@neauoire to each their own, but I’d recommend really sitting with the computing concepts behind realtalk before throwing it out just bc of the projector/camera thing dynamicland depends on. There’s a lot to learn there for everyone

@clarity yeah, it's really not for me. Computers but everywhere is something that scares me, I like when it's opt-in, sort of thing.

@neauoire that makes a lot sense given the context of your environment and your work! It's certainly fundamentally incompatible with sailboat life.

I go crazy being cooped up and depend heavily on coworking buddies so I'm very interested in anyone who's daydreaming about computing as a room-scale communal makerspace/library environment.

@clarity What you're describing, I think, is a route toward consent, which I can appreciate, knowing that this is a space where you willing walk into the computer.

@neauoire yeah absolutely. A world where my grocery store runs a projector+camera computer to surveil me sounds like hell. The researchers at dynamicland are very emphatic about resisting that, and I think this is a major reason the project -isn't- open-source. It's "communal-source" instead, open & modifiable to anyone who shares whatever space it's set up in.

But it's worth talking about the risks here, because maybe they're opening the door to getting co-opted and corrupted someday.
