@futurebird There is a place that fixes phones not far from where I live. Replacing screens, batteries and even broken charging ports is their bread and butter. No acerbic old guy there though, maybe a couple of young Persian guys. But they will smile and say "again?" when you manage to crack the screen less than a month after they replaced it!
@HumanServitor @glitzersachen True, but it takes work to match those faces to identities. This app would make a very robust and consistent data set in a way that other sources would not. It makes it much easier. Seem silly to be so helpful.
Could a computer network provide a way for collective dreaming? Could computer networks be the essential tool of the next level of colony intelligence?The ants will use the internet to dream. That is what I'm working on in the story today. 2/2
@lffontenelle I'm not saying it's bad. I was curious and read everything I could find about it and the results are deeply mixed. What it isn't is a solution. It's something that might help. For some people more than others. And it's not incidental or meaningless that it helped me to get through the long healing period by being something I could "do" ... the real cure being slow boring PT and time.
@futurebird actually it amazes me that road building isn't a major part of ant ecology. Or maybe it is and they just get called "pheromone trails" for traditional reasons.
