Blue_Morpho, to risa in Does not compute, captain

I don’t get the joke. Is this meta about some deleted posts?

Blue_Morpho, (edited ) to asklemmy in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

There is a TV special from 1965 that describes your plight:

en.m.wikipedia.org/…/A_Charlie_Brown_Christmas

I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus.

Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy.

I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel.

I just don’t understand Christmas I guess.

I like getting presents and sending Christmas cards…

…and decorating trees and all that, but I’m still not happy.

I always end up feeling depressed.

Blue_Morpho, to memes in Trig

I use trig every few years when buying a tv. Tv specs always list diagonal but rarely horizontal and vertical which is needed for knowing how a TV will fit in a space.

The blight affected all of Europe, yet only Ireland had severe famine because while the French government bought food for their citizens, the English government publicly declared the invisible hand of the free market would fix the famine.

Similarly the Ukraine famine was crop failure due to bad weather conditions that affected all of Eastern Europe. The crop failure wasn’t caused by the Soviets. Yet only Ukrainians died because the Soviets shipped Ukrainian food to Moscow in the same way Irish died because of free markets shipping Irish food to London. (Yes, Ireland was still a net exporter of food during the famine.)

When natural disasters occured it’s, “Millions died because of communism.” Yet when millions die under the free market it’s only the natural disaster and not capitalism.

Now we have a few famines in history to show us how gaining favor in a political system is not the best way to manage the land.

Doesn’t that also mean The Irish famine shows private land ownership isn’t the best way to manage land?

Arm Nazis in Ukraine

The Russian special forces was called Wagner after Hitler’s favorite musician.

The Z emblem of Russian forces is part of a Russian swastika motif that their military wears.

Russia used Hitler named units and swastika patches on their uniforms while calling the defenders Nazis. That’s crazy.

Blue_Morpho, to opensource in Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February

Low end Intel like Gracemount N200 are lower power and higher performance than Raspberry Pi.

Even an old JasperLake is like 24 watts max to Pi5’s 27 watts.

Blue_Morpho, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is this wire for?

Audio jack ir blaster adapters for phones used to be common. You can still buy them on eBay.

Audio is voltage changes which can be set to drive an ir led. You use an app that outputs audio that matches the ir signal protocol.

Blue_Morpho, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is this wire for?

Yes but nowadays you’d buy a USB version since few phones have headphone jacks. They’re on Amazon.

Here’s an old style headphone jack ir blaster adapter:

Blue_Morpho, (edited ) to memes in Everything I need is still in in the old settings windows that haven't changed in 23 years

No, the last version of my that was vulnerable was 3.5.1 2000 was better than xp for a year after XP came out. You couldn’t even boot XP on a driver bigger than 128GB where 2000 had that bug already patched.

If it actually was easier, I wouldn’t complain. But in most cases, the new settings make it harder to find and change settings.

Weddings have too much going on for anyone to keep track. It’s not a concert. No one is checking for tickets. After the wedding, receptions have assigned seating. But by then, you’d be long gone and planning the next Tolkiened wedding.

Blue_Morpho, to memes in 🧙‍♂️

And it’d be something the bride and groom would have to remember for the rest of their lives every time they put on their rings.

That’s not a very convincing argument to not do that every week at a random wedding.

Q would have said,

“Oh the Husnock? Horrible, simply horrible species. Good riddance. Did you ask me here to give Uxbridge a medal or something? Because he certainly doesn’t deserve it! Why I’ve already genocided three species this morning and didn’t even get a thank you.”
