I hope you enjoyed your 136 000 year nap.

Oh, and I have some… news about the state of the world. You may want to sit down for this

The way I interpreted it was that the cat did not like the horn, ie. the owner’s in that ambulance.

Ah, nice, some actually good criticism. I wasn’t 100% sold on the claims but it seemed like there’s some merit to it, but the “superconductor” stuff really does make the whole thing seem a bit iffy

Unlike meteorites, which are small and only contain trace amounts of aluminum, these wrecked spacecraft are huge and consist entirely of aluminum and other exotic, highly conductive materials.

Somebody asking “why is everyone praising it?” isn’t looking for “help”

Growing some bittercups?

Weeelll, not everything, but not nothing either 😁

Ew, don’t reich-wing tears taste bitter?

Right-wing dickheads definitely are screeching about the show being “woke”, though

Should be pretty obvious that I’ve liked it, but here’s yet another shocker: nobody’s under any obligation to justify why they like something, even if you don’t.

I know this may come as a shock, but people can have different opinions on things.

Hey I still get impressed by smartphones and I’ve had one for almost 20 years now. I also remember when the emscripten LLVM-to-asm.js compiler came out which was one thing that allowed people to compile pretty surprising things for browsers, and I definitely still get impressed by the fact that we can emulate old systems in our web browsers which were absolutely not intended for that.

Ha, that’s interesting. In some sense you’ve been a part of the history of computing.

Glad you liked the video! You might also enjoy Alexander’s video about how the Apollo Guidance Computer got turned into the world’s first digital fly-by-wire system: Digital Fly-By-Wire: The Apollo Guidance Computer’s final gift to the world

Now this is the sort of nerdery I come to Lemmy for.

It’s been so long since I last read the books that I didn’t even remember this. I’ll have to pick them up again, at least once I finish slogging through Dune and Dune Messiah… I love the worldbuilding and the political intrigue, but otherwise they can be a bit meh
