The device is a long way from restoring normal vision. The images it produces are black and white and the field of vision is extremely narrow. Hodak described the experience to the Financial Times as “kind of like looking through a straw in the center of their vision,” though he added that they see a pathway to color vision and higher acuity.

Unless they can backport the future improvements somehow, I’d wait as long as possible before jumping on it with those limitations.

Finally. Gun violence I can support!

Being harassed is still better than being forced to kill or be killed.

Hell, I’d tell my kids to fake being trans to avoid fighting Trump’s bullshit distraction-from-the-Epstein-files wars.

Was it ever proven she was the source? If so, that’s some serious double-standard shit right there.

Don’t be surprised if you find hexbear giving you similar twitches.

Trump just wants the USA to be the only one who gets away with that crap. Taylor Farms — the company behind the killer diarrhea lettuce outbreak — apparently is quite the user of cheap prison labor.

No worries. I’m sure they’ll be fleecing as many as they can in a shared access scheme.

Just so long as BeaconDB can keep its data relatively up-to-date (which requires many users contributing via running another FOSS app in the background on their phones), never mind trusting them any more than Google.

The answer — as it is for most things — is money.

This must be your first non-political (mostly) cultural phenomenon. It’ll run its course in 3-4 months, after which it’s going to be something else or back to politics as in the USA it will be election time.

µBlock doesn’t have just one list. You can go into its settings and choose which of many lists to use (and even add your own). There’s probably not going to be a list that manages what you want right now. There are likely hundreds of such sites being made almost every day now with open source AI models.

With so many techies losing their jobs to AI, I’ll bet it seems like a low-hanging fruit method of generating cash to many of them. Most will stop when they find the costs outweigh the benefits (while leaving dead sites up in their wake), but others will just be starting so the cycle will continue.

Yeah, humanity’s fucking itself pretty hard right now.

Not really, TACO knows all about folding.

Niche film targeting kids of a lesbian throuple?

ACaCAB. Not to be confused with Abacab.

Full version (better).

Paywall-free version.

A missed opportunity would’ve been to identify as a “Plan 9” OS user, causing panic about attacks from alien-controlled undead.

Don’t forget using them to hide somewhere out of reach when the peasants finally revolt.

I’m going to get my socks sorted.

Paper’s easy. Find someone who knows how to replace the image drum so you don’t get ghost reprinting all the way down the page.
