Must be peaceful up there.
Side note: Dizzy is fucking great. I should play it again!

Given Trump’s bullshit, frankly, I just want to come in here and appreciate the absolute beauty of our world and its neighbour. I really fear what’s about to happen.


Thanos was right in theory, incorrect in execution.


Amusingly, I’ve seen that, and I’ve also considered the similarly named Volla phone built by the Germans. You can have Ubuntu Touch as well as their own Android-based VollaOS.


Even playing games on Linux is much better now thanks to Steam. Never a better time to change. I want my next phone to have Ubuntu Touch as well. Fuck the horrible Google/Apple ecosystem.


It annoys the shit out of me that they never made the “kids” section of youtube an entirely separate thing.
Like TV, they could curate the hell out of it and not just allow anyone to upload, but no, they instead made way too much money from elsagate videos and videos of kids swimming. Now that that’s gone, it’s now making money off of kids from AI slop.


He’s not your buddy, guy!


Ey, relax guy!


We’ve read enough sci-fi to know where this ends: corporate militia.
Let them cook, and before you know it we’ll have soldiers roaming the streets with little Facebook patches on their arms, or Shell badges on their helmets, or Amazon delivery drivers delivering same-day justice.
Is it really vandalism if it’s an improvement?


People forget that libraries are still a thing.
Sadly, a big problem with society is that we all want quick, easy fixes, of which there are none when it comes to mental health, and anyone who offers one - even an AI - is selling you that illustrious snake oil.
I do the range to those fucking YouTube game things. Stupid things


Would actually love to see the shit show if decisions were entirely AI automated.
I want to see Pickford be deemed offside from a throw in the opposition are taking.
I want to see Isak fumble another easy 1 on 1 and be awarded a goal for it anyway.
I want to see Mo Salah get sent off after the AI mistakes him dribbling the ball for kicking someone in the head.
Can’t be much worse than that we already have.

But I also have no experience of Linux in general yet so I have no idea if this is a good move.
I just really want to get away from android/apple/windows on all of my devices.
I want SteamOS for desktop, because quite frankly gaming is all I really use a desktop for anymore.


Looks like East Anglia has basically disappeared.
At least nothing of value was lost 👍


And is this “small government” in the room with us right now?

I wonder if he’ll use Starlink…
My gf’s employer was going into administration last month. AI was surprisingly competent in determining where to seek advice and had a decent understanding of what to expect and how to approach things such as not getting paid on time (which happened last week).
Of course, we double and triple checked any information given to us with the relevant bodies, but it provided a little relief to go into something so chilling not being completely clueless.
AI has its use, but you have to know how to extract the information you need.
It’s stupid the way people are using it for therapy. Like, by all means ask it if it knows any organisations which can help you, then look those up, but don’t tell it a load of personal information about your relationship, because the reply will be something akin to the advice you see on r/relationships (which is probably where it scraped its data from) 😅
Fantasy World was the one I was thinking of. I had the ZX Spectrum version!
The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy on MegaDrive I think is one I remember fondly as well - I had the 2-in-1 cart with Cosmic Spacehead which I also loved!
