They’re way more dangerous. The last time I was in a helicopter, the pilot kept trying to get us over a mountain ridge, but the low air density at that elevation kept causing the blades to be ineffective and would drop us. After a handful of tries, he gave up, and we went around.

I’ll probably never fly in one again.

How have I missed this news??

(actually, I don’t know whether to be excited or to dread this)

If I’m honest, it really feels like a LOT of media got suddenly worse some time in the 2010s in general. TV, movies, big budget games - I know enshittification is a thing in every industry, but it feels like there was a major quality drop in such a short period of time.

There are obviously some exceptions, but it’s like a switch was flipped, and my interest was gone. GoT was one that carried on for a while, but then it succumbed to it too.

Ha, this is exactly the one I had in mind with my comment. I’ve re-watched it many times.

If you’ve ever looked closely at a crow’s feathers, they have a bit of a sheen to them.

Me, trying not to talk about star trek in every unrelated thread:

Same. I really should watch it.

It was really, really good for so long. I’ve been tempted to rewatch it. Lots of series have terrible endings and are still enjoyable.

It’s amazing how strong the fandom for it still is. I realized that if I make it to 2066, I’ll have a favorite show that is 100 years old.

Pair it with TNG!

What did you play this on? It looks like Atari.

I’m very surprised too. I’m on Lemmy a lot. I’ve been using Linux full-time for nearly a year now and learning about open source projects. Somehow that term has just slipped under my awareness until now.

Amazing… Haha

I hadn’t seen it shared here, and I didn’t crop anything, this is one of the ways this meme must be circulating.

This is my first time seeing that term, and that’s pretty great.

I’m not a developer, so maybe I’m underestimating things, but these tools conceptually don’t seem like a hard thing to make.

Just a whitelist/blacklist of apps and similar for internet usage.

That’s the comic, but I’m not sure which issue the excerpt is from. I found this page circulating as-is.

There were a bunch of Futurama comics made back in the day. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link to online sources or not, but I just googled “futurama comics” and one of the first results looks like all of them on the Internet Archive.

That’s insane! How could any teachers think that’s acceptable?
