  • Cool. Now show me the dead Charlie Kirk reaction.

  • sigh

    Very well...

  • Ah, finally. My skills from being an RP server moderator finally coming to fruition.

  • Yeah, don't do math, kids. It's not good for you!

  • How dare you associate yourself with the No Rabbits Association! Don't you know how cute rabbits are?

  • Ah, yeah, that makes sense.

  • Isn't coffeezilla that YouTube journalist that exposes things?

  • Come on Valve. Abolish the loot box. Set an example.

  • "It's called "The American Dream" because you'll have to be asleep to believe it!"

    • George Carlin, I think.
  • Rages faces were funnier, though.

  • Oh by gods, just derail the bloody thing!

  • Again...

  • You're literally just handwaving all the issues. Which is completely fine, as long as you stop pretending there's some actually reasonable science behind this fantasy-machine.

    There is, and...

    Saying "volumetric displays and forcefields" doesn't make it rational

    ... It does.

    But that's OK. You don't have to understand it.

  • I provided you with an actual photograph with a quote that's clearly showing that holographic food isn't real,

    No you didn't. You showed a photograph of Quark complaining about giving away free stuff. Other sources from Star Trek episodes themselves have verbally explained the holodeck replicates.

    Go watch Encounter at Farpoint again.

  • I'm still going to ask where you're getting "all the food is real" from?

    First episode of TNG describes the holodeck replicating things for authenticity, specifically when Riker got his suit wet for real with water from the holodeck.

    There have been multiple instances of this after the very first episode too.

  • Yeah, a bad copy that's not affecting all of your senses as has lots of limitations?

    Maybe because it's older technology than a holodeck? You do understand how the progress of technology usually involves the solving of problems and limitations, right?

    That's all the answer you need.

  • The emphasis of this scene is that the food is for free. Not that the holodeck can't replicate food.

    However, there are other issues here. Firstly, it's not a federation holodeck. Secondly, for some reason they're not called holodecks either, but holosuites. This isn't a direct comparison.

  • I mean... If you're wearing a VR headset and move via treadmill... Then you're pretty much halfway towards what holodeck does already. So now imagine it's a few centuries into the future.

  • That's because a holodeck isn't merely a projection on the walls. It's been described a few times as a complex array of volumetric displays, forcefields, and replicated materials that shift around the individuals participating in the holodeck.

    Basically, the way it's described, the illusion shouldn't work from your perspective as viewers/audience.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Is it possible to access hardware RGB controls of connected USB devices?

    Is there a Linux drawing tablet, or a tablet Linux can be installed on?
