Soon, in a re-education center near you:

You know they have no fear of revolution when they outright tell the public to eat shit.

New :
Ok, we gotta design and make a new bridge set for the original Enterprise
> So, consult all of the old build logs and try to make something that looks a lot like --
Hell no! It's 2009! Make it ALL touch screens, and make the front of it a window.
> A window?! But it's the bridge of a ship! It should be protected, the viewscreen was never a wind --
You think I care?! It will look cool. BUILD IT.

New :
Ok, so we've got a western-themed new Star Wars show. We need to design computer terminals and the like --
> We're gonna make it all look modern and cool, right boss?
Heck no! We're going to be true to the vision of the 1977 movie, emulating the look of cathode ray tubes and having few buttons in the front, and drab colors.
> But.. but... it's 2018! We gotta moderniz-
It's gonna be true to the original or nothing at all. Got it?!

@LukeDashjr

Good point, but I'm speaking to the temptation to modernize the vision, whether it took place in the past or future. The fact that there is technology far more advanced than our own is the common theme to both.

When I was a kid, TV seasons were 22-24 episodes long, and came out every academic year like clockwork, from September to May, with re-runs through the summer.

I haven't even heard of it ^__^

Lately, I've been watching way too much

@joel

It's a lot more economical to just pump out 6-8 episodes and THEN renew only if it does well.

Sucky, tho :P

@teamtuck

I've been both. I like the story overall a bit more, but I like the execution of new shows more.

    @sigrid Hello! Is the source for the updated Uxn for Android (April 10, 2023) available somewhere? The 100r sourcehut branch appears to be over a year old.

    RL_Dane,
    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @tbsp

    I'd also be interested in knowing where to find an up-to-date uxn for Android.

    Edit: oh, the Play Store seems to have an up-to-date one.

    F-Droid would be nice, but that's ok. :)

    @sigrid

    RL_Dane,
    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @tbsp

    You just download the .rom file, and tell your file manager to open it in the uxn app. It will get loaded and saved, and show up in the loader menu.

    I like , I just wish it didn't take 14 seconds to resume from S3 suspend on my X200

    Also, the system uptime is actual runtime and not time since it was switched on, although now I'm not sure what the "correct" way is.

    RL_Dane,
    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @pixelherodev

    As in, if you started it up, ran it for ten minutes, then suspended it for ten days, the uptime would show ten minutes.

    RL_Dane,
    @RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

    @pixelherodev

    I thought it would be elapsed time since last reboot.

    That's how Linux does it.

    Errr, definitely not my intent. I hope Eugen doesn't see it that way (if he sees it at all).

    How would you re-word it?

    I axed it.

    Thanks for your perspective

    Those who value the community will always find places to go, and we can always defed the bad actors.

    But hopefully that's reallly premature talk.

    Just finished a playthrough of xkcd's recent "Escape Velocity" and I enjoyed it very much! That foreshadowing at the hollow planet, though, I have to admit I didn't catch at first. ;)

    That was a fun way to spend the time I should have been working on school with. :P

    @benjaminhollon

    I have to turn it off for things like the imgflip meme maker and some QR code generators. And now, it seems some web games (which I hadn't really played much of).

    The flip side of "Linux is great as long as you don't respect your time" is

    I highly recommend Turing Complete, a game where you start with a single NAND gate and build components up until you have a computer, solving various challenges along the way.

    I confess I haven't used Pop in a while ^__^

    Is that setting for all windows, or only for stacked windows?
