- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 5 weeks ago:
We do this, 2 timex family family connect watches, the older green ones off eBay. It’s perfect and it opened up the privilege of walking home from school, walking to the park, and walking to friends houses as long as they keep it charged and check in. The newer ones look like an apple watch which I felt made them a theft target but the old ones have changed the family’s life. Then, we can ask them to do chores when they get home from school, and if they do, they can ask us to unlock tablet.

So first, it’s assumed that the transition between matter and energy has evolved to be essentially lossless in the trek canon, and you just have to assume that’s true. This is handled with the “Matter-energy conversion matrix” which is a hand-wavey sci-fi invention like a “Heisenberg Compensator.” See …fandom.com/…/Matter-energy_conversion_matrix
Additionally, this process is bidirectional; waste on a starship is converted into energy and stored. This is done with the “bio-matter resequencer” and is referenced a few times, see:

Anything that gets us closer to mattercast. If we can have one interop standard to be able to cast to devices, whether it be a kodi box running the casting server, a smart speaker running Home Assistant’s voice, or a google/amazon device, one open standard to rule them all is the world we need to get to.
- Comment on Is it currently possible to completely self-host ATProto and interact with BlueSky users? 5 months ago:
This is a good breakdown. A firehose relay takes TB’s of storage and is not practical for self-hosting, and AppView isn’t hostable yet: alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q
