Turtle shells are already on the inside. The entire surface of their shells is skin!

I started watching Enterprise recently feeling the same way you do, and it’s honestly not that bad. The way they talk to each other and the overall vibe is VERY Next Gen, and it’s interesting how they’re 100ish years in the future while TOS is 200 years in the future, so their technology and even uniforms look almost exactly halfway between our tech and stuff and what we see in “traditional” Trek. The theme song though is definitely whack

It’s not about having accurate dates, it’s about how unix time is used in programming. For some systems that reference unix time for essential calculations, that value rolling over and overflowing would cause catastrophic problems

I have over 20 gnome extensions and I haven’t seen an update break one in the past year I have been running Fedora. Even the Fedora 40-41 upgrade gave me no issues

Why does that surprise you? It’s the reasoning almost every homophobe gives

Coke never has the water button on it though

The Oracle games also open with Link riding his horse back to Hyrule castle, which doesn’t really make sense as a follow-up to LA, but alas

I’m still upset with the official timeline because of how they put Link’s Awakening as happening before Oracle of Ages/Seasons, when it CLEARLY happens AFTER the Oracle games! Link’s Awakening opens with him on a boat in a storm in the middle of the ocean, and if you do the special linked ending of the Oracle games the story ends with Link getting on a boat in the ocean sailing towards a storm. Get it together Nintendo!

There are also people who gasp DON’T like working from home

Notice how the Japanese media frames the whole thing as the “wartime labor issue” to further try to distance themselves from their atrocities

This product is not for you, individual consumer. This is for corporations who don’t want the overhead of managing individual PCs and everything that can go wrong with them, instead relying on virtual workspaces and roaming user profiles.

Soldiers knocking down doors to arrest millions of illegal aliens and everyone who looks like an illegal alien and shoving them into camps, what could go wrong?

72 hours, insomnia. They first put me on benzos, then trazodone, then finally Lunesta was able to get my brain working fully again. The benzos were interesting because I didn’t really feel like I slept when I was on it? Like it just erased my memory of the sleepless night

but going much slower for no reason could get you pulled over

I feel like this is something everyone says but how often does this actually happen? Not often I’d guess, unless the police officer is bored, or it’s at an hour where they’re out looking for drunk drivers anyway

Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity

Because how else would we feel superior?

Given the crossover of people displaying “thin blue line” flags with those showing “thin red line” flags (which is stupid, who is against the fire department??), and with their success in harassing corporations into dropping DEI initiatives, I wouldn’t put it past right-wing crazies to try bullying their fire departments into ignoring incidents for their progressive neighbors

I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance

I think it’s easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say “I want to move to X country” but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it’s really not that hard

Sorry to go all doom and gloom, but I have this sinking feeling that despite their best efforts, progressive US states will be unable to prevent LGBT people from being rounded up after the Holocaust machine is done with the illegal immigrants. The window is closing
