@billbennettnz I think Fisher and Paykel health is a totally different similarly sized company
@pratik gawd … so which mastodon client do you use - because what I use sucks enough to stop me using mastodon at all.
@pratik am following you @ writing exchange in rss .. and see around 4 posts from you since 2024 …
@bradbarrish I use folders in my rss apps .. that kind of solves the problem but what I really want is to filter post by post … kind of why I don’t like genres in music .. the genre will vary track by track … let alone album by album and certainly not artist by artist .. so as I think through the downside of what I want I become very happy with what I have.
@bradbarrish so all micro bloggers into a single feed for examples
@billbennettnz and quite right too - I am more echoing how people talk - not the reality - as Chris pointed out in his article - the RL order was all about ‘war’ - which might explain the quiet.
Re the ‘more US’ angle - true of Xero as well - no? Another Kiwi success story.
Meanwhile New Zealand Story often talk about how NZ tech is responsible for so much export revenue - 🔗 latest news at Tin - reports $20Billion - Kiwi - TECH EXPORTS
This list includes
Fisher & Paykel Appliances - 1.6 billion - which last i heard was sold to China’s Haier - a long time ago - and I woudn’t call it tech
Datacom - 1.48 billion - which was actually Datacom TOTAL revenue
Xero - 2 billion - and yes a kiwi company headquartered in wellington - but not listed on the Kiwi exchange since 2018 and where
When does ‘Kiwi’ stop being Kiwi?
What is ‘tech’ - because this list includes white goods and media special effects - I would argue that the ‘special effects’ are the exports? If the tech could be exported - why would Cameron just about move himself here to make his films.
… and my belief is that all of this shouting damages the real stories.
Eg - like what a company like Buckley does - not massive revenues like the top 10 - but with revenue per staff member of over 600K (three times that of Xero for example) with products as deep as the are - not to mention the manufacturing issues - that a Xero doesn’t even have to think about is surely a more worthy story than big numbers that don’t add up - and are small anyway on the global stage.

@ddykstal I move around a lot .. so a Big Mac screen is important .. since I can’t guarantee that I am beside an external monitor most of the the time .. I would love my phone to be smaller .. if I also have a mini .. I don’t want a giant phone to be the phone and a replacement mini. So generally with you.
@jsonbecker got it .. thank you … I feel a single page mod coming on .. but not holding my breath 🤓
@jsonbecker was going to ask about json.blog/uses/ … and why there is a difference? I can see some aspects .. eh guitars .. are very different - but there is overlap - like software ❓
@jsonbecker Thank you
Not kept up with this story - but some Visual Capitalist info for your delectation …
@bradenslen You mean he hasn’t?
@ddykstal I find the mini my perfect form factor for my outputs .. my main inputs via my Mac .. I have a bigger iPad that I thought I would use more than I do .. increased portability over the Mac etc .. but no .. but I do wonder if one day one of the giant screen only iPads might be an interesting addition to my input collection .. but budget / need etc .. that all said though the ‘paper like’ aspect would add to a yes .. but I really don’t like any kind of stuff on screens or bodies of my devices.. and I hear nothing that Apple might be thinking about Sherlocking the Remarkable .. but if they did .. it might tie more closely to my APPle centric world. Or is remarkable more integrated than it used to be?
