   What are the current options? I forgot if spine rendering is a thing already and how to request it.

   Went into the Garfield movie with very low expectations.

   It has a story, which is generic but not bad. Some jokes are boring, some fun. The emotional content is plastic.

   The visual art is high quality, occasionally brilliant! Hannah Waddingham's voice acting is a delight!

   Check out this villain song with Waddingham!

     @Angry Sun @Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem: @triodug None of the JJ Trek are memorable, they're 100% that "reuse names" thing I described, more so than Discovery.

     Discovery tries a lot of things and loses its footing. JJ Trek doesn't try anything.

     @Angry Sun JJ and DIS got some Trek out there and kept the name profitable until we got SNW, so I can't really hate on them.

     I don't think DIS hates Trek, I just think it tries too hard to be young and hip and relevant. Either way, it's a wrap now. Soon we'll have Academy to gripe about!

     @Angry Sun I think Picard had interesting ideas but is overall objectively bad ... but I'm a sucker for the fanservice and nostalgia so I liked it.

   ♲ @navigium@grindcore.ch: Sadly I have a feeling that Hospitality Exchange is on a downward spiral. Couchsurfing has become a for profit venture long ago. Now Warmshowers is going down the same route as Couchsurfing, resulting in a lot of requests by people who aren't interested in the community but are only looking for free accommodation. Trustroots decided to decentralize with crypto bros (Nostr). I don't have much hope that this improves the sense of community and therefore the requests you get.

   This leaves us with BeWelcome and hospitality exchange networks like Servas that predate the internet.

     Post history on my side goes until 2023-11-11, which may mean federation broke just after that, or it might simply mean that someone on my home server was following the account until that point, but unsubscribed.

   "The COSMAC (Complementary Symmetry Monolithic Array Computer) is an 8-bit microprocessor family introduced by RCA. It is historically notable as the first CMOS microprocessor."

   "Successors to the 1802 [ . . . ] have [ . . . ] enhanced features [ . . . ] There are also some minor pin function changes, but the line continues to be produced in its original 40-pin dual in-line package (DIP) format."

   • SDF.ORG

   @SDF.ORG @SDF I just realized there's a social.sdf.org in addition to the mastodon.sdf.org. What's the intended difference in use between the two?

   mastodon.sdf.org
   - Mastodon / GNU Social
   social.sdf.org - Smaller, SDF member instance

   sdf.org/?tutorials/social_netw…

   Should I read this as m.s.o being an open registration server for the general public, while s.s.o is for registered SDF members only?

   Checking their signup pages, they look similar but slightly different, and both seem to be general-purpose with registrations subject to review. No specific exclusion criteria mentioned.

    @Hypolite Petovan @alysonsee (Fca) Yeah, until dad cancelled it, their number had been theirs since 1966 when they moved into town.

    They've lived in their current house since 1969.

      This came up in a discussion the other day, and by coincidence it now showed up in the "on this day" reminder on another network where I had also posted it.
      
      

      ♲ @clacke@libranet.de: Me, calling dad on his mobile: Something is weird with your landline. It says "number not in use".

      Dad: Nope, nothing wrong. I canceled it. They were raising the monthly fee a couple of euros and we have mobiles, so we don't need it.

      Perfectly reasonable from an objective point of view, but .... but ... That phone number is a decade older than I am! I literally have life memories tied to that number.

      I didn't know I could feel this way about five simple digits.

      This is the kind of movie that should have worked, good actors and cinematography, interesting enough story, not bad for a superhero origin story.

      The script just lacks a certain something that would make it click. Also it's Bladerunner weather all the time.

      It is still mesmerizing. Not sure if I can really learn anything from it though. 😃

      Bitonic searches are completely mind-boggling to see.

      Some searches you can kind of get. Some are iteratively monotonically improving sortedness, and that's easy to see. Flower petals mean that a region is internally well-sorted but contains values from the full set, and you can recognize when those exist and are later merged.

    @shom 🐧📷🤿🏔️🪚 It is slowly improving! But local vendors here in my city do not sell Linux-friendly laptops without Windows, even when they ship with Ubuntu preinstalled in other markets. (e.g. Dell XPS and Lenovo Carbon)

    Framework doesn't ship here, but Librem does! And System76 as shown by your link, I didn't know that!

    Is that new, or has System76 done international shipping for a long time?

    I never fully finished this and merged it into racket2nix proper.

    I had been full-time employed on non-racket2nix stuff for a year at that point and was trying to pick it up again in my "spare time".

    Any year now.

    It is thanks to "Star Trek Shitposting" that I sometimes wake up and find "Faith of the Heart" playing in my head.

    It's a good thing! I'm one of those rare people who find it a genuinely good song.

    Content farmers have some very good algorithms in play.

    They rip the very finest content from Quora -- well-written, in depth, appealing to fans of the topic -- and then post it on fb with some spam link at the bottom.

    They don't post the top answers according to Quora, they post the best and most interesting and insightful answers.
