Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!

Well that’s going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck

100 gross of self sealing stem bolts!

Soju is waaaay too easy to drink

Good luck (I mean that sincerely). I’ve heard it’s not terribly easy to move here if you’re not a recognised refugee. There was a lot of “I’m moving to Canada if the trumpet plays” talk in 2016, but I don’t think it resulted in any significant increase in Americans moving here.

I will say, as a Canadian, I and a number of my friends are considering moving away from Canada if America goes full totalitarian (which is looking likely, if not this election then the next). It’s essentially America-lite here now, but with a higher cost of living and lower salaries. Most of us are thinking New Zealand or Ireland.

There’s actually a Python-based framework that can make mobile apps called Kivy, but as you might expect it would not be terribly performant.

I don’t believe that’s possible. I think at one point there was a way to disable all access to the history API, but I don’t believe that option exists anymore. Additionally, it would break a lot of websites.

Unfortunately I think this is probably a result of the way YouTube implements their “auto play next video” feature, and they are unlikely to change that.

An option might be using an alternative YouTube front-end, rather than using the YouTube site, but I don’t have a lot of experience with those. (other people on here do though)

No. The API is correctly named, but I can see how it could be misleading (and concerning!)

That API allows websites to programmatically go somewhere in your history. It can go forward, back, or to a specific point in your history, but it can’t see what that history is, it can only go back 3 pages back or forward 2 pages for example. It doesn’t actually know the history, it just navigates to those points in history. So Google isn’t going to know that you were on Pornhub 3 pages ago, for example.

Hello again Mr. Stamets! ❤️

I haven’t seen this movie in a really, really long time, so I don’t remember what the dad actually looks like, but in this frame and at this angle he looks like a weird morph of Tommy Lee Jones and Bob Odenkirk

Haha also yearly for me. I have actually written a small utility in rust that interacts with mysql, but it was basically just transposing python to rust, plus it’s hacky as hell and I didn’t really learn anything.

I’ve stuck that rust book in the “one day” silo, along with the guitar, learning French, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep. One day.

Nice! Just in time for my yearly “I should finally learn rust” and then forget about it a week later habit.

This is extra entertaining because I doubt many people here know of MJF or his catchphrase, so without context you probably just seem nuts

To be fair, he is obligated to toe the line and regurgitate his talking points, otherwise the IDF might make him go to the front.

What if God’s real test is being able to think critically for yourself, not giving into idolatry (ie the church), and actually appreciating the message that Satan was trying to provide us? It’d be real awkward if the true entrants into heaven end up being not devout Christians, but free-thinking Satanists. 😁

He’d end up disappointed that her pussy doesn’t bubble during sex, anyway.

This is the kind of wholesome informative content I come to Lemmy for. Thank you for your service, sir!

Actually, wait, I have a question. How did your ball-hair feel aftwards? Did it help with testicular split ends?

I’m in awe of how confident you are.

Yeah a lot of stuff in Deep Space 9 is setup throughout The Next Generation, in a way it’s a spin-off of TNG. Lwaxana Troi is the mother of one of the main characters on TNG, for example. (random fact: the actor is also the widow of the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry). She also acted on the original series, but played a different character.

There is definitely a religious slant throughout the show, especially when it comes to the Bajorans or Sisko, but generally doesn’t act as a deus ex machina plot device. Okay I can think of one plot point of the top of my head where it’s a bit deus ex machina, but it’s still very enjoyable and arguably makes sense within the context of the entirety of the show. Overall I’d say the Bajoran / wormhole alien religion plays an important part in the show, but more for setting / theme and less for major plot points, and in episodes where it is a plot construct it is well done and makes sense in-universe, unlike some other shows I can think of (like Battlestar Galactica).

Have you been introduced to the Cardassian named Garak yet? In my humble opinion Garak (and Gul Dukat, whom you’ve already met) are some of the best characters ever written for TV. The character development over the seasons is organically great, for most of the characters, really.

There is an overall main story spread out throughout the show, which I think doesn’t really kick into full gear until season 4 I think? Deep Space 9 is different from the other Star Trek shows in that the other shows generally don’t have an overarching story, each episode is more or less self-contained, which made DS9 quite the radical contrast at the time it was released.

How far into Deep Space 9 are you? If you find it interesting now you’ll probably thoroughly enjoy seasons 5-7.

If you want to try watching the Patrick Stewart one (The Next Generation) I suggest starting with the pilot / first episode, then the season 2 episode “Measure of a Man” and then watch all episodes starting with season 3 onward. Keep in mind The Next Generation chronologically comes before Deep Space 9.
