Uncle Iroh always has great takes on life!

Non Player Character, like a computer controlled character in a game.

To me it seems like a dehumanizing way to talk about people since it implies they have no consciousness or free will. But there’s no way to tell who is a NPC

Did I mention how much I am loving Fedora KDE Plasma 42 Beta? It seems I am a bit smitten.

"Good morning," said Deep Thought at last.

"Er... Good morning, O Deep Thought," said Loonquawl nervously, "do you have... er, that is..."

"An answer for you?" interrupted Deep Thought majestically. "Yes. I have."

The two men shivered with expectancy. Their waiting had not been in vain.

"There really is one?" breathed Phouchg.

"There really is one," confirmed Deep Thought.

"To Everything? To the great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything?"

"Yes."

Both of the men had been trained for this moment, their lives had been a preparation for it, they had been selected at birth as those who would witness the answer, but even so they found themselves gasping and squirming like excited children.

"And you're ready to give it to us?" urged Loonquawl.

"I am."

"Now?"

"Now," said Deep Thought.

They both licked their dry lips.

"Though I don't think," added Deep Thought, "that you're going to like it."

"Doesn't matter!" said Phouchg. "We must know it! Now!"

"Now?" inquired Deep Thought.

"Yes! Now..."

"Alright," said the computer and settled into silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable.

"You're really not going to like it," observed Deep Thought.

"Tell us!"

"Alright," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question..."

"Yes...!"

"Of Life, the Universe and Everything..." said Deep Thought.

"Yes...!"

"Is..." said Deep Thought, and paused.

"Yes...!"

"Is..."

"Yes...!!!...?"

"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

42 !?!

But then what was the question?

That will take much longer to calculate?

As some who has built tiny things by comparison, I can’t imagine the feelings you experience when that is done to you on an app YOU created.

Much love and respect to you and everyone else out there building and creating stuff.

Stay positive. What you did brought us here which is exactly where we’re supposed to be.

You can just achieve shared consensus with proof-of-work.
