Selective rage
  • I feel I half agree with you. The other half of me thinks, there's a lot of things we change for an actor acting a character. After all, it's an actor, playing a character. Someone called Ben can play a guy called John; your grumpiest aunt can play a sweet grandma; often we have actors in their 30s and 40s playing ternagers and 20s; and men playing women even used to be a thing.

    I think you have a good point, but I also think it's okay to have an acceptable disconnect of, this is people acting out a story, not the real thing happening in front of me.

  • Selective rage
  • I really liked the Little Mermaid live action

    Really? Nice to hear someone liked it! Till now I only heard negative things about it - about plot, character, etc. Never heard anyone complain about skin colour, only people complaining about other people complaining.

  • OKay, Right?

    Means having a chill attitude, especially when you screw up badly right in front of your supervisor.

    Public Key Infrastructure

    Means your offices are locked not by company private keys but by public statutes of the state, and a court order will make them unlock.

    (Or, less-commonly used)

    PacK it In

    Give up. Go home.

  • Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices
  • This would presumably let x86 windows games run on ARM hardware.

    Doesn't that require something quite different?

    Proton is improved (matured?) WINE, right? And Wine Is Not an Emulator - the point being it doesn't emulate hardware, it translates instruction sets. From for-Windows x86 to Linux x86. Can you do that cross cpu architecture?

  • Hammerheads sharkz
  • "They called him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning..." But Hammerhead is a baddie and sharks aren't supposed to be baddies any more. Sharks are friends, not threats. So Hammerhead slipped quietly into the distance to await his time of glory, when one day he will return to rule the Ocean with an iron fist head.

    Incidentally, dolphins have had a troubled role-reversal in the fashion of popular opinion too. They were friends! Companions! Even amusements for a while, before everyone agreed they should be free. Now they are wanton rapists and bullies. Shed a tear for the poor, maligned dolphin, carrying the disgrace of his ill-behaved friends and relations. All Dolphins Are Not Bad.

    One day the Bottlenose and the Hammerhead will return as friends, splendorous and loved. But will they find the World worthy of their love? Or will they leave, with a parting farewell, and a thanks for all the fish.

  • What do people here think of Nebula?

    I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

    Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

    I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

    1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
    2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

    makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

    Any thoughts? Insight?

    Frozen Pseudoscience

    I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?

    Ambridges Farm, or, There's More to Life Than Fishing

    Hi I've been gradually finishing my first and only-main farm, and wanted to share :-) It started as the central plaza and fish ponds (since I came to love fishing!) and grew from there. I was going to get all-seasons screenshots and post together, but that's going soo slowly; and, hey, content!

    Hope you like it! I think there's a little bit of just about everything there, and if you look closely you can see me sitting on a bench enjoying the flower garden. It's been single player until right at the end I added the 'guest lodges' to share with family and friends. I love how well they fit in places I hadn't planned!
