That said! Stream is going live! I'll be playing more Surviving Mars again, because I'm just really hooked.

I actually dug through the depths of my closet to find my Pocket PC PDAs, to see if I could run Pocket Toot ( https://github.com/NattyNarwhal/PocketToot ), but it turns out they're both running Windows Mobile 2003.

Also, I'd have to figure out how to build synce, downgrade my wifi from WPA2, find the charger for the ViewSonic, and pray the disconcertingly bulging battery in the Dell does not explode

There's a lot of talk in this study im reading about how pensioners are often very lonely, and I just wanna like... establish communes like that one I saw a thing about, I think in the Netherlands(?), where students and elderly ppl lived in the same housing complex and the students got cheap rent in exchange for spending time with the old ppl? I think that's how it went? And it was nice for everyone cus people weren't lonely. I hate that about capitalism the most I think, the way it divides us.

Sometimes, people need #cute

*gasp* Facebook weakened WhatsApp encryption so they could open it up for businesses by selling user data and making a profit

Oh wait, no. That’s not surprising at all

“Dekotora” or decorative trucks of Japan

This is apparently a movement in Japan, now mostly relegated to charitable events. Drivers elaborately and intricately decorate their trucks both inside and outside

There’s a paper out called “Disguised Face Identification (DFI) with Facial KeyPoints using Spatial Fusion Convolutional Network”

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.09317.pdf [PDF]

The authors claim that it’s possible to use deep learning to recognize face attributes even while wearing a mask. This can have serious consequences for people who appear at protests

I mentioned this last year, but it’s more relevant now because of the increasing frequency and magnitude of protests and corresponding police violence
