I know. Sadly, there had been a (by now degraded) sticker on top of the monitor which left a clearly visible discolouration that I believe requires a fairly aggressive retrobright to get rid of, which I'm afraid might damage the plastics.

I understood that to be the "Putty" colour of the Apple ][, not the "Platinum" colour Apple was supposedly using at this stage.

I have one (came with my display) and it works really well. Plus it’s safe for their nanotextured displays (which are sensitive to having their nanotexturing worn off by cloth that’s even mildly abrasive).

Floppies. So many floppies.

I’m a xennial. Though we were always a bit behind the curve (my first computer was a Philips XT clone, back in the early nineties), so I guess I’ve always been retrocomputing.

But yeah, it’s kind of shocking to see people being all nostalgic about stuff I consider newish.

(And I’m still cursing myself for throwing out my CPD-G420)

Interesting. I have the classic FSSK on order. How’s the keyfeel compared to, say, a model M?

Day can be seen holding the prime radiant as they leave the vault.

I had hoped Demerzel's origin would be kept a mystery for a little longer, with this episode only revealing her being found by Cleon I.

Seconded, fully. In addition, doing new things really helps: all the time I've been spending challenging myself and learning new skills has basically been keeping me mentally young and flexible.

!tallyho@infosec.pub for those who would like to remain in their own instance.

One idea to prevent tags being spammed would be to have them be moderated as well. Thoughts?

I'm 42 and same here.

Are fans of the other three-letter-company-made buckling spring keyboard (the model F) also welcome?

The actual video this article was based on

True. But she’s not as dark-skinned as the actor playing Loron (the mentalic on Ignis who initially telepathically presented himself as Hugo). That scene where we first see him didn’t feel right to me.

I think it’s pretty good. It had a lot more action than the first season, and a lot more intrige too.

I’d second disregarding any comment hammering on the difference between the books and the series, for the simple reason that having any female character, or any character that persists beyond half a season, already contradicts the books. Who would watch something like that?

I’m not too disturbed by the religious thing: that part is actually in the books. Plus a religious revival around a societal downfall is a well-known trope in science fiction (see eg. A Canticle for Leibowitz).

Also, and it pains me to have to say this, but it’s kinda racist at points: surprisingly often, violent roles are alotted to darker-skinned actors (like when Bel and Glawen landed on Siwenna, or when the Beggar’s Lament landed on Ignis), yet I don’t see any darker-skinned actors playing good guys (why did Ducem Barr have to be white?).

As I'm saying, I don't think you need to: manually subscribing to each trusted instance via ActivityPub should suffice. The pass/fail determination can be done when querying for known images.
