Due to all of the news around our Lapdock Kit, I was recently reminded of this Linux Journal article I wrote almost ten years ago (wow...) about my desire for what we now call convergence--using your phone as your main general-purpose personal computer.

Back then the best I could find was docking a Droid 4 on an Atrix lapdock, and running local Linux apps in a chroot over VNC.

How far we've come!

"Europe’s Cyber Resilience Act was developed with the best of intentions. ... However, the #CRA legislation (along with the companion revisions to the Product Liability Directive) in its current form will have enormous negative effects on both the #OpenSource community and the European economy."

Last week, my colleague Kevin was ready to give up Google in favor of the new AI-powered Bing. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/08/technology/microsoft-bing-openai-artificial-intelligence.html This week, he writes about a chat with Bing's AI leaving him deeply unsettled after it told him about the many terrible things it's "shadow self" wanted to do and confessed its love repeatedly for him. The cycle from enchantment to terror with new technologies is really accelerating! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/technology/bing-chatbot-microsoft-chatgpt.html The convo transcript is worth a read.

@Wildbill So bye, bye, using free API
Made a checkmark cost 8 sawbucks, cuz ad revenue's dry
And them good ole bots were posting using AI
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you retweet posts you love
And do you have faith in Musk above
If the fanboys tell you so?
Now do you believe the election's stole?
Can free speech save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to troll real slow?

With apologies to Don McLean, and @kyle cause he’s better at this.

🎼🎵 A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that twitter used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my shot
That I could make folks follow my bot
And maybe they'd chuckle for a while
But February made me shiver
With every error msg deliver'd.
Failures at the top
I couldn't make myself stop
I can't remember if I tried
When I read about how he divides
But something touched me deep inside
The day... that twitter died.

In light of recent developments regarding the #twitter API (it will no longer be free) and the likely ripple effects this will have on other websites and services, I humbly submit this updated version of an old #xkcd comic:
