Any reason why you can’t just use one of the many, many web-based apps and “install” it? Photon, Alexandrite, Tesseract, Voyager, and many more all let you “install” them to your home screen. They run in your phone’s web browser but don’t have the address bar and work full screen and basically look/act like native apps.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Don't be ridiculous
24·6 hours agoIn the novels, that’s what the Borg finally do, and surprise, it works.
I was wondering what Iola Boylan was up to in her later years.
If you don't get the reference...
Iola Lucille Boylen is the neighbor and best friend of Thelma Harper in the syndicated version of “Mama’s Family”
Iola is notorious for her “handicrafts” made from common objects like dryer lint which she foists on people, especially the Harpers. Iola’s creations are usually considered tacky and needless; she routinely gives the Harpers gifts such as a “toilet paper cozy” or knitted napkin cozy.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•One is illegal, and one is not
5·1 day agoIt’s been a minute but I don’t think so; just “android body”. I just called it a golem since that’s what they’re called in PIC when they’re meant to accept a human mind upload.

6·1 day agoIn the novelverse, what became Data was originally planned to be Soong’s body via brain uploading. So the meme kinda still works.
spoiler
And in a “comes full circle” series of events, what was Soong’s current android “golem” body became Data’s which resurrected him after the events of Nemesis.
The “Cold Equations” trilogy is really quite good.

news@lemmings.world•12 US scientists have gone missing or died. The mystery has become the talk - and worry - of WashingtonEnglish
12·1 day agoYep.
In short, it is an incoherent conspiracy theory that spreads wide and far, not paying any attention to boundaries of time, space, or area of expertise. “Which is all to say that another piece of flagrant nonsense has ascended to the highest levels of U.S. politics and media,” writes the Atlantic’s Daniel Engber. “To call it a conspiracy theory would be far too kind, because no comprehensive theory has been floated to explain the pattern of events. But then, even the phrase pattern of events is imprecise, because there is no pattern here at all. Given all the people who could have been roped into this narrative but weren’t, any hope of finding meaning falls away. Barring any dramatic new disclosures, the mystery of the missing scientists has the dubious honor of being a sham in every way at once.”

Adding this to my reaction image collection.
Wait, what? Unless that’s an allegory for AI or something, that actually sounds pretty nice.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do department stores decide the designs they want to put on T-shirts
28·2 days agoBack in the day, I worked in the corporate office for a retail clothing chain (IT department, so not down in the weeds), and I can’t speak for H&M like you gave as an example, but for the one I worked for we didn’t design anything.
We had a department of people called “buyers” who would work with various clothing vendors directly and wholesale bulk-purchase items for the stores. Their job was to basically figure out what was in style, what would sell, in which of our markets it would sell, and order them to stock in the stores. Not all stores carried the same styles/designs/whatever. e.g. We stocked college sports apparel only in markets near those colleges, our stores in warmer regions rarely carried winter apparel that we normally stocked in colder regions, etc.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Creation Announces First Philadelphia Star Trek Convention For NovemberEnglish
1·2 days agoAs a con virgin, any highlights for what it’s like? Do you just walk around the venue and chat with other fans? Stand in line for autographs/photo ops? Shop for merch? Do the guests do talks or Q&As?
Like I said in my other comment, I’m seriously considering attending this one since it’s close and I really would like to add and cross this off my bucket list. Also, like you said, I don’t particularly care for massive events or extended travel to Vegas so a regional one that’s also pretty close to me sounds perfect.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Creation Announces First Philadelphia Star Trek Convention For NovemberEnglish
51·3 days agoThey have already started announcing celebrity guests as well. Today Creation revealed the headliners will include Kate Mulgrew (VOY/PRO), Jeri Ryan (VOY/PIC), Terry Farrell (DS9), Nana Visitor (DS9), Denise Crosby (TNG), and Melissa Navia (SNW). Additional guests for the event will be announced each day this week.
I’ve never been to a convention, but Philadelphia is (relatively speaking) right next door to me. I’m seriously considering saving some vacation time and making this my first because I really want to go to one and they’ve got the most powerful women in the galaxy lined up.

Funny@sh.itjust.works•Using advanced algorithms, I've finally found the one image everyone on Lemmy can enjoy
8·3 days agoWas it because Blanche is a southern belle and said “you all” instead of “y’all”? Cause I had to grumble about that at first.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the greatest break up song in your opinion?
5·3 days agoNot enough
songs out there for thepeople who know they were the problem.Also that.
Hah, thanks. The original discussion thread I linked in my first reply was full of differing opinions on that topic but everyone was approaching it from a “this works for me but you do you” angle. I’m disappointed and apologize the same topic under this post was so inflammatory. That wasn’t even what the post was about.
Edit: Oh, I replied to this from the inbox but am now realizing this was addressed to the room :facepalm:.

Risa@startrek.website•(Ring ring) Hi, it's karma callingEnglish
3·3 days agoYeah, you got it. The point of the episode was that it was a difficult, near-impossible decision but someone had to make it, and as captain it fell to her. Clearly she didn’t derive any joy from it, and I would imagine it weighed on her heavily for a long time after, but it did let her basically bring her longtime friend (Tuvok) back to life as well as a valued member of the crew (Neelix). Tuvok was both tactical officer and chief of security and was critical (in the grand scheme of things) to getting Voyager home safely. So “needs of the many” applies to both Neelix and Tuvok as well as the rest of the crew.
I’ll make the Tuvix jokes because they’re fun, but “Tuvix” (the episode) explores a really complex moral dilemma that, as far as I’m concerned, has no right or wrong answer.
Edit: Thanks! That was kind of my thought when I registered this username. I thought I was being clever and original, but in the Trek novels I started reading after I had this username, iced raktajino is mentioned many times so it’s not quite as original as I thought haha.


















Nice. Only omitted that one because I hadn’t heard of it. I like to switch apps every so often so will check it out.
