The prosecution to crime ratio being skewed in the favor of the elite is not ahistorical.

That’s not what happened here. Your strawman is showing.

I happened upon a chance to play with one of these last year.

I was visiting London for only a day while on a trip around Europe, and made sure to visit Schneiders Keller while I was there. Tom (who brought us the open source Turing Machine eurorack module) came in to drop off a demo unit, and I got the first play on it.

It’s a lot of modular packed into a small package. Loads of fun. Also quite rugged and portable (built into a nice case, and can be powered by a battery bank).

Firmware is swappable, and can be completely customized.

> The microcontroller in Computer is an RP2040, the same as a Raspberry Pi Pico. The program cards are the entire flash memory for the Computer, so there is no firmware on the device itself. They can be programmed in C/C++ (Pico SDK), Arduino Pico, Circuit Python or anything else that works on RP2040. Program cards can be re-programmed or updated over USB with a simple drag-and-drop process. You’re welcome to sell or give away any code you create, and can make your own custom cards if you want.

Murals are a part of nearly every city in the world.

Comments about “private property” show a lack of cultural awareness. Such a shame.

I find it hilarious that folks still consider Musk to be pro free speech.

He has shown time and again that the underlying philosophy is “free speech for me, but not for thee”…

…or more specifically “don’t tell me (and people who agree with me) what we can or can’t say”, while actively censoring opposition.

He does this without believing he is abandoning a “free speech absolutist” stance.

Blind hypocrisy? Unrestrained privilege? Both? Something else? Not sure.

So pathetic that companies like Apple keep appeasing the unpopular fat old dictator. Take a stand already.

What I’m talking about is an obvious front facing indicator.

Not a shiny piece where a shiny piece usually resides on some kinds of frames. Not a single LED that can be covered.

Yes, assholes should be held accountable for their own actions, but this issue goes beyond that. Having a recording indicator would be a simple fix for Meta.

As for Apple, the camera can be an optional upgrade, but not everyone will actually need one. Apple can already do object tracking with sensors alone. It’s not far fetched to expect a more developed sensor-only experience from future Apple products.

Apple is one of the few companies that has the resources to challenge authoritarian bullshit, and yet..
