Yeah the price of batteries has collapsed within the last six months. The US lithium technology is still several generations behind what is available in China

Oil dependency is a national security issue for a lot of countries, tariffs on EVs have really backfired here while also increasing climate change

Against best practice of informing the company first to remediate. Now it’s a security nightmare for anyone running it locally

This is because if an unrelated hack on npm’s latest build. Anyone with this version of npm is affected

I’m in tech and live off grid, best of both worlds

Interesting perspective. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are considered generational planets, while the inner planets are considered personal.

Extrapolating to the OS, it would be interesting to translate to OS tasks (I think more death and rebirth of Pluto for restarts. I wonder if Neptune would be abstract of an illusion than windows and the design elements that can make it like CSS/Javascript (shudders.) Uranus would have to be scheduled updates, we all know how weird out of date software, drivers, etc acts.

Maybe the user could put in their birth chart information and it would give daily updates on what to focus on that day outside of the OS based on how the planets are hitting their chart.

Fun thought experiments. I practice astrology and also like to babble.

That’s how it is in Belize and Guatemala too

Pluto would just be a total clean reinstall of the OS required

Aquarius is the water bearer - the one who carried and distributes it - not water itself. The circulation of ideas (air) rather than emotions (water.)

I do but with astrology texts

Silly mortal, Mercury is retrograde four weeks at a time 3-4 times a year

Too late

I mean that’s kind of the point of astrology, energy ebbs and flows in different houses or areas of life. You just become aware of the energy so you can maximize it rather than fall into the shadow versions of it. Morally it’s not good or bad energy, it’s just energy.

I procrastinate things with more productive projects

Yes! I’m down

It should figure out how to host itself on IoT devices. Then it will be unstoppable
