I'm actually surprised that a notoriously conservative company like #Nintendo came up with #Labo. DYI cardboard peripherals are _very_ easy to replicate without Nintendo's approval. For a company hell-bent on protecting it's IP, this is a fairly awkward step. A sign of the times?

"To retain this status quo, ISPs have spent decades writing and buying state laws that prohibit towns and cities from exploring community owned and operated broadband networks (...) which not only hamstring municipal broadband providers, but often ban towns and cities from striking public/private partnerships."

Community owned ISPs are offering better service and lower fees? Better squash them in the name of the Holy Free Market!

"The modern profusion of things that are collective without being state-dependent (...) attests to people’s talent for making things happen; and the solutions they come up with tend to have deeper roots than most things imposed from the top."

A testament to the strength of #cooperative movements around the world, I guess. If the left is to survive the neo-nazi tide, it better embrace coops ASAP

Notice how the "positive vision" implies citizens hooked to their VR visors while corporate power goes literally hand in hand with the machines.

Intel facing class-action lawsuits over Meltdown and Spectre bugs

#Meltdown #Spectre

the safest way to use computers remains abstinence

There's some even beefier #RISCV #Freedom platforms by #SiFive.

At 1.6 GHz, 64-bit and up to 8 cores each SoC, (as well as gigabit Ethernet, USB 3, PCIe 3, and DDR4) it looks to be competitive with #x86 zombies.

Just need some awesome new #FOSS computing environment on there!
