I somewhat disagree with the ingenious GUI in Star Trek. After decades, I still look at these Star Trek Interfaces and do not understand how they work, what the information hirachy is or what a buttons is or what is just passive Elements. I give him the benefit of science-fiction and my weak 20th century brain is not ready to understand 2290s graphical user interfaces but for me it is just artwork and I bet GUI in Starfleets in the future will not look like that at all. I love the GUI asthetics of more modern sci-fi movies where I can actually understand why there is a CTA, why there is a diagramm on how to navigate it. But the gap between what Okuda did and what we see on phones, tablets and the general web today are worlds apart. He did a somewhat great artwork, but was not able to give a realistic outlook on how human-machine interaction in the future will look like. It also aged poorly and still feels like the orange-chic of the 70s and did not made the asthetic upgrade that the ship design and costume design did in the series. That man might be a legend, but his understanding of GUI is somewhat weak in comparison with other sci-fi artist. And I take the foaming downvotes for that but it has to be said at least once on the internet.

I have a seedbox (ultra cc). The legally questionable part happens between the seeder and my seedbox IP. I download the files via SSH/SFTP with my blank IP. Since 7 years. No popo yet.

Reminds me about the Treaty of Zaragoza between Castile (Spain) and Portugal, where they divided the world in two half between each other. Just claim big.

Context: The “new world” was just discovered 35 yeas earlier and the world map was still very crude in the east indias and the new amazonas region - worldmaps 1530

You could ditch the solenoid and use a ATMega32u4 that can act as a HID device to send a keypress signal.

How do you solve the discoverability issue? A platform gives you some place where people could stumble upon you, while a website is an island in the middle of an ocean that people have to actively browse to. Do you crosspost your new work now more to get the word seen by others? I find it hard to believe that people would like to browse to x different websites to see if an artist has new works, only to find out that they don’t. For finding new artist a central place or a feed, like a platform can provide, seems to be nearly impossible to replace.

I’m sorry Lemmy, that I was not there when you were born. But the day I met you, i knew you were my future.

And yet, people will fall for it again and again
