Technology@lemmy.zip•Microsoft fixes broken Windows update days after vowing fewer broken updatesEnglish
2·12 days agoI think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.
AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.
AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite bit of childlore?English
1·26 days agoOccam’s razor probably points to having access to graph paper in school and connecting corners.
Why an S?
That all has to do with Cthulu as S is widely known as his favorite letter.
Clonezilla can do that for you. Very easy, very reliable.

Dont cheap out on anything that keeps you off the ground. (Tires, shoes, mattress etc)
I would like to plug Mailo. Its explicitly privacy focused, has a free tier and even has child inboxes with more restrictions. Its like $75 per year and I have had nothing but great luck with it.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•35 Years Ago, Star Trek Retroactively Created New Canon, And No One NoticedEnglish
1·2 months agoI would say that a war like that suddenly coming up isn’t that insane. In the real world I think about Desert Storm.
Short armed conflict, lots of Americans and Iraqis died. Did it to fight a dictatorship. But 10 years later by it wasn’t a thing that just came up every day on the news. (Iraq 2 notwithstanding that suddenly made it all the more relevant). But my point is that there was a war in the 90s that affected a ton of people but after a while, it wasn’t constantly in everyone’s mind.
Is it a big change, absolutely. But so were the Klingons makeup in The Motion Picture, and the Klingons being good guys.
But if suddenly no women were allowed in starfleet or slavery was cool as long as its XYZ race, that would be a continuity change that affects the world not in a retconny way but in a way that fundamentally changes the kind of show that it is.
If you want to make a sci fi show where Earth has been taken over by sexist slavers to tell a very compelling and gritty story about human nature, maybe dont make a Star Trek show.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•35 Years Ago, Star Trek Retroactively Created New Canon, And No One NoticedEnglish
31·2 months agoI guess I’m not sure what the title is getting at.
The article is about the first episode featuring the Cardassians and how they mention the Cardassian war that took place directly before the series currently in progress.
Honestly the point of the article seems to be that changing canon is secondary to telling a really compelling sci-fi allegory story.
A great way to not have to worry a lot about canon is to move far into the future or to go farther into the past.
I don’t really care if they introduce a new thing that wasn’t mentioned before, I get more grouchy about them introducing stuff that directly contradicts really important stuff established in the show. Like “turns out the paradise on earth was bullshit all along” for instance.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICEEnglish
631·2 months agoRemember kids, murder is against the law. So, if ICE tries to murder you like they did those 2 other people just say, “thats illegal”.
They will have no choice but to stop murdering you.











Some people would stand for that sort of thing but frankly I can’t imagine why…
