ijeff@lemdro.idto Technology@beehaw.org•Pebble Shuts Down...But Starts a Mastodon Instance?English6·2 years agoI’m surprised nobody has taken on bringing compatible hardware to market. I feel like there would (still) be crowdfunding interest.
ijeff@lemdro.idto Technology@beehaw.org•Pebble Shuts Down...But Starts a Mastodon Instance?English61·2 years agoI hadn’t heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.
ijeff@lemdro.idOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Arm Acquires Minority Stake in Raspberry PiEnglish22·2 years agoI found this interesting in the comments:
Hmm, Raspberry Pi Ltd. joins RISC-V group (Jan 2019). Raspberry Pi Ltd. releases Rpi5 with a unified Rpi1 I/O chip (Oct 2023) freeing them from being tied to a particular SoC family. ARM Ltd. invests in Raspberry Pi Ltd. (Nov 2023). Hmmm… Really seems like a “here’s some cash, stay ARM.”
Can you imagine the marketing impact of a RISC-V RPi board after all these years of it being ARM based? Sure, the number of boards effected isn’t huge, but it’s the marketing impact of losing a flagship product that needs to be considered.

I prefer uBlock Origin myself.
I’ll be entirely honest - I stumbled in from All and didn’t notice which community this was and was thinking about the words in isolation.
With that said, I think you can think of economies like trees. They can grow in a way that’s sustainable and healthy (e.g., public infrastructure, social safety nets, efforts to address income inequality) but they can also be made to grow in an unhealthy way (e.g., subsidizing corporate interests, privatization of public utilities, promoting short-term gain). I think of it as ensuring stable roots and measured growth instead of trying to make it grow beyond its means of supporting itself and letting entire branches break off.
Just a thought though. Interesting conceptualizations either way!
I think cancer would be more unlimited spread like a weed? Unlimited growth to me is more like a tree.
