They can ship to India.

India has a big market of cheap mobile and laptops.

Moore's law is almost dead, I don't think ARM and Intel can move any further and make any significant speed improvement. RISC V need to reduce its costs. We need i5 or i7 processor speed at cheap rates.

VisionFive 2 Lite：Unlock RISC-V SBC at $19.9 A low-cost edge computing platform and compact media hub — delivering open-source flexibility to simplify project development.

I don't think RISC-V is moving slow. Catching up with Intel and ARM means they must go faster than them.
RISC-V has some interesting options for SBCs. There was a Kickstarter for a $20 RISC-V SBC (excluding tax and shipping).
2026 will be exciting for RISC-V.

⭐ Transdisciplinary

Multiple disciplines merge with each other AND with non-academic knowledge (citizens, communities, practitioners, culture) to create entirely new ways of understanding and solving problems.

It shares common features with its sister concept, interdisciplinary, yet differs in that it additionally places emphasis on the participation of non-academic actors and practitioners in the process of knowledge production and problem solving.

Transdisciplinary approaches to knowledge production and problem solving to tackle grand societal challenges This collection focuses on transdisciplinarity in policymaking and research practice, particularly applied to find solutions to societal and global challenges.

Transdisciplinary democracy is better.

Even Transdisciplinary Democracy

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transdi...

I was trying to find a good term for the type of democracy I’m codifying in software.

I considered adhocracy, technocracy, functional democracy, and futarchy, but none of them fit the definition. So I coined the term interdisciplinary democracy.

Interdisciplinary

Many disciplines work TOGETHER, blending knowledge.
They integrate concepts, methods, and insights to create something new.

Multidisciplinary

Many disciplines work SIDE-BY-SIDE, but separately.
Each expert contributes from their own field, but integration is limited.

Interdisciplinary Democracy:

Specialized multidisciplinary teams, organized by function, manage the state and are elected by the people.

If India wants to be hardware capital, they must lead RISC V architecture like China.

I must write an article on RISC V.

Collectively, they describe a pattern: dominant companies don’t give up control; they sophisticate it. They build it into the infrastructure in ways that are harder to challenge legally because they’re no longer explicit policy—they’re “technical requirements.”

Not sure when open-source RISC-V will compete with Intel and ARM.

They are moving at a turtle’s pace.

We need lobby groups to push the government to fund open-source RISC-V.

What nonsense?

Means we can't install apps from F-Droid.

Do do that they have to give heavy commission to mobile hardware company, other wise they will all run forked version of android, because customer won't want it.

Bluesky's Moderation Architecture | Bluesky Moderation is a crucial aspect of any social network. However, traditional moderation systems often lack transparency and user control, leaving communities vulnerable to sudden policy changes and pote...

Moderation services can also be decentralized in Bluesky.

Moderation is crucial — we can’t allow spammers, disinformation spreaders, or abusers to take over the network, as has happened on major Big Tech social platforms.

Marketing, education, and advocacy consume a significant amount of time.

Symbiosky is just the starting point — more supply chains will follow. Thanks to Solana and the maturity of the Rust ecosystem, apps can now be built and launched within months.

What we truly need is public-controlled money, or at least money governed by specialized groups with high social mobility — not a system where a handful of representatives speak for a billion people while corporate interests absorb all the value that flows through the economy.

Inflation and demurrage are essentially the same mechanism — both function as forms of taxation.
The difference is only in how they’re applied: one is implicit (inflation), the other explicit (demurrage).

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

In Nostr, “moving your data” effectively means setting up your own relay or moving to a new relay that stores your full history, because the relay is the unit of storage. There’s no fine-grained user-level migration across relays; each relay stores posts independently.

Yes, it decentralized but different design. Individual users can't run their own relay, its technical, cost money, further its for common use.

With PDS system you can move data from server to server, more control to the user.

But if want to move your data in nostr you move complete relays

Open Social — overreacted The protocol is the API.

Open social model can also be build with jsonschemas.

Not sure use lexicon or just openAPI or JsonSchema to build custom apps.

I want servers to also run on mobile or home computers rather than cloud service providers.
