I busted my current phone's screen, so of course I'm now weighing the novelty and humor of switching to my OG PinePhone as a temporary daily driver vs the annoyance of actually trying to use it for anything serious.

The #Fairphone 6 is so close to being a great phone but the lack of wireless charging is super disappointing. The replaceable back panel is such a missed opportunity; seems like it would have been pretty easy to add some pogo pins on the daughterboard exposing a USB pinout or something.

#TrailsIntoReverie #kiseki
A screenshot from Trails into Reverie, as the party is reviewing findings on a malevolent artificial intelligence. Juna, the plucky military school student, exclaims, "Right! We're not letting some AI decide our future for us!" The curmudgeonly Professsor Schmidt replies with a quote from his genius mentor. "'When artificial intelligence reaches that point, humanity's true value will be put to the test.'" Prof. Schmidt continues. "Those were Epstein's words when he predicted the existence of a technological singularity." "if you want to prove there's still a place for us in this new future, you'd better sprint ahead full-bore and prove it."

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com
(THIS PAGE: "Nyxian Error Message")
PANEL 1: The EMPEROR’s head peaks out from the bottom of the panel, because two huge TESSKANS tower above him. LOCATION: LA INVENCIBLE EMPEROR: ADMIRAL! How is this possible? Where was our drive early warning system?!? PANEL 2: The ADMIRAL leans over the shoulder of PILOT wearing a helmet that covers his eyes. ADMIRAL: It’s down! Oh god…that whole system is down! PILOT: The orbital phalanx as well! PANEL 3: The ADMIRAL holds a see-through tablet up, the glow of an alert reflecting on his face. ADMIRAL: It’s just repeating some…NYXIAN ERROR MESSAGE. PANEL 4: The EMPEROR holds his hands up aghast, while the ADMIRAL responds. EMPEROR: And the fleets? Where are my fleets? ADMIRAL: At your orders, sire. They’re conducting war grames all week… in orbit over New Zealand. PANEL 5: The EMPEROR holds his hands up to his head, eyes bulging in horror. The ADMIRAL is also concerned, holding the tablet. EMPEROR: What?!? RIGHT NOW?!? Tell them to leap! Tell them to leap immediately! ADMIRAL: My lord, they can’t pinch space near tierra. They’ll have to come via nacelle. PANEL 6: The EMPEROR looks up at his two TESSKANS. EMPEROR: GAHHH! Then we have two critical duties: WE NEED TO GET COMMAND AND CONTROL TO SAFETY. I want you two tesskans on me. You go where I go. PANEL 7: The EMPEROR turns to address a crowd of huge TESSKANS, looing down at him. EMPEROR: And the rest of you! Go prep my shuttle for immediate departure. PANEL 8: Extreme close up on the EMPEROR as he gets very intense. EMPEROR: And Admiral, you turn La Invencible toward that ship, and BEGIN FIRING EVERY M-WAVE YOU HAVE. This ship is the only thing that can stop that city-killer. ——— Want to read the full story?

If you want to use your metaphor correctly, you'd need to talk about how corporations get so big and insular that fresh air can no longer reach the boardroom, leading to disastrous decisions divorced from reality, and other expected results of oxygen deprivation.

Github Copilot is getting better in fits and starts, but it makes using VS Code a bit of a mess due to how I can never be certain what pressing "tab" is going to do. I go to indent and too many times it pops up with a code change right before I hit the key and then I have no idea what happened.

This, from @404media.co, is very good

“The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work”

www.404media.co/the-medias-p...
Screenshot from the linked article that reads: I also know that our credibility and the trust of our audience is the only thing that separates us from anyone else. It is the only "business model" that we have and that I am certain works: We trade good, accurate, interesting, human articles for money and attention. The risks of offloading that trust to an Al in a careless way is the biggest possible risk factor that we could have as a business. Having an article go out where someone goes "Actually, a robot wrote this," is one of the worst possible things that could ever happen to us, and so we have made the brave decision to not do that. Screenshot from the linked article that reads: There is no reason for an individual journalist or an individual media company to make the fast food of the internet. It's already being made, by spammers and the Al companies themselves. It is impossible to make it cheaper or better than them, because it is what they exist to do. The actual pivot that is needed is one to humanity. Media companies need to let their journalists be human. And they need to prove why they're worth reading with every article they do.

This is such an obviously awful decision that I'd almost believe someone at Google is sabotaging Gemini. arstechnica.com/security/202...
Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps

thought this was really beautiful
You’ve talked about passing the baton in the loop of life. How do you want Hideo Kojima to be remembered when you pass it on? I am not going to pass the baton to anyone. I will rather crush the baton… [Laughs.] I don’t need to give “Hideo Kojima” to anyone. If I pass the baton to my staff and tell them to make things the same way I do, the company will not succeed and will go out of business. What do you mean by that? Every day, if I tweet something that I like, a director or an actor or a musician contacts me. They say, “I’m a creator because of your games.” But they didn’t receive the baton of Hideo Kojima. They received my small fire. They’re not copying me. They’re not trying to be me. They have this fire, and they light up their own. And they’ll probably give that to someone else. There were legendary comic book artists when I was a boy. I didn’t become a comic book artist – I was inspired by them, I was influenced.
