e., you need to actually be able to write code, write shell scripts etc to control your machine, etc).

Guess what I really want is just some kind of Unix machine that hums along 24/7 in the background, with many different paradigms for interacting with it when you don’t have (or want) a standard keyboard and display. Putting a display over my face feels like a giant leap in the wrong direction

That’s why we need something open-source and self-hosted.

I don’t see any downside at all if it’s layered on top of some other (very capable) keyboard-driven UI that can do all the same things.

No. The future of tech should be about getting more capabilities out of fewer (and/or less intrusive) screens. Would love to see more advances in e-ink displays and open-source, ‘ambient’ voice-controlled UIs.

The tech and engineering that went into this looks really impressive. That said, as a ‘vision’ of the future it’s 100% repugnant IMO.

At least, what I want is tech that will improve over the status quo while also getting rid of as much screen time as possible, and/or replace many existing screens (e.g. for smartphones) with less intrusive alternatives like e-ink (once we can get refresh rates higher). Can’t say I’m at all interested in handing control of my consciousness over to a megacorp.

Any distro where I can easily replace the default with sway.
