It should be regulated.
Lockely@pawb.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Shrinkflation hits IKEA Family by removing 5% discountEnglish121·2 years agoConsider they’re a 30+ mile, hour+ drive away, this is giving me even less of a reason to go, and I happen to like Ikea. But free coffee isn’t going to remotely make up for my gas mileage, so I guess I’ll continue to shift my furniture needs elsewhere. =/
Lockely@pawb.socialto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x10 "Old Friends, New Planets"English11·2 years agoIt’s also important to note that our LD crew are all bridge crew. We’ve seen that they have shifts at the helm and engineering/science/ops stations regularly, so putting them in charge really isn’t that big of a stretch if the senior staff need to be off-ship for the more important role of the mission. They’re basically babysitting the Cerritos and fending off hails from Starfleet.
Lockely@pawb.socialto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x09 "The Inner Fight"English21·2 years agoTo play it all out: why the heck is Nick Locarno flying around in a little ship capable of disabling the systems on larger warships, transporting(?) the ships and crews to some planet while leaving wreckage behind?
He’s not. He’s making deals with the lower deckers of those ships to make it look like his ship can do all that. They say in the episode that the lower deckers of the kidnapped crews are disabling the shields and weapons. Then he makes off with the crews and some of their technology for reasons yet unknown, abandoning the command staff on planet Knife Rain to fend for themselves.
It's really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it's missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.
It’s definitely both. A lot of folks don’t understand that insects and shellfish are similar, and I’ve yet to see “product may contain insect meal / aggravate shellfish allergies” on things that have crickets or are processed in facilities that handle insect meal. So, the FDA likely needs to catch up. But, it’s also a cheap filler protein that’s easily grown, and companies are cheap bastards, so it’s going to slowly find its way in and push out more expensive protein options.
I do sincerely worry about insects being added as filler materials as time goes on. I have a shellfish allergy, and the same allergens that exist in the shells of shellfish also exist in most insects.
Lockely@pawb.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many of you are using ChatGpt to help you with your work, and not telling your boss/co-workers?English44·2 years agoI’ve played around with it for personal amusement, but the output is straight up garbage for my purposes. I’d never use it for work. Anyone entering proprietary company information into it should get a verbal shakedown by their company’s information security officer, because anything you input automatically joins their training database, and you’re exposing your company to liability when, not if, OpenAI suffers another data breach.

Lockely@pawb.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Pokémon Sleep: Japanese walkthrough site lists “sleeping pills” as a tool for real competitive sleepers, but quickly backtracks19·2 years agoI still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.
Lockely@pawb.socialto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to Feature First-Ever Star Trek Musical Episode | SDCC 20237·2 years agoYes, I too want the same old rehashes of 60s and 90s Trek plots so we can have full series burnout in record time.
Star Trek is a place to tell stories. Some of those stories involve weird shit. “Weird,” as Janeway says to Kim after he comes from a cloned version of the ship where everyone he knows and loves just died in a self-destruct explosion, “is part of the job.”
Lockely@pawb.socialto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x06 "Lost In Translation"English6·2 years agoAs we all know, operational security is Starfleet’s #1 priority.
I have to imagine there’s a seedy bar in San Francisco where all the Chief Security Officers meet up to bitch about how no one ever listens to their recommendations but its their asses who get chewed out when the ship gets so easily taken over on a weekly basis.

Lockely@pawb.socialto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x05 "Charades"English4·2 years agoThe last episode on Rigel VII was shot in front of the Holodeck (what the call Trek’s AR Wall) and it was breathtakingly good. The emptiness was likely part of the point with this species.
Lockely@pawb.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard8·2 years agoA ton of the shit comes straight from the board of directors, who will no longer have a board because MS is absorbing and buying out all shareholders.
We know Bobby is leaving for a fact as well, as he has a buyout clause in his contract.
Short term, this is excision of a cancer from the industry. Long term this kind of consolidation is bad for competition. I’ll be happy when MS gets inevitably trust busted.

Lockely@pawb.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Microsoft considered acquiring Bungie and Sega to bolster Xbox Game Pass, internal emails showEnglish3·2 years agoMicrosoft and Sega have a long partnership with gaming going back to the original XBox days where they got a ton of exclusives originally meant for the Dreamcast after it died. This news is the least surprising to me. Hell, theirbl OG controller is literally the DC controller with an added stick and no VMU support.
It’s how we also ended up with stuff like PSO2 in the West after Sega abandoned it.
Lockely@pawb.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•I need Podcast app recommendations for Android/PCEnglish2·2 years ago💯 this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I’ve had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.
It’s weird the admin is like this. tenforward.social is a Trekkie instance, and we Trekkies are by and large a socially progressive bunch, and wouldn’t take lightly that their admin is being a piece of trash like this. It’s even against their own TOS:
I’m betting most users have no idea their admin is doing this.
