I use a client that has this feature, and it's nice. Would definitely recommend it.

In a public park, you can absolutely ask random people to leave your party area. Not the park, but the space you are using. Double so if you've gone through the official channels to reserve that section.

And that goes both ways: If someone is having an event and one inserts themselves where they're clearly not invited, then that person very much has issues respecting others' boundaries.

It all boils down to people respecting each other.

I'll take your word for it, though I assume it is the case. Like I said....it's just the internet doing what it does (for better or worse).

"As an American" (though speaking only for myself) when I see those, I don't even go into them because my opinion wasn't solicited. I also don't throw out my opinions in non-American news/politics communities for the same reason. Also, I wish that was a two-way street.

I did not know I was missing Spock Goldblum from my life, but damn if I don't want more.

FWIW that community is just inspired by something that already exists outside of social media. The community owner kept !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world up since it's pretty active, but the new official/recommended one for dull stuff is !Dullsters@dullsters.net . They explicitly wanted it to be more inclusive (not that DMC was only restricted to men posting).

It's just....the internet I guess?

Go into the various "Ask" communities, and you'll see things like this constantly:

Women of Lemmy, what's something that...?

As a man, I .....

Americans of Lemmy, what is your favorite...?

As a European, I....

Definitely mildly infuriating when people just butt in when they're explicitly not the target audience of the question. If I'm somehow doing that with this reply, lol, I apologetically appreciate the irony.

Maybe one of those HDMI "stick" PCs you can get? There's x86 Android builds you can run or you can do like I did with my media PCs and boot into Openbox and just launch a fullscreen browser right to Jellyfin and control it from your phone. (My main setup uses Emby but should be able to do the same with JF).

I've actually got a portable Jellyfin server I take with me. Built on the OrangePi Zero 2W with a USB->NVMe acting as media storage (as well as the Jellyfin DB). It's got several other services running as well as a second Wifi adapter so it can also act as a travel router.

For playback, I pretty much just use my laptop or phone but have thought about adding one of the "stick" PCs as a client for it.

I've always liked the "Go Away" door mat Slappy Squirrel had in Animaniacs. I'm legit surprised I don't actually have one.

Who approved this?!

I always forget that's J.G. Hertzler. It's like....the less elaborate prosthetics he wears, the less I recognize him. See also: Laas in DS9.

(At least, until he speaks)

Laptop-style speakers may be just enough. It would be tight and maybe the badge would have to be enlarged slightly to accommodate it, though.

I did a deep clean of my laptop not long ago and was surprised at how tiny and flat the speakers actually were. They won't fill a room, but they're enough for light music or a Teams call at arm's length. Granted, it might not be good in a noisy area, but that would be a problem for the mic as well (not to mention public speakerphone use is kind of frowned on lol).

What BIOS setting are you changing? Secure Boot?

 

Sadly they're unavailable, but I want one of these so badly. I promise to only be minimally obnoxious with it.

Edit: Here's the product page if anyone's interested.

If anyone knows of a similar functional Bluetooth option like this, pleas share.

 

"Who approved this?" is one of the top five scariest, three-word emails you can get.

I don't know why I went into Belter creole for the title.

 

For ships operating within range of a starbase, I've assumed there are facilities on the base to generate antimatter with which to refuel the starships. This is reinforced by the fact that we can make antimatter today in particle accelerators (though it's currently the most expensive substance on Earth). Given a few centuries of technological advancement, it stands to reason it could be produced en masse.

For outside-the-norm situations, such as Voyager, where does their antimatter supply come from? Throughout the series, I only recall them ever being concerned with obtaining deuterium (which is, to my knowledge, both one half of the matter/anti-matter reaction material as well as feedstock for the impulse/fusion engines).

The only example I can find of harvesting antimatter is in PRO where they use the Bussard collectors to gather deuterium and use a previously-obtained supply of antimatter. There, we also learn that certain ion storms can produce antimatter.

Memory Alpha mentions the Galaxy-glass Engineering Systems Database contains a technical manual for "Antimatter Generation Replicator Programs".

So, do 24th century starships simply replicate (or otherwise produce) antimatter using power from the impulse engines that are fueled by deuterium?

VOY: 4x15 "Hunters"

 

A still of Jack and Nina from Just Shoot Me. I forget what episode this is (just had them in my screenshots folder), but that is the actual scene.

 

Was reading an article on the latest batch of Citrix vulnerabilities, and came across this absolute gem of truth.

It’s never been a question of if Coogler would go back to Black Panther, but when: Marvel’s got quite a few heroes waiting on their sequels and have been MIA for a minute. Even so, the two Panther movies have done pretty well at the box office, and Shuri, M’Baku, and Namor are locked in for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. A third film was all but a given, especially after last November when Denzel Washington teased Coogler was eyeing him for a mystery role, something the director later confirmed.

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who does not like ranch flavoring. To a lesser degree, I don't like apple pie either. Like, if I was served a slice of apple pie and courtesy required me to at least eat a few bites, I would. But I would absolutely not if it was a dish, say, covered in ranch dressing.

 

Yes, the sound is totally generic, but that's what I like about it.
