IMO, Severance is even weirder.

On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn’t nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.

I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I’ve had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

I also use Debian, not Gentoo…

Netflix categorizes them that way…

Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I’m not being told about a meeting to take a print.

Well, my local mail service often has less lag than Teams…

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

Screen off!!! Screen off!!!

Eh…

Most of Brazil calls it “abacaxi”. And by “most”, I mean almost all of it, and the exception is there because of recent immigrants bringing the other name.

Almost always for the worse. Possibly always.

A war going on changes everything, doesn’t it?

Anyway, the people they were sharing with weren’t naive societies that didn’t know there was life elsewhere on the galaxy. For those ones, they just presented themselves, warned about their enemies, and moved on trying to make the minimum possible impact.

Star Trek is so full of those horrible interfaces that you aren’t actually expected to use. I really like (or dislike? I duno) the ejection mechanism of the ships outer plating, that not only require a lot of meaningless movement, but also expect two people to do it at the same time.

The worse thing is, I can really imagine people making something like this.

AFAIK, the first one was written in LISP.

The one most people push around here was written in Rust. It’s a really great language to write memory managers anyway.

They lie all the time.

we just don’t get to know when it’s happening. People that trust those guys go with a “this is too horrible, so they must be lying” heuristic, that has been proven not to work several times. The problem is that an heuristic is not supposed to be reliable, and it’s hard to make them see beyond the noise.

I’m still trying to imagine how a ray can run…

Weirdly, it depends on how honest Trump is.

If he forgets about everything he talked at any part of the campaign, and just decide to maximize his tranquility during his term, not as bad as if he decides to keep his promises.

I remember that DS9’s 2024 being “democratic” (as in, working citizens voted).

The GP is not describing a piezoelectric scale. And you won’t be able to find any piezoelectric scale that is anything similar to “cheap”.

One by one everyone enters the crush room making everything worse for themselves and everyone else.

And they know it’s their fault. And they know there’s an entire room, almost empty, just after that door. And they know they could be in it if they just acted “smarter” (AKA, non-humanely).

The entire thing is horrible.
