I’m always amazed how this gibberish song managed to become popular outside of Italy and, aided by memes and frequent resharing, still being known today!

Crap, every day I see signs of how AI is polluting reality, when it could and should only be used to improve humanity.

Also, I’m starting to believe AI is effectively going to destroy or resize several jobs. For example, a friend of mine told me it asked ChatGPT to write several lines of code and it did so, maybe 85% correctly. He went through the whole code and could find mistakes and correct them. Anyhow, long story short, it would have taken his a lot of time to write them himself.

You mean like Captain Picard Day?

Sweet!

That’s a very correct point of view. Janeway IS cool and the show had such potential, but there are so many wasted opportunities…

True, but the feeling is that in general Voyager was hard to watch.

I rewatched TNG and DS9 several times from start to finish and almost skipped no episodes (though in later rewatches of DS9 I’m skipping the alternate universe ones since I can’t bear them). I tried rewatching VOY and I just can’t. Sure I can rewatch some of the awesome episodes from the show, but I can’t watch it from start to finish since I find most episodes to be cringey (even if I like most of the actors and their characters, but something doesn’t work when watching entire episodes).

Unrelated: I watched DIS until it was on Netflix (and deemed it an action TV series that’s got nothing to do with Star Trek) and watched only a few episodes of PIC until it turned into the “fellowship of the ring” with the introduction of a sword wielding elf. Should I squeeze my nose and dive into it again and try to finish it?

I’ll watch SNW as soon as I can. Still haven’t gotten around it

Day of the Tentacle (1993). Admittedly, it was the remastered version from 2016 which has more modern controls, but the game is exactly the same as the old one.

It was fascinating to look at it again with more mature eyes: besides the fact that it feels a bit dated as a whole, it was funny to me to notice how much humanity loves time travel stories.

It’s not that this game is doing anything different in that regard, it’s just that I thought about how much media exists on the subject (and has been very successful).

Anyhow, although dated, the game is brilliant and wholesome and made me wonder which are the best (and recent) graphic adventure games

This dude rocks! Not only are they good and dressed like a toon, but they have no shame and keep one-upping themselves going faster and faster!

This is very distressing, but not unexpected… Trying to silence Coffeezilla is the only endgame here, despite claims of his poor reputation being smeared by a thorough investigation

This time is as good as any to cite Maroon 5’s “payphone” and link to its gloriously dumb video, which I contend being in the top 10 dumbest videos ever (I don’t want to claim it’s got the top spot, since maybe there are other gems I am ignoring)

Edit: grammar

I’m blue, da ba dee da ba dam…

This game was really awesome! I spent so many hours playing online with whoever. It had several awesome arenas.

Now you make me want to play it again!

Ah, wow. So some exams are happening online, even though classes are in person! There goes a combination I had not thought about. It is annoying to still need Respondus though, even if I understand why

Interesting (and annoying). I imagined that most exams went back to the usual pen and paper or laboratory, but there were tests written on laptops and in class long before the pandemic. I had forgotten about those!

Wait, are universities still using Respondus?

I feel for you. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was dropped by now.

Are you me?

Chill out RobotZap1000 (though, I suppose your alias suggests you’re a fierce robot punishing earthlings 😄)!

I was just making a joke about the fact that normally we’re constantly receiving feedback to do/not do so something and we’re never entirely free to decide on our own

I haven’t watched the video, but…

(1) If I watch it, it’s on YouTube (a form of social media) so I’ll be influenced and manipulated.

(2) If I don’t watch it, it’s because I’ve read its title on Lemmy (another form of social media), so I’ll have been influenced and manipulated anyway.

Bottom line: being influenced and manipulated is everyone’s destiny, yay!

Ahahahah, Trogdor strikes again!
