And in any case, it doesn’t achieve the objective of newspeak, as those concepts are still being discussed.
Yet.
But I get what you are saying. I just find the similarities, although banal, kind of funny. In a scary kind of way.
You just described Newspeak (Nineteen Eighty-Four novel):
Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person’s ability for critical thinking. The Newspeak language thus limits the person’s ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][4]
I use the TV remote control for the basic stuff. If I need to type something longer or more options, than I switch to Kore (official Kodi remote by the same developers). You just need the phone to be in the same network.
Never felt the need to connect keyboard+mouse.
I’m running a RPI4 with LibreELEC + Kodi.
YouTube runs better than the official app, at least for my needs.
LibreELEC + Kodi works out of the box with the TV Remote. And you can use Kore (android app) to get a full keyboard.
I’ll give you a hint.
The hell did I just watch?!
What’s so special about imessage?
It’s almost as they are being concentrated in a camp.
I’ve the strange felling that it reminds me of something, but I really don’t know what it is… 🤔
I’ll have to look in to that.
I’ve found this at avp.fandom:
The Engineers from Planet 4 as seen in Alien: Covenant, however, appeared more primitive and slightly different in appearance from those the crew of the USCSS Prometheus encountered on LV-223, having eyes more closely resembling those of humans, far more variance in body shape and appear to vary in height as well, compared to the universally tall and muscular Engineers seen in Prometheus, although the clothes they wore bear a striking resemblance to those worn by the sacrificial Engineer from Prometheus. Based on a cut scene from Prometheus, as well as their voices as heard during David’s genocide on Planet 4, their voices appear similarly human-like, although seemingly lower in pitch.
So let’s say that indeed it is the engineers home world, what’s your guess has for the Covenant and Prometheus engineers not looking the same?
Yes, Shaw said that. But only David knew how to read and operate the ship controls, he could go anywhere that the engineers had in the database. David can’t be trusted has we see in both movies, and in Covenant he’s is own boss.
I don’t believe Alien: Covenant takes place at the engineers home world. If you compare the engineers from Prometheus with the inhabitants from Covenant, they don’t look the same. They look more as another “experiment” like the humans.
I don’t believe it works like that. When you change the battery, the save is gone. In other words, I think it has to have a continuous charge to keep the save.
It works like a computer CMOS battery if I’m not mistaken.
It’s pretty clear Disney had no fucking clue what they were doing with Star Wars after they acquired it.
One might argue that they still don’t have a clue.
Voyager here. Thunder is my second, but there is a bug that the previews are not loading right. Voyager fells like a better experience right now.
I was using it has my main Lemmy client, but no big deal. Fortunately there’s a lot of clients to choose from.
Just to add that it was the worst performer because the tester made some mistake when doing said markdown test. When he corrected the test it was nowhere near the worst, but it was already to late.
Some people (tester included) tried to reason with the dev, but to no avail. I think he was scared because he was using his real name in github, and didn’t want to have bad code in his résumé or something like that.
IMHO, the dev overreacted. But it’s his project so it’s is decision.
Some people forked the project before it went down, so maybe we can see a comeback in the future.
Option 3.
