The scene where all of those underdeveloped people come on board the Enterprise with their animals and one woman is shouting throughout the whole deck. Patrick Stewart lost it at this point, turns away from the camera and starts to laugh uncontrollably. But they kept the camera rolling and the scene turned out great!
Edit: It’s S02E18 “Up the Long Ladder”
Went to my very first concert this year, actually (Porter Robinson). It was awesome (was in the front row, too!). Now I’m hooked and I already booked tickets for two other ones this year. 🥰
The reason why I never went to any concert in my life was a mixture of having too much social anxiety and not enough money. Tackled both of these problems, but it took me a while.
Silo. I like the music so much!
…and also: Gargoyles!
One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again!
We are defenders of the night. We are gargoyles!
Bear McCreary’s music is such a masterpiece.
“This is the best time of your life, it will never be as easy.” I wasted more time at school than at work and I didn’t have Fridays off, so that was a lie.
There’s only one real Proton.
And does it get easier to manage as you start to get used to it and make a routine?
European here. I worked many years for 40h/week and I never got used to it, really. There was not enough spare time in my life to enjoy it (especially, since commuting to work took off even more useful time). I neglected cleaning my room, postponed important appointments as much as possible and I was often too tired to do the things I love.
Since 2024, I now work 30h/week, completely from home. I have every Friday off and Thursday is a short day. My life has improved drastically. I am no longer tired all the time, I’m more motivated at work and I am actually capable of going to concerts, parties, cinema. It’s amazing.
Every human is built different. I realized I absolutely cannot function having a 9to5 job from Monday to Friday.
Only as long as Gabe Newell runs it. After that it will enshittify like any other company that needs to make profits.
I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy
Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”
Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t understand how some people can have relationships with an AI.
I regularly visit https://vogons.org/ to talk about retro computers.
TV: Do you ever feel scared? He’s the richest man in the world.
VW: He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a fk how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.
Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)
Rewatched that recently. I was really surprised how dark it sometimes gets for a kids’ show. It still holds up really well!
I’m a webdev and I mainly work with Vanilla JS, React and PHP - I use phpStorm now. Everything mostly works out of the box, it auto-detects my PHP environment, composer install (which is basically just npm for PHP), nice-to-have features like Stylelint and ESLint are also integrated and enable themselves by default if specific config files are found inside a project folder…it’s just nice. Open a project, see it do all of its magic, start to code.
Previously I’ve worked with VSCode and I needed a plugin for every single feature and every plugin had its own settings that you needed to be aware of. It was horrible. I was configuring my own IDE more than I was actually writing code. I get that it’s probably more flexible than phpStorm, but I just don’t have time do dig into plugin settings all of the time - and god forbid I work with a project from another developer and he uses a different extension than me for Stylelint or formatting .md files…
Yeah, she got us all really hyped up before Porter came on. He was so nice! He even forgot the lyrics for one of his songs, because he was a little nervous, so he started to beatbox randomly 🤣
Porter Robinson and underscores, a few days ago.
“It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere” is stuck in my head forever.
…and the jumping off a plane, riding on a crocodile, killing a nazi scene.
I have a GPD Win Max 2 (2024 model). Battery lasts for 8-10 hours of work (coding, some browsing, occasional video) and it can run Cyberpunk with Raytracing. It’s an absolutely amazing little device.
I believe it cost around ~1400€ for the 64GB model and they just released the 2025 model with doubled CPU cores.
And yes, Linux (Fedora 41) runs on it without any issues. There’s no driver for the fingerprint reader yet, but some hackers are working on it.
Einfach locker durch die Hose atmen.
Yes that’s the one, with the drunk guy. The episode is so over the top, I love it.
