My father was once falsely accused of being a bak’targ. Calling Gowron Law helped restore honour to my house. 35/9 great service.

Can’t you chuck it back into a reactor and reuse it that way, to help reduce the radioactivity, and get more power back out of it?

This is Kirk and Riker slander.

Kirk doesn’t deserve that kind of reputation, whereas Riker does.

Slight shame that the contractors didn’t start from the end. It could have been funnier if they had taken off the “er” instead.

Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone’s account, disabling their devices in the process.

no headphone jack means you may need to purchase wireless headphones or earbuds and wireless earbuds don’t always have replaceable batteries

They’re also more expensive, even if fairphone does offer their own headphones.

A cheap set of decent wired earphones is $10. $30 if you want something nice, like an IEM.

Bluetooth headphones don’t tend to be quite as cheap, and are usually a good deal more.

That sounds like a horrid decision. Imagine having to troubleshoot a relative’s computer, which isn’t working because their internet is down, or is too slow to support streaming Windows like that.

It just sounds like a nightmare all-round, both from a Microsoft Standpoint, since they would have to build all the hardware to support it, people who would have to troubleshoot an issue that might show up on either the local or networked version of Windows, but not both, and from a security standpoint, since it seems like it would make it a lot easier to just hijack the whole computer using that kind of mechanism, with the user being none the wiser, for the most part.

It’s also accessible with <WinKey> + ;. Not quite sure why Windows has multiple shortcuts for the same menu, but there we are.

Unless it’s using the Registry for some config values.

There’s also no centralised Lemmy site/index yet that centralises that information.

That’s fine and all if you’re looking for content on somewhere like lemmy.ml, or lemmy.world, but you might run into problems if you’re trying to search for something that might be located on beehaw, or sh.it.just.works instead, which doesn’t have the word “lemmy”, and might get skipped.

You also have places like Kbin, which don’t get captured in a search at all, both because they’re not lemmy, and also because they don’t contain the word lemmy, which doesn’t help if you’re trying to search something that you thought was on Lemmy, but is in fact on a Kbin magazine.

There’s something refreshing about an old forum, where you’re not bombarded with advertisements and algorithms, it’s just basic forum goodness, sorted according to activity.

It’s part of what makes Tumblr still rather nice to use, since it’s one of the few modern social media networks that doesn’t default to trying to force you into it, or clutter anything and everything with ads (yet), in spite of the site’s terrible coding.

that’s unexpected. I was under the impression that Peertube didn’t use ActivityPub, so while it can Federate with other Peertube-like sites, sites running Lemmy would be out of the question.

and every single domain for self posts is your local kbin instance. It’s a little silly, but rather fun in its own way.

Given how that’s been going, and how that subreddit apparently got caught in the crossfire, it kind of makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes at Reddit. With a different person revoking it and apologising, it kind of seems like the admins aren’t really communicating to each other, and that some are putting out fires that the others are lighting.

EDIT: No Apology, just an explanation.

They, like Twitter, had good reasons for not allowing it, such as the risk of users editing posts after the fact, and the risk of abusing that privilege to scam other users, so on.

But their development did get stale some years back, and they probably know it, given that Reddit started chasing trends and implementing mostly-unwanted features some probably when they started focusing on trying to keep users on the site, and adding things like image/video uploading (which probably did terrible things to their development costs).

Although I’m curious about how they might address the “clickbait” issue of people having a massively upvoted/boosted post, and then changing the post to say something else entirely.

That seems like it might be a problem if people are allowed to edit titles.

At the same time, it might not fit them. Lemmy is a link aggregator, which seems like extra functionality that they don’t really need, not when existing forum software will do what they need, while also being more stable/mature.

It’s got a very TOS-style of writing and story to it.

I remember seeing a fair few people pitch a fit about the Burn, for example, even though “angry man has a tantrum and nearly blows up the universe”, and “child with godlike powers” are common TOS plots.

They tried something new, which I don’t mind them for, but I don’t think it mixed well with people being used to more TNG-styles plots, and the writing not being that great. Still, it managed to help kickstart the modern revival of Trek, and gave us (non-wheelchair) Captain Pike, so it wasn’t all bad.
