Oh hey, Wall-E scored.
The camera is angled 22.5° as a compromise.
One of many true smartphones obliterated by the iPhone.
It’s better than The Notch.™
That’s a straight-up Strange Matter cover.
Firefox.
You go to a website and click “save as.”
I have railed against Apple’s intolerable control over users since the iPhone launched, and I still see no problem with saying your special category of bookmarks-as-programs can stick to Safari. You can keep “webview” as your own thing, guys. The problem was always that other browsers were forced to use that… instead of being other browsers.
Not like we have a choice how people think when they’re born. All we can do is fix it later.
Tribalist fearmongering horseshit is endemic to humanity. It is our default.
We are excited to share that Skiff is joining Notion.
Clicked the thumbnail to see whatever spooky face it came up with, and wow, that’s so much worse.
I’m gonna miss this era where AI didn’t know if things were coming or going.
For anyone else confused, there is only one image here. This is the other post.
The twig-like ankles between pantaloons and boots are just fantastic.
I don’t want anything voice-controlled to misbehave. E.g. if the word “goodbye” makes it close out. These things are too stupid for context. You know the rules, and so do I.
Key word: arcade. Bespoke 3D-accelerated hardware, capable of games that arguably looked better than the Dreamcast would, three years later.
The Model 3 was a beast. Your Pentium II with basic VGA was not.
Android damn well ought to let you lie.
This program wants my contacts? Okay, have fun spamming Blarvis Davies, e-mail TheBlarvDog@gofuckyours.elf. Camera? Random noise that looks like a lens cap. Microphone? Well make it real in this case, but if it’s a photo app, quiet pink noise.
It’s fine if the program doesn’t work, work, with fake info. Obviously if I lie to an e-mail client then I’m either typing in addresses m’self or else I’m chatting up Blarvis. Maybe not even that, if I lie about internet access, and it looks like my connection just sucks.
But any program that tries to detect real versus fake info can be nuked off the face of the store.
If we’re worried that your grandma will somehow enable those protections, but be unable to tell they’re on, we can make the fake data even more obvious. After all - the program should never make any effort to detect this kind of chicanery. It can be blatant. FakeName@check-your-settings.grandma. A camera image of light grain applied over the words “you disabled camera permissions.” Though the mic probably has to stay as a quiet hiss.
