At one point we said the same thing about solid state drives

Are you suggesting we use government resources to benefit the masses? Whose side are you on anyway?

Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to find a NextCloud replacement for years. I personally can’t stand the database approach to managing files. So glad to see Sync-In can just add a system folder directly without having to import.

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

I’m on the side of the poor, weak, disabled and oppressed.

Jfc. I’m so over this timeline. If Calibri is woke, does that make Comic Sans an enemy of the state? Like what the fuck are we even doing anymore?

My inner skeptic sees an app and just knows that they’re collecting everything that goes through it. Not to mention it will probably a brick in a few years. It’s a product that’s a neat engineering accomplishment but I doubt it would actually get much more than a few hours of use on its couple of years of existence before you get your next iPhone that this no longer fits.

Side thought: this could have been a MagSafe attachment which would have made it compatible with a much wider range of models.

So I looked into it and there’s a few indicators this will either be vaporware or garbage:

• It’s a Kickstarter with an original funding price of $5000, which is nowhere near enough to fund something this complex
• AI is being pushed as a major component
• Video is very high production value in some ways, but very low in others, and before the product is funded
• No technical explanation of how it’s going to do any of what it claims and no one from the development side is involved in the video. Just a pure commercial.
• Dozens of news sites I’ve never heard of all repeating the same press release with no real info or interviews

Just to name a few… My guess is that the OS will suffer from being difficult to navigate and unresponsive from all the garbage they try to cram on it and none of it will be intuitive.

I wonder how they’ll present the evidence to the court

This assumes there’s a user accessible option to disable it.

But that’s more tha- Oh.

Didn’t work for me. I don’t have any pictures of mountains, though.
