"An honest look at Palo Alto’s past (eugenics, environmental ruin, and surveillance) and present (“less a fascism of blood and soil than a nihilistic capitalism of the bottom line” as Quinn Slobodian puts it) suggests the world we’re racing towards will be dominated by bantustans, though I’m sure the Riverians won’t have much qualms about putting casinos inside of them. The sooner we free ourselves of delusions about Silicon Valley’s supposed right-wing turn, the sooner we can articulate the futures we do or don’t want (and the technologies involved in both) and speak a bit more bravely about the gap between the stakes and our willingness to act. Quickly approaching is the day when we will see the embrace of a genocidal telos (“exterminism”) that’ll seek to sacrifice the environment, genetically and socially engineer humanity, and liquidate the uncooperative elements. All of the ingredients are already there. Now we wait for the Great Work that will bring together the brigands laying waste to our world for one last orgy of violence. Will it be those that seek to purify capitalism of its democratic flaw and colored defects? Or those that promise us it will give birth to yet another stillborn god?"

Ein smarter Ring für 2.200$, dessen Akku nur 500 Zyklen (ergo 1,5 Jahre) hält. Geil auch die Samsung Waschmaschine, die Telefonanrufe machen kann.
#CES
I don't really have an explanation, the #CES is over, and everything should be back to "normal". But I like it, of course!
#Flipboard was also bigger again, that's why "the #Fediverse" (meaning for me #Mastodon, #Bluesky and @Flipboard) are on par with #Facebook
