@darkuncle @hashraydamon @thegibson Sneakers was not cyberpunk though. If you broaden to hacker fiction, then Sneakers is included.

@templetongate @bookstodon Yup, Kobo.

Do people really read 99k words in 7-8 hours? There are fast readers for sure, but this kind of metadata always puts me off. It kind of tells me I'm not a good (enough) reader. @bookstodon

Looking forward to watching "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" with Lance Reddick in his final screen appearance. Not to mention the amazing Ana de Armas from "Knives Out" and "Blade Runner 2049" in the lead role. https://ballerinamovie2025.com

Have you ever wished you could write simple CSS to declare a color, and then have the browser figure out whether black or white should be paired with that color? Well, now you can, with contrast-color(). Here’s how it works. https://webkit.org/blog/16929/contrast-color/

#Bluesky's decision to use #Google Forms to collect personally identifiable credentials and other personal information from users who wish to be "verified" can easily call into question Bluesky's entire security and privacy regime, which in this case at least appears to be utterly amateurish and uninformed.

@beep I see! I don't have one of those. But maybe I should.

@beep What is a links section? A page with links to blog posts or a references section at the end of blog posts? I have this: https://hackerfiction.net/blogpage/

A sign of success, I guess.

@Rainer_Rehak Thank you!

@karol_pieknik @carnage4life That's funny!

One of the reasons I reject illustrations like in the article is that I think they mislead people. Sure, it might be quicker to envision, but the vision is wrong. Better to take people on the path to what we think it will be like.

In a grocery store with no human staff, there will likely not be a robot greeting them at the register. There probably won't be a register at all.

(I write near-future fiction so I have to think about these things a lot. 🙂)

@carnage4life It always fascinates me when people envision AI as biped robots acting in an environment built for humans when they don't have to (see article's illustration). There won't be a grocery store with shelves and carts for these agents. It'll just be a 3D space with sensors, cameras, and means to move items. No robot is going to walk around and push a cart.

@Rainer_Rehak Iceland doesn't have a four-day workweek. This is fake news that's been spreading lately. They ran trials with 2,500 workers between 2015 and 2019, reducing the standard workweek to 35 hours. The hours were not compressed into four days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-day_workweek#Iceland

@siriusfox This sentence from Wikipedia is especially important: "Agreements to reduce work hours following the trial have led to a reduction of an hour or less."

@siriusfox The link got cut off for some reason. Here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-day_workweek#Iceland This opening sentence in the post here is wrong in three ways: "Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true." No approval, not 2019, and since it's not ongoing, no predictions have come true.

Some new Kobo eReaders and all refurbished ones are sold out in their US store. Either people are reading a lot or there's some tariff thing going on.
