There's rumors they've been planning a phone.

There's also the possibility it was a coincidence, and the stakeholders in the Gemini decision are breathing a heavy sigh of relief.

2026 Wimpy would be an effective serial entrepreneur.

Yeah I'm kinda in the same position. I pay for both One and Workspace for myself and not sure which to use for some of this stuff. I mostly default to my personal account since it has more context, but then bringing in stuff from the Workspace Drive/etc. is an extra few steps.

And some stuff like Project Genie is just flat out unavailable on Workspace which seems weird to me.

The thing is, yes it will still happen, but at substantially decreased rate. Groups of people banding together to solve a problem or figure a solution will slowly stop forming. Everyone will be out there learning just for themselves.

The collective knowledge of people will likely ebb. Things will be different and individuals will have to adapt.

It's FOMO all the way down.

> I don’t give a flying fuck what people think.

So all your writings are private, then?

Do you have a motivation to communicate or publish? You're posting here on HN, so I think so.

Why do you do think you do it?

> After all, it was worth no more than a hundred million other votes

Not strictly true for presidential elections.

My vote cast in CT literally matters more than someone else's vote cast in CA. Yay electoral college!

Nothing surprising ever happens in October. You're talking crazy here.

I could end up stealing that for my own tinkering distro that never ends up releasing because it's awful.

Ultimately, nothing lasts forever and entropy takes all.

Thinking about this problem and extending the average company life seem like worthwhile endeavors while we're trapped on this ball of mud.

I've always admired Nintendo (NCL) for adequately managing their various successions, even in the case of sudden death (Satoru Iwata). I wish there were deep dives into their practices but they're very secretive.

Meta has to release the hardware, then we can get started on alternate OSes.

It's a shame open source hardware isn't a thing in this area, but we've been here before. (Buying locked down devices and installing alt OSes.)

I tried Kdenlive, OpenShot, Shotcut, Pitivi and others. It's a personal thing but I just could not get used to their UIs. Well except for Pitivi, but that one is way too buggy.

I even briefly considered using ffmpeg and bash to get the edits I wanted...

Blender has a complicated UI but at least it feels completely consistent and thought-through. And also like it wasn't designed 20 years ago. I just have more confidence using Blender than others because it's so big, respected and known.

My learning process is basically "How do I do this thing I did in Premiere?" and basic Googling/YouTubing. I needed a tutorial video to get started but otherwise if you know NLEs it shouldn't be too hard.

Anecdote time.

I couldn't get Resolve to run on my discrete-GPU-less PC running Fedora. First the lack of RPM or Flatpak were lame, but integrated graphics was the real killer.

I started learning Blender VSE and walked away super impressed. Finally found my editor. (Spent years getting used to Premiere on Mac and PC.) It runs good even though I don't have a dedicated GPU yet, unlike Resolve. (And Blender is a full-on 3D modeller, I should note.)

I'm going to scale up my hardware eventually, but right now my editing needs aren't huge. Just chopping and splicing up stuff for YouTube. Blender's VSE is incredibly good for my use case.

The scruple-to-dollar exchange rate is just the worst. Or the best. Whichever makes more sense in this analogy.

It seems to be just bored, edgy teenagers. Probably "acting out" in one of the few ways they can. (They can't vote but they already have solved every political problem in their head. Ahh youth.)

Still doesn't make it OK, though.
