The past of mobile is still so… close (temporal) to me. So many of the niche moments feel like “yea, we did that last month” and many of today’s concepts and conclusions feel akin to a parent saying “oh that dance is just _____ from when I was your age.”

Computing is stuck… or spiraling into itself in different ways. It is very hard to have a unique thing *and* that be widely accepted and appreciated. Takes a long time for even the smallest things (to us today) to make their way from the invented-past.

If I could tune/shift one thing regarding Avanceé, it would be to reignite some of those niche moments (devices, services, and experiences). That “wild child Sony attitude” of the 1990s/early-2000s… it would be very nearly that kind of thing… but with the lessons learned since.

That would be how bitcoin/nostr seems to be a means forward. To be part of the ecosystem which pulls the present back to itself… rather than the past into the present.
