  • Yeah it is a beta, but the actual final update that was released lacked that gyro functionality over 2.4ghz that was in the beta. So yeah, you kinda do need to "downgrade".

    Hopefully they do release an update with that functionality enabled one day but it's been well over a year now and they don't even officially provide that beta version anymore. So it's not looking hopeful.

  • The 8bitdo ultimate you linked to is great. To be clear I have only used it with Windows.

    But if you get it there is a hitch that's not made clear anywhere- in order to use on 2.4ghz mode (with the dongle) with gyro enabled, you need to downgrade the firmware to an old beta version 8bitdo doesn't host anymore. Someone uploaded it to google drive in that reddit thread I linked to.

  • I don't disagree, but discoverability is important. On the flipside there are so many times in FOSS world where I've actively looked for a tool for months, only to give up and then months later have someone randomly mention it in a thread where I discover it has existed for years.

  • Star Trek (derogatory)

    I can feel what this means in my gut

  • Asking an llm to do things it’s particularly bad at and being surprised that it isn’t good at it that the company that makes it says it's really, really, good at it.

    This image isn't making fun of GPT, it's making fun of the people who pretend GPT is something it's not.

  • This is the second time Book’s extrasensory abilities have been the key to solving one of the clues, the first being in “Jinaal”.

    Yeah he's gonna die in the finale isn't he

  • Oh no I didn't realize it had ended! Maybe someone else will pick it back up.

  • Or Nativefier (which uses electron) but with a nice GUI.

  • Mint or Zorin for those with windows experience, Ubuntu for those used to Macintosh, are all great "just works" distros. Don't overthink it, OP!

  • This is really cool, it would be nice to have some quick options like start minimized or minimize to tray.

  • I have trouble believing that last bit. My Mastodon feed is always extremely full of scientists and Mastodon has almost 3x the active users that BlueSky does.

  • Especially in this season it so obvious how Tilly’s intelligence manifests in being able to bypass entire complexes of prejudice and social norms (perceived and unconscious, spoken and unspoken) whether they be human or alien, and get right to the point with somebody. In an organization that is constantly trying to establish trust with a variety of unknown actors, Tilly is an incredible asset.

    Very well said!

  • I picked "Doomsday Machine" but Corbomite Maneuver is also really good. Classic in multiple senses of the word.

  • Good point! I forgot that it was mostly the two of them on the planet. It is also somewhat unusual in that there is no distinct B-plot. The events that take place in orbit are directly related.

  • Ironically, being a comedy episode it's not very representative!

  • Sometimes I think Star Trek did Sub Rosa just to prove they didn't need to include their usual copius amounts of nudity in order to create something extremely erotic.

    It's like the story about how Hitchcock didn't give "The Birds" a soundtrack after someone said his movies were only scary because of the music.

  • This is a great question. I like to recommend Data's Day for newbies because he sort of goes around and introduces every character, but it's a pretty unconventional episode.

    I think I would go with "Doomsday Machine"!

    That said, I also think Darmok would be a good fit too, the concept itself is unique in that as far as I know it's the first it was used in science fiction, but the manner in which the concept is presented "Enterprise crew encounters a problem that can't be solved with guns or technology" is pretty darn representative.
