Damn! I didn’t realize the radar was so expensive.

I really like that it tracks speed. Being able to tell officials that a significant portion of drivers are speeding seems like a great first step when requesting stop signs or speed bumps.

Ask it about the nets!

how?

To be clear, users can still manually share Google Photos pics with connected frames.

It’s shitty that they removed apps ability to see all photos when authorized, though.

Joining an existing project would be more helpful.

So, here’s the bottom line: when WaPo’s opinion pages are being gutted and tech CEOs are seeking pre-approval from authoritarians, the line between “tech coverage” and “saving democracy” has basically disappeared. It’s all the same thing.

tbf, the past few years have felt like decades

“Open” is “.com” 2.0.

The guide seems to be aimed at attendees, rather than organizers and media. If someone is showing up to add their voice to the protest, then leaving their phone at home is an ideal way to minimize their footprint.

If you can, leave your phone at home

That’s it! There’s the answer!

Framework isn’t sharing any idea of pricing today, beyond that it will be “lower cost” compared to the Framework Laptop 13, which typically starts at around $750 for a DIY model with previous-gen chips or $1,100 for a prebuilt with the latest ones.

I really hope they can get the price low. I briefly looked at Framework in the fall, but I couldn’t justify the price.

This is a well written call to action: bullet points, concise headings, simple language, links to examples and reasoning.

It beats the usual manifestos that get posted.

Canadaland mentioned it in an episode a while back. I think it’s this one: https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/1059-substacks-founder-on-news-money-and-musk/

That is a lot of text. But the bit that jumped out at me was:

But if you need a tool to communicate privately with your friends and family–even if your chats are boring, mundane, and totally legal–Signal is the best damn choice I can recommend.

And I trust them, because they bedazzled their essay with lots of furry art. Like an excessive amount. So they either know what they’re talking about or it’s a mid-effort psyop.

WikiTree is popular in my circles. I’m not sure if there’s a significant difference from Family Echo.

What is Family Echo? Why is it better than other free genealogy databases?

I find that many communities with the same name fragments users. Then posters try to post to every community with the same name which produces duplicate posts that fragment conversation. The two noncredibledefense communities are a good example of this, as are the half dozen parenting and dads communities.

It’s a lousy user experience.

What’s the value in duplicating existing communities?

Are these cables just for use by Meta properties, or will they sell access to other orgs?

Apparently Google (or maybe Alphabet?) also has a bunch of undersea cables. It looks like those are for just by Google Cloud customers (and presumably) Google itself.
