I see a hint of color, so I just know the refresh rate is going to be awful.

I guess AI is best measured by how much power it consumes… ?

I wonder if this is a bug or a feature.
- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it is the same brand, but my morning walks are cheered on by an increasing chorus/wave of “hello, you are currently being recorded”. Weird dystopian vibes.

I think the skeleton needs a top-hat before we can caption this.

That sounds like the basis for some kick-ass sci-fi.

What if it goes the way of facebook, and one day you realize that it’s just you in a virtual space filled with bots.
- Comment on Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway 1 month ago:
For some reason, that doesn’t look like a GPT-generated graph, which means… sadly… that someone had to make that thing… and somebody had to approve it.

So even if it does not move, this pawn could get promoted by some future tile-slide… come to think of it, I guess two pawns could get promoted in the same turn via a tile-slide.

So now that the black pawn has reached “the last rank”, does it get promoted?

- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 months ago:
IIRC, I had a PC (since sold) that had secure boot permanently enabled from the factory. That is, in spirit, a PC with a “locked bootloader”, but you might not even notice because many Linux distros have that Microsoft-blessed Linux loading shim… but it is still Microsoft inserting themselves between you and your hardware; they could decide in the next few years they no longer “support” Linux, hypothetically.

It was not immediately obvious from the image (though you might see the starfish for scale), but these things are huge!
- Comment on Environmental Damage 2 months ago:
It makes you wonder if they have a whole bunch of training data in this style, or if it is the mathematical average of all cartoon styles mashed together.
- Comment on Environmental Damage 2 months ago:
Are you suggesting I should have asked it to reprocess the image, or ask it to try again?

To be fair, unlockable bootloaders seem a bit exceptional on the Android side too…
- Comment on NOTICE: 2 months ago:
At first, I thought this was a “flash forward” reference.
- Comment on Apple Envy 2 months ago:
I would agree insomuch as Google’s privacy issues are better known.
Nonetheless, we are comparing two jail cells. One has a finger-puzzle that opens the cell-doors than the secure jail (and an obvious surveillance camera), and the other one is securely locked with a less-obvious/hidden camera (iphone backups)… and the issue at hand is they want to remove the finger-puzzle because the captives keep opening it to let baddies join them.
