I don’t understand these companies’ obsession with humanoid robots. A robot doesn’t have to humanoid to be a useful household helper. It doesn’t even have to be humanoid for people to form a friendly bond with it (something I think would be a good quality in a “household helper”) just look at Star Wars droids

Ayaneo made the Flip DS but besides being expensive apparently the battery life is a bit wanting- but at least these kinds of products are starting to be made!

What do you think? Does it frighten you??

I watched someone on twitch playing this and there was a point the character was playing a phone game and it was so frustratingly accurate the way it portrayed the “watch ads to get gems, but the ad is a fake game that you try to close but you click the wrong X and it leads to a broken link” experience perfectly

It may be best not to learn TOO much about dolphins 😅

It’s not about softness, it’s about the fibers that make the tissue. Tissues and wipes not made intended for glass have rough fibers than can scratch glass. You’re better off using microfiber or disposable glass cleaning wipes. If you’re concerned about microfiber cloths getting dirty, most have care instructions on their tags, and it’s usually hand washing and drying.

I absolutely love dark mode and find light mode headache inducing but will never understand the elitist attitude beyond a quick joke. Accessibility is good in all forms!

To get any meaningful answers, you may want to better specify what you mean by “talk”.

FYI, neither of your links are working for me on voyager iOS or on the web

EDIT:

I think you were trying to link to websites and not communities

I apologize for implying that.

You’re right that we shouldn’t care, but how do we help those who have been disenfranchised if we don’t identify them? Advocacy isn’t about caring about appearance over character, it’s is about shining a light on systematically disenfranchised groups of people so that we can support them.

I think you are conflating where the “importance” has come from. A person can recognize that skin color does not matter. They can also recognize that the system they live in places a huge importance on skin color through endemic systems that have been in place for decades. How do you counteract an unbalanced system? By sticking your fingers in your ears and going “it doesn’t matter” or by seeking out those who are trying to make a change?

Unfortunately, for some folks it’s never enough. Why only black folks? Why not disabled folks? Why not indigenous folks? Etc. But you have to start somewhere - and many people aren’t even trying. My point is that projects like this are a start. They’re not going to solve every issue but they’re trying to make a difference and I think that’s neat.
