Right, last #Hackster round-up of the week and then I'm off to enjoy the rare sunshine I can see out of the shed window.

First up is... well, nothing short of incredible. A working Game Boy Color... in a smartwatch form factor.

"That's easy," you cry, "emulate it on a microcontroller." Nope: this uses the original CPU and RAM, it's an honest-to-goodness clone. And has swappable carts. Physical carts. Yeah.

Do you like books? Do you like stones? Small islands? Stories? You'll love this book!

My book!

You can find it in the Orcadian Bookshop or their online shop!

I love "ugh the robot was trained on my art" posts. I've found so many skilled human artists that way.

He’s only been with us for a week but has settled in seamlessly, such a happy, well-behaved little chap

I just saw the most amazingly corporate expression of "we did what the bosses wanted us to do, even though the research didn't support that." The actual phrase was:

The research employed a methodology that prioritized stakeholder voice over researcher interpretation.

I wonder if a data scientist slipped that in to make it clear to other folks how this happened. You don't have to write stuff like this if the boss wants to do what the research says is a good idea. You only have to write this if the research says one thing and the boss says another.

There’s been a fucking Cybertruck parked in front of my house for five days. So annoying.

@mattround have you found Madonna’s grave? 😆

Been playing around with Friend on a swing. Might try and send them somewhere mellow for a soothing swing each week.

I was invited to Mastodon on Facebook, by a handsome werewolf. Now I pretty much live on Mastodon, and rarely post anything to Facebook.

Encourage people on other platforms to join us. It can be a life-changing experience for them.

People keep sharing an image of a bird with a drop of water bursting on its head like a crown. It's AI, but people share it in good faith, believing it’s an amazing photo by a human of a real bird in a real moment of time. Meanwhile, humans who have taken amazing photos of real birds captured in real moments of time, like a hummingbird in ballet with a butterfly, get questioned in good faith by people who are tired of being cheated by AI-deceit. The way AI has broken social trust is distressing.

@stavvers Related game: pretend like you believe those “thin blue line” Blue Lives Matter flags are some sort of “supporting trans cops” flags.
