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

History is embarrassingly parallelizable

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.

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.

Alexa was actually a precursor to Mata Maid.

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.

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

What exactly does this have to do with UNIX?

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.

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