They. They outsourced it. Did we ever really have a voice in this? Did we have a choice in what they do with the capitol they control when they wish to reshape society around it?

I love my Ally X deck. That’s why I didn’t buy a Thor. I can run emulators on that. I’m afraid to take it anywhere. And yeah, it feels more like the weight of a musical instrument than a handheld device.

It’s healthy to have that core value imo. I’m happy enough to work around that vs the algorithms we have normalized.

Lol me too!! After I looked I wasn’t too interested. Also crazy you mentioned Thor, that’s the device I don’t need that I can’t stop thinking about.
