@Shivaekul omg I was in this exact situation with my own project - although thankfully I didn’t need a database. infrastructure and hardware are honestly just the worst T_T I’d love to hear about your project though if you feel like sharing! but no pressure

@Shivaekul that is such a fucking mood omg. is this for work or something else?

@rowan that’s amazing! did they fix the progression problems where after a certain point you just hit a brick wall?

@rowan ooh what did they add?

I think web browsers should be designed in a way that’s actively hostile to megacorporations

certain browser features should be blacklisted based on how much money the company is worth. over $10 million? no notifications. over $100 million? no modifying the browser’s history. over $1 billion? no modifying the DOM, ever. over $10 billion? no cross-domain requests of any kind. over $100 billion? no javascript

(I’m not very serious about this but I definitely think that all of the fancy stuff that javascript can do is completely squandered on megacorps who just use it to write slow shitty webpages that waste RAM and constantly break)

I would actually really love to watch the new Ghost in the Shell movie. the one that was controversial because Motoko Kusanagi was played by a white women or something. because it just looks really fucking stylish and that’s all I want/need

but then I read the plot summary and it reads like it was created entirely out of tropes that I find triggering. this is true of the vast majority of scifi movies btw

examples:

• the first half of As Above So Below
• the surface-level vibes of the first 2/3rds of We Are The Night, but you have to ignore all of the subtext and foreshadowing and pretend a lot of scenes don’t exist, especially that part (this is one of my favorite movies of all time btw)
• the first 2/3rds of The Dyatlov Pass Incident
• The Thing, except I can’t keep track of who any of the characters are (I couldn’t even tell you how many characters are on the research base) and I mostly just like the vibes of an isolated research base in the snow
• the first 2/3rds of Phoenix Forgotten
• The Martian as long as I deliberately don’t think too much about Mark Watney’s health or comfort

my favorite horror movie is the first 2/3rds of most horror movies - when they’re being atmospheric and spooky and not taking things too far

some of my favorite movies of all time boil down to “if you ignore half of the plot and cut out most of the scenes and ignore the subtext…” I’m basically just 100% there for the surface-level vibes

the bar for being a movie that I like is literally on the floor:

• don’t cause lingering psychological harm when I watch it
• have at least one (1) thing that I think is cool or stylish or clever in some way

and yet…

@dragonfi yess omg I remember seeing a variation on this image! I love how it explains

• the mandibles
• why the cockpit is on the side

I don’t think the YT-1930 would be able to do this? since the cockpit is in the middle of the mandibles and the visibility would be very very impaired by having cargo in the front. although I guess you could navigate based on sensors instead. but it does have mandibles so then the question becomes, what are the mandibles for?

maybe it really is meant to be able to haul cargo containers too, and the cockpit is in the center as a tradeoff so that you can see both sides instead of just one

then again, if you think too much about any aspect of a Star Wars ship, the logic starts to fall apart. like, there is no explanation for S-foils that makes sense IMO - especially the ARC-170’s S-foil configuration

überspezifisch.

I'm definitely not getting fun ideas about soft robotics after watching this >///<

@mioontje also I tried to reply to this post a few days ago but it didn’t go through. cryptid.cafe runs on a tiny VPS and it chokes on posts sometimes lol

but I wanted to say that I was obsessed with this pic for a while. I couldn’t get it out of my head. it’s definitely one of the hottest things I’ve seen on Fedi. like the outfit, the pose, your body - everything is so good 💙

@mioontje oohh - thank you! 💙

and also, I really like seeing a little peek of panties from under a skirt - especially when there’s a lot of inner thigh visible 🥵 so that’s my suggestion for what kind of photo(s) to take, but no pressure at all!

I fucking love YT series freighters. I want to drift in space for 4 months in a YT-1930 with my entire polycule as we all just relax and talk and play video games and cuddle

(the YT-1930 can hold 4 months’ worth of food, water, and other supplies)
