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

  • How much you want to bet it includes (and requires) "AI interviews" to suck the last bit of dignity from you?

  • Watcha wanna do with him, boss?

  • A great idea, killed by coordination overhead.

  • I guess "death panels" are fine if they are machines?

  • I thought they already gutted much of AOSP. Like removing the dialer or contacts and stuff.

  • That stick is a fine line between order and chaos.

  • Excuse me, sir. May I have a quart of cat?

  • AFAIK it is an anime trope. I think it is called "sudden realism".

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Are you suggesting I should have asked it to reprocess the image, or ask it to try again?

  • You probably rightfully decline when your browser asks you "Allow somenews.site to send you notifications?"

  • I would say simply to avoid buying phones from ad-companies, but more generally... if you buy hardware from vendors that respect ownership (i.e. that have user-unlockable bootloaders) then you don't really have to worry about this kind of thing, as even if the company turns evil later, you can probably flash the phone with a 3rd party rom.

  • To be fair, unlockable bootloaders seem a bit exceptional on the Android side too...

  • NOTICE:

  • At first, I thought this was a "flash forward" reference.
