    i can clearly see the sub marine on the picture !!! look in the harbour (shown on the left image) there is a subways and right before the entrance there is a marine ... not to mention he has the sub of the day in his hand and walks away which looks a bit like drunken to me and "sunken" could just be a bad typo... maybe too few pixels for everyone to see it, but its there !!!

    don't fall for propaganda, fall for turboprops or ghandi, for submarines or cranes, maybe for the shadows (of babylon5) if you insist but plz not for propaganda !


  • You’re not a journalist

    from reading, don't believe you (oxjox) happen to even know who CriticalResist8 is let alone who he works for or anything else and that what you want to spread as truth about him (her?) really only is your weak personal shortthought quick-response-cause-i-can-insult-someone opinion. But of course i do not "know" if that is true about you even though i happen to believe that now. how could i know?

    i didn't think CR8 was a journalist either, but i wouldn't state that i knew he wasn't until i actually know that as a fact. Do you know that as a fact? Did you check his identity, papers or such?

    There are appropriate places for your work. This is not the place.

    please, oxjox, do not spread untrue informations or unproven guesses as truth about other people here, lemmy is not a place for such or any type of insults. thank you for not doing such again !!

    maybe:

    • its a game and
    • its meant to be played with your own mind. and
    • only because (and only if) your mind happens to have impact on the future, playing in mind with random imaginations comparing them to your situation or projections to the future also happens to have some impact on the future.

    maybe 🤷


  • First contact was on the here-named eta-carinae system, we did a holiday tour there long ago and heared about earth from a scientist that rescued a human instead of just studying and thus could not leave him there with his memories about him. the human was talking about star trek, its similarities and real differences all the time. he already spoke fluently in standard Sjesh/sound w/o any interfaces so we listened directly to his true mind. he even had a very worn out tng tshirt in his personal memory items box. i mean he really had used his memory items before! that made us curious and the rest is history. However he is now back here, as we managed to arrange his behavioral training to hide his experiences well, he passed all the tests and got his transport back, but with his biologic cells clock reset to his 20th to compensate the decades he lost out there a little bit. it is possible he could become an ambassador for earth one day, but it looks unlikely that he would want that given the circumstances here, a task he always compares with the mytholigical boulder of Sisyphus (that really never existed physically) whenever he is asked about his opportunity.

    just kidding, first contact with TNG was in school, other kids talked about the first episode. i could not watch it at home and also had other problems to fix at that time so i missed a lot of the start of it :-/

    however i am trying to train myself for writing in general as i have ideas for a longer story (but not within the trek universe) and as the above text came to my mind i just wrote it and hope you don't find it too misplaced here or badly written.. however any feedback is welcome.

    and i think they opened it, but were just hindered to read "all" of it, which matches your observings while it does not assume bad/unwanted behaviour of participants here as a cause but only a bad webpage which actually was observed. so it matches the observings and likely causes while not suggesting bad actors here other than the webpage which actually was observed to act in a disturbing way. i'ld say thats a way better fit ;-)

    i think the probability of an evil ad banner layer hiding important parts of the article preventing it from beeing read completely by a subset of readers with some not so common browser(-settings) outdated adblockers, no adblockers or specific not fully successful adblockers, or only blocking in dns a.s.o. is very high as ad layers are always on the top no matter what and ads also use lots of scripting no matter how invasive.

    usually ad layers are considered more important by website owners than their actual contents and thus these layers might not be removed/fixed even if they are known(!) to hide the real contents in bad ways.

    i have seen pages that only show the first paragraph of their contents if you displayed them in reader mode, circumventing all ad layers and their cookie trap banners at once and bcs of that the pageowners choosed to only show you a fraction of their contents thus visitors only can read it incompletely.

    because you don't personally have all browsers, -settings, and adblocker scenarios at hand, you cannot tell or even try how bad a page is made unreadable by ads for any given website or article.

    so if pple don't read full articles, its likely just bcs of malicious ads or webpages.

    prove me wrong

    for me roundabout in the middle of that article an advertising for a newsletter is statically displayed while a very similar ad (maybe exact same) for the very same newsletter is displayed as a top layer preventing further scrolling down the article at some (random?) place while reading it. if that newsletter adlayer pops up with a bad timing one has read a significant part of the article maybe its appearence does not break a paragraph or such an due to that adlayer no further scrolling down is possible thus the reader thinks that was the whole article and just goes back to talk about it without knowing significant parts. maybe its the newsletter ad that prevented ppl from reading the article and you (!) are just an indirect victim of malicious ad placement here.




  • she should IMHO have to pay for the plate too. some vegans are not even vegan by choice but by allergy, and just fragments of scavengers "food" -really not easily to "completely" clean from plates- can cause very bad allergic reactions and i would expect a pure vegan (not necesarily a "vegetarian") restaurant to explicitly "throw away" (as in never use it again for guests) any plate contaminated. luckily i am not a vegan myself and vegetarian mostly by my own choice, but i know how hard allergic reactions to non"food"-contaminated-food can be.

    of course a sign that "meat is not allowed to be eaten there and everything contacted with it has to be payd to buy anew by the offender as it could not be used any more by the reastaurant" should better be placed somewhere to on one hand help service personnel with such guests by clarifying things and on the other hand to give more security to those guests who are not vegan by choice.


  • you should definitely know what type of authentication you use (my opinion) !! the agent can hold the key forever, so if you are just not asked again when connecting once more, thats what the agent is for. however its only in ram, so stopping the process or rebooting ends that of course. if you didn't reboot meanwhile maybe try unload all keys from it (ssh-add -D, ssh-add -L) and see what the next login is like.

    btw: i use ControlMaster /ControlPath (with timeouts) to even reduce the number of passwordless logins and speed things up when running scripts or things like ansible, monitoring via ssh etc. then everything goes through the already open channel and no authentication is needed for the second thing any more, it gets really fast then.


  • My theory is that you already have something providing ssh agent service

    in the past some xserver environments started an ssh-agent for you just in case of, and for some reason i don't remember that was annoying and i disabled it to start my agent in my shell environment as i wanted it.

    also a possibility is tharlt there are other agents like the gpg-agent that afaik also handles ssh keys.

    but i would also look into $HOME/.ssh/config if there was something configured that matches the hostname, ip, or with wildcards* parts of it, that could interfere with key selection as the .ssh/id_rsa key should IMHO always be tried if key auth is possible and no (matching) key is known to the ssh process, that is unless there already is something configured...

    not sure if a system-wide /etc/ssh/ssh_config would interfere there too, maybe have a look there too. as this behaviour seems a bit unexpected if not configured specially to do so.








  • maybe create a digital artwork (maybe something like this but not public: https://imgflip.com/i/8ux4zk) ask a rich friend with lots of expensive artwork at home to rate its value (high). write a letter to microsoft that they are welcome to rent a digital copy of it for only 10000$ a day (days rounded up of course) they would just have to download it from your pc to any of their servers and would accept this contract arrangement by just doing so without further need of asking for permission or such, payment would be due at least every 30 days after download with contract violation fine of anoter 2000$ per overdue day just for not paying in time. The rest is (paid?) creativity ;-) but dont forget to screenshot your desktop with the green checkmark on that file.
