Yeah I totally understand even if I don’t agree with it and find it insanely stupid that we continue to use these crappy ass proprietary tools 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net idk, where I work everyone wants to use PowerPoint and they want my slide decks. If you don’t have that problem, good!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Why da fuq would I want to do that?! 😆

@virtualbri@mastodon.online Yeah, I was thinking less about the cloak angle specifically as Geordi’s statement all the Starfleet ships are linked and call out to each other. It made it sound like a non-Starfleet ship (or an older one even) would be an obvious choice.

@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social Something that we are always fighting is when assets are shared from vendor to vendor, making sure they look the same, and sometimes when we go from a “damaged” version to a “clean” one between seasons things drift. Seven and Raffi just had it repainted.

@virtualbri@mastodon.online (I am admittedly torn between being a little critical and definitely enjoying the ride. I’m a born nitpicker, but Season 3 has also been pretty great, generally.)

@virtualbri@mastodon.online Speaking of new hero models, I am also surprised La Sirena wasn’t used here for similar reasons… I think it was noted it has a new texture this season, even though it apparently never flies? …Yet, perhaps?

@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social Yeah, as a peek behind the curtain, not only new sets which are hugely expensive but a new hero Bounty CGI model, which the Museum version definitely is not for what we do need to do with it.

@frigginglorious@freeradical.zone I suppose that would be a concern. Don’t those have to be sideloaded on a Roku.

@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social I don’t have any adult video apps on there anymore… But damn at one point I did because I thought it was fun.

@virtualbri@mastodon.online I still think if all the Starfleet ships are networked (because they forgot about the incident in Prodigy already, apparently), it would make far more sense to abandon the Titan-A and to have used the Bounty itself to rescue the away team.

Finally gotten around to making a twtxt extention for for the Yellow CMS by Datenstrom

It is live on http://darch.dk/social and can be download from github

It may have been “Superior Klingon Technology”, but it was also easier to remove the cloaking device from the Bounty than the Defiant. :)

@connorabruce@mastodon.social@georgetakei@universeodon.com I mean, obviously the Republicans’ attack on trans rights and refusal to provide gender-affirming care definitely can cause a mental health crisis, but a single incident is not much to draw a position from.

Went on a quick stroll today, but a little bit elsewhere than usual. Liquid sunshine hit us at one point, but it wasn’t bad.

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool. Well, when I think of classic interfaces, then Reader, Writer, Seeker, Closer, Stringer, Formatter come to mind. Unless my definition of adverbs is completely off, these are nouns in my point of view. Granted, they end in er and start with a verb, but they’re nouns. Adverbs are something different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb Anyways, good writeup. :-)

I figured out how to do slide decks using reveaj.js and zs 😅

@stigatle Pretty tired today 😴 Going to bed early 😆

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Really we’ll 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net How did the presentation Go? 😂

Good morning to you all! How are you all doing today?

@marado@twtxt.net Ahh yeah I remember that Yarn well 👌

It’s very frustrating that between large corporations and nations nobody (including Australia who are some of the worst offenders here with lack of climate action) are taking this very seriously 🤦‍♂️

Like can we just stop mining and burning Coal already?! 🤔

@frigginglorious@freeradical.zone @ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social Sony TVs are as well! They spy on what you’re watching at a pixel level and send that information back home every few mins 😱

@nullsh@twtxt.net I’m good! Busy but good 😆

What’s “this”? 🤔

hi!!

@prologic@twtxt.net life has become much more complicated, but this makes it more interesting. and how are you?

@frigginglorious@freeradical.zone How detailed is the information? I guess I expect all TV devices to have most mainstream streaming apps installed, so it doesn’t seem scary to me.

(for reference, here’s me whining on how the measure was already insufficient last year).

unfortunately, it isn’t “just Germany” the whole EU seems OK with ignoring the urgency science proves the sittuation demands. And this was already an watered-down decision…

I see hard core ppl in Duluth surfing Lake Superior amidst ice. Crazy.

I wish I was somewhere I could go surfing right now.

Check in to the Hilbert Hotel, and learn why some #infinities are bigger than others: https://aeon.co/videos/check-in-to-the-hilbert-hotel-and-learn-why-some-infinities-are-bigger-than-others

@darch@neotxt.dk Nah sorry, work thing 😅 But I can always hold such talks online if there’s enough interest outside of my day job 🤣

Also the code-blocks not being indented properly is a bug with Hedge Doc’s display. When you go into “Slide Mode” it does render properly I think (I hope!)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for the review! I’ll quickly fix this up before the presentation today (midday) 😅 In terms of conventions and naming however, yes these are actually called “adverbs”. An adverb is a noun that describes a verb, usually be putting an “er” on the end of a verb. But thi doesn’t always work and sometimes it’s hard to do, so that’s why ServeHTTP instead of Handle() for the Handler interface. Even though there is the Handle and HandleFunc function types 🤷‍♂️

An interesting aspect of the Philosophy of #Religion is that it involves all the main areas of philosophy: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/philosophy-religion/

Roku devices are a privacy nightmare.

@gaghyogi49@tenforward.social I’ve been a bit annoyed at the excessive use of motion picture era references and callbacks in a TNG-focused show. In this case, using an artifact from TNG would’ve been *way* more interesting.

@gaghyogi49@tenforward.social During the episode, I thought this was the Pegasus’ cloak.

@prologic@twtxt.net

I thought Germany was a pretty progressive country 🤔

Doesn’t feel like that to me, but of course it depends on which country you’re comparing us to. 😅

I didn’t follow this closely (because I lost all hope when it comes to Germans and their cars), but it looks like this e-fuel stuff is mostly the result of the efforts of one party? Or maybe the others like it too and just blame that party for it. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, mates! It was indeed cool to watch, but also a bit frightening. Quite violent. I reckon they were fighting over prey. I only saw it on the photos (3 & 4), one had a mouse or smomething in its beak. I’m speculating that the other might have thought that this meal belongs to itself as it was caught in its own territory or so. Thus, maybe by crashing into the rival the hope was that the prey is dropped on impact, so it can be stolen back by the rightful owner. Just guessing, I don’t know. I really like red kites, they look super cool in my opinion. Their iconic v-shaped tail makes them unmistakable for others.

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! A few things (I can’t fix them myself I reckon):

• Code blocks would benefit from proper indentation.
  
• Interfaces have adverbs as names? I reckon they’re nouns instead.
  
• I don’t get what convention ServeHTTP is breaking here.
  
• Typo in section “Live Coding Time”: “its”.
  
• Typo in section “Receivers Matter”: “Pointer”
