Congratulations. In almost 30 years, this is the first thing that finally made me want to throw my phone when I saw it.

This could totally be adapted into a game for a very interesting immersive experience. Imagine entire worlds of gameplay that adapted to the orientation of your viewport.

gregorum,

There’s a reason why they call us Gen Xers the forgotten generation…

gregorum,

Soylent Green is my favorite flavor, but Soylent Red is my second favorite ;)

And you won’t, if you add it more frequently.

It’s a matter of long-term economic effect. Both work, but one is cheaper in the long-term because bromide sanitizers for longer at higher temperatures, such as those which exist in hot tubs. That’s the point they were making.

Chlorine also works fine, but because of the higher temperatures, you have to use more, which cost more.

gregorum,

And then you came here to complain about it

gregorum,

oh, um… shit, it’s right on the tip of my tongue…

Is anyone here using their hardware TPM chips for credentials?

I’m curious about the possible uses of the hardware Trusted Protection Module for automatic login or transfer encryption. I’m not really looking to solve anything or pry. I’m just curious about the use cases as I’m exploring network attached storage and to a lesser extent self hosting. I see a lot of places where public...

gregorum,

Outside of Microsoft and Windows, what’s the application for it? Does Linux or UNIX have much use for TPM? Pardon, my ignorance, but I bet this is a good place to ask!

let’s just ignore how the pretext for this line was Data observing how, sometimes, terrorism is an effective vehicle for social and/or political change.

edit: just to be clear, this isn’t a criticism, just an observation about the glibness of the meme as compared to the seriousness context.

gregorum, (edited )

that was Data’s whole point. Then, just as Picard was about to dish out a bunch of huffy, self-righteous moral indignation, their conversation got cut off by an incoming message or some other rather convenient interruption. Trek was often bold in how it approached controversial sociopolitical subjects. And, sometimes, it scampered off without honestly addressing them.

this occasion was one of the latter.

edit: although, one could argue that, due to the fact that Data got his comment in before Picard was able to give a self-righteous counter-argument, the writers, in fact, were quite brave. The comment was so controversial, in fact, the episode was banned in several markets which refused to air this episode, and it still remains banned in some places to this day.

From Memory-Alpha:

Due to political sensitivity, as Ireland was still in the midst of the Troubles when “The High Ground” aired in 1990, the reference to Irish unification and terrorism in the episode resulted in its removal from first-run in the United Kingdom. To date, some syndicating networks will not air the episode, and it was only in 2007 (fifteen years after its first run, nine years after the conflict ended in a peaceful manner) that it was broadcast on the BBC.

all I’m saying is nobody gets their pants altered that often, and “your pants are ready to be picked up” is their not-very-subtle fuck code.

gregorum, (edited )

The show was made for syndication, so it wasn’t airing on any particular network. It was Rick Berman that had the issue with it on Deep Space 9, and both he and Brannon Braga (aka “Bermaga”) that had an issue with it on Voyager and TNG. Both of them are known homophobes. 

But even what happened with Ellen in 1995 and Will and Grace in 1997, didn’t make much progress on Star Trek. There was even a scene with lieutenant Hawk and his husband in Star Trek first contact that was cut per Rick Berman‘s orders. 

edit: sorry for the multiple replies! lemmy is being weird

gregorum,

Who wouldn’t want a genetically-engineered top?

Ira Stephen Behr and Ronald D. Moore later lamented that they didn’t push back harder against Berman and other producers for queer representation on DS9 in the DS9 documentary What We Left Behind. They notably had tried in the beginning with Garak and Bashir and were immediately shut down.

Behr, in particular, really felt bad about it.

Edit: Andy Robinson, who played Garak, had a real “fuck you” attitude about that and continued to play Garak as “omnisexual” anyway. There are little hints and innuendos throughout the entire entire series between him and Dr. Bashir.

Currently, they’re giving Russia a ton of military aid. I don’t hear them asking for anything.

perhaps they’re still angry about Dennis Rodman pooing all over their nice hotel?

gregorum, (edited )

why? we basically ignore them most of the time. is that enough for them to declare war on us?

NK has spent years whipping up an imaginary fervor over, essentially, not liking the US as a pretext for some war they wish to fight. that’s it.

gregorum,

Bev would say no, because it’s not green and saucy enough, but it’s unclear what Tom Paris would think. He might prefer the traditional Dickens (ref: Fair Haven), but might also gravitate towards the cheesy Bill Murray “Scrooged” (a la Capt. Proton).

I’m gonna have to say that Tom Parris would go for the Dickensian version, just because he prefers the long play, especially considering his character growth through the series. However, it might still be a bit more goofy than one would traditionally expect.
