The EU is looking to change regulations around repairability and greenwashing to make it more difficult for companies to sell short-lived products that do nothing good for the environment.
The new rules will ban greenwashing in marketing and require manufacturers to list whether a product is repairable, and for how long parts will be available, where customers can see it.

Artemis II is Literally Coming Together

I had originally got started with Evernote but exported everything to QOwnNotes later on. After that I started using Obsidian (powerful, free but not open source), and I'm thinking of making a change again back to something open source. Although I've also tried Joplin and Standard Notes, I never fully migrated to them. The beauty of an open standard like Markdown is that you can switch apps and just continue using all your notes from 10+ years ago.
The only issues you may experience are that some "features" like say generated tables of contents, Kanban, to-do's, highlighting, etc are not standardised in Markdown, so you can lose these when changing apps. But generally, headings, bold, italics, indenting, links, images, tables, etc are all fine. So, if you stick to one editor then go wild with the extra plugins, but if you want to retain compatibility across editors then you may want to think about what plugins you make use of.
Although not listed in the linked article, I see that open source and cross-platform (including mobile) Logseq has vastly improved, and I may want to give that a spin. Its feature is "everything is a referenceable block" with a block being a paragraph of text, and it calls notes pages. Only thing is it seems to mark the start of every block with a dot (and this shows in other editors) so hopefully I can disable that being inserted into the saved text. Its philosophy also centres around a daily journal where you just write your notes and can flag to-dos or link/search for anything. It also has whiteboards and graph views of linked notes (just like Obsidian).
Very interestingly, I noted that both Logseq and also Obsidian, have various Chat-GPT plugins to help generate content or even to rewrite your rough drafts. So yes, AI has already invaded open-source text editors!

Largely, your choice may be determined by whether you have a Pixel phone (or Google One subscription on any phone) or Samsung flagship phone. I have both, so this was of interest to me to see which one have the edge. It does appear that one does a slightly cleaner job of erasing, though.
There are also other third-party apps out there that do object erasing, but these were not evaluated in this review. But bear in mind, like moon shots, this is "faking" the photo.

Not sure if the polyester is recyclable or likely to cause new problems down the road but I suppose if we desperately need to pull CO2 from the atmosphere to buy us extra time as we de-carbonize everything, this could be useful?

Minor rant. Am I the only one who was ever annoyed that Apple Magic keyboards are stupid expensive and don't have the little feet other keyboards have to let you incline them?
Okay, this is pretty amazing :O
3 students from Stanford University combined #GPT4 #whisper & augmented #reality #glasses to create #RizzGPT .
RizzGPT listens in real-time conversations and guides you on what to say next. They're calling it Charisma as a Service (CAAS for short).
It uses:
Whisper to transcribe live audio from conversations
GPT-4 to come up with a response
Monocle AR glasses to display the response live in the glasses
Looking forward to chatting (virtually) to @aram’s grad students on privacy, human rights, and the Small Web this Friday at my alma mater in DC. It’s for their Media, Law, and Policy course as part of their PhD and MA programs in Media, Technology, and Democracy.

A Drupal Backend developer should have a delicate balance between writing code and site-building skills.
They should know when to use existing entity types (content type, taxonomy etc.), when to create new entity types, and when to extend the existing ones.
They should know when to add a new field, re-use created ones, and develop their field type and formatter or develop just a formatter for the existing field.
They should know when to use existing views by creating a new display mode, creating unique views, or displaying the results using custom queries.
They should know when to use a contributed module, when to extend them and when to build it afresh.
And the list goes on...
If someone is better than one thing and not the other, project architecture and codebase become a mess in a few years, and then technology is blamed.

Ich finde die Idee immer noch ziemlich brilliant. Gerade mit flexiblen Solarzellen kann ich mir das gut vorstellen. Das Stromnetz der Bahn sollte sich zur Einspeisung eigentlich gut eignen... #technology

Cameron Hughes is an amazing #fashion designer that integrates #technology into his creations. I found him during the start of the pandemic on the now controversial TikTok, but here’s a YouTube short of his content from there. It’s amazing! He’d do so well on Mastodon.

Meanwhile, in battery news...
Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed an oxygen-ion battery with a storage capacity that doesn't decrease over time, leading to an extremely long lifespan compared to other batteries.
This battery can be produced without rare metals and could be used for in large energy storage systems, e.g., to store electrical energy from renewable sources.

The Economist interviewed me about conversational AI for a short news documentary they were making. I discussed how I didn't think it would replace Google Search. I also discussed my concerns about copyright infringement, hallucinations, and how it may adversely affect the open web.
