Someone is going to link their Signal chat to the app, aren’t they…

I miss my old Nokia sometimes

After you verify your age

I remember when I dumped my Tandy CoCo 3… Learned BASIC from analyzing code I typed by hand from magazines. Had a C64 & an Atari SE as well, but used the CoCo the most.

Last week: AI always uses nukes

This week: Defense dept using AI

Next week: Skynet has awakened

I’m sure you can’t do it easily, but I’m sure there will be ridiculous AI vibe-coded attempts at making it work that end in a catastrophic failure/data breach/scandal.

I don’t think there will be a DDR6. I think the AI bubble is going to pop & all these data centers will become “mainframe centers” that your minimum spec’d home terminal connects to to do all the computing for you on “Our lightning fast multi-core super computer with terabytes of memory!”

😐😭🤮

“I got caught trying to advertise for free and they want me to pay for it like everyone else!”

I know where I live you can’t even take a phone into the courthouse; they have signs on the door and will turn you around at the metal detectors for having one. The fact that they got those glasses into the courtroom at all is a security fail at best, and feels more like a contempt of court charge.

I’ve read enough science fiction to know the beginning of a cyberpunk dystopia when I see it…

Because it makes firearms available to people without having to jump through hoops the government can track, but they can make a machine that makes flexi-dragons into a boogyman, so they throw a “protect the children” in the bill and it automatically passes.

e machines did this back in the 90’s/00’s to predictably failed results.

Everything old is new again…

I linuxed a $50 Chromebook & I use it to do sketchy shit that I don’t want to try on my main rig. “Hey, I found a flashdrive at the park! Let’s plug it into the ChromeBurner”!

But if you’re not installing updates to patch out a zero day, the vulnerability is still there.

They care, they just care differently. What they want is money, so they’re trying to find what the maximum price is they can sell the minimum amount of product for.

If they can dress that up as “caring for the consumer” it’s a bonus.

I remember watching a video on how Contra Force did all kinds of weird tech stuff under the hood to get the game to run. That was technomancy mixed with forbidden occult arts.

The fact that the original Super Mario Bros is 31kb of space is baffling. Getting Kirby’s Adventure to run on the same hardware is pure technomancy.

I’m certain there’s a significant percentage of Grok users who feel that thins is a bonus feature, not a sickening red flag…

Red hat is still around…
