But imagine if you could just like, ask your phone to set an alarm! And then it would do it!
... what do you mean we've already had that tech for a decade?

I was thinking more Jokerz, but honestly ICP is cool by me. Not really my thing, but they've always been anti-fash and after Violent J's daughter got into the furry fandom and formed an alliance, they're solid in my book.
Super Mario 3D World is a fascinating game when you think about it.
When Mario moved to 3D, it simply wasn't practical to make a lot of course-based levels like this, you can understand how intense that work would be. That's what necessitated the move to the more open, star-based missions.
It's only recently that the skill and tooling has allowed for this and 3D World/Land are the expression of that: an evolution of the Mario 3/World formula.
Personally it's one of my favorites, I should go back and play it again.
Your point is well-taken, but this is also exactly why AI reliance is dangerous. Anyone who sees this should realize the precarity of relying on products that can just be locked away from you.
I'm old. One of the elder Millennials who grew up on the internet. I stubbornly didn't use emojis in any context for a very long time, but I did use emoticons sparingly =)
Eventually as more people of more diverse generations started using them in conversation with me, I adapted to kind of speak where they were at. Like you I mostly use them as punctuation at the end of a sentence to help clarify intent if I don't think it's clear otherwise. They can help be an indicator like that
Most importantly though, I think we all need to understand that there will never be a really clear consensus on this. We are going to have to learn to communicate with each other where we're at and if you disregard someone solely on the style in which they use emojis you risk disregarding the opinion of some very intelligent people. And I think, personally, you're gonna come off as a bit of a dick about it if you feel the need to post responses telling them so. I can't change your opinions for you but maybe keep that to yourself.
Further notes: I actually include a lot of emojis and ANSI color sequences in my programs and scripts. Drives some people crazy but I find it really helps make some things more readable and draw my attention to things (taking care about what effect this might have on downstream ingestion of course, but most things handle emoji competently these days)
Finally! As someone who has played the only(?) available English translation of "I am an Air Traffic Controller: Airport Hero" on the 3DS, my time has COME!
What's that? Drug test? .......... Nevermind.
Anthropic Unveils ‘Claude Mythos’ – A Cybersecurity Breakthrough That Could Also Supercharge Attacks
It absolutely reeks of desperation, too. When you can't sell on hype, fear is the next thing you move towards.
Owls are adorable. They always look so stern and serious and then you see these videos of them on youtube taking a bath and realize they're just little goofs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA2Iyw6V9gk
Ask a dozen people, get a dozen answers. I think the main tenet is just acceptance: if someone says they're X species, then it's true because they say it. And by that grace when I say I'm Y, so be it. I think most people realize it's a silly game, but in that respect it's a bit of a litmus test in that can you just play along or do you gotta be a dick about it?
Personally I used to take it a lot more seriously when I was younger. Staunchly a no-nonsense red fox with a back story etc. etc. I thought mythicals and hybrids were goofy, but it's tiring to be so uptight. Tried to identify heavily with one thing because I thought that's how you built a sense of self but eventually learned you can just do whatever you want, there are no rules. Cringe is dead, sparkledogs are unironically back in style.
Now I'm a sea slug. I don't know if I think that reflects who I am or maybe just more what I want to be: stoic, cute, utterly devoid of bones. It doesn't really matter so much as it's just a thing I like. A little character to pour some of my creativity into. Whenever I'm having a bad day I can just go online and look at pictures of sea slugs and cheer myself up because it's that simple. Sometimes I get a message from a friend with a picture of slug in it that says, "look it's you" and it makes me smile. It's a little bridge that keeps me anchored to the world when I got nothing else going on.
Posting from pawb.social, I don't want this to come off as too self-aggrandizing, but there are two communities people should start watching and learning from for the post-corporate internet: furries and speedrunners.
-
Furries: If you've ever wondered why there seem to be so many furries in tech and cyber security, there's a good reason. They were some of the first digital natives to colonize the early internet; use it to connect distant weirdos into an online community. The core pillar of the fandom is simple and non-commercial: be a silly animal. This is an important distinction to the Bronies and Juggalos (no shade, much respect, but I gotta call out what's true). The overt horniness and subversiveness of the culture makes it impossible for marketing and outside interests to take hold. We chased Tony the Tiger off Twitter (RIP). I'm not saying things have always been perfect, I think in the earlier days of the 90's and 00's the push towards extreme inclusiveness prevented pushing out a lot of the worse elements, but the community has been much better about calling these things out these days. Extremely queer, socialist, and anti-fascist - these are the elements that build that strong sense of support.
-
Speedrunners: While it does break a bit from the core pillar of not being centered around commercialized products, I do think there's still a great amount of leeway with how those products are used in the context and also good integration with the indie community. There is no one central product. And out of that has sprung an extremely organized, self-policing, self-motivated group. These people invest hours meticulously tearing code apart by the seams just because they can and if there's anyone I believe can save us from AI through the shear brute force terror of human cognition, it's the speedrunners. It's no coincidence that the largest organization and charitable event is also very queer and inclusive with significant furry overlap.
I know furries are weird and not for everyone (although I do think it's odd you don't know what animal you'd be ... come on, you don't have one in mind?) but I think it's very much worth taking a look at the community from a higher perspective and figuring out why it has succeeded and will continue to succeed and how you can bring those things to your communities, whatever they may be: climbing, cycling, coffee, crochet, DIY, etc.

Look at these vulpixes, they're so cute, I'm dying.
High Score: 1,324,627,321 on Area 5 with 0 continues - Bomb mode.
The Battle Was Just to Continue that Future
I made it past the midboss, but Area 5 is RIDICULOUS and I am never getting that 1 CC. That's fine, I'm still very proud of this. I never thought I would be into bullet hells, they seemed frustrating and out of my reach, but now I play them to relax. Once you crack them they're really not so intimidating and very conducive to flow state. Cave makes some of the absolute best and I adore the crunchy 2D pixel work. Also highly recommend Espgaluda and Mushihimasama Futari. I also have a soft spot for Deathsmiles, ESPRa.De., and Muchi Muchi Pork. For non-Cave stuff, Raizing's Armed Police Batrider and Sorcer Striker/Dimahoo are great as well as Psiykyo's Dragon Blaze.
Seriously, give them a try. Fire up MAME where you can pump infinite virtual quarters into them, pick one to focus on and see what you can do. You might be surprised.

IMHO opt-in means the snaps wouldn't even be on the system unless you had already opted in, but I was never going to use Ubuntu anyways so what does it matter.
