@arstechnica what was Lenn Sassaman have to say about this?

@nixCraft I once told a candidate not to take the job I was offering because we had toxic levels of stress due to leadership carelessness. 🤦🏻

@arstechnica pollution is worse than genocide

@arstechnica Lion King: Generations

@arstechnica 100 years too late

@arstechnica don’t forget to account for the massive environmental damage that the public subsidizes.

@arstechnica well how do I disable it?

@nixCraft @lisamelton I feel seen

@arstechnica really surprised that anyone is watching Manifest

@arstechnica stop calling them hallucinations. That’s the most ridiculous characterization possible. Call them errors, flaws, defects, mistakes, which is what they are.

@aral sure I understand all that. What I am referencing is the 12 person team that gave the world a specification that lead to the PC revolution in the 70s. The PC specification was public domain and defined the standard that would dominate computing for decades.

@aral the IBM PC may provide a model for how to do it with VC and without greed.

Create an open specification for a cell phone that uses commodity components and can be assembled by hand. V1 might be the size of a book but it would be a start.

Might be impossible given some of the complexity in cell phones, so maybe a WiFi only tablet is a better way to begin.
