„Angry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,”
“A human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe.” In a way, it is humbling, but it’s also a relief to know that there’s a larger structure of which we’re a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow don’t seem so traumatic.”
We’re all emotional animals. And when there’s a crisis—when there’s no time to study the situation for weeks—we have to decide **now**. We react through our understanding and experiences. So yes, that means we’re all idiots, vulnerable to corruption.
That’s why we created **scientific methods**: to overcome the unchangeable parts of our inner selves.
A person who can clearly see and admit they’re corrupted, selfish, and greedy? They can still create techniques to control themselves. When a person clearly sees that they **can’t change anything**, that’s the first step.
I think the most horrible things—what’s happened and what will happen—come from this sickness in our minds. **And it is unchangeable.**
Environment Scientist(Student), I like positivity news, fitness, Olympic lifting, Linux, Fediverse, art, music, books, science, universe, activism.
Science is not media. I try to avoid, and I am not interested in Media politics, Media religion, media marketing, media economics and trades of those medians.

As meditating- listening to myself (Krishnamurti).
Memento mori — “Remember that you must die.”
Memento amoris — “Remember love.”
We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the ‘what is’. To observe ‘what is’ very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together – and I hope we will – we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.
From Collected Works, Vol. 14 (krishnamurti)
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

in reply to 🎃Imogen🎃 • • •@HopelessDemigod They didn't sell it but rather split it. Every Motorola shareholder received 1 share of Motorola Mobility for each 8 shares of Motorola. After spinning off Motorola Mobility, they did a reverse 1-for-7 reverse stock split for Motorola and renamed it to Motorola Solutions.
It was initially the same owners for both companies but immediately diverged due to both being publicly traded. Google acquiring Motorola Mobility ended the historical shared ownership of the companies.

in reply to GrapheneOS • • •@HopelessDemigod Motorola Solutions keeping the original legal entity is only really a technical detail rather than it being the only actual continuation of the company.
Motorola Mobility is definitely also a continuation of the original Motorola.
Motorola Solutions has some of the older parts of the business including the radios but the mobile phones and the pagers before those which were discontinued long before the split are what most people recognized as being tied to the company.

in reply to GrapheneOS • • •@HopelessDemigod @Ox1de Keeping the legal entity for Motorola Solutions was likely more about it being heavily based around government contracts in particular. It avoided a whole lot of hassle and potentially losing a lot of money. It was easier for Motorola Mobility to shift everything over than Motorola Solutions.
Google messed things up by acquiring it for the patents, not knowing what to do with the rest and gutting it to save money short term. They could have just spun it off immediately.

In the case of the original Bell Telephone Company they formed Bell IP Holding, L.L.C which each of the separate companies collectively own including their successors.
