Because if we don’t build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will

It’s very likely I’m mis-remembering the BTS stuff, but I always thought the whole reason they wrote her out in S4 was to feature her in ST: Academy. I’m assuming now that was either never correct or something majorly changed.

Bryan Cranston kind-of? He had some minor movie roles before television and then larger movie roles after.

Will Ferrell, technically. Plus most of the other SNL actors who started there and did films later (though many of those were based on SNL skits). Tina Fey, though, plays it straight. She started as a writer, joined the cast of SNL, and did TV and movies later. Granted, I wouldn’t call any of them “movie stars”.

“Poor”

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that!

“No, I mean pour.”

He should at least get a cameo or a guest spot. Continuity-wise, Stamets is right there. And Tig Notaro is gonna be there, and Reno was the perfect foil for him.

I do wonder what the refresh rate is like on these. I’ve been daily driving a Minimal Phone for a few months now. While I like it, it definitely took some getting used to. While it’s actually quite snappy, it feels abysmally slow even compared to the Cat S22 Flip it replaced (which is a low-end Android smartphone in a flip phone form factor).

I also wonder why they bothered with a camera on it. The camera on the Minimal is extremely “meh”, but the thing that makes it mostly useless is the refresh rate of the e-ink. You never know if you got a blurry mess of a picture or what. The firmware will put the screen into “fast refresh / low fidelity” mode to try to improve it, but it’s still a roll of the dice when trying to take any kind of photo. About the only thing it’s good for is scanning QR codes.

America is slacking as of late.

The fuck I am! 😆

How do you think I’ve been coping with…gestures vaguely in all directions?

I think billionaires shouldn’t exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a “maximum wage” law.

Lemmy thinks billionaires shouldn’t exist and are setting up guillotines.

We are not the same.

I drove fast through what I thought was just a puddle. Splashed a bunch of water up under my car, and my dashboard looked like that for a week lol.

Why would that be relevant or allowed in a politics community? Fuckin’ lemmy.world, I tell you what.

Because rule 1 there is "Post only links to articles? Geesh. It’s not like that’s been a rule for 2+ years and the community a place to discuss actual articles.

When I was younger, I’d have thrown my support behind this.

Now that I’m older and world-wiser, I’m much less on board with that. Cannabis? Fine. Heroin? Whatever, you do you. Cocaine? Absolutely not. Not that I’m against cocaine, it’s just that people on cocaine are really, really annoying.

I have no idea but they keep making them thinner for…reasons?

My personal “sweet spot” is the OnePlus 3. Not too tall, thin but not unbearably so, and doesn’t sacrifice anything for headphone jack and a decent size battery. Though if I had a choice between “thin” and “removable battery”, I’d take the extra thickness required for the battery cover in a heartbeat. I’d also accept several more mm of thickness if they want to include a slide-out keyboard.

Agh. Beat me to it. 😆

This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.

First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there’s the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

There’s options, yes. Ubuntu Touch is getting better.

AFAIK, the main bottleneck (aside from hardware support) is a working open source IMS stack. IMS is the IP Multimedia Subsystem that is responsible for things like VoLTE/VoWIFI, SMS/MMS, etc. The last time I looked at Ubuntu Touch, it only supported baseband (not sure if that’s the right term?) calls and SMS/MMS. Basically those only work in “3G” mode and won’t work if your carrier requires VoLTE.

Lack of an open source IMS is also problematic for some other Android distros as well (and why flashing a newer GSI ROM to an older handset won’t necessarily give you VoLTE).

And don’t even get me started on the complete fustercluck that is RCS 😠

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

Until she crawls out for a presidential run in 2028…

Now, that’s not fair. Come on!
