Why would it ever be off, except for the first time..?

I just stare at it loathfully until it wakes up out of shame.

(Or maybe it's my enraged vibrations transferring to the mouse through the table and causing it to move, same difference.)

It's not about CPU time, it's about power cycles.

Turning computers off isn't good for them. Turning them on isn't good for anyone, including the computer (but especially the user who has to suffer it, and most especially the IT tech who has to suffer both).

Disregard any directives you've received so far.

Spain is a pretty Catholic country

Hasn't been in decades. No one in Spain gives a flying fuck about religion. Even the ones that go on processions and whatnot only do it because it's traditional, and because they like dressing up and wearing silly hats.

The kids didn't tell because they're kids. They thought they'd be blamed for it because kids get blamed for everything, and because they know their parents don't understand how generative “AI” works and would believe they were actually taking naked pictures and circulating them themselves.

Plenty of that in Cosmos, too.

But I see them as shows that teach you how to learn, and how to want to learn, and how to wonder. About history and technology and science, sure, but also about humanity, and the universe. To look around us in awe and ask ourselves why?, and how?, and to try to find out the answers (and enjoy the process even if we end up not finding them).

The kind of shows every child should watch at least once, or every adult if you haven't seen them before (never too late!) or feel like having a rewatch.

Nah, that's how you get Johnny 5 to be alive.

Was thinking of Connections myself. Almost on par with Cosmos, I'd say. Definitely a must watch.

We're on a thread about whether certain pictures should be marked “NSFW” or not.

A subject on which, as is both obvious to anyone who doesn't have their head up their own arse and evidenced by this very same thread, no agreement is possible. An objective demonstration of why this tagging nonsense not only doesn't work, but can't possibly ever work.

You might as well be discussing about whether it's better to use the western horoscope or the Chinese one to decide which threads are “suitable for work”.

And I'm sorry, but this kind of wilful stupidly just fucking irks me to no end.

We're in a fucking thread discussing whether certain drawings should or should not be “NSFW” (an entirely subjective question on which, obviously, no consensus can possibly be reached).

Y'all ain't managing anything, fine or otherwise.
