@Edent Good god. Who would people buy this? Haven't we had IR sensors for toilet flushes available for like, thirty years already? Which _didn't_ film people pooping?
@ConvergeToNaught it isn't for flushing…

This Is For Everyone is now available in paperback.
You might recognise the face on the cover...a younger me at MIT in 1998 when 150 million people used the web. Today it's roughly 6 billion.

What is the greatest science fiction film or video series to date?
I am not asking about novels of any kind. There, I am well-supplied.
I am asking about original or adapted film or video.
@GeePawHill The Expanse! Amos is one of the best characters I have ever seen on screen.
@slightlyoff really happy to see it land… but it's broken my slides for next week. I think there are bugs with the implementation resulting in things being in the wrong position.
@jaffathecake Ruh roh. Can you file a bug and cc me and Claire? There's probably also a runtime flag. I can look that up later.

@EUCommission Why the ai slop picture?
Hi @aetios! We prefer not to use AI-generated visuals on our channels. The image in this post was made by our in-house graphic design team.

Just a reminder how shitty Amazon actually is…
“Let me remind you: payola is Amazon's single largest source of profits. When I was researching Enshittification, Amazon's take from payola was in the mid-$30 billion. A year later, when I did tour stops with Tim Wu (who was promoting his excellent book The Age of Extraction), I learned that this number had climbed to more than $50 billion. This year, it's on track to top $80 billion.”

# What AI Chatbots Can Teach Us About Unmet Legal Needs
This is interesting, albeit with a very narrow focus.
In quite a few of the examples here, it looks as if the use of genAI was an alternative to using a search engine.
I thought that this was particularly revealing (and worrying):
> Beyond legal advice, many conversations revealed users looking for emotional support.

I think i can empathise, and try really hard not to get stuck in a doom loop when talking to others in the same frame of mind.
So today I'm heading to Bristol for https://drtbristol.co.uk/ to
a) surround myself with wonderful folks and have fun
and b) as a way of trying to reassure myself community resilience is a thing i can support
@CiaraNi Been waiting to get my hands on that! Big fan of her other books, highly recommended if you haven't read them yet!
I'm not happy with this. 17 mins screentime after 7 hours and fauxx is already the main culprit 🫠 uninstalling for now

@realestninja @guilhem_allaman So... isn't that its point though? Run and connect to random sites? Maybe report the battery usage to the developers.
