@futzle@old.mermaid.town ok you're the right age, you'll get this. if / when you look at devices like the Liligo T-Deck, or the M5 Stakc cardputer........ do you agree that they're created as simulacra, in the hyperreal sense, of PDAs? the people hwo make them get the surface aesthetic right, from a distance, but lose the thread because none of them, like, remember what it was like to grab your PDA, tap something in, and know that when you get back home, slam it in the cradle and hit the sync button, what you added *will* be on your pc? the people making these things have this aesthetic moodboard of PDA vibes, but none of the like..... actual logic to make it work
