How do I play Boulderdash on C64? Stuck at the title screen..
apples_oranges··on Immich 3.0
Does it have image editing tools like rotate and crop and is it aware of basic exif metadata?

That's better than all agreeing on the wrong answer, however.

apples_oranges··on After dissing Anthropic for limiting Mythos, OpenAI restricts access to Cyber
Idk about Altman, I missed that he’s a bad guy now apparently, but people also still listen to certain politicians that routinely lie every day and don’t even bother to make the lies fit the other ones they said before, so..
apples_oranges··on Habitual coffee intake shapes the microbiome, modifies physiology and cognition
Agree, I drink it a lot and then stop drinking it at least once a year for a few weeks, and for sure it's a different mode of mind, but can't really qualify it besides that I remember my thinking being softer, calmer and perhaps even "more correct" without coffee.

(But I never had any mental-health incidents, and I drink a lot of it, more than all people that I personally know.)

The question is how subtle AI can be. I feel like art sometimes seems to communicate A, and the artist intended to communicate A and perhaps some B, but clearly, it also hints at another C (and maybe also D, E, ..), which was not intended by the artist or recognised by many viewers, while to some people it's clearly there. Now where did that come from?

And can or will AI create it?

apples_oranges··on Ghostmoon.app – A Swiss Army Knife for your macOS menu bar
Nice, but, and this is not personal, I would not trust this app with my computer internals. Probably also asks for sudo from time to time.. but I might ask Claude to make something similar for myself.. (sorry but just being honest)
apples_oranges··on Death to Scroll Fade

apples_oranges··on Kagi Small Web
A bit off topic, but I noticed I hardly ever use search anymore. It's just google.com/ai in 99% of cases. I believe in the future, search engines must go in this direction ..

apples_oranges··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
money is a judgement of value to society and a motivator to only allocate work in a useful way.. wouldn't UBI, even if coupled to actually producing _something_ will lead to a lot of useless stuff being made?
