recent remarks from @frame.work's CEO, nirav patel, are incredibly disappointing, and reflect a recurring theme that i'm seeing in tech: embracing, in both vocal and financial support, right-wing bigots and fascists with the excuse of "they make good tech"

Framework supporting far-right racists?

We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We d...

the complete flattening of semantics into just “AI” is certainly not helping

or the creaking sounds of the entire financial system looming above us

but any self-described technologist should at least remain intellectually curious

like just poke around and play with them!

Today I've got something different for you! This is the "Xtra Muse" — and it seems to be DJI's first attempt to sneak its cameras past US tariffs and bans!

See for yourself: this is a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, inside and out.

after years of euphoric hyperreality, web 2.0 arrived at its conclusions, and i feel a growing sense of dread at the sheer amount of context that must be carried forward

millennial nostalgia is so incredibly fraught, yet i instinctively wish to capture what remains of its ideals

also 16GB emmc baked in, and qcom PMIC + SoC + radio means decent chance that power management (suspend) might actually work on this thing, unlike raspi.

3cats @tokilabs.co · 2d

it's more a slightly faster raspi3 with MCU coprocessor. 4x Cortex-A53 @ 2GHz, Audio DSP, GPU w/ h264 encode/decode, 2x CSI camera input, BT/Wi-Fi radio. all fairly bread and butter for qcom, but $44 is decent pricing if you have a usecase for it
