What I felt after reading "All Systems Red" by Martha Wells

What an enjoyable cozy scifi adventure! The story centers around a security bot with a self-hacked governor module, who refers to itself privately as “Murderbot” and likes to watch serials and movies surreptitiously in it’s free time. The socially awkward bot repeatedly assures us that it definitely does not care about...

Ive read the first few so far. The next book on my list looks to be a full length novel.

I find your reference of “her humans” is interesting. I never thought of muderbot as a her. Perhaps I missed an important line somewhere in the story?

I think your review is right on. You captured exactly what it’s like. I look forward to reading the next book.

To add to others, wind also is generated when a rain “microburst” occurs.This happens frequently in the southwest U.S.

A microburst is when a very large amount of water is dropped out of the clouds. The gaining rain speed pushes the air below it out of the way. The air is pushed outward horizontal to the ground, which in essence is a massive wall of wind.

Often in the Sonoron desert a microburst causes the wind to push a lot of dirt from the ground surface to be blown out with the wind. When this happens it’s called a haboob. The wall of thick dust and particles can be up to a mile high and as wide as a city.

Below is a link to an image of a haboob over Phoenix, Arizona.

Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to contribute your knowledge. I appreciate it.

TIL In the Hot Coffee lawsuit against McDonalds,punitive damages were given due to McDonalds intentionally overheating coffee to save money on refills (www.poolelg.com)

During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not...

It’s pretty scary how media can influence us so much, even when we think they aren’t, and even when we think “only dumb people fall for it.” No my friend, the majority fall for it. Not cause they’re dumb, but because they’ve scienced the hell out of human nature and know precisely how to do it right under our noses. It started with marketing and advertising that works well, unfortunately. They’ve cracked the psyche code. Media adopted it. Big tech improved it. Gah… this is turning into a rant about capitalism; I didn’t intend to go there. Eek.

Too bad apple refises to provide a manual with these kinds of features in it. That’d be useful. No, it’s not intuitive, clearly.

Doesn’t seem to be available for Android.

@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

And this is exactly what s/he’s talking about. The whole name calling thing if someone has a differing viewpoint. It’s militant and intolerant. I’m just so sick of this kind of attitude here, I’m close to ditching Lemmy because of it.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Bingo. This is exactly the issue for me. The militant and intolerant attitudes and name calling. It’s deeply disappointing.

It was a burger I ate when the chef was going to kill us all.

JoeClu,

Tried. No go. It doesn’t change with the font size of the title bar.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Okay thanks. May try it. Or may juts switch to i3 or xfce. I installed i3 the other day. Took a few hours of playing with it before I became comfortable with it.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Font size did not affect change.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme

I don’t understand what that means.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Still couldn’t find anything in Cinnamon Spices. Oh well.

How does one do that? Through the Themes icon in the menu bar, under Preferences, I was able to double click on the following themes. Adapta-Nokto, CBlack, and Windows 10 Light Theme.

There is a checkmark to the left of them indicating they are installed. But I can’t seem to activate them. I double click on them and nothing happens. Right mouse button and middle mouse button does nothing.

When I go back to the Themes tab under Simplified Settings, they do not appear in the Style drop down list.

How do I activate these themes I downloaded? I see they are in ~/.themes as expected.


<span style="color:#323232;">~$ ll ~/.themes
</span><span style="color:#323232;">drwxrwxr-x  5 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 ./
</span><span style="color:#323232;">drwxr-x--- 26 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:55 ../
</span><span style="color:#323232;">drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 Adapta-Nokto/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">drwxrwxr-x  7 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 CBlack/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 Windows-10/
</span>

So I found an option under Themes Tab called Desktop. When I click it, the downloaded themes are available to select, along with a million other ones. I selected each of my themes but really didn’t notice much difference. The Start Menu changed a little bit. Very underwhelmed. Is theming only available for the Start Menu? No title bars, windows, background, icons, mouse looks different at all.

I must be doing this wrong. ??? The Mouse Pointer, Applications, and Icons buttons don’t list the new theme as an option to select. ?? I guess I mistakenly thought a “theme” impacted most aspects of the GUI. ??

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Can you recommend one with a short window title bar? I’ve tried numerous ones that appear in the Main Menu -> Preferences -> Themes: Add/Remove Tab. None of them thus far has made any difference regarding the height of the title bar. Or are you suggestions to get these gtk themes from elsewhere?

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Hi. I’ve seen a lot of peeps post images like this. I’m behind the times. What app is that?

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Why is it amazing? Trying to decide on a distro.
