  • Don’t think anything can actually replace the power and expressiveness of keyboards and text interfaces- that’s always going to be the bottom layer for a productive setup (i.e., you need to actually be able to write code, write shell scripts etc to control your machine, etc).

    Guess what I really want is just some kind of Unix machine that hums along 24/7 in the background, with many different paradigms for interacting with it when you don’t have (or want) a standard keyboard and display. Putting a display over my face feels like a giant leap in the wrong direction





  • The tech and engineering that went into this looks really impressive. That said, as a ‘vision’ of the future it’s 100% repugnant IMO.

    At least, what I want is tech that will improve over the status quo while also getting rid of as much screen time as possible, and/or replace many existing screens (e.g. for smartphones) with less intrusive alternatives like e-ink (once we can get refresh rates higher). Can’t say I’m at all interested in handing control of my consciousness over to a megacorp.
