acockworkorange,

Are you saying all those vitiligo penises in porn are actually just circumcised?

acockworkorange,

Didn’t they try to call it Windows X at the time?

acockworkorange,

I don’t even want to know the price. I bought myself a new monitor for Christmas and I doubt it has that.

acockworkorange,

My point is there’s no required savvyness like it used to a couple decades ago.

A corporation is arguably best positioned to make the transition. The one I work at has all their administrative systems as cloud apps. The few production systems that run native can be run in a Citrix or RDP environment. Even now, with user stations running Windows, these systems are accessed through RDP for… reasons anyway.

acockworkorange,

No way I’m going through childhood again. Mine sucked.

acockworkorange,

The are no forced updates ever, no forced restarts, and by golly no multiple restarts.

acockworkorange,

Thing is I’ve only seen their cheap and really crappy line.

acockworkorange,

You have a weird way of getting to it, seeing as you compared the two right out of the door.

acockworkorange,

Snapshots changed my life. And I don’t exactly demand ultra reliability for my home PC. Thanks for the feedback!

acockworkorange,

What about bcachefs excites you? Like, what does it offer that ext4, Btrfs and zfs don’t?

acockworkorange,

OpenSUSE does this as default, which is laudable. Mint will only use Btrfs if you manually tell it to, it just handles it gracefully once you do choose to use it.

acockworkorange,

You can tell that that’s what his mom told him so he’d be interested in eating his lunch and I love it.

acockworkorange,

I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it.

Fuck. What the hell.

I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.

Ironically I think this makes his the most unique fingerprint in the whole internet.

acockworkorange,

The response at the end of the article is funny though. “No you” but in DA.

acockworkorange,

Torches and pitchforks! Get it cheap here! Torches and pitchforks!

acockworkorange,

At least Picard learned to play the flute.

acockworkorange,

Don’t be like that. We’re all discussing in good faith here.

Before that happens, Adira spends considerable time with the ghost boyfriend on how would that be received and goes through considerable angst processing it. Before even that it’s shown them in considerable anguish to come out to their boyfriend even.

Of that arc, the one thing well executed was the 90 seconds you pointed.

So yeah, most of it shouldn’t happen in a welcoming environment in the 25th century. Her adoptive parents had no issue being a gay couple adopting a teenager, in which universe would that teenager ever feel the need to hide their sexuality and insecurities from them? Why the anguish?

It’s pretty much established since TNG and DS9 that pansexuality is mainstream. In The Outcast, Riker was involved with a non binary alien; the episode wasn’t about the reactions (the crew was absolutely nonchalant about it), with Worf supporting Riker trying to rescue the alien that broke their social customs. You can still send a message with a good in universe justification.

There’s no in universe justification for Adira. She doesn’t come from a backwards culture, has crazy conservative parents, there’s no atavic crewmate around, no aliens taking offense… It’s a non conflict. It’s bad writing.

To be clear, it’s a message that needs to be on TV. But it’s a damn shame they did it so poorly when it could easily have been set up to actually create a conflict that would then be resolved. You need in universe bigots to show bigotry being overcomed.

acockworkorange,

Considering the US project failed because it couldn’t find enough buyers, I’m glad the Romanian moves forward.

acockworkorange,

Damn.

acockworkorange,

What a sensationalist title. The lion-man of Germany is a much older sculpture, and if memory serves there are cave paintings that are older still.

This is a sensational find that enriches our understanding of a region and period of history that is still not well known. There’s no need to lie.

acockworkorange,

Too late. It’s now my head cannon that Singapore means Sin City now.

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...

acockworkorange,

Can we get a “humans are space orcs” tag going in this sub?
