How Apple became the king of sci-fi
  • @McBinary
    the resurrection fauna planet is in the +30 year timeline. The books didn't explore the mass loss much more than the show did (other than explaining how they gathered the data), but it was used as the core mechanic of the grand finale - exactly as it was in Babylon's Ashes.

  • @Ronno Watch it.
    The show ends in a completely logical place and wraps up that entire timeline near perfectly. It doesn’t feel like anything’s missing.
    The next three books are set 30 years later in another system. Same crew, wildly different everything else. That’s why they chose not to film them. It wasn’t just ‘ended early’

  • TIL about Blanche Monnier, a French woman who was kept locked in a small room for 25 years after she tried marrying someone her mother didn't like. She laid there in her own excrement, starving, for o
  • This is not the case, at all.
    She was completely insane in a manner wholly unrelated to her taste in menfolk or her mothers response to it. She was a massive coprophile and actively preferred living in her own filth. Marcel was also into poop and saw no reason to clean it up since it made her happy.@euphoria

  • I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
  • @atomicorange I've been kilt-only for two years now and the very idea of ever having to wear trousers again is outright horrible.
    I've also tried skirts, dresses. and women's things in general but holy crap most of it is just wildly uncomfortable and not remotely functional. The entire Western clothing industry is caught in a serious rut

  • This again: What distro are you using for gaming?
  • @jakwithoutac CachyOS, cos it supported RDNA3 on launch. It's since been easily the best I've ever used

  • Greens keep ignoring energy density and therefore land use to make the case for a "greener" 100% wind/solar/hydro grid
  • @Atom Nuclear is green energy. The problem green activists have is the massive cost of nuclear plants, the timescale of getting them active, and the security concerns of them merely existing.

    Your post is not only deeply & deliberately misleading (that's not what the comic says, even remotely), it's also wrong and stupid. Well done.

  • Image over processing
  • @Humanbiscuit this is quite painful to read. 90% of my photos are trees/nature, which mostly look ok but not great on iPhone X. I use Camera+ for macros, which is better than native but still horribly unreliable. I was looking at the 14 Pro for better shots, but based on your experience I may hold out & hope for the 15

  • Is Mac on the verge of a gaming revolution?
  • @0xtero Given how rapidly gaming on Linux has advanced since the introduction of Proton, it could be a lot closer than you think

  • Creatives of all kinds: check out this delightful list with dozens of FOSS creative tools for artists, photographers, film makers, game devs, musicians, and more!
  • @Books Yes. I use it as a writing tool - mostly for extensive notes, timeline and continuity. It takes a bit of figuring out but once you've got used to building a sensible notepad layout it becomes incredibly helpful

    @ADHDefy

  • Linux gamers, what distro are you currently on?
  • @nlm CachyOS. It's Arch based with a bucketload of performance tweaks & bespoke patches, including a kernel scheduler developed by distro maintainers. It also has a small but super-responsive community that tends to resolve issues quite rapidly
