That actually looks very much like the form that Palpatine uses. Well, before he started stalling with Windu

The Turing Option
For the smallest instant the image on the screen stilled, the lips did not move. This was the first indication that Mura was actually speaking in Japanese, his words swiftly translated into English — while the movement of his face and lips were simulated by the computer to match the words.—Harry Harrison, Marvin Minsky. The Turing Option. 1992

16:9 iframe
While updating YouTube embeds today, I also updated embed styling. I used this insanity taken from I don’t even remember where:
.videoblock > .content {
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 56.25%;
position: relative;
> iframe {
border: 0;
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
}
Much simpler now:
.videoblock > .content > iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
}

Selene Shepard

Apparently the remaster of the original Mass Effect trilogy is soon upon us. So I want to publish some ‘source data’ for my Commander, Selene C. Shepard just to immortalize her a bit.
| Mass Effect | Mass Effect 3 |
|---|---|

Name: Selene Shepard
Biography: ruthless spacer
Class: vanguard
Alignment: neutral, slightly more paragon than renegade
Her canon: (Important things about her biography)
- Kaidan and Wrex die on Virmire
- Wrex’s stubbornness and death lead to a general distrust for Krogans
- Rachni Queen is saved
- Balak is turned to the Alliance
- One teammate is lost in the suicide mission (probably Jacob; Jack in my first playthrough)
- For some sense of loss like in ME1
- Collector base is destroyed
- Genophage is sabotaged, Mordin is saved
- Red or blue ending, never green or ‘do nothing’
Things that should be promoted to canon but they contradict some of my playthoughs:
- Udina named councillor
- To save Anderson from the job he doesn’t want and, frankly, Udina is not that asshole he seems on the first playthrough (except ME3)
- Jacob dies
- Quarians are saved, Geth are destroyed
- Red ending with survival

Version 2 (2020): 541.BFE.HL8.F7H.BMK.IBD.FG7.6CD.87C.FE7.667.324 | |

Version 2 alternative (2020): 541.BFE.HL8.F7H.BMK.IBD.FG7.6CD.87C.FE9.267.324 | |

Alternative of version 2 was created for the last replay of ME3 to show some changes due to civilian life.
Merry Christmas!

New blog ready
Almost a year ago I scrapped my WordPress and started moving my blog to Pelican, and now it’s finally ready. Blog has been transferred and a new template has been developed, Tumblr inspired, UIkit powered, hand crafted, with dark mode using prefers-color-scheme: dark. Right for the next Christmas.
Athena is a patron goddess of IT
- A patron goddess of knowledge
- A weaver. Looms were first programmable devices
- She turned Arachna into a spider, Arachna then built the World Wide Web
- A militant and a virgin, she has to be the patron of comment sections
- She invented ships. Shippers, rejoice!
- A patron of agriculture. What about your Facebook farms?
- A daughter of Zeus, and PCs work from electricity. Is it a coincidence?
- She invented the Trojan Horse
If your PC acts strangely, make a sacrifice to Athena

How number π sounds. Prettified of course but it’s still great
