Before reading the post body, I was trying to think if I’d ever seen apple orange juice, because I thought it was a weird juice combo thing… like the joke that apple marketing is fantastic because it’s in every other juice.
So genuinely thanks for the explanation lol
Did they ever identify species 8469 that the borg are afraid of (I think that’s the number, didn’t look it up)?
I guess that’s maybe one thing they could do with it, if not…
Tho daleks don’t seem like a species the borg would fear, tbh…
But why though? What would this add to anything?
Does something like this make him a fraudulent magician?
I would think so if I ever found out the amazing tricks I watched were just rfid triggers… just me?
I’ve basically warned the people who use it that if they enshittify further I won’t be doing anything to try to maintain it.
I gave them a PSA not to get a subscription, because I got a lifetime pass ages ago, but if they do much else I’m out. I’ll maybe, depending on the changes, keep hosting it in case they want to keep using it, but I won’t maintain it properly (it auto-adds stuff from my folders, ofc, so that’ll still happen, but I won’t fix any mismatches and stuff). I’ve already stopped giving new people access to it, as the writing is on the wall.
I’m in the process of setting up jellyfin, but I have zero intention of making that available to anyone other than my partner (in IT, and already has access to my home VPN) because I’ve read how risky that is, and how you need to VPN them back to it or some shit and I’m just not willing to do any of that. Too risky and too much work cuz I don’t have a clue what I’m doing.
I’d love a middle ground, but I’m not sure I’m willing to pay for another closed-source platform, and Idk if any open source platforms are ever going to be particularly good for remote sharing for non-techie users.
At least the 4 dinners aren’t empty calories, so there’s that. They actually contain stuff that’s good for you. So not really a wash. Plus excess eating doesn’t damage your body to nearly the same degree as a similar number of calories in alcohol form, you can just exercise it away, or shift eating habits to account for it.
Yeah, why do other countries get to have all the fun government brawls?
Same problem here. Unfortunately the only good solution is to wait until they are done and watch then.
They used sensors to detect particle energy, which is what temperature measures, when they impacted. There are so very few particles out there that no significant heat transfer actually took place, despite the particles themselves having huge amounts of energy.
They both went directly through it. It envelopes the entire solar system as far as we know.
Well shit now I want to know if quantum computers have operating systems…
And it looks like as of earlier this year the answer to that… is yes. Special ones. Well, special one so far.
Quantum internet seems like a really bad idea, though, if the regular internet is any indication…
Oh, here I thought they actually made it! That didn’t happen? :p
It’s kinda beautiful to watch.
I hope it matters. Probably won’t, but maybe. Stranger things have happened…
It isn’t .world. I’m on piefed.social I show your first message with removed and a couple comments down I see the actual word, so it’s something on .ml
Honestly, about time.
The scaled-up child/scaled-down man dummy that’s been used for ages is not a good representation of female anatomy.
Hope it goes into use.
I wonder how many people that actually works on…
looks like 2000-2001
It’s… compelling in a really bad B-movie sort of way. Like the idea is great, and some of the scene design and concept is really cool, but it’s genuinely hard to watch in a lot of places between the acting (Cleo herself has a screaming habit, at least early on - I don’t recall if she grew out of it, and is dumb as shit imo) and that it’s clearly meant to be a sex-appeal-hook. Basically fishing for Xena fan crossover, but done so poorly it basically flopped.
Fun to watch, but don’t expect too much :)
In my area, which is a fairly low cost of living area, I know exactly one couple who do that. They have their home and apartments where they work.
They are literally millionaires, and their primary home is literally a mansion. As in just sold a ski condo a couple years ago, one of several properties they own, for 10 million profit kind of millionaires. (And yes they do bitch about taxes and safety net programs for the poors. Frequently.)
A lot of people around me do have “winter homes” in the south or “lake houses” further north, but that’s seasonal/occasional rather than something they use every week, and it’s mostly retired people who got money and residences when that was an easy thing to do. And most of them rent out the space when not in use.
Only thing I can think of reading this is the Cleopatra 2525 intro theme
And the satirical futurama reference
Of all the things to be annoyed about in this pic, I think the thing that gets me the most is that you still have to remove some of the husk. The whole point is to do less work? Too bad, do it anyway.
It’s like they thought it would be corn lingerie “no no, make sure you leave some of the husk on to enhance the sexiness! See, just show the cleavage in front here.”
Similarly, granular audio options that separate dialogue from ambient from music from system sounds. Definitely don’t need my ears blown out just to hear dialogue.
I like having the background music very low, but not off, system sounds a bit above that, sound effects higher than system but lower than dialogue, which is maxed. And of course ambient sound levels really depend on the game and what kind of ambiance it has.
Same thing with granular contrast/gamma/etc. Don’t just provide a few preset options, especially if they can only be set before you start the game (also they should never only be set from the main menu, never). Let the player choose whatever they want on the fly. I love playing with everything bright so I can see wtf I’m doing, I don’t give half a shit if the devs think it should be so dark it’s not navigable. I disagree.
