It’s not so much technobabble, but from mid-TNG on through DS9 and VOY it seemed that, at least once per episode, “Some kind of…” was used to describe anything new.

I wouldn’t know I blocked it immediately.

And nothing of value was lost to the HexBear instance.

FlorianSimon ,

You guys are somewhat still mad that the censorship of defederation has cut you off from an influx of newcomers to influence. And your tears are absolutely delicious.

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Hexbear has been around for 4 years, unfederated. They only started slowly federating around 10 months ago.

At least try to be honest.

FlorianSimon ,

Yeah, and they’re mad that the sane fediverse didn’t let them spread. That was the point. Your message is not a gotcha 😁

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

They aren’t mad though, they enjoy the instances they are federated with and are happy they defederated sh.itjust.works and that Lemmy.world “pre-emptively as a last resort” defederated them before even federating.

Having a dedicated Leftist space without constant liberalism is nice.

FlorianSimon ,

I can understand how having you own space is enjoyable, but you won’t convince me that you don’t care that your influence has been contained. Otherwise you wouldn’t feel the need to defend your instance so hard here, going as far as brigading other communities en masse?

You want anyone to believe you don’t care about being deplatformed? Stop acting like you actually care.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

My Lemmy.ml account is my older account, I’m defending Hexbear from misinformation right-wingers are spreading.

It isn’t “deplatforming” if Hexbear has always been self-sufficient and started platforming with other instances.

FlorianSimon ,

It is, because they tried federating and they were denied access.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

The platform was never there, lmao. It isn’t deplatforming. Hexbear has a democratic federating process that takes longer.

FlorianSimon ,

And you guys won’t reach any mainstream audience to spread your bile. Sorry!

archwizard , to android in Card Emulator/Alternative NFC payment options.

You’re not gonna have much luck. If you’re able to clone these kind of cards, its an honest security vulnerability and should be reported.

As an alternative, I’ve seen people suggest using a smartwatch, like the Garmin ones, that have a “wallet”.

x00za , to nostupidquestions in Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?

Well, you aren’t really talking about gaming on Linux. You’re talking about running Windows games on Linux. Wine and Linux are absolutely amazing for gaming, but it’s mostly up to the developers at this point.

About waht you are saying about Anno; I have a feeling you’re not fully understanding Wine/Proton and how it works. By learning a bit about it you’ll probably start to understand what actually is not working. A good place to start is always the ProtonDB page.

Linux is beating Windows in some gaming benchmarks btw :)

Mandy OP ,

whats the difference between gaming on linux and running windows games on linux? isnt both of them gaming on linux

protondb as good as a resource it may be, i tried it often, with anno 1404 too, but i honestly dont recall tweaks there ever working for me (for games rated to be running of course, i dont try games that are rated in the red naturally)

I see that linux is pretty good in benchmarks and i believe it so too, however, that is not the case for me and im at a point where im torn between “something is wrong with me and my setup” and “what voodoo is everyone else using that they arent telling me?”

index ,

There are games that are native to linux that run just fine

some_guy , to cat in Someone dumped her, soaking wet, in the lobby of a restaurant today

What an awesome, empowering name! She’s a queen for sure. You’re right to keep them separated as a precaution. Let them get used to one another’s scents and monitor their integration.

Thank you for rescuing this kitty. I predict a happy life based on your actions so far. You’re being thoughtful about how to bring her into your home and that’s awesome.

Who the hell dumps a kitty in a restaurant? What a strange beginning.

Once again, I love that you chose that name. I instantly recognized it and did a web search to confirm. Hello fellow history nerd!

grue , to startrek in Worst examples of Treknobabble

JJ-Trek, hands down. From “red matter” to interstellar transporter beams to Khan’s magic blood.

The reason it’s so bad is that it’s fucking plot holes galore. By the end of Star Trek (2009), starships are obsolete. By the end of Into Darkness, everyone should be immortal.

Treknobabble is supposed to serve the plot, but this shit undermines the entire premise instead. It’s ridiculous!

themoken ,

Meh, Trek is always terrible at following up after the big movie action. Aging is reversible if Insurrection is canon. Literal resurrection has been possible since at least Khan. Time travel is routine in Voyage Home. None of it makes sense outside of the context of the movie, they’re basically their own canon even before JJ.

Let’s not forget the “cold” fusion bomb that froze lava.

Thebeardedsinglemalt ,

What blew my mind about that whole intro is they hid the entire ship UNDERWATER AT THE SHORELINE with a severe risk of damage to the local terrain and sea life instead of, you know, being in orbit.

It was bound to happen eventually. I’ve also been exhausted with the vegan drama bullshit. It’s completely unproductive, and, at this point, rage bait.

The Taliban is more of a product of Pakistani ISI than the CIA.

The kicker is ISKP is largely made up former collaborators of the occupational government.

GooberEar , to nostupidquestions in Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee?

Edit: I need to see what dried beans I have and maybe go shopping. I will give this a try with a couple different types of beans and report back if I fart or not.

Hope you have some alpha-galactosidase at your disposal.

The simplified explanation: A reason beans give some people gas is due to certain types of sugars and carbohydrates they contain. Those sugars are water soluble. Seems like brewing beans would concentrate those sugars and lead to epic tootage.

Also, one method for reducing how much gas that beans cause is to soak them in lots of water. Basically, soak them for up to 8 hours, drain, rinse, and repeat a couple more times. It works on the same principal, that the soaking process will remove at least some of the problematic, water soluble sugars. Supposedly adding a small amount of baking soda helps, too. I’m less certain about that.

BearOfaTime ,

I think Alton discusses this on Good Eats, and a long soak doesn’t really make a difference (according to him).

He did have a solution, I just don’t recall. May have been baking soda.

GooberEar ,

Oh, if Alton said that then it must be true. Who’s Alton?

scutiger ,

Alton John, a famous musician who sings about food.

GooberEar ,

Any relation to Elton? He sings about food sometimes, too.

BearOfaTime ,

I told you, Good Eats. I wasn’t ambiguous. And he gives chemistry reasons why.

He has a food chemist that explains things.

So stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.

Also aren’t kidney beans highly poisonous when consumed dried?

trxxruraxvr ,

Yes, many beans are, but kidney beans more than most. They need to be soaked and cooked for a significant amount of time to neutralize the toxins.

spittingimage ,
@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

How bad are the toxins? How sick will they make you?

trxxruraxvr ,

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_bean#Toxicity

As few as five raw beans or a single undercooked kidney bean can cause severe nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pains.

I also use Iceraven. I think, apart from Smart cookiewebpreview, it’s the only one that allows for extension sideloading.
