He’s been a libertarian douchebag as long as he’s been a public figure.

Facebook paid kids $20 a month to run this app: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/30/18203803/facebook-research-vpn-minors-data-access-apple

These kids most likely didn’t see it as a VPN at all

@nifty I have nothing against Ruby and think it’s a nice flexible language. At the peak of RoR though, all the asshats were all over Ruby.

My problem with Ruby wasn’t even RoR, it was with the way the asshats valued creativity “cleverness” which seemed to mean writing code in the most cryptic ways possible. These folks took what should be an expressive language and wrote scripts that rivaled Perl’s worst “read once and never again” scripts.

This is the game I play on my Steamdeck the most. Great for five minutes or 45. I’m at ascension 14 or so.

Is that not what Matrix is? I haven’t been to really understand Matrix so maybe I’m wrong.

Jadzia Dax’s death had the total lack of dignity that I associate with Rick Berman. She didn’t just die suddenly and rather pointlessly. She twitched for a bit while the camera lingered. I really can’t stand this man.

1. There will be scores of people looking for evidence this new device is doing something Apple has not disclosed. This is how security researchers make a name for themselves.

2. The engineers on the team building this product will not want to be associated with building something nefarious. These engineers are just regular people. You can find them online and speak with them. They look for jobs at other firms just like we all do. Unless they are being paid so well that they won’t ever have to work again, they can’t ruin their reputations.

3. If you really believe what this post is purporting, I’ll remind you that you are most likely carrying a device with you every day that has a microphone and internet access. If you aren’t, you are still surrounded by people who are.

The claims this post is making will simply make people tune out or ignore real security concerns.

It’s can be “it has”. “Its” is possessive.

That is how o choose to interpret IDIC

@Klanky I loved every bit of that except for Rick Berman’s name.

I’d be happy if the show could be redone with modern technology. The CGI that was cutting edge when B5 first aired now looks very dated and I think it’s hard for younger prospective fans to get into the visuals.

Are the Rest of Lemmy guys there playing 3D checkers?

Since people don’t seem to know Bongo Comics, I’d like to point out Radioactive Man

It’s a great comic.

Does this mean I can reasonably expect to buy a Chromebook and install vanilla Linux without huge headaches?

There’s always been Linux distros that targeted Mac hardware. There’s got to be something like that for chromebooks, right?

@mike591 this is the guy who showed the world that Russia’s military is a joke, right? I’m not sure anyone takes this guy seriously

@JWBananas

This is a super useful clip. Voyager is one of the shows I’ve retained least well and I couldn’t remember who this holodeck character was supposed to be

@HWK_290

Be careful about praising The Orville the way you are to people who remember TNG very fondly. It apes TNG very closely but also has more than its fair share of Mcfarlane’s Family Guy humor which isn’t for everyone and definitely doesn’t jibe with Trek.

The episode where we first meet the Krill has Lt. Malloy laughing maniacally and constantly at the fact that the Krill’s god is named Avis. This just isn’t that funny and breaks immersion.

McFarlane himself admits this episode was very juvenile and the show gets quite a bit better once he decides to stop going after Family Guy style jokes. Many people won’t watch enough episodes to see the show is worth a chance.
