What gives you a Star Trek vibe without being Star Trek?

Could be from any medium, not just TV and movies. Like if you've got a board game or a role-playing game or a video game or a card game or a ball game or a tracing game or a tangerine game or a book game or a laser game, any of those would work, too.

And there's no need to mention Galaxy Quest or Orville as I am already aware of those.

“Recall records everything users do on their PC, including activities in apps, communications in live meetings, and websites visited for research.”

But don’t worry, it’s encrypted, Microsoft says.

During a 36h migraine, I drafted a short story with monsters and killing. The muse was with me. If these headaches persist, I’ll have a themed anthology in no time, though if these headaches persist, no time will feel like a million years and shit’s gonna get dark.

Capitalism managed to memory hole the third act of every sci-fi story out of Silicon Valley’s collective memory.

Using vague language about scientific facts misleads readers

Using subjective phrasing like "scientists believe" makes facts seem like opinions.

this had me in stitches

a what to call this? a celebration? a tease? a loving tribute? a shitpost chock full of brainworms from Gideon the Ninth (with maybe some very small spoilers, though you wouldn’t know it if you haven’t read it)

Forget Skynet.

Slopnet will be the end of us — not with nukes and cyborgs but with slop, injecting AI slop into every service, operation, utility, everything we rely on. Nobody will notice until municipal grids fail, planes fall from the sky, food supplies dwindle, summers extend year-round, and billions die.

Then the slop-meister trillionaires will gather in their mountain bunker retreat, pop the last bottles of champagne, and toast to their victory over human diversity and compassion.

We used to search for answers.

Now we’re supposed to slop — and slop not even for answers, just enough slopped-up bullshit to bury the question.

After a week of feeling crappy, my ME/CFS wasn’t too bad today. However, I decided to take a nap just to recharge my batteries. When I awoke my dizziness and brain fog was much, much worse. It’s almost like my brain didn’t completely wake up and I’m permanentliy groggy. This ever happen to others of you with #mecfs?

Handling The Indentation of a Treeview Component: "In a nutshell, the problem is to build a UI that contains nested components with an increasing indentation for each one. The problem is common on the web, but I will highlight the ones from Github, Figma, Adobe and more." #CSS https://ishadeed.com/article/tree-view-css-indent/
