It’s not an android post without someone trying to make it about Apple instead.

Hey as long as that’s the narrative Google believes…

It wasn’t until only several years ago that I learned about Tove Jansson’s Moomin stories. Since then, they’ve become some of my favorite little characters. You can find full episodes of the old anime on YouTube and snuffkin is easily my favorite of the bunch. I want his hat for myself.

I’m just using Safari with the Vinegar extension.

Someday we’ll all be dead and robot dogs will be giving tours to nothing. Some alien species will come across our planet and learn all about us through the ways in which the robots interact with nobody.

Most important comment right here.

Well go enjoy that 12 year old Samsung TV, then, Mr Samsung user! Nobody said you shouldn’t.

I’m thankful I have the option to change it.

Whoosh

My wife, a graphic designer, just showed me a new feature added to Photoshop that basically allows AI to take a close up portrait and turn it into a full sized photo by generating ideal content around the subject using a few simple prompts. It’s really impressive. All she has to do is touch it up to make sure it’s believable and appealing. I don’t really care, since most advertisement photography is fake anyway, but I worry how propagandists are going to exploit the hell out of AI.

Do modern TVs even come in non-smart variants anymore?

They all would have been wiped out.

I was gonna say… I already have an “everything” app called a web browser.

One fun thing about kbin is that websites that get posted frequently can be followed or blocked like their own magazine. This means if you’ve got a bunch of bot accounts posting links to the same dumb site, you can just go to the magazine of that site and just block that instead of playing whack-a-mole with bots.

If you read most of those articles, though, this narrative is unfortunately not usually emphasized.

I really like that the pro models are allowing “special video” now. I’d want that, except by the time I can actually afford a “pro” iPhone, that feature might be built into the non-pro models.

Why would anyone want to buy a USB C to lightning dongle at this point? They can just buy a cheap USB C cable now.

The no.1 thing I’m looking forward to is improved autocorrect.

The dude is a bit of a meathead who will listen to anyone he has interest in for better or worse. I enjoyed his show for a while because I generally enjoy hearing people share their thoughts on things, even if sometimes they end up seeming a little off. As it so happens, I was just as willing to hear out criticisms against his show as well when I started noticing those. Then I just kind of lost interest. It can be a fun show to listen to, but it’s kind of like a dude-bro celebrity magazine-turned-podcast for people who fantasize about being rich and smarter than everyone else. I like to call him “Joe Brogan” now because I think it fits.
