one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

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.
I've seen a few, particularly mycroft. I've heard they're sub par but that's to be expected when they aren't yoinking all your personal data.
I'd search up Foss voice assist if I were you. I have no want for the things though so I can't help there
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.
it's a more accepting time, I don't judge
