Yo ho, haul away, she’s weathered fire and foam,
She kissed the sea, refused to sink, and now she’s coming home.
Heave away, my brothers, let every sailor know,
The ship that sailed from heaven’s edge still rides the waves below.

@Lutra_Gaming That’s really good. Makes me realize mine is pretty bad.

[Reuben @kedging]

@PathsPeculiar I think you hit the mark with the color and style. Awesome work!

@BuzzPatterson My Dad took me to see Top Gun 40 years ago. LOL took my daughter to see it last night. Still an amazing movie.

[Reuben @kedging]

@Lutra_Gaming I haven’t been a regular there for many years. But I remember spending a lot of good times there in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s sad to see them close, a lot of good memories there.

Quintessential game store. Always thought it was the example of a TTRPG shop.

@BuzzPatterson The roads also get noticeably better.

Men only want one thing and it's a disgustingly cool looking OA-1K Skyraider II Light Attack Aircraft

@bowtiedmeathead Aviation (instructing or flight attendant), theatre, you mentioned not college bound but there might be some classes at the community college that might spark an interest.

[Reuben @kedging]

@tormentalous YES!

This was the first chapter book I ever read. We had a book mobile that would come by our elementary school. I saw the picture in the front and knew I had to read it. But because it was a chapter book I had to get a note (it was the 80’s in Tooele) from my parents that I could check it out and read it. Following week, note in hand, I got my book. Was a great book for a grade schooler.

The driver was awesome though. He became a teacher at that elementary school, and he’d read The Hobbit to the class every day. He’d later open a used bookstore. Then we moved.

@MaryTilesTexas How do you tile around a window in a shower, where the window will get blasted with water during the shower.

🦔 Security researchers discovered the first Android malware that uses AI to help it survive on your phone. The malware, called PromptSpy, sends Google's Gemini model a screenshot of your screen and asks it how to lock itself into your recent apps so Android won't kill it. It loops through this until Gemini confirms success.

Beyond the AI trick, it's full-featured spyware. Remote access, intercepting your lockscreen PIN, recording your unlock pattern as video, capturing screenshots, and tracking what apps you're using. To block removal, it overlays invisible buttons over "uninstall" so tapping them does nothing.

My Take
This is where malware is headed. Traditional malware relies on hardcoded scripts that break when devices differ. Using an AI to look at the screen and figure out what to do next makes malware adaptable in ways that used to require much more sophisticated programming. The AI isn't writing the malicious code, it's just helping the malware navigate your phone, but that's enough to make it way more reliable across different devices.

I don't think Google is liable here since Gemini has no idea it's helping malware. But as AI gets embedded into more attack chains, these companies will face pressure to detect and block malicious patterns. Whether that's possible without breaking legitimate uses is an open question. For now, be careful what you install, and if an app asks for Accessibility permissions and you don't know exactly why it needs them, don't grant it.

@FlowersAgainst I sometimes enjoy this song to memory thing too. Mine’s Spoonman. I was in Staten Island, she was too, but her family lived in Queens. Also, I did not appreciate how special New York was in ‘93 ‘94.

@HarmeetKDhillon The crown decrease style looks like a nice change of pace.
