I do the same at work just because we don't get an image editor, and PowerPoint can just do some things better than any other tool that I do have at my disposal.

Correct. To get around that limitation, I have seen users on other communities mark a post as NSFW and then include in the title something along the lines of "(NSFW for spoilers only)". Obviously this is far from ideal, as some users/instances block all NSFW posts, and some others set NSFW posts to not be blurred at all.

They want to mark an entire post as a spoiler. Not a comment. Useful if you want to post something like an image that contains spoilers, so that image shows up blurred in everyone's feed until the user manually clicks the button to unblur it.

This sounds vaguely familiar. Is that a quote from a show or something?

If it were an iPod, it'd be a Shuffle.

*squints* Sir, that is an LCD model you have there.

I guess the disconnect here is that I expect the default state here to be disconnected. More often than not, I am not using my mic/webcam. So when I do, I change the switch to its secondary state to enable it.

 

It makes more sense to me to have the switches appear as red when the device has the ability to record you. When color is used as an indicator for something, the general convention is that red is negative. Meaning that there is a greater possibility of something going wrong when a red indicator is being displayed. You could argue that "webcam is not working for some reason" is a negative, and that seeing the bright red indicator can bring your attention to the switch as a hint to how to fix the issue. I would argue against that by stating that having a webcam record you when you do not want it to is a much bigger potential negative than the webcam not recording when you do want it to.

Also:

  • When a traditional video camera displays a red indicator light, that means the camera is recording.
  • On the underside of the Framework 16, the expansion module latches are red when disengaged

Looks like that was the full version of the acronym for most of TOS

USS was referred to as standing for either "United Space Ship" (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I", "Space Seed", "The Gamesters of Triskelion", "Patterns of Force", "Assignment: Earth", "Elaan of Troyius") or "United Star Ship." (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos", "Court Martial")

Back in the day, when Reddit was a thing, I always wanted some sort of dynamic curated block list. If I were to subscribe to the "sports" block list, then all the current sports subs would be added to my filters. Every time a new sports sub gets created, users have the ability to add that new sub to the dynamic "sports" list. At that point, everyone else that is subscribed to that "sports" list gets that new sub added to their filters automatically.

 

PolyCube is a block-stacking puzzle game in full 3D, with optional VR support. Move and spin your block pieces in all directions to place them in the puzzle before time is up and the piece drops.

The developer was a full-time web dev who wanted to try out solo game development, but they ended up hating the business management side of things, so they eventually gave up the "hobby" and just set the game to free permanently.

 

I just came across this linked to in the Obtainium README. It is sort of a Ninite-like webpage that allows you to quickly and easily add apps from a curated list into Obtainium on your device. Really useful when setting up a new device or something.

I do wish it was more like Ninite, in that you currently have to tap the "Add to Obtainium" button under each and every individual app that you want go add . I wish this site also allowed you to instead check a checkbox on each app that you want, and then press one button that would add all the checked apps to Obtainium for you.
