Important thread by @jasonhickel about the inequality of the distribution of labour, the disproportionate extraction of value from the global south that facilitates the Imperial Mode of Living in the North.
Hickel is one of the leading scholars behind the #degrowth movement and his work is often enlightening.

However, their own funding is probably cut next year, which would have a big negative impact to FLOSS projects.

I got several questions on what's new with Version 7 of the Ray-ban Meta Smart glasses. The URL of the release notes follows: These features and improvements will become available starting the week of July 31, 2024.
Respond without 'Hey Meta'
Now you can make another request to your glasses after the first one without needing to say ‘Hey Meta’ again. Your glasses and mic will stay on and listen for a brief period after each request is complete. This feature will be on by default but you can turn it off from the Settings menu in the Meta View app.
Stay on track with the games in Paris
Get real-time info on the Paris Olympics, including medal counts, event times, results and athlete bios. You can also ask questions about your favorite athletes and games from past events. For example, ask “Hey Meta, which country is leading the gold medal in gymnastics?”
Improved Apple Music search
We are adding a setting to make it easier to recognize previously unrecognized tracks and enhance your Apple Music experience. To turn this on, go to Settings in the Meta View app, select Apple Music and turn on Improved Music Search.
Share photos to your Instagram Story hands-free
The feature is now supported in French and Italian in addition to English. Your glasses can capture and share photos completely hands-free to your Instagram Story. From the Meta View app, go to Settings, then tap Communication and connect your Instagram account. To share, say “Hey Meta, share a photo to my Instagram Story” or “Hey Meta, share my last photo to Instagram.”
Share to Facebook Stories from Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses
You can share photos you capture with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to Facebook Stories. To share to Facebook Stories, make sure you’ve turned on voice interactions and connected your Facebook profile to the Meta View app.
Improvements
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
Early Access program
These features and improvements are available in the Early Access program.
Skip saying “look and” when you make a request to Meta AI
Early Access users can now say “Hey Meta” and ask Meta AI about what they see without saying “look and.”

IEEE's MAC address allocations have a weird pricing structure.
If you want to buy a 12 (aka 4096 addresses), that's $855 one time (or $0.20 per MAC address).
However you can buy 20 bits of space (1Mil addresses) for $2,030 one time !, and 24 bits (16Mil) for $3,375 one time !
I somewhat question the desire to buy 4096 MAC addresses when 1 million is only around 2x the price.
