It’s nice to know the engineers aren’t scrolling reddit during their breaks at least

This is very cool. Wordpress also has activitypub integration. I would love it if I could comment “directly” on blog posts with a Mastodon (or Lemmy!) account.

Truly one of the best from a collection of already great movie themes.

It’s actually astonishing, right?

I set up a firefox shortcut for my instance with keyword “r” so that if I type “r+enter” I get startrek.website. Putting that unwanted muscle memory to good use.

Yes, a shame how it ended. I respect Jon for sticking to his principles.

Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is fun!

That stikes me as an awfully cynical take, not everyone was around for the original release. And being alone, watching a compressed stereo stream at home is just not the same experience. I’m curious how you might celebrate the 40th anniversary differently?

A YouTuber I know once described Star Trek as being “globe Earth propaganda”.

Ah, yes that makes more sense. I love the movie but it is quite different. I also love David Lynch, so that helps.

Assuming they can keep Spaceship from exploding.

Not that these sorts of things should be rushed but there are only four surviving Apollo astronauts that walked on the surface, and it would be really special if they could all witness it again.

Ugh I’d love watch this, I’ve heard nothing but god things from fellow Trekkies. But unfortunately watching it would take valuable time away from re-watching Star Trek for the twentieth time.

I checked your post history to see if your memes were dank but I didn’t see much OC?

The development of New Exciting Features™ will probably be slower on nonprofit systems, but the enormous costs of moderation will be effectively zero, while simultaneously improving in quality. My prediction for what we’ll eventually see is “fun” ad-supported commercial platforms (assuming they can afford moderation), and a somewhat more “serious” discussion-based Fediverse.

Love this idea

I’m pretty sure that’s within the rules at c/Risa and c/StarTrek

Yeah for a while Lemmy kinda felt like we-have-Reddit-at-home but nowadays I’m reminded of how it felt in Reddit’s early days (ie: less exhausting), but older and wiser.

36k is referring to daily active users, not total accounts, so the whole network is more comperable to a single medium-large subreddit.

It’s my hope that decentralization and federation can help preserve much of the small-sub vibes while scaling up.

Corgana, 5 months ago

Yeah exactly I honestly I think that’s the single biggest factor in what makes the fediverse superior

I’m with you 100%, but I’m also becoming convinced that the quality of work from volunteer moderators who are members of the community and are motivated by maintaining the health of said community is going to be significantly better than the efforts of someone who is paid to do the same thing.

drown the world in more shallow, meaningless deepfake AI culture

I find the imagery of a bunch of people entertaining themselves to death while non-sentient automated machines pump video into their eyeballs so deeply creepy that I’d like to assume it could never happen on a large scale, since a feeling of “connection” is kind of a big part of art consumption.

But part of me also knows that there will be a non-inconsequential part of society that wouldn’t have any problems with it.

That app is shockingly bad. I do not pretend it’s easy to make an app, or expect that everyone’s app should be as slick as Netflix’s. But for a service that’s coming up on a decade old, it’s astonishing that I can’t even use it half the time on the most popular TV brand.

💯 Didn’t have the votes until now according to the article though.

Stalker (1979) I like scifi weirdness. The book it’s based on Roadside Picnic is also great.

I’m not much of a horror guy generally but The Thing I love.
