  • Uncle Benned, or Obi Wan Kenobi Benned? 🤔

  • Let's just say that his forehead was smooth when they started

  • I don't know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they're better than the equivalents.

    I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I've heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)

  • I think I sat next to him on the bus once

  • The Zerg lady looks like someone who was fused with a spider in a transporter accident. She'd be split into her base creatures before Janeway's coffee got cold

  • Captain: 'Lieutenant! Why hasn't the saucer separation sequence begun?'

    Boimler: 'Sorry sir, I can't find the separation playlist'

  • Well, it's better than letting the tiny particles of shit float through your home until the smell disperses

  • I didn't say that it was being used to represent anyone, or that it was being stolen, I said that it was already in use. To use your examples, I'd think that using Pi or the degree symbol to represent the fediverse would be a bad idea too, as they could also lead to confusion. The semicolon is punctuation, so there's less chance of confusion with that.

    If an astronomy group made a poster with the three stars, would the stars be representing star clusters, or advertising that they're on the fediverse? Given that the fediverse is still relatively small, is there more chance of the stars being seen as an astronomical symbol?

  • I'm going to blow your mind - bathroom doors can be closed 🤯

  • Am I misunderstanding this - you want to replace a recognised symbol with a symbol that's already being used by another group? That seems counterproductive at best.

    I'm also wondering, have you spoken to anyone with poor eyesight? This is my reply to a comment below suggesting that the new symbol would be easier to read:

    I'm reading this thread on mobile, and the fediverse logo next to the community name is much easier to see than the three stars. If I didn't already know what the three stars were from the rest of the post, I wouldn't have a clue what they were supposed to be in the body. They look like a blurry capital A. Obviously the fediverse logo is bigger there, which helps, but it's not significantly bigger, and would still be clearer at a smaller size

  • Strange New Worlds has painted itself somewhat into a corner by being a prequel.

    It's a great series, but if Spock and Uhura are in trouble, and the only way to save them is for that nice James Kirk fella to sacrifice himself, well, we know that there's a twist coming.

  • Oh, no, one of the guys took great pleasure in taking the disc out and handing it to the customer in front of everyone :D

  • I witnessed something like this once. I worked for a pawn shop, wiping and reinstalling Windows on computers they were selling, but occasionally working on one of the counters if they were short staffed.

    One day a regular customer brought his PS2 in to trade, so it had to be tested first. The manager took it as a training moment for me and and a few others, and connected it to the main TVs around the store so that we could all see how he checked the system.

    The customer had left a rather hardcore DVD in the drive and completely forgotten about it, until it started playing on the big screen, and everyone in the store learned about his preferences.

  • Or I could let them know that the bot has a problem, and hopefully stop the issue from happening in the future.

    Ignoring an issue because you want to be nice doesn't help anyone.

  • What difference would that make to a bot that cuts off an important part of the story?

  • Bad bot

    In a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice sent to GitHub, Mazda (or an authorized agent) alleges that Rothweiler's integration:

    Alleges that Rothweiler's integration what? You've cut off an important part of the story.
