“There’s a common misconception that state-of-the-art technology has to be expensive, energy consumptive and hard to engineer. That’s because we have been persuaded to believe that #InnovativeTechnology is whatever bombastic billionaires claim it is, whether that’s commercial #spacecraft or the endless iterations of generative #AItools.

As the #Canadian #technologist and #engineer #UrsulaFranklin once said, fantasies of technology would have it that innovation is always “investment-driven, shiny, lab-born, experimental, exciting”. But more often than not, in the real world, it is “#NeedsDriven, #scrappy, on #location, #iterative, #practical, #mundane”.

The real pioneering #technologies of today are genuinely useful #systems I like to call “frugal tech”, and they are brought to life not by eccentric billionaires but by people doing more with less. They don’t impose #TopDown “#solutions” that seem to complicate our lives while making a few people very rich. It turns out that genuinely #innovative #technology really can set people free.” — Eleanor Drage

I think my Raspberry Pi's SD card just died. That's what the screenshot shows.

Obviously, it's a backup to a main device.

Je pense que la carte SD de mon Raspberry Pi est morte. C'est ce que la capture d'écran indique.

Bien sûr, c'est une sauvegarde sur un appareil principal.

"You know what else makes innovation possible? Boring stuff like universities, research institutions, and a functioning legal system.

You know what #authoritarian regimes love to do? Gut all of those things.

Think about where most breakthrough #technologies actually come from... decades of basic #research...

Yes, eventually the private markets and companies take over the commercialization, but so much of the core infrastructure of innovation comes from elsewhere."

So far #Trump has not met w/ #Xi Jinping, #China’s president, & his few telephone interactions w/ him…have not gone beyond familiar talking points on the future of #Taiwan, China’s #nuclear buildup, & disputes over export controls of key #technologies. Trump has focused almost entirely on the #trade relationship, his aides say, & there are signs of division inside the admin over shifting the focus of American forces out of #Europe & the #MiddleEast to the #IndoPacific.

"#Mozilla can press on with independent subprojects such as #Thunderbird owners #MZLA #Technologies #Corporation. The popular #Electron #framework is based on #Chromium. It's too late to change that, even if maybe #Servo may one day offer an #alternative. But if #Thunderbird sucked in #Libpurple, it wouldn't matter if #Slack and #Teams and so on used #Electron, as Thunderbird could talk to the servers directly."
"But pointing at what we'd like to see is attempting to #treat the #symptoms and not the #disease. Is there a way to #encourage Mozilla to be an #organized, #focused, #professional #business, with #eyes keenly set on a clearly defined #goal? Perhaps that's the wrong #question. Perhaps that shouldn't be the goal at all. For all that the #Linux business is #huge, no #company #develops the #kernel. They all #cooperate on it. The #Linux #Foundation #funds it, but doesn't really #guide it."
"One #observer has been #spectating and #commentating on Mozilla since before it was a foundation – one of its original co-#developers, #JamieZawinksi. He has been accurately #cataloging Mozilla's #failings for #years."
