I've had dreams where I've looked at or used televisions and computer monitors, including surreal actions passing through screens. Not often, but I can remember them.
But I'm pretty sure I've never dreamt of holding or using a mobile phone. This is strange to me, considering how often I use one in waking life.
Does anyone here dream of phones?
@aegir I love this.
I also have a lot of infrastructural dreams, especially train stations (including one recurring dream of a flashy futuristic one that I've had since I was a teen). More often, I'm in buildings with many corridors, very regularly with cracks and structural failings.
Lights without illumination are always nightmares for me.
I don't feel that screens badly interrupt my waking life though. I'm fairly productive. Definitely not a conscious thought, but maybe a subconscious one.

So many legal and policy experts blindly trust PhotoDNA as a useful tool to act on illegal content. It’s good to see technical experts deep dive into this!
“Our work demonstrates that 𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 is unreliable for the detection of illicit content: it is easy to incriminate someone by sending them false content with a hash value close to illicit content (a false positive) and to avoid detection of illicit content with minimal modifications to an image (a false negative)”White-Box Attacks on PhotoDNA Perceptual Hash Function

Saw the news that Jello Biafra had a stroke. Glad he's recovering well, at least. Everyone knows Dead Kennedys but if you haven't listened to Prairie Home Invasion, the album he did with Mojo Nixon, then you should change that! I didn't know about it for way too long.

Abortion bans reshaped reproductive health, and now the rental market
"The paper is part of a growing body of research showing how abortion bans are reshaping communities. Other studies have linked abortion bans to higher rates of poverty and higher property crime rates, and found that they may be driving young people to leave their home states. Surveys have shown that aspiring doctors — especially those training to OBGYNs — are less likely to choose residencies in states with abortion bans...
"But the paper’s findings suggest access to reproductive health care is influencing a meaningful share of people in the United States regarding where they want to live — especially renters, who have more mobility than homeowners. Rental prices declined more as time progressed, which suggests the trend may continue as long as states’ approaches to abortion continue to diverge."

New research found that abortion bans resulted in lower rental prices and higher vacancies.Shefali Luthra (19th News)

Catlang programming language idea: Rejoice
It's like Joy, but instead of a stack, it's a multiset, and transformations are local rewriting rules.
The program state is a bag of unordered things, transformations are represented as fractions where the denominator indicates things to remove from the bag, and the numerator, things to add. Evaluation consists of applying fractions from left to right, each to exhaustion, until the bag stabilizes.

Loved the depictions of the network family and the way the main character internalizes the data streams they use to make decisions. An optimistic vision of the future that highlights that issues we're working on now will still be relevant a hundred years from now. I totally fell for Rhamnetin too! Pleased to read the depictions of first contact from the physically intimate point of view.

in reply to Fionnáin • • •actually I just remembered now that I do sometimes dream about mobile phones, although I voted "no" in the poll...
Sometimes, usually when I am feeling stressed, I have dreams where I suddenly have to wade through water that is higher than my waist, and it's in those moments that I stress about accidentally bricking my phone, which is usually in my trouser pocket.
So yeah, I do dream about phones, but mostly about destroying them through stress-related negligence

in reply to simon • • •@simoon funny, there have been three comments about phones and all of them seem a little stressful – phones not working.
In these wading dreams, do you see the phone or is it more that your pocket is submerged and you expect there is a phone there?

in reply to Fionnáin • • •Not sure if I hoped to learn something from this or not, but with a smallish sample size, the answer 'yes, often' is still at 0%. That's a little interesting to me.
Phones are with me 90% of the time. I sleep with it beside me (switched off). I assume it's the same for most of us. That they are not often in our dreams seems relevant somehow.
