Keep going with the Trails series by order of release. The story gets pretty crazy. The crossbell arc that just released on switch is pretty good.

Maybe take a look at Tales of Arise as well. It might be a mixed bag for you, but I found myself easily engrossed by it.

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?

Rest in peace. Thank you for all that you gave us, Shawna.

It’s never about creating a better society, just oppression and exploitation. The more criminals you easily fabricate, the more indentured servants you easily get.

They all would have been wiped out.

To bad.

Where’s that?

Well, I hope we get a list of businesses that comply so hopefully I can just uninstall those.

I don’t know about those other shows, but I think that’s a perfect approach for One Piece. It’s just silly kid fun from start to finish.

It’s like he learned the word in his own medical checkup and decided to throw it at Biden.

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.

I don’t know anything about One Piece other than the fact it’s really long and super popular.

I heard the Netflix show was pleasing fans so I threw it on when my wife was around and we both ended up getting into it. We haven’t finished the whole season yet, but we will.

It reminds me of watching power rangers back in the 90s as a kid. The dialog is really elementary and clearly targets kids, but the character acting is endearing, and it’s fun to look up the original illustrations because the casting and costumes are so spot on.

I’m particularly fond of how each episode goes through some kind of story and character development, but always climaxes on some big fight scene, just like in the old power rangers shows. It’s like soul food for me.

Couldn’t they just make it look like something that isn’t an ad? Such as a fake video or false “download” button?

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.
