   Tumblr totally fucked its audience. Took a complete dump on it. Hopefully awesome blogs like Palm and Laser move to something like Mastodon and control their own destiny.

   So apparently the new Picard series is going to be set 30 years after the movie Nemesis. It will also involve the ramifications of the collapse of the Romulan empire, presumably due to the events in the Prime universe shown in the reboot movie.

   (becomes Doc Brown) But. Do. You. Know. What. This. Means?

   It means...I'll need to rewatch Nemesis, my 2nd least favourite ST movie which I have watched only...once (gasp).

   I know!

     @djsumdog @elomatreb I don't think the things happening next season are mycellium related. They can't kill the network but they could ban it's use, go all Omega Directive on it (woops, I'm not supposed to know about that.)

     @Omega_Molecule cool, I started reading a post DS9 book once nuts that's all, not sure if novels are considered canon.

     @Omega_Molecule @autismplusmath It feels mandatory to me, I like to revise what the character did last time we saw them after a long gap like this. I'll watch it, it's good to give them a chance again every once in a while. I somehow started watching "The Final Frontier" sometime recently and I couldn't get through it all. but I tried.

   My intention is to ship Potioneer for SteamVR Linux very shortly after the Windows version goes live. I love Linux and use it on all but one of my PCs (my VR dev machine).

   A lot of people complain about the quality of Viveport software but I haven't had any problem and it doesn't seem to hog resources. Maybe that's old news and they've fixed the issues?

   Rebooted Windows 10 and my Start button configuration is wiped all back to default tiles. What's the point of even customizing it again if it's just going to get wiped in the future?

    Can we talk about how most PS2 games don't output anything but 480i? :( I really wish the Dreamcast had won. It was a much better system.

    This is one of the most amazingly useful libraries available. It's amazing and works perfectly for reducing polycounts on either Meshes or MeshColliders. Incredible.

      @marxjohnson do you have some examples of good CLAs?

      • Mark

      @marxjohnson just gave it a read, it's better than most CLAs but imo it's still heavy handed. The same problem is solved more simply by, for example, Linux

      • skybrian

      @skybrian relicensing can be done without a CLA, you just need to contact the original authors, tell them the plan and obtain their consent, then rewrite any code from anyone who doesn't consent. Generally the latter camp is pretty small, if your cause is just. In the vorbis example, the argument is strong for encouraging the adoption of free codecs at the expense of loosening the license of the implementation.

    Spain court confirms jail sentence for former IMF chief Rato

    All possibilities of appeal are exhausted, one of the most high-profile bankers of Spain needs to go to jail now. This makes Spain only the second country (after Iceland) where any prominent banker were sent to jail following the 2008 financial crisis. What this article fails to mention, like all others I found, is that the trial and conviction was due to an unprecedented citzien's campaign (led by people such as Simona
    Levi), which raised funds, hired lawyers and organized leaks to gather evidence. More on this aspect in an (older) article in The Nation.

    Having a fast PC with a 37" ultrawide monitor is great and all, but for some reason I'm more productive on my cheap 13" Chromebook. :think_bread:

      @ayo I'm the same. I think it's because it's so easy to fall down the multitasking hole. Being tied to a small screen and short battery life really helps focus only on what's important.
