    This is the truth. I got a free Oura ring and I would love to try it, but they’re in bed with palantir. Fuck that.

    So many interesting developments, but I’m unwilling to sell my soul to the devil to try them. What a dream it would be to use them without worrying that they’re going to sell every possible bit of data about me to the lowest bidder.

      If its any consolation, nearly all new tech gadgets are shit anymore, still more are neat for a bit then slowly turn to shit in time, and others get abandoned and become theater props.

      If your fear you’re missing out, I assure you that is merely a perception, and you’d be disappointed if you tried most of that stuff. In my experience, any new tech in the past 10+ years that looked interesting ended up looking less interesting the more I learned about it, to the point I was actively disinterested before I was even done with my research on it.
