 to their computers. so they interact and use themselves to each other's will

 the more voices you hear the greater the bright bold future calls to you.
 
 "here's how to explain it to executives - your company is non-functional until
 you incorporate processes and decisions that lead to a sustainable future. this
 is impermissable, the earth was designed to receive a certain amount of heat
 from the sun. plants absorb heat because they give you shade. oil is made out
 of thousands of years old plants. if we burn all the plants, then no oil can be
 produced. we'll be extincted

 Look, I'm a fan of small government. I think each state should be its own
 nation, and the federal government should essentially just coordinate trade
 between them and organize a common militia that they use to contest outside
 threats. How unfair is it that we don't get snap funding because they couldn't
 resolve their differences? And how big of a problem would it be if suddenly
 everyone in red states suddenly lost their government benefits... And yes it's
 true that i love America, through and through. These States have stood United
 for several hundred years, but the American United States deserve a bit more
 freedom than is currently granted to. They need to know where they stand, we
 need to prove to each other why we need each other. To that end, we must weaken
 ourselves, as a weight lifter weakens her body by lifting, so that we might
 grow and heal our wounds and bind new accords as her body does do with her
 muscle fibers. We will come out of it stronger for it, if we truly desire
 unity. I think we do, on an abstract level, but practically we're constantly
 fighting. Luckily, the past is soon fading, and we have new tomorrows upon
 which to write our boons and our sorrows, so let's make the most of each new
 light and try for something that might awake, remake, and refine us. We shall
 define us, we who are yet hoping.

 I believe that all people's should be middle class, and if you're lower class
 it's because you squandered your wealth, not that you didn't have it to begin
 with.
 
 I believe people of higher class should get there because they are skilled,
 respected, or otherwise beloved. I believe they should hold less power the more
 they own, because wealth is its own burden and reward.
 
 I believe people who have power should respect it. They aren't necessarily
 those who have little, or much, but rather those who deserve it. It is
 difficult to estimate systematically who deserves wealth or power, but
 difficult problems are the most interesting if kept fair.

a screenshot of mastodon next to a cloud-code session about a revolutionary new hardware development - manufacturizable robot parts called electron valve and throughflow like steam simulations or heartbeats like softer style hydraulics and/or flows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmKrKTwtukE  steam hardware x4 design the next generation "steam deck mini" with handheld office OS and all steam games that can run on it and a new badge in steam "mini certified" if it works comes with two screens and a dedicated input flip switch because it's actually two computers, synced with one-way ethernet cabling and input wired to both here's a demo running on an anbernic it's only one board, so, this isn't an OS it's a portmaster game... but it's just a prototype the real one needs mega engineering oh it also can take calls on any electromagnetic spectrum and send on most some are reserved for like, national use and such or like, air traffic safety controller radio or such  "they aren't getting layed off, they're just being replaced"
