John Scalzi: For the new release of the Pixel 10 Pro (and the 10 Pro XL, which is mostly the same phone, just larger), Google has introduced something called the “Pro-Res Zoom,” a process by which, once you zoom in with the camera over about 30x zoom, after you’ve snapped the photo, Google will run it through an “AI” processor, not to bring out the details that are actually there, but to make up details that seem reasonable to assume are there, based on whatever processing algorithm...| Six Colors

The read-it-later service Pocket has shut down, and with it went its integration with Kobo e-readers. Fortunately, earlier this summer Kobo owner Rakuten announced that Instapaper would replace Pocket as its new read-it-later service of choice. As of today, that support is live. After a Kobo software update and a quick trip to a special URL to link a Kobo to an Instapaper account, the system works just like the old Pocket integration did.

John Voorhees of MacStories has a review of Tot 2.0, the simple Mac/iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch notes app by The Iconfactory: My favorite 2.0 feature is that Tot now supports automatic indenting. If you indent a line using the Tab key, the next line will begin at the same indentation level when you hit Return. That makes creating hierarchical lists a lot faster than before. My only quibble with the feature is that if you’re making a bulleted list, to indent a line, you need to first back up and...| Six Colors
John McCoy (host of the Sophomore Lit podcast on The Incomparable!) used the recent kerfuffle over the Cracker Barrel rebranding (if you don’t know, he covered it in his post) to discuss a trend in corporate branding: Just because I doubt that these choices were motivated by politics doesn’t mean the detractors don’t have a point: something basic is being lost here. In both cases the companies have discarded character and context in an effort to streamline their identity. I have written...| Six Colors
Fantastic article by Lucasfilm historian, the appropriately named Lucas O. Seastrom, on creating an extremely detailed Star Wars-themed lounge at ILM: An entirely original piece in the Hideout was an industrial-style fan in the ceiling, an idea that dated all the way back to Field’s original safehouse concept. “I really wanted to make sure that something was moving,” says DeBaun. “Most everything in the room is still, except for the fan.” Using a fan acquired by Hirschfield and a co...| Six Colors

I do love it when I reference Dr. Drang on Upgrade and he responds with an entire blog post: As Jason said on the show, he’d probably need a kayak that’s a bit bigger and more stable than mine because of the choppier water he’d encounter in his bay. While I’ve been out on windy spring days when the waves were a foot high and had whitecaps—yes, even on the relatively small lakes around here—it’s unusual for me to see much chop.

At the MIT Technology Review, my old colleague Mat Honan has a great piece about the simultaneous promise and overpromise of AI: In some ways, the AI hype cycle has to be out of hand. It has to justify the ferocious level of investment, the uncountable billions of dollars in sunk costs. The massive data center buildouts with their massive environmental consequences created at massive expense that are seemingly keeping the economy afloat and threatening to crash it. There is so, so, so much mo...| Six Colors

My longtime colleague Harry McCracken has a new piece about the future of the iPad at Fast Company that is definitely worth your consideration: As someone who’s used an iPad as my main computer for almost 14 years, I can’t join the chorus of unbridled enthusiasm for iPadOS 26’s embrace of Mac conventions such as floating, overlapping windows and a menu bar at the top of the screen.

The Verge’s Victoria Song dives into the “antioxidant sensor” on Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 with some surprising (or not) results: I colored my thumb with a yellow-orange marker. Wouldn’t you know it? My Antioxidant Index shot up to 100. Next, I colored it with a blue marker. My score dropped to zero. Unfortunately, my color-based hypothesis was foiled by a piece of roasted broccoli. It, too, scored 100 and is, in fact, rich in carotenoids. Perhaps the blackberry had failed because, w...| Six Colors

Two Years on from the UN Report on Freedom of Religion or Belief and Indigenous Peoples| Doctrine of Discovery Project
Abstract Remarks delivered at the forum “Freedom of Religion or Belief for Indigenous Peoples: The 2022 UN Report,” at the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary on October 26, 2022. This forum discussed human rights questions, including alternative approaches for improving the effective enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms.| Doctrine of Discovery Project
Abstract This succinct essay addresses the issue of freedom of religion for Indigenous cultures. Freedom of belief cannot subsist without justice, i.e. equal recognition. By ignoring the intellectual achievements of Indigenous and other non-Western philosophies and non-Christian religions, scholarship (in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in interrelated education in schools, colleges, and universities) constitutes an important reason for the depreciation of freedom of religious ...| Doctrine of Discovery Project
Abstract In this essay, we will argue that firstly, the international and national legal framings of religion or belief are limited in scope, and one must ask not only religious freedom for whom but also from whom. Secondly, we will underscore the continued limitations of international human rights-based discourse. Why are Indigenous nations consistently excluded from rights-based discourses? We have the UN Declaration on Human Rights (UNDHR), the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous...| Doctrine of Discovery Project
Abstract This article takes as its point of departure the 2022 Interim Report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, entitled “Indigenous Peoples and the Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief.” The report recommends “collaborat[ing] with indigenous spiritual leaders and influencers to support conservation efforts and the sustainable development of traditional lands through a human rights-based approach.” We ask what a human-rights-based approach...| Doctrine of Discovery Project
