Podcast episode featuring Tim Russ - Go Fact Yourself episode 170 in c/[email protected]

He just didn't strike me as already in his forties when VOY was running.

And the fact that the guy who ditched high school with Ferris Bueller is turning 69 in two months... what the actual F???

What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching? in c/[email protected]
[–] klu9 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Kept with SoA until I tired of the "3 concurrent life-or-death crises" formula, with a new life-or-death crisis introduced each time an older one reached its end.

All principal characters even went to prison for a year, with no such crises for the rest of the MC, and then as soon as they got out, straight back to "3 concurrent life-or-death crises" as usual.

The rest of the MC should have realized "Hey, things were so chill when those guys were away, let's get 'em sent back".

Yeah, I tried P&R twice without it clicking for me. Only once I got past season 1 did I begin to enjoy it.

How do Pixelfed and Mastodon interact? in c/pixelfed
[–] klu9 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for the info.

Re the example I posted (dated 20th April 2025), there are almost 60 comments when I view from Mastodon, and just 1 (other than mine) when I view on pixelfed.ca.

Does this mean all those other commenters' instances are federated with universeodon.com but not with pixelfed.ca?

Got me looking up Tim Russ's age, born in 1956 already!

Found what I think is the Trek "Class of '56"

Right, I remember seeing something about motion sickness being related to the mismatch.

Re the organ, Wikipedia says it's the vestibular system in the inner ear.

Thanks for the interesting link.

Unfortunately that episode does not feature Tim Russ. Because the guy in the picture is... old. Like, elderly. So it can't be Tim Russ, because if he's elderly, then that would mean I'm at least... 8-O

Hence, QED, unpossible!

Colour-differentiated workspaces (pixelfed.ca)

Using Linux Mint 22.1 Xfce. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/40243032

New to Lemmy.

And new to workspaces. I'd get confused at first which workspace I was on.

Different backgrounds helped a bit, but I'm almost always in maximized windows.

I wanted to have different colours for windows, panel etc but couldn't.

So I adjusted panel opacity to 95% on Enter, 75% on Leave. That allows the background colour to bleed through.

A user on the Linux Mint forums suggested adjusting workspace margins to let the background show even when windows are maximized.

So now I have an 8-pixel strip of desktop showing just above the panel. Combined with the lowered panel opacity, I never have to wondr anymore what workspace I'm on.

  • Workspace [1/2/3] with windows minimized.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Leave" opacity of 95%.
  • Workspace [1/2/3] with window maximized, panel at "Enter" opacity of 75%.

(I read somewhere that it's better to host images for Lemmy on Pixelfed. So I made my first post there with all the screenshots, and linked to it. Hope that works.)

PS: Anyone have any other ideas to help distinguish workspaces at a glance?

On the database website, I didn't see any alternatives to GitHub, or even a category for that I could submit to.

"Software development, collaboration & hosting"?

Here are some:

Alternative to... lots of stuff: GitHub, Google, Gmail, Google Docs, Discord, Skype, Reddit, Twitter etc

  • Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)

Alternative to Microsoft VS Studio Marketplace (extensions for VS Studio IDE)

Open source alternative to Microsoft VS Studio IDE, with Microsoft telemetry removed
