- Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra: Two parties coming together in mutual struggle
- Temba, his arms wide: An act of giving or generosity
- Shaka, when the walls fell: Failure or destruction.
In other words, in the Fediverse, you can offer content to different instances, and if another instance is bad, you can defederate. Tamarian requires a bit of context to make sense. (and that’s why I’m a nerd, Your Honor)
I never thought Saturn’s rings would be so lustrous compared to the planet itself. What a gorgeous photo!
This was a really great article! Thank you!
Exactly. I didn’t learn multiplication tables, but instead, my teachers taught what multiplication was and how to do it. Sure, after practicing how to do it I memorized a lot of basic math facts, but it was more important that I understand what I was doing rather than just knowing that 9×5=45. Then again, my parents saw the sorry state of public schools (both teachers) and made sure that I was sent to a decent private school after seeing the travesty of the local public school’s reading curriculum.
I think it’s taking a shot at Twitter primarily but starting the EEE on Mastodon, Pleroma, etc. Lemmy/Kbin is not entirely safe, but not in the direct line-of-fire from what I can tell.
Yeah, you’re right on a lot of chatbots just being paraphrased responses from the support database, but for a lot of people, that’s all they want or need. There are a great number of people who just don’t want to read the entire article to find their answer. For that, I don’t really mind chatbots because I get the use case. What I hate is when there isn’t an option to go to the next tier of support without going in circles forever with the stupid bot.
Also a licensed ham here (though no real HF experience). @lchapman has a good point about the latency being only a fifth, but HF is pretty low data rate still. The ionosphere is not ideal, so error correction would need to be put in place, further lowering the datarate. The only thing I can think of is that they would do something with more bandwidth maybe? But why? So some fat cat can trade at just slightly faster than the competition? This seems irresponsible.
Wow. That’s really sad. He was responsible for the best of Enterprise. Everything I read about him was that he was a good, stand-up guy who had a true love for Star Trek. He’ll definitely be missed.
After leaving my (very conservative) home, and going back every so often and talking to my family, I think this is it. Especially for the older ones, I get a sense of regret from them that they didn’t live how they wanted or couldn’t do what they wanted. Since they don’t want to blame themselves and/or the culture, they blame their vilified minority du jour. It’s sad really. Going home and talking to my parents always just makes me sad about how I can tell they have some pretty big regrets about taking the “expected” path.
