Who is this?
Who is this?
What’s your kill count in the trolley problem?
It’s not the looking-at-th-screen-thing, but rather the switching-the-camera-on-in-the-first-place-thing, the understanding-anything-at-all-while-the-screen-is-covered-in-people-thing and the not-being-a-total-exhausted-mess-who-needs-an-hourlong-pause-to-function-again-afterwards -thing.
So no, wouldn’t be useful, I am afraid.
Have been thinking the same.
I have a serious anxiety when it comes to video calls. My direct colleagues know about it and don’t mind, but it is weird when having remote meetings involving other people. This is probably really harming my professional success.
So I was considering trying some Chatroulette like service to get more relaxed towards video calls, but was really put off when hearing about all the offensive sexual weirdness there.
Eyechat would omit that while still being near enough to a classic full-face video-call. I think this might actually work as some kind of exposure therapy. I might give it a try.
Interesting read, thank you!
And the page it is published on seems to be also quite cool. Science based journalism, exactly my thing.
So theconversation.com is now part of my news bookmarks.
Doesn’t help in summer…
The article itself sounds a lot more relaxed than the heading suggests.
Nonetheless, this is still stuff for c/fuckcars
Lower Decks reporting for duty, Sir!
Now that you have said it, I can’t unsee it.
Damn you! ;-)
Your description fits, though.
Back to the old, but still very true quote:
“Piracy is a service problem.”
No, they would put on a pirate hat and hit the seven seas again.
I mean, that is basically where we are coming from. And the record companies still remembering this is the reason we still have usable music streaming services. Might change again as time passes though…
We still have one of those on a near playground. And actually my kid’s favorite one… 😆
But Wil Wheaton has been born in 1972, so basically is prototypical GenX per definition.
This should rather be a photo of e.g. Cirroc Lofton, aka Jake Sisko…
The voice of the Enterprise computer is spoken by Majel Barrett, who also is the actress playing Lwaxana Troi. So she is literally talking to herself in the scenes involving the computer.
I just skipped that episode this week during watching TNG with my kids for the first time. I have only ever seen it once, and that is definitely already one time too much.
Anybody watched the video? What’s the verdict?
Finally, I am not the only one! Feels good.
What a phantastic thread!
We have had linguistics, sociology, physics and now biology in the form of colour perception so far.
Cross domain discussions are great! :-)
Well in my case it’s more about where to draw the line between blue and green.
I can differentiate the colours but just still call things blue that my GF (and most of the rest of the world, apart from Japanese and the german dialect I grew up with as it seems) already calls green.
l was thinking Beethoven at fürst and have been even more confused. 😆
