I care a lot about systems, particularly systems of technology and education. Fighting for liberatory schools and a free and open Internet. ᨏ

"The iPad Pro doesn’t need to run macOS, but the answer to why an iPad Pro can’t do something a Mac can do, shouldn’t be to carry two kinds of computers with the same M-series chips, with the same RAM, with the same storage, and do different things on each.”

Trying to build a system to scaffold your brain is such a tricky business, because you have to balance the tools available, how you want things to work, and openness to ways that might work better.

M4 Chips in New iPad Pros?

@daringfireball

❝ It makes little sense for a new generation of Apple silicon to debut in iPads.

i’m shocked to hear this take from you, of all people — if the M4 chips are ready, why would Apple wait to release new products with the new chip family? especially if the chips are key to a software feature likely debuting at WWDC?

also, isn’t it possible that the iPads were delayed from their earlier launch date because of issues related to the chips themselves?

@austinha@mastodon.social avatar

@moderation i’ve heard that the reason Mastodon doesn’t let you migrate posts between instances is because it would be a moderation nightmare. do we know this is true? (both that that is the reason why AND that it would be a moderation nightmare?)

@spreadmastodon we take it as dogma that decentralizing social media is a net positive for the world. but, i wonder: to what end is decentralizing good for?

i’ve been thinking about and am going to use this as the start of an ad hoc thread about identity and account portability.

here’s where i think i’ll land:
1️⃣ the Conventional Wisdom conflates features with AP.
2️⃣ the Conventional Wisdom is that AP guarantees a , which it does not.
3️⃣🔥 and a hot take, as a treat: is currently doing better work building the system that most AP advocates think is being built here.

@moderation lots of lively discussion about and this week, which i love.

to add some flavor, this post by @rodhilton can be used as an example of why Mastodon’s design decisions around moderation, account portability, and identity are not an end-all, be-all answer:

@spreadmastodon anyone have a theory on why facebook beat myspace? i’m working on teasing out why social graphs rot over time, and wondering to what extent it’s a function of the features of a service vs. the stewards of the social graph vs. something else…
