Later versions tried to counteract that by making it more a moving 3d thing of the original, LCARS-inspired interface. Incidentally that also was when I got sick of it.

The older I get, the more I would agree with that statement. Tech and business grads without a classical humanities side-education tend to become the worst people, hyperspecializinh on things that maximise profits at the cost of human suffe

In all fairness, there is some old information I would love to disappear eventually. Nothing quite as frustrating than having a question and all the tutorials are for a version of a software that is 15 years old and behaves completely diffe

Hm, I am trying to consolidate my toolchain these days. This is neat, but not 'I need another program running / another website in my life' neat. If you make an Obsidian plugin, I'd happily pay for that.

In a sense, that is what happened in Germany in the last 20 years or so, when people looked into the doctoral titles of politicians. Turns out: it did not change anything. Even in cases where the universities revoked the titles, politicians

All this will result in is Reddit secretly taking over these subreddits, take out the mods and give them to "trustworthy" people. They will first ask nicely, and if you don't bend over, they will do so anyways. I know it beca

Documents have a habit of burning to ashes if they have a chance of becoming evidence. What this is referring to is the relative immunity Unit 731 got post-war in exchange for research results being handed over, which is a well-known histor

How about the time when American pregnant women were given "vitamin cocktails" by their doctors which turned out to be radioactive to see if radioactive particles would be passing the placenta barrier? [1] Or this Syphillis study?

Keiji Nishitani: What is religion? Might be „Religion and Nothingness“ in your translation. Nishitani describes religion as a phenomenon from the philosophical Zen Buddhist perspective of the Kyoto School.

Why have a heating unit for food at all if we can all survive on gruel at room temperature? "You don't need it, so you can't have it" is a dangerous argument.

Only low-key, though. A sysadmin not monitoring authlog / admin-mail is a huge security smell. The fact that our infrastructure STINKS of this is one of the major indications we do not take security seriously.

We'll see. China has been just about to invade Taiwan for 40 years, or longer. That being said: Russia was relatively little intertwined with our (= European and American) economies. That's a different situation with the PRC. I th

We had that in the 1980s as well. No-one remembers "The Brother from Another Planet" (1984) ... but everyone remembers "E.T." (1982). Similarly, the Marvel stuff will mostly shrink together into obscurity, while actual g
