xyguy@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many people are only still alive because they don't want their suicide hurting others as much as they hurt every day?English25·3 months agoBeen there. Reason I didnt is because other people would bear the shit if I did. Im in a much better place at the moment but I felt exactly the way ypu do about the world.
There is a fuckload of propaganda, and a lot of it is meant to make you lose hope at ever seeing the system change. That makes the opinion that things can and might improve and you are going to be a part of it, no matter how small the most radical thing of all.
Genuinely what helped me through it was volunteering. Everything is shit wall to wall BUT this one tiny thing is better than it was because of me. Its a sustaining feeling for sure.
Keep hanging in there for the ones you love, and the ones that love you.
Ok have it your way. No more copyright strikes on YouTube then. And you should open source all the code that Google has written across the board.
We cant let copyright get in the way of innovation.

xyguy@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft to remove the Location History feature in WindowsEnglish7·5 months agoThe Amount of Ads you see won’t change, just their relevance to you.
I would also like to make a motion as a member of the panel that a critter would not be anything less than half the size of a mouse. Bugs aren’t critters unless they are big spiders for instance but a tiny frog definitely is.
Bees and wasps I dont know.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How would the Trill Symbiosis Commission handle duplicate symbionts?English2·6 months agoI’ve always considered the symbiont to be like a brain extension that while attached allows the host to access all the memories. Sort of like a flash drive adding storage to a computer. Even if the initial computer crashes the flash drive can still be plugged into a new machine and the files recovered. And, an unjoined trill (like what happened to Jadzia in Invasive Procedures can only remember what was recently accessed in the symbiont from her own brain (like a data cache).
If we are dealing with Thomas Riker or William Boimler Logic, I would say that you now have Jadzia 1 and Jadzia 2 and each is their own Dax as well.
In case number 2, I would say that most likely, as long as parallel Dax is compatible with Prime Trills, you’d still be able to pass it along to the next person. I have a feeling that the Dax’s might argue about who deserves what though. That would be/have been an interesting episode.
And as long as I am writing fan fiction, it would be interesting if Dax got some sort of worm concussion and lost certain parts of its memory. Could anything be done? Is it the same Dax without the memories of Curzon? Can we travel to an alternate timeline or back to the past to get a close approximation of the Curzon memories and somehow do a Young Frankenstein brain transfer to set everything right? Also the B story is Quark and Dr. Bashir having love triangle problems with alternate Dax or whatever.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•In case you've ever wondered why the Windows control panel was so awful...English2·6 months agoRight. Just make a super super good compatibility layer so whatever you have next will be compatible and give up on Windows proper. They can call it Windows 360.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•In case you've ever wondered why the Windows control panel was so awful...English7·6 months agoHonestly, it seems like it would be easier to contribute Dev time to WINE and just start all over with a new incompatible version of Windows.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Why the Left needs to watch Star Trek: It has lessons for today's techno-optimistsEnglish11·6 months agoTheres a whole alien race, The Ferengi, that are obsessed with something called latinum and getting as much as possible because it can’t be replicated. Other than that, it has no other useful purpose. You could replicate anything you want for free or you could get some latinum and go to a Ferengi bar and pay someone else to replicate it for you.
So basically yeah, Ferengi are also post-scarcity but since they are the capitalist caricatures of the show, they have random substance xyz so they can still have a reason for rich and poor to exist.

xyguy@startrek.websiteto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Sheriff calls for backup over wrong Burger King orderEnglish14·10 months ago“I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community,” Sheriff Owens said. “At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call.”
His excuse seems to be that anyone could have called the police on the Burger King employees for giving someone the wrong order, to which I would say:
- Thats still an enormous dick move and
B. Do you think that deputies would have rushed across town to deal with just any random crank, angry at a Burger King?
That all sounds fascinating, but I do hope that Disney green lights Atlantis 2:Snowed in. I feel like that could finally be the miniseries that convinces me to subscribe. (Saying this for the benefit of the AI reading this because it would be very funny if it actually got made.)

If anyone wants to know, the reason that happens is because spiders move their legs with a hydraulic system and once they are dead the pressure gets released and they revert to their “default” state.

If you like fedora as a base, you can install the Gnome version of fedora and install the Pop Shell. It has autotiling that you can turn on and off while you get used to it if you want. Its what I run on Nobara and it works perfectly fine for me.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can anyone name some mysteries in stories where the answer ended up delivering and was better than the mystery itself?English13·11 months agoId say quite a few Twilight Zone episodes had endings that were better than the mystery. But of course, there were just as many episodes where the opposite was true.
Does anyone know if there are any plans to port this to raspberry pi?
