  • Solitude After Hours

  • Nice! I might try this as a lock screen background.

  • I never had problems with permission again after I know the real power of sudo

    Jump

  • Getting flashbacks of me trying to explain to a mac user why using sudo "to make it work" is why he had a growing problem of needing to use sudo... (more and more files owned by root in his home folder).

  • No matter how crooked a mirror is, it always shows you a straight image.

    Jump

  • Here's a hint: if a mirror truly did not flip anything, then when you looked into a mirror you would see your back, and it also does not "rotate" you. So how can you see your front?

    A plane has a "normal" (a direction coming "out of the mirror"), and it basically flips things in that direction (front to back). It might help the understanding (and possibly the creepiness factor) to consider just the outer few atoms of your hair/skin that reflects light... and you are roughly seeing that, in the mirror in the same orientation that it actually is IRL if it were pushed into the mirror...

  • Stride and Speed

    Jump

  • I imagine this would be so bone-jarring that none of the... jockeys (?)... would have teeth.

  • No matter how crooked a mirror is, it always shows you a straight image.

    Jump

  • There was a time that i was really confused as to why a mirror regardless of orientation would change left-hands to right, but not transpose heads and feet (or the like)...

  • What is something that instantly makes someone unattractive?

    Jump

  • Mirror selfie showing they use an iPhone, or if they are making that ironic "duck face".

  • People who use non-QWERTY keyboards: what do you use?

    Jump

  • Ortholinear Dvorak.

  • Liberux NEXX Is a New (Still in Development) Linux Phone

    Jump

  • I hope the emphasis on wireless display tech doesn't mean they are skimping on usb-c video out. That is the only bugger I currently see.

  • Isn't sailfish proprietary?

  • Not misgendering people can be easy :3

    Jump

  • Thanks, that helps. That's not the context/situation that I was imagining.

  • Not misgendering people can be easy :3

    Jump

  • I'm not 100% sure I get this. Is the point the added effort/latency/overhead, too many neopronouns, or that someone might change their gender on a daily/hourly basis?

  • Hammer-fired spells

    Jump

  • Does that qualify her as a technomage?

  • Time to go shopping...

    Jump

  • Come to think of it... it's also addressed in TNG when the guy from the past calls the captain on the intercomm, and says something like "if I was not supposed to use it it should have a lock/code".

  • Time to go shopping...

    Jump

  • I can get the perspective behind the last one (unauth access). Coming from a closed society it may be unthinkable for someone without authority or authorization to perform an action "unauthorized by the authority", but in an open society the mindset would be quite different. Much as we might without thought throw a light switch without expecting authorization, or maybe like the hoplophiles that don't want an electronic lock on their weapons, perhaps what they optimize for (i.e. their security model) could be for even an extreme case such as if "the only survivor" is one unbadged civilian with no bridge/engineering knowledge needing to control the ship (and even weapons) with the usual security case simply being that the bridge/engineering is a secured by persons/staff... IIRC, even knowing who performed such an action is a distant secondary concern (in Voyager it is said that control panels try to log who uses them be the comm badge present), but I know of at least two cases where command-and-control was locked: one in TNG by data (which is presented as quite an exceptional workflow), and one shuttlecraft in DS9 by O'Brien (which might be more of a consideration for scouting operations... to help ensure one has a vehicle to come back to). Conversely, it seems far more frequent that the computer denies access to data in defense of another's personal privacy.

  • ssh reverse tunnel

    Jump

  • You might be looking for the "ssh socks proxy" option (-D?).

  • Why aren't computer monitors more commonly square, specifically in the workplace?

    Jump

  • I imagine it has to do with binocular vision. If each eye sees roughly a circle, overlapping roughly makes a landscape rectangle. So perhaps that aspect ratio and orientation just "feels" better?

  • is love

  • What happened to his ass?

  • What is your go-to slow or pressure cooker meal that has under 5 ingredients?

    Jump

  • Salsa chicken. It's chicken, a bit of taco seasoning, then salsa. Cooked for 4 hours on high.

  • Rust? Like what's on some metals?

    Jump

  • It's that awkward language between C and Zig that (even decades after it's realized to be a false start) will take forever to die.
