  • But it shows a problem; in most sci-fi not only are all the aliens 1.8 meters tall with five fingers and a larynx that can mimic human speech, they all come from world's with a 24 hour day.

    Yeah! Lamp-shading this trend is one of the ways that Farscape shines.

    While Farscape is still frequently guilty of this trope, it's fun that at least the human main character is often scolded by peers for his human-anatomy-centric biases.

  • is there a way to move commit out of the way Todo later?

    This is what cherry-pick does for me. Now that the work is all done, I can cherry-pick the commits into the new branch in any order I find convenient (and often in an order that causes fewer git conflicts, or no git conflicts to resolve.)

    Note that this approach is much stronger if the original commits are fairly focused and purposeful.

    In extreme cases, I stop and rebase the new or old branch to clean up the commits before I cherry-pick them onto the same branch.

    In essence, all of these techniques are just ways for me to very slowly and methodically organize thoughts, using git.

    Also, sometimes it's all too messy and I just copy and paste all the change I need into a fresh clean branch.

  • Lol. We need to advertise "The Bender Gambit" more aggressively in our welcome materials. It really is part of what makes this place(s) great.

    I'll be sure to do that when I make my own instance, with blackjack and hookers.

    And you know what?! Forget the instance .

  • Yeah. That's the part that billionaires and health CEOs should be thinking more about. Plumbers with exceptional jumping ability are being created at a rate that should alarm them, in exchange for amounts of difference on the billionaire's net worth that they'll never even notice.

    Social safety nets make everyone win, even the billionaires. We just have an exceptionally stupid crop of billionaires.

  • I want to protest, but if I miss work then I might lose my job

    Great point.

    A better option is to find and join your local union. You can do it quietly, and it might save your job someday. Even if it doesn't, it'll absolutely get you paid and treated better.

  • Yeah.. Citizens United was a big coup for billionaires to put their thumb harder on the scales of injustice. I'm not sure any of this gets better while the billionaires aren't terrified for their lives.

  • Just to be clear, the person answering Flatpaks isn't being flippant. Any tools, editors or games that Mom wants, she can safely install by searching and clicking 'intall', all without enough permissions to harm her computer.

    Linux, for less technical parents, is genuinely really nice, now.

  • Yeah. I'm still looking for a good answer to create. There's a huge number of technology mods in Luanti, but I haven't found one with the same maturity, yet. If I find one that's close, I may fork and update it, yet.

    I think I'm most of the way to having AE2 replaced, for my needs, using Pipeworks and SWRobots.

  • The ones old enough to be aware of him are aware of the standard "we don't take money from, or give money to billionaires" advice - for their own protection.

    In addition, I've encouraged my kids not to stand too close to anyone who spends too much time doing "fuck around", just in case that's the day that person reaches "find out", and there's collateral damage.
