Star Trek TNG literally started with space jellyfish, too

The lady on the right might be a Sith!

I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don’t know of any other Moes.

Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years … I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can’t connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google’s old apps can still get live data without problems.

Yes, it’s a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.

It doesn’t have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it’s far newer than the old Android phone.

I can’t use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there’s nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.

I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.

For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.

Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.

Most of what’s held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I’ve never had with a PC. I’ve had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software

I dunno, I live in a little Catalan village that has suffered a bit from “España Vaciada”, life here is good and both me and my other half have integrated pretty well … but the house next to us has been bought by a German who rents it out on Airbnb and TBH it’s rather shit.

I’m fully on board with “tourists go home”. If we get more holiday let’s in the village we’re thinking of moving more inland.

Just what we need, libertarian ogres …

Thanks, it looks like a pretty diverse range!

What good native Linux ARM games are there?

Thanks! So far it’s really really good and everything works (the WM is so nice), except I can’t use HDMI from my laptop which might be a show stopper :-/

Ah ok, now I understand … though it’s not something that I’d get excited about I’m glad the idea has you feeling enthusiastic :-)

Apparently it already has the stuff I use, so full steam ahead for me! :-)

So, there’s another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?

Has anything that starts with an X been poisoned now? If I were xstore’s marketing department I’d feel a little on edge right now.

In other news this headline made me feel old, it took ,e a while to understand what it was trying to say

I just found Haiku R1 Beta 4 exists yesterday, and today read that it has an X11 API interpreter, so I’m going to give it a try over the weekend by chucking an old HDD in my laptop and running it natively … if it recognises my old laptop’s WiFi I’ll try it on a longer term basis :-)

Have I missed something? I’m writing this comment using Connect for Lemmy

Try Haiku, it’s the current open source version of BeOs (currently on it’s 4th Beta release) and it runs on x86 hardware.

Or what about just using a bare bones Linux as a wrapper for an emulator? Then you could try running something like Workbench 3.9 or MacOS 9, which makes browsing the web an interesting experience … plus, cute icons :-)

Kai trucks are made to fit within a size limit for vehicles in inner cities in Japan, as a result there’s a whole load of odd tiny vehicles still available today.

The closest we get in Europe now are the “heavy quadricycles”, but again they’re made for a specific legal niche (or for specific jobs, like the Aixam Mega Truck for things like park maintenance).

Either way, small vehicles are unfortunately unsafe because there’s no crumple zones, so outside of slow-burning town centers they’re a bad idea (and in town centers it’s better to not have cars at all) so we’re unlikely to see more cute tiny vans in the future … except for things like the electric truck you saw, which can cover commercial needs in zero emissions areas, but again specialised use.
