takelgryph,

Can’t say I expected someone on Lemmy to be one of the lucky 10,000 for this topic, but here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dril

takelgryph,

honestly, i can’t think of a better endorsement of ipv6 than “people who think cryptocurrency is cool hate it”

Sega Game Gear -- my parents had this whole Thing about not wanting me to hook stuff up to the TV (although I occasionally convinced them to rent a Genesis and a few games for the weekend). Favorite game...hard to say, probably one of the Sonic games but I don't remember which.

If only non-portable consoles count, they did eventually pick up a used NES (and later got me a Nintendo 64 as a birthday gift). Favorites there are Legend of Zelda and Ogre Battle 64.

US media giant Gannett sues Google over "monopolization of advertising technology markets" and "deceptive commercial practices" (web.archive.org)

In 2022, Google made upwards of $30 billion in revenue from the sale of ad space on publishers’ websites which was six times the digital advertising revenue of all U.S. news publications combined, according to a statement by Gannett.

takelgryph,

Given how much Gannett is to blame for newspaper consolidation and the resulting shitshow, this feels more like a "let them fight" at best.

takelgryph,

This would imply that a single slice of quiche would itself become toast. I don't think we can apply the cube rule to pieces of food; it has to be the original prepared form before being served.

takelgryph,

you're an idiot if you think China is communist

the entire country is just capitalism with extra steps

takelgryph,

no

takelgryph,

I don't want to just respond with something like "in other news, the Pope is still Catholic", but with Elon Musk running the show over there there's really no good reason to expect otherwise.

So, yeah, Pope still Catholic.

takelgryph,

Eh, the problem I have with that approach is that in my case, Adderall helps me do stuff like "get the trash out to the dumpster" and "make phone calls". Executive dysfunction is a bitch and a half for plenty of reasons that'd still be there even if we finally attained fully automated luxury gay space communism.

takelgryph,

Yes, and I will peck the FUCK out of anyone who argues otherwise.

takelgryph,

I always figured the real authentication was tied into the comm badges, and the authorization codes were just a fancy “are you sure”

What are the progressive social issues of the 24th Century?

While some may argue in transparently bad faith that it isn't so, it's obvious to even a casual observer that Star Trek's setting depicts in the Federation a vision of society in which the goals of both the social and economic left wing have largely won out and largely been attained. The people of the Federation have relatively...

takelgryph,

Regarding the humanocentrism, there was one possible explanation I hit on while playing Star Trek Online and noticing the availability of species-specific ships (such as the Atrox carrier and the Andorian escorts) -- basically, most member worlds maintain their own independent fleets, but Earth doesn't. The human prominence in Starfleet is an artifact of that -- there's no official Earth Expeditionary Fleet, so the people who might join it apply to Starfleet instead.

takelgryph,

True, it's hardly a complete explanation. But it at least makes it easier to rationalize it as "because effects budget" than might otherwise be the case.

(Alternate comedy option: Starfleet isn't human-dominated, it's actually Lanthanite-dominated and they just got better about hiding the accent.)
