I love how this alternative distopian future is so sililar to our distopian present

you know what they say, history repeats itself

If we don’t learn from our future mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them the first time

I know those two. The father is already a legend ... and will never be forgotten. 😢

By the way, that pendant looks a lot like an AI enabled ...

Oh boy .. I'm so in !!!!! 😍

Damn it, I never made the connection, you must be right about the father. :'(

[-] gnemmi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

That was the first thing that struck me as soon as I saw the image! <3

You mean "Oh boy I'm so in!!!" ?

[-] gnemmi@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Absolutely ...!

That was back when I bought a dozen and a half of them.

I kept a dozen for personal use ...

As for the remaining six ... I kept one to start working on it .. dump the code to see what I could do to hack it.

My work would ultimately end up to be yet another failed attempt to set basis for the creation of a free MATA MAID ...

By the same time, I sent two of them to the Charles University in Prague in the Czech Republic, where a bunch of students and post grad academics were working on what later would become known as "The One True Browser", so they could dump the code and play around with it . They told me I was "sick" and that I should "look for professional help". I should've know better than send it to them .. they were academics after all ..

Also sent one to a "Cream of the Crop, Lisp obsessed Elite Hacker Master Mind" in NZ to the same effect and pourpose. And the remaining 2 to two hackers whose identity would remain veiled even to me ... all I know was that one of them was from a place called Merveilles Town .. the other one was an already renown "console cowboy" ..

My mother's the one using an Alexa, and I side eye the thing.

I would love a voice activated timer for baking though. Is that a thing without it stealing all my precious info?

Precious info is mostly that I listen to country music while home canning.

Alexa was actually a precursor to Mata Maid.

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Is she... petting Fish? That's like, if in the middle of Karate Kid, Mr. Miyagi and Daniel just had a cuddle session with no preamble or context.

[-] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 3 months ago

it's a more accepting time, I don't judge

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 months ago

Maybe they should have. Too many people are alienated from loving, platonic touch.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I was at a friend's house recently, and they had an Alexa. I didn't know where the bathroom was, so on a whim I said: "Hey Alexa, where's the bathroom?" It directed me to the nearest public bathroom, which was in a prison 4 miles away.

I've seen a few, particularly mycroft. I've heard they're sub par but that's to be expected when they aren't yoinking all your personal data.

I'd search up Foss voice assist if I were you. I have no want for the things though so I can't help there

What exactly does this have to do with UNIX?

[-] jaycifer@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

I think the series name is "techno-mage in unix_surrealism," so the community name is just a reference to the series name. I want to say the main character does have BSD installed in her sword.

[-] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 3 months ago

Actually OpenBlade is canonically a Lisp Machine. Techno-Mage does have BSD installed alongside her sentience though.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Good question. Also, wtf is it period?

[-] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 months ago
[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Hmm, alright. I am not sure I get it exactly but maybe for that to happen, I'd need to see an exhibit with several pieces. When's the show? :)

Not my site. But as a German, if I see Mate I think of caffeine.

one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.

Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:
