Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is a pretty great community if you’re into movies and tv. It’s where a lot of the regulars from moviesandtv@lemmy.film went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.

I buy nearly everything generic but generic Band-Aids have terrible adhesive so I always buy name brand.

Yeah, this is a case of a brand that’s been subject to trademark genericization where the knock-offs and generic products genuinely aren’t as good.

Yeah, Mastodon is much larger than Lemmy yet it feels like shouting into the void. I like it as a means to keep up on news by following journalists who’ve fled twitter but I’ve yet to get any real interaction on my posts. Meanwhile on Lemmy I’m never running out of things to read and people to discuss posts with.

Yep, but jeez, Magazine is a pretty terrible name for what it’s attempting to describe… Don’t get me wrong, they can call their communities whatever the hell they want but it feels like they’re bending over backwards to avoid saying ‘community’ only to settle on a name that doesn’t even make sense. Magazines are something meant to be consumed, they’re a one way street. Communities on the other hand are a place where you’re ideally both reading and contributing. Lemmy/kbin doesn’t work without active users contributing content and joining discussions. At least reddit’s jargon had some logic to it reddit -> subreddit aka sub-community on reddit.

I’d say, ‘your employees have options. They’re not resources to control,’" Houston told Fortune when asked about what message he had for CEOs who believed in return-to-office mandates.

“You need a different social contract and to let go of control. But if you trust people and treat them like adults, they’ll behave like adults. Trust over surveillance,” he added.

“But but but you can’t just treat the servants like people who are capable of completing their responsibilities while managing their own time! What if they finish their work early or take an extra ten minutes at lunch?! Sweet lord, what if they aren’t jiggling their mouse enough??!! Time theft is the most heinous crime in human history!!!1!”

- Every other CEO and corporate media stooge for the last three years

I love it when a movie about hackers shows that the good guys get around town on rollerblades whereas the bad guy rides a skateboard. That way the audience clearly understands that he’s evil.

Unfortunately it’s only been done once, in the 1995 classic film “Hackers.”

Yep, we’re about six months away from Elon Musk personally hawking snake-oil diet supplements and survivalist gear to doomsday preppers a lá Alex Jones. Heck, once Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings are finished, Elon can just buy out his stock, cross out Info and sell them as “ElonWars Supplements.”

Certainly not the Event Horizon 😈

“I’ll take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I’m satisfied she’s vaporized. Fuck this ship!”

What if it had continued?

Tarzan

Computer, determine how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop and if any owls try to interfere with the experiment kill them on sight.

Elon’s gonna end up like the tech CEO “Eron Keen” in Upgrade (2018). He’s gonna be some rogue AI’s bitch.

firefox: crashes randomly when opening some video in fullscreen

If a “random” crash is enough to convince you to abandon Firefox and go back to Chrome that’s just on you.

Alexandrite is everything the Reddit desktop redesign should’ve been. How they managed to fuck that up is beyond me.
