New townies, new #Introduction #Introductions!

Just a fellow technomancer screaming into the void.

Posting about privacy, the dystopia of big tech and utopian small tech, cyberpunk, embedded/low-level stuff, retro computing, other arcane bits.

Restricting follow, will approve if you got an avi and some toots and don't seem like a total ghoul.

Tend to follow those that interact often enough, or are interesting, and aren't a firehose of toots.

Auto follow approval and follow back for townies.

this feels like the right place

Ed will introduce Ed. Full name; Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Trivusky the 4th.

Ed made it up, you know. Nice to meet you!

Tech enthusiast: "I want smart lights, smart tv, everything, and connect them all to my digital assisstant!"

Tech worker: *looks wistfully into distance* "I should get a small place in a little town, with a garden, make my own furniture."

Dark Sky, the weather app and programming interface, has joined Apple.

But don't worry, they will "reach far more people" by, you know what, not even gonna make a joke. Any non-iOS apps and interfaces are shutting down.

Had a friend that went backpacking before all this crap went down, came back late last week and was like what the heck.

They didn't have their bartending job to come back to. Asked for some camp stove fuel, gave it to them, they walked back into the wilderness.

They can't build predictive algorithms on you if you're unpredictable.

Let chaos reign.

So estimates are in next couple weeks is when infection number are really going to ramp up around here.

Know someone in local medical system, they say certain hospitals are designated first line to house the infected, entire floors dedicated to covid patients. They work in hospital thats a second line.

They got their first patient. That means first line is full, and shit hasnt hit the fan yet. And this is an area that has been proactive in social isolation, closings, etc.

And did he forget the actual wars we're in?

They literally want to threaten us with death if we don't increase their profits.
