ChromeOS will soon be developed on large portions of the Android stack - The massively refactored ChromeOS will be based on the Android Linux kernel and Android frameworks, and will enable improved security, faster development of new AI features and better interop of different devices like phones with Chromebooks. Sounds awesome, especially the interop. That in my experience has always been where Android has performed very poorly. It will take a while to get there, but they will provide seemless transition when it's ready. blog.chromium.org #

A tin foil hat wearer could be forgiven for thinking that such a thing would align with a world where AI tech puts millions of people out of work. Maybe time to invest in nuclear energy companies. Pains me to say it but that’s realistically the only thing that will loosen Russia‘s grip on the west. theguardian.com #
French leftwing parties form ‘Popular Front’ to contest snap election - I have to say the name of the combined party had me thinking of the classic Popular Front sketch from Monty Python's Life of Brian. In any case French politics is definitely heating up. Might be quite interesting. theguardian.com #
