I'm not sure what the big deal is here. The US military has had swarm tech like this for almost a decade through DARPA performing mapping and scouting missions

RIP

Always wanted to try a star labs product. What always stops me are the specs. Not enough ram or storage or CPU to justify the price. Even though I know the premium is there because they aren't just white labeled clevos like every other Linux focused PC company

Did any one see the pinned comment where they say turned off monetization after community feedback? as if this video should be monitized in the first place lol man this does not feel right

I believe financial consequences can be very useful to make it expensive to spam or be abusive.

For example, for a user to access an app:

• The user is required to put up X amount of money as colatoral
• The user can retrieve the funds if they choose to discontinue use of the app
• If a user is reported for abuse, a small fine is deducted from their colatoral

The user Reputation and distribution of fines:

• if a user, has multiple accounts in good standing, the initial collateral to access new apps is discounted for good reputation.
• The proceeds from fines can be distributed to the app's treasury or to users with good rep.

Yeah... Thought they were monitoring angels

It"s a big deal because hoverboards and hovering cars like in the movies

So actual hover boards soon?

Yep. I've not tried it yet. Finally came around to playing around with it though. What I noticed is by default it syncs to the backup and I can't figure out how to turn it off yet. That said the files are decrypted locally with the keys made when the account is created. About to look more into the privacy policy.

I like affine.pro and appflowy but both were not really usuable last I tried them. The self hosted options are barely functioning so at the end of the day it's just local. For a nice looking self hosted wiki I got outline working after tinkering for some time. Affine has been promising!

In their FAQ they explain making money initially by offering paid backups. What's interesting is their future plans, their vision of a cooporitive ecosystem or whatever, they make money off namespaces/domains, publishing/work contribution, in addition to the backups. This is of course if it gets engagement like notion, it will demonstrate ways to make money from an open network.

If you're betting on the tech culture moving to decentralized services this could be a way to have a foot in it.

Will need to check the UI and post again. The buzzwords are directly speaking to remote work culture and a migration away from central services. The ecosystem, their plans to make money off that network are an interesting way to get ahead of those market movements. I'm not opposed but I am suspicious of it.

Skiff was kind if a disappointment when it came down to it. Using decentralized storage web3 privacy buzzwords but finding different ways to vendor lock and track.
