I keep thinking a puffer fish would not survive for long in aquarium like that. Hopefully that is saltwater and that's not a gold fish as they are fresh water fish.

Agreed the track pads are far more than a pointing device. Creating virtual onscreen menus with mode shift was a Game changer. It needs to fully support steam input. I don't need to relearn my controls becase I'm going from portable to docked mode.

Because powerful people turned politics from a policy / representation in to politics as an identity. People will almost anything for their two minutes of hate.

This a good thought, but I think that's how you get the T virus.

I think what people forget as in the nu trek writing staff is something Ronald D Moore said about writing for TNG. Star Trek was one of the few shows that where they could do all the genres in a single season. One day it would be a western the next it can be a medical drama. The next a courtroom drama.

Most of the new shows it's the same story every season. There is a MacGuffin, the crew does a scavenger hunt to find said MacGuffin and that MacGuffin saves the universe.

TNG season 1 is a good start its rough around the edges and if it starts to look like the movie "Coming to America" go ahead and skip that episode. Just watch knowing it's going to get better like Park and Rec but it sets up a lot of storylines that will pay off later and some classic episodes that people forget are season 1 like "Datalore".

 

Im looking for the internet equivalent of screaming into the void when stress gets to great and you are about to pop.

If you think about it and want to be cynical and game the system intentionally not making white men the protagonist. Will piss off right wingers. They boycot it and create a bunch of press then everyone else rush to your defense and you sell even more copies.

+1 on just sub view. I have two accounts one that has news and politics and one that has none and on my non politics account I see almost none of it other than the stay comment in another sub and because I have the two accounts if it becomes a problem i have no issue just blocking that person. Since I can see their content on the other account.

Can we all just agree that Dude is a gender agnostic term and doesn't just refer to men. It's what Bill and Ted would have wanted.

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, might have breathed in too many soap fumes.

Token Ring sends the packets to every node by passing it from one node and if that node is not the recipient it passes it on to the next node.

Memos were created the day before with a list of recipients then it was passed around till everyone on the list had read it.

 
  1. Never realize it takes place over labor day weekend until today. It hits even harder knowing that.
  2. It kind of makes me sad not knowing how the original Bell got acess to the Net without jadzia's help. That makes me think he couldn't and It was a predestination paradox and the implication is humanity couldn't put us on a path to the world of star trek on our own and we needing star fleet to push the scales. Explains a lot for our timeline.
  3. 1995 Me: Getting the voices on the Net would fix things for sure. 2024 Me: There would be a misinformation campaign to drown out those voices and used by grifters to make a quick buck off the cause. Most would just swipe to the next youtube short/reelz/TikTok video.

Yeah i made myself sad

 

So i did my update today. Due to plasmashell being broken for me right now. I had to roll back, thank you Timeshift. So it got me wondering what day of the week works best for you all to update?
