I made an appointment and tried it at an Apple Store the week it came out. The UI and immersion are amazing, but after 20m my forehead was warm and sweaty and my neck started to ache. Heard the headband that goes over the top distributes the weight better.

Once they figure out how to make it 1/2 the weight and 1/5 the price, it'll go mainstream.

Dotcom bubble. 2008 crash. Covid. Now this.

We've all been through these. Buckle down. Ignore the outliers. It's a chance to rethink and do what matters to you.

Also, ALWAYS have a Plan B, C, and D.

This is a two-way bonus. If a Flipboard user, you can post an article to Mastodon with just two taps. The magazines themselves can now also be followed via ActivityPub.

Flipboard CEO, Mike McCue is a big booster of decentralization and also has a podcast where he covers others in the space.

More original content flowing into the Fediverse. This is all good.

Noticed we haven't watched anything on it in a while. Was about to cancel it and then saw the ad for The Last Airbender live action, coming end of February.

If they drop the whole season, will binge-watch, then cancel.

Not all states are fully electronic. Many districts (including mine) are run on paper ballots that are then scanned.

I would be more concerned about the upstream tabulation systems. The possibility of making bulk changes is much more harmful than tampering with single voting machines.

There was a mad dash to electronic voting after the Bush v Gore hanging chad fiasco. A lot of people are still focusing on the voting machines vs. the integrity of centralized tabulation systems.

Had trouble making it through even the first couple of minutes.

Sorry, not for me.

Who in the 9/11 came up with this algorithm?

Yup. But was thinking more of ultra-small-run ARM or RISC-V processors. Be cool if we ever get there.

How long before indie devs can make their own custom processor chips?
