nerd into tech and 90s trek. I use it/they. net neutrality is a good thing, mental health is important, trans rights are human rights, all that jazz. RIP r/196 and related. Neo-luddite when it comes to ML/AI shiz.

When I was a kid, everyone loved the concept of small pickup trucks. They were cheap, they were proletarian, and they were easy to work on. Perhaps the perfect vehicle. Throw a few afternoons and a big bucket of kitty hair at it, and you were ready to join the mini-trucking revolution. And then, as revolutions tend to do, it ended.

Trucks had to get bigger, because profit margins had to get bigger. Ol' GM was in big trouble and wasn't digging themselves out of it by selling S-10s with plush velour interiors that cost seventeen dollars. So they hiked the price. Why buy a little truck, when it costs the same as a big truck?

Ford figured it out: they'd turn the little trucks into little SUVs, and then charge a shitload more money for 50% more roof. Now they're practical, efficient family vehicles that you don't expect to be cheap! It says "sports" right in the name! Give us seventy grand for the same Ranger we were selling, but now with an extra row of seats in the back and a sunroof. Once they hit upon that magic recipe, it was like throwing a bag of crack cocaine to the penguins at the zoo: a lot of fun, and then a deep sense of regret when you get caught. By then, the mini trucks were extinct.

Today, if you're good at searching, you can get a cheap mini truck. And with only several hundred hours of rust repair, rewiring, and general un-fuck-withinating, you can fix it. Your reward is a crappy forty-year-old truck that you will insist upon being buried with. Then you'll buy like ten more, chasing that high of teenage first-job mini-truckin'. We'll see you at the weird corner of the Princess Auto parking lot, where all the beat-to-shit Dakotas with amateur rust repair hang out.

being in a public discord server is like. god i hope they don't kill me with rocks. god i hope they don't kill me with rocks. god i hope they don't kill me with rocks. god i hope they don't kill me with rocks. god i hope they don't k

so like. language in trek. we’re presented with english almost exclusively for humans bc star trek is an american show (doylist) and because the universal translator changes any other languages to a language you can understand - english (watsonian) - but like. what about klingon? is the klingon that hoshi learned the equivalent of earth’s english? does klingon (the planet) have other languages?? how many different languages are there on vulcan? or bajor? or ferengi? surely earth cannot be the only planet with over 7 thousand languages. where’s my episode where the universal translators aren’t working and they’ve crash landed on a farm on ferenginar or some shit and so boimler proudly declares that he took ferengi as an elective in the academy and goes to talk to the farmer who… doesn’t speak a lick of the Official Ferengi they teach in the academy?? give me more language nonsense star trek

honestly being on the dev team for the universal translator seems like an amazing job. you get to go through and figure out which words and phrases merit translation and which are best left in their original form! sounds amazing

I’m not here to ask for donations. I’m here to say we’re still here, still breathing, still fighting, still refusing to disappear. In the darkest moments, knowing we’re not forgotten is everything. One reply, one small sign that someone out there cares, can pierce through the silence and remind us we matter. It’s not about charity, it’s about humanity. It’s about connection. It’s about hope.

Babby's 2st post :) modern tech is infuriating, and it was either this or I write a manifesto.

Hello followers, this post is a mini rant. Look at the reblogged post and look at the image provided. That is my phone, it is a white sony xperia 10 vi i got recently. It is what a smartphone should be from any respectful company. Look at the simplicity; no notches, no gimmicks, stays flat due to slim camera bump, has a headphone jack, micro sd card slot, side mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC and a bunch of workable specs. This thing costs $350 without discount. Please question the direction the phone industry is taking. Why did the iphone 15 have 6gb of ram? Why was the camera bump so big the thing wobbled like a 40 year old wooden table? Where is the headphone jack? Oh it makes it not waterproof? Well my guy up here has an ip68 certificate, so is it really not a skill issue? Why did we lose the sd card slot anyways? Seriously who uses dual sim anyways, just make it an sd card slot!!! Please for the love of god, me and humanity, do not purchase phones made to be less for more price. Research and get something you are ACTUALLY happy with.

We need more humanoid characters who are "kinda human" but not in the usual way, where this is a human but with some differences, and more along the lines of "this is a being that can look like anything and it's trying to look human but not very hard and it only vaguely knows what a human even is"

Submitter's Note: Flood is a post-rock composition depicting a tsunami. The segments are all untitled. Some variations of the cover art include a logo for the band based off of the one seen on Welsh proto-metal band Budgie's album Never Turn Your Back on a Friend.
