@sun Hear you loud and clear.

Any of you have a SNES with a flash cart? The SNES scientists would like to do some science. https://nextcloud.tas.bot/index.php/apps/forms/s/TJDiEwP6J7HFfYbPRw4A7dHN

They need a screenshot at power-on and another screenshot after a few minutes, to see if it changes.

@monnier Her birth name is Lantian in Mandarin, which means "blue sky".

Did you all know that Bluesky is named after its CEO?

Seriously, look it up.

LOOK AT MY STUFF!

For a while I've been trying to figure out where the "X 2: The X-ening" #snowclone comes from. The closest I've gotten to the source of where this sequel-is-dumb thing comes from is from "Highlander 2: The Quickening", because didn't the first movie very clearly state that there could only be one?

But I haven't been able to find patient zero from "Highlander 2: the Quickening" to "Highlander 2: The Highlanderening".

Anyone know?

I further speculate that "The Happening" being a dumb movie further advanced this meme.

@selzero Maniac Mansion has done something that no adventure game has done since: open-ended puzzles, multiple endings, multiple player characters.

I wish another game did that.

OMFG FINALLY ZELDA STARS ZELDA

This is `apt install npm`.

I wonder what the psychological impact would be if every subsequent `npm install` command also output this list and a y/n prompt.

@sara And all that for what would have been pretty crappy pay, right?

I tried applying for a job there last year too, but I didn't get to talk to a human. I did essay, IQ test, and two takehome coding challenges (I was pretty proud of those too).

I'm pretty sure that Marky Mark has no idea how to run a company. What has Canonical done and actually managed to make good on?

bzr? git ate its lunch.

Launchpad? Github ate its lunch

Upstart? systemd ate its lunch

Ubuntu One? iTunes ate its lunch

Juju? Ansible, Terraform, Salt, and even Puppet ate its lunch.

@technomancy You may be right about Knight Rider. I don't think Automan was very influential, but it was first.

@technomancy Tron is likely an early influence. Automan too, maybe?

What 80s thing used the cyan/magenta cyberpunk grid-into-the-horizon design unironically?

Where did we get this from?

@djsumdog Why the heck are you expecting this to terminate?

@technomancy I think I should give Babylon 5 more of a chance. A friend has been telling me for over a decade to check it out.

So warp 1 is speed of light and warp 10 is instantaneous travel, and it's an exponential curve between then two?

Okay, so, three seasons in, and I guess this is the year I finally become a Star Trek fan.

However, I have such a hard time with some of the fantasy in the show.

Relativity just doesn't exist. There exists an absolute temporal frame of reference in the universe, and everyone is on it.

You can totally violate causality via the magic of subspace communications.

Warp 9 (9 times the speed of light?) should still be stupidly slow to get anywhere, but somehow they manage to get from one star to another in at most a week.

Everyone uses Earth-based units of time (hours, days, years).

Everyone speaks English. Nobody even mentions the magical translation device. Even in situations where the magical translation device couldn't be around, everyone still speaks English.

Everything, every planet and every spaceship, has Earth-like conditions of atmosphere, temperature, and gravity, which just so happen to work for every species.

How does a tiny shuttle pod have Earth gravity anyway?

Almost everything looks like humans. A few concessions are made now and then, and I understand considerations of budget for the show, but at least allude more frequently to non-human extraterrestrials!

@clacke I bet he qualifies for this job, though.
