I love it, it subverts the trope perfectly. Who do we have to talk to to make it happen?

Do we still get the sparkly, spinny transformation sequences, or is it more of a flash, and instead of the worryingly young protagonist, Mo'Gar Skullcrush stands in front of the wizard Balath, who's been causing problems, reaches forward and squashes him flat with one hand.

Either way, I'd watch it.

Take your eye roll and hearty groan and get out!

Thanks for a good chuckle this morning.

I'm browsing all by top/6 hour. Bad news: they're multiplying. I counted at least three or four users on the first page.

Considering the current obsession on Lemmy, I was all ready for this to be "The Meta-moth-osis".

You've got this, just show her how attracted to her you are, tell her she's your sun and your moon, that she's all you think about, that the world seems dark without her.

I worry about the implications for Sage and all the students who will return when they go back for next year, a vindictive administration could make life very hard for them. That makes it all the more impressive that they stood up against this sort of behaviour.

These things are usually buried somewhere in the small print, and it might even have been in some "hey, look at this exciting new prek we git you" email from your employer when you/they joined the scheme. It might have been something like "Any items we provide to assist with member's physical therapy remain the property of at all times, and must be returned at the end of the therapy".

Just treat the tablet as what it was provided as, a way to access their app, and be ready to return it afterwards.

Been there. A word to the wise: never decided that the best way to avoid multiple walks to the kitchen is to fill a mug with espressos and then drink it at your desk. Colours start to make sounds, everything moves too slowly, you feel a sense of impending doom, and your heart makes a spirited attempt to leave your body.

The way he's sitting reminds me of the "I don't always ... but when I do I ..." meme.

Bear in mind that they already have your home address, as they sent the tablet to you, that address is geolocated, and anyone with a phobe passing near you will have enumerated any wifi networks and possibly bluetooth too and geolocated those.

They already know what devices are around you unless there's not been a phone within range since you got them.

You were sent the tablet in order to be able to access the the app they provide. I strongly suspect that it is actually a loan, and they will want it back when you are finished with it. Given that, you shouldn't even attempt to root it. Use it for what it is intended for, gain some benefit from that, hopefully get your massager, and return the tablet when you're finished with it.

Unless you deliberately give them more information, there's not much new they can gain about your environment from the tablet. What you do in the app is going to be much more valuable data to them as it'll give them information about you and your health that they could not gain any other way.

That does feel rther like jumping out of a plane and hoping you can finish making your paracute before it's too late.

The concept of moving on from X11 is a good one, but making Wayland just a protocol that every compositor has to implement separately, and having so many optional larts to the spec seems like a guarantee that the ecosystem around it will never properly mature.

The KiCad developers have a good article about some of the issues with Wayland here.
