–Not exactly the glowing mushrooms you predicted.
–Fascinating! They look like explorers, just like us!
–It's rather rude talking about others as if they weren't there.
–Are you suggesting we try to communicate?
–Either that, or we just politely nod and move along.

EFF Teams Up With AV Comparatives to Test Android Stalkerware
EFF has, for many years, raised the alarm about the proliferation of stalkerware—commercially-available apps designed to be installed covertly on another person’s device to exfiltrate data from that

At the moment, I post my stories on Substack, but I keep coming back to the idea of self hosting a site instead.
I’m open to suggestions for a name though, I’m completely drawing a blank at the moment. 🤔

–How you intend to “take it down”, is a mystery to me, Reyes. This previously deactivated station AI should be directly connected to the mainframe and thus be able to access the entire Kepler, isn’t that right?

Distance
It's quiet. Empty. Like the life aboard was all shifted down to the planet. Walking the corridors of the NEA Constellation as the survey teams are planet side, is like being back to when she was newly constructed. There's a chance you might run into someone checking readings, but most likely you'll wander for an hour and not see a living soul.

Beach Day
The sky is blinding blue over the glistening sea. The desert rolled over dunes and skipped turning into a beach, having our vehicle get stuck halfway into the water. Onnimanni muttered a long phrase in Finnish and jumped into the surf to try to assess the damage. Noomi and I looked at each other. She gestured towards dry land and when I didn't move, she shrugged her shoulders and waded ashore.

Not Bluebells
The clearing is a perfect circle. We checked. It's actually a perfect circle. So it's clearly man made. Well, no. Not man made. Something else made. Unknown made. Alien made. But we're the aliens here. So I don't know what to call it. Artificial seems wrong too, because all the trees and the grass and the delicate blossoms are all natural.
