In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

Still no active weaponry controlled autonomously, so no killer robots here. Just robots that can patrol and alert people when they see something that might need killing.

They can also do the aiming, which is helpful if it's a drone whizzing around. The operator just pulls the trigger.

It's a big development, and will have a lot to say about how 21st century warfare works, but if you were expecting Terminator you'll be relieved.
