I loved PIC S3 and definitely seeing Ro Laren again, but yeah, I did notice the makeup was a lot more subtle than in her TNG appearances.

Now I wonder if it was always supposed to be that subtle but had to be “exaggerated” a bit back then to show up on older TVs. Kind of like how the Addams Family set was mostly pink so it appeared correctly on old black and white TV sets.

fstrim needs a fancy TUI version of this since TRIM is the modern analogue of degragging.

This is approximately where it is in the print. Every time the head moves over any of those support bases, it sounds like nails on a chalkboard 😆

Agreed.

Not sure about current generation, but the Gen Z people in my life do seem to understand the concept but are absolutely terrified of it. Like, if they don’t have cell service when we go camping, they are just super agitated like they’ve lost their sense of smell or something. Could just be those specific people, but that’s the only sample I have to gauge on.

IMO, peak internet experience was when you had to make an effort to log on. i.e. dialing-up and tying up the phone line. Yeah, the speeds sucked and sometimes you got the dreaded “all circuits are busy now” message during peak hours, but everything else about the experience was better.

When you logged into AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo, etc, you did so with a purpose. You never worried about bothering someone by messaging them at a bad time because if it was a bad time to do so, they wouldn’t be online in the first place.

“Back in my day” (lol), the internet wasn’t always on, it wasn’t demanding your attention, it wasn’t pestering you with constant notifications, it wasn’t in your face all the time, it wasn’t constantly recommending or suggesting things at you (not “to” you, at you) etc, etc. It was there when you needed it but didn’t butt into your life every second when you weren’t.

You could disconnect.

I honestly don’t know what we can really do about it. Personally, I turn off pretty much anything that can send a notification except SMS/MMS and check manually when I want to. Some people hate that and get annoyed that I rarely respond instantly to IMs and such, but I hate being constantly “on” as well as the expectation to be.

Eh, yes and no.

A lot of friendships do start out based on proximity, convenience, etc but can grow into something deeper and lasting. Like, many of my friends in school growing up all had last names near mine in the alphabet. Two of those I still hang out with decades later.

When you leave college and go into the real world on your own, you find out which ones were built on convenience and which were lasting. I couldn’t tell you how many “friends” I had in college, but since graduating, I probably only keep in touch with about 10 of them regularly.

Reminds me of the saying “Relatives are who you were born into, family is who you choose”.

Looking at OP’s post history over the last 24 hours, maybe that bug should be upgraded to a feature.

Hmm, maybe. I only recognize other platforms if they have the platform in their domain (piefed.example.com, etc) so I can’t really say.

I used Jerboa for all of 5 minutes before I couldn’t stand it. Web interface in mobile browser is infinitely greater than Jerboa lol

1. Is there supposed to be a video linked in the post? Because all I’m seeing is an image
2. If it’s a political video, it goes to !politicalvideos@lemmy.world

Or when Nellie shot the hooker with a crossbow because she was bored.

Yeah, that show got dark after the 3rd (or was it the 4th?) season.

The comparison goes deeper. Nellie and Joffrey were basically the same character (minus the whole royal drama). Both evil, spoiled brats with rich parents who usually got away with whatever they did. The fact that decades apart and in completely different shows that their actors look strikingly alike is pretty interesting.

Bike alpaca is Taylor Lautner (from Twilight)

Joffrette is Alison Arngrim who was Nellie Olsen on Little House on the Prarie.

Somewhere, in a box, in the bowels of my basement closet with other stuff I still haven’t unpacked after moving in, I have the DVD box set of this show.

I should dig it out and rip it to my media server and watch it.

My app says latest is 2.7.16 for alpha and 2.7.15 for Beta/stable. 😬

I wonder if the app just has hardcoded “latest” values. My app is the latest F-Droid version which was last updated 5 months ago.

My takeaway is that I’m gonna start calling no-bake cookies “no bakies”.

If I understand correctly:

“Ask” is for more open ended questions (The vague “what do you think about” posts like you mentioned). Posts that are asking for a simple / single answer are generally removed for not being open ended. The question is more for discussion.

Here you can ask things that are less open ended and/or are looking for a single or simple answer.

I usually do everything from CLI.

Are you wanting to re-encode it to a different codec or just change the container from mkv to mp4?

To remux the file (change the container format), you can simply do:

# The -f mp4 is technically optional as it can deduce it from the extension, but I like to be explicit
ffmpeg -i file.mkv -f mp4 file.mp4

That should go very fast as it’s just copying the streams as-is into a new container.

If you want to re-encode it to a different codec, then you’ll need to use a more complex ffmpeg command.

At least there’s precedence for Vulcan selfishness. Gestures vaguely at ENT
