Actually, he’s such a gun afficiando that he regularly eats bullets for breakfast, but this time accidentally ate a live round which was later set off by stomach acid and propelled in an upward direction at a slight angle.

Which is fine for their store. But one of the things that used to make Android a more free ecosystem was that you could load apps from 3rd-party sites or stores, including stuff like F-Droid. Some of these apps do things that Google in particular won’t like - i.e. circumventing ads/analytics - so having them control who gets signing keys is not good

Yeah, and after having dealt with the “I missed a few updates and then the last one put my files out of sync with my schema” Docker issues, I’m very much happy to use the snap. Been on that a couple years and it’s been quite solid, even if I did have to install snapd on my Debian base for it

Hmmm. I was thinking since sort of flat screen that masquerades as a picture frame. Maybe an AIO device for game streaming.

You wouldn’t be though. It’s 10 hours younger looking (presumably than your actual age, so it doesn’t stack)

I saw somebody who did a similar project except the games were actually stored locally, and then the “carts” were 3D printed gameart “boxes” with RFID chips that it would read and use to determine what to load.

My TODO lost includes something similar but with 3D barcodes on the boxes which can be read by a small camera

But you’re not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn’t really stack.

I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).

Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

Yeah I agree. I’ve used PMOS as well as Lineage and Graphene. The latter was the best experience and PMOS was the one that needed the most work, at least to reach any sort of side adoption.

I’m actually looking at something running SailfishOS as my potential happy mid-point, but currently the Jolla phone - which would be my preferred device for this - doesn’t seem to shop outside Europe yet.

Well, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada

• Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)

• Restaurants that won’t even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)

• Realtors that won’t show you housing (if non Chinese)

But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem… racist.

And that’s the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as “the oppressor”. Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.

That’s because it’s easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.

Ok… well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I’m assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

Hell, if it’s necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a “cerveeeeeeelli” before he lunges across the table :-)

I’d go for Leonardo. The others - while I understand things at a basic level - I’d likely not be able to understand most of their fields.

Maybe Tesla but I’m not sure if the conversation would end up centered around some of the neat science stuff I could grasp or pigeons with laser-eyes …

As far as ones who actually did things there I’m not sure that Hawking would have even been physically capable at a point where he was famous.

Where did they get the ages from then? It seems to me most Disney movies explicitly don’t mention age in any sort of direct manner

I’m not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there’s some lineage I’m unaware of. She’s already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.

Mulan… Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.

Yup. It was more my thought that a low power over could produce sufficient results while requiring less resources. Something that can run on a desktop computer could still produce a database with reams of believable garbage that would take a lot of resources from the attacking AI to sort through, or otherwise corrupt its own harvested cache

Yeah that was my thought. Don’t reject them, that’s obvious and they’ll work around it. Feed them shit data - but not too obviously shit - and they’ll not only swallow it but eventually build up to levels where it compromises them.

I’ve suggested the same for plain old non-AI data stealing. Make the data useless to them and cost more work to separate good from bad, and they’ll eventually either sod off or die.

A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s. It doesn’t need to be done real-time either as datasets can be generated in advance

New product idea. A smart toilet which measures each load for weight, scent output, liquidity, girth, and length (compensating for water volume and pre-TP) before you flush.

Forget competing with friends for Fitbit steps. It’ll be “Suzy had one that required the poo knife, but Bobby’s toilet called 9-1-1 for him so I think he wins”

Joystick and MIDI interface port

The actual ending? Mordin was pretty moving to me.

“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”
