  • What do you think they saw?

  • "I'm not trying to replicate babies anymore." - The Improvised Star Trek

  • Can we think of way to automatically filter softcore sexy communities similarly to the nsfw tag?

    Jump

  • I have many communities blocked because I simply don't have any interest in them.

    Lol. Yeah. I'm glad that perhaps every local sports team has a dedicated feed, but I still block them so I can browse all for interesting stuff more easily.

  • That would save a lot of time...

  • I still miss my Pebble. If I had realized that Gadget bridge would get so good, I would have held onto my Pebble.

  • As someone comfortably in that top 10% and unfathomably infinitely outside the billionaire club, I hope you know I'm on your side, and I do care.

    Annecdotaly, the majority of my peers are as well.

    Our complacency is a huge part of the problem.

    But for what it's worth, we're increasingly waking up to the fact that we're also quite fucked by what the billionaires are up to, in the long run.

  • Are there any episode plots that bug anyone? Here's one that got me...

    Jump

  • When I read your comment, "Huh. If it was that bad, you'd think I would remember it."

    When I finished the thread.

    "Wait? Are we not talking about Warp 10 Child Abandonment?"

    And a quick search later: Threshold

    Right. The less said, the better, I suppose.

    But we all agree it probably wins this whole thread, right? Lol.

  • So I suppose we can say the general storytelling rule across all of fiction is "There is only one of any character, unless there is a interesting plot reason for there to be more."

    Yep. That's definitely why. And they made the right call. A lot of media does it, and usually I can just ignore it.

    But having a full plotline of "I'm getting my file back" was just too much for my immersion. Lol.

    I wish they would have cut away and handwaved over getting him back.

    And let's not even get me started on how the return trip could have been just the diff files for a few days of experiencs, and so should have been orders of magnitude easier than the original transfer. Lol.

  • A little. I had a pebble until the company got bought and killed.

    I want to see enough people buy a PineTime that they succeed, so I can get another one when my current one dies.

  • I had a ton of trouble with that when I first got it, but now it's fantastic.

    There's been some (very recent) patches to InfinityOS and maybe one to Gadget bridge that helped a lot. Lately it's been great.

    If it's still running a version before like 1.18(?), try to get it to update itself, and it may get a lot better.

  • I had the same problem until I got a PineTime watch. Now I can use the navigation buttons on the watch face to skip ads (safely and responsibly, of course).

  • Yeah. I always hand the other person my quarter, when we do this hand off.

  • Paramount Is Rolling Back DEI Initiatives, According to Memo From Its Openly Gay CEOs

    Jump

  • Misleading headline. The memo snippet in the article is corporate speak that amounts to "we will stop doing what the law no longer requires us to do."

    Still shitty, but not it's not quite the usual "billionaire fires anyone who doesn't look like him" crap.

  • On screen Unicode keyboard for windows?

    Jump

  • There's better answers, and I've used some of them.

    But I always return to just keeping a text file open with the Unicode symbols I need.

    A step up from there is setting up text macros in my text editor. When I was favoring VSCodium, I pretty much copied my text file into the JSON config, added some shortcut names, and started using it.

    I'm learning more about custom keyboard firmware now, and hope to have a dedicated virtual keyboard layer for fancy symbols and ASCII art, at some point in the future.

    But in a pinch, I just end up with a text file to copy and paste from.

  • Yeah. People hear the word "billionaire", but cannot fathom how much their own life would improve if the billionaires captured wealth was out in the world working for them, instead of working against them.

    If they remembered when Amazon was still courting new users, because it still had competition, well it's like that.

  • Another word is needed

    The target is well regulated free trade.

    It's good to be angry at capitalism, because capitalism holds unchecked capital acquisition as a foundational right. We know that doesn't work in a globally connected world, if it ever worked.

    Notice that there's no right to accommodate infinite capital in the phrase I used. And there's also no complete ban on private property.

    The things that work are usually not any of the crap spouted by vocal greedy world leaders.

    We need to clip the right that capitalism gives to become billionaire, and then see where we stand on the rest of the rules, and decide together what we want to change.

    We're likely to find a lot more confortable compromises, after the billionaires thumbs are off the scales.

  • This is a great topic!

    There's a multipart Voyager series where they manage to email the holographic doctor back to Starfleet to check in. It's fantastic overall. But at the end there's a nail biting plotline where they send the doctor back.

    1. That's not how file copying works.
    2. Even accepting some plot nonsense reason it needed done, it would still just be a bored and tired ensign waiting on the file copy and pressing "retry" if it didn't work.

  • Yeah. It bothers me that they haven't revisited that, too.

  • Big-tech is evil but could Fediverse benefit from more small/medium for-profit companies?

  • Open source projects aren't doomed to lousy UX forever.

    Just look at recent releases of Gnome and KDE. We can have nice things, it just takes time.

  • You've nailed it. That's the key bit that organizations of all kinds are going to figure out.
