ValueSubtracted, in Welcome to Lemmyvision! šŸŽ™ļø
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Since Lemmyvision is a homo sapiens only club, startrek.website will not be able to participate directly, and Spockā€™s rendition of ā€œIā€™m the Xā€ is sadly ineligible.

But this is pretty cool!

This has been on our todo list for a while, but turned into a harder nut to crack than I initially assumed. Thanks for the additional info. Iā€™ll comment here and make a new post when this gets sorted.

EDIT: Itā€™s sorted

Weā€™ve had 2FA disabled, because it wasnā€™t working properly at one point. This is a good prompt to look into getting it up and running again, so thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Squibbles, in A new study suggests that the amount of oxygen on Europa is on the lower end of previous estimates. The moon may be uninhabitable.

There seems to be an error in the thumbnail. Thatā€™s the back of Darth vaders head.

SevenOfWine,

Fediverse bug. I see the correct thumbnail, but have seen the wrong thumbnail on other posts when using a kbin account.

Jaccident,

I believe this was a joke, about how this moon looks like a shaved scrotum thatā€™s been savaged by a ferret.

FishLake, in A new study suggests that the amount of oxygen on Europa is on the lower end of previous estimates. The moon may be uninhabitable.

Typo in title. ā€˜Inhabitableā€™ means itā€™s suitable for life, which is not what the study says. You meant to say ā€˜uninhabitableā€™.

SevenOfWine,

Article:

ā€œItā€™s on the lower end of what we would expect,ā€ said Jamey Szalay, a plasma physicist at Princeton University who led the study. But ā€œitā€™s not totally prohibitiveā€ for habitability, he added. ā€¦ ā€œWe donā€™t really know how much oxygen you need to make life,ā€ she said. ā€œSo the fact that itā€™s lower than some earlier, wishful-thinking estimates is not such a problem.ā€

Who knew inflammable meant flammable! (thanks, I fixed the title)

SpaceScotsman, in Is anyone using old.startrek.website?

I was using it, but because it periodically did load fine I assumed I was just having network trouble. Thanks for fixing!

I didnā€™t know it existed. I like it.

Great!

Not sure what you mean by this actually. . .

old.startrek.website

Itā€™s startrek.website but looks like the ā€œold Redditā€ UI

Also, itā€™s working again.

AnarchistArtificer, in The Doctor Who wiki has forked from Fandom and is now self-hosted

Iā€™m glad to see this. When I was playing Baldurā€™s Gate 3, it took me a while to discover bg3.wiki rather than the previous dominant one, which was fextralife. I played the game quite early, so there were a lot of information gaps, and having somewhere that wasnā€™t an ad filled nightmare to consult motivated me to help fill some of those gaps, because it felt like a community space more than a product.

Ashen44,

Indie Wiki Buddy!

This extension auto redirects from fandom and fextralife to the equivalent indie Wiki! Never visit a horrid corporate wiki ever again! (unless youā€™re a monster hunter fan like me ;_;)

@Admin@startrek.website avatar

Good for them! I have said this before, but I would be more than happy to have a chat about providing hosting to M-A or at least offering them wiki.startrek.website (or whatever) assuming itā€™s sustainable of course.

askryan,

I hope theyā€™re open to it. Man what I wouldnā€™t give to use Memory Alpha without all the annoying Fandom garbage.

@askryan @Admin Fandom excessive ad policy is really annoying.

Daxtron2, in A former Gizmodo writer changed his name to ā€˜Slackbotā€™ and stayed undetected for months

Hilariously bad

buckykat, in How I watch star trek

Iā€™m watching star trek on live.hexbear.net right now

Telodzrum, in Come join a Star Trek community free of mods on a power trip where you CAN share ALL opinions

I swear there are more of these popping up than there are poorly managed Klingon houses.

rdyoung,

I was just thinking that this is not how you get people to join, this is how you get people to actively avoid your community.

Got_Bent, in Reddit has a new AI training deal to sell user content

I thought I would miss reddit.

I was wrong.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Quitting a platform is always easier than you think it will be.

Got_Bent,

Facebook definitely came with withdrawals. That one was tough. But five years later, I canā€™t imagine ever going back.

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

I set up a firefox shortcut for my instance with keyword ā€œrā€ so that if I type ā€œr+enterā€ I get startrek.website. Putting that unwanted muscle memory to good use.

NaturalViber,

Man, this is one I am on the way out of. Late, I know. But I genuinely keep up with friends and family there, also facebook marketplace has taken over the game.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

YouTube is the only platform that I donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able to quit any time soon. Hosting video on that kind of scale requires insane amounts of capitol, and P2P isnā€™t reliable enough, and I say this as someone who has streamed torrents before and has tried out PeerTube.

Also even if there was an alternative, having an alternative for creator monitization is even more difficult. LBRY and D-Tube tried to do it with cryptocurrency, but both of those projects seem to have fizzled out (and I think one is flooded with fascists nowadays).

Aggravationstation,

Do you mean for posting content or watching it?

If itā€™s just watching thereā€™s plenty of alternatives. Newpipe and YMusic on Android are pretty awesome. Also thereā€™s Freetube on desktop and Invidious.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

Posting content. Iā€™ve been using NewPipe since the very first version.

Aggravationstation,

Yea, thought that might be the case. I just wanted an excuse to promote Newpipe more than anything there. God I love that app.

Youā€™re right, nothing compares to Youtube for video hosting. What do you post?

refurbishedrefurbisher,

I donā€™t personally post much; I just want a good alternative that will convince the creators I watch to switch to a more libre platform.

OctoFloofy,
@OctoFloofy@kbin.social avatar

Tbf under quitting i understand not interacting with the platform anymore in any way. Just using a different app for that platform isnt really quitting. I still use reddit with a modded 3rd party app so it still works since i never really got into lemmy or kbin (i'm here after months of not opening it just to look what changed) so while i dont use the official way of accessing it i cannot say i quit

Stormygeddon,

I wish I didnā€™t make half my money from commissions set up through reddit.

cuchi, in Reddit has a new AI training deal to sell user content

I HAVE AN IDEA! What aboutā€¦ put the subreddits on private again? /s

SilverShark,

Questin is, is data of private subs still sold? Likely it is.

cuchi,

If Reddit want it, yes. Thatā€™s why that protest was one of the worst attempts of making noise on internet what I ever seen.
