My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.
The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.
Nice, I was very close to buying a new pair of headphones so happy that a $25 purchase and an hour of work brought them back.
Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.
People get so weird about Dansup.
If Mastodon/Fedi was at the scale those platforms are we would see more harassment, absolutely. It remains to be proven but I think federation enables a lot more eyes on content which implies harassing material can be removed more quickly.
Federation/decentralization solves a lot of problems over centralized social media, but ultimatley you can't engineer human nature.
LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. "Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can't recommend it."
I mean, rollbacks are quite literally a feature to prevent breaking it. That said I've never even had to roll back once.
I replaced the batteries in these exact buds and it made them brand new again. Highly recommend doing this. These are the ones I bought.
Fedora Kinoite.
- You will basically never need the terminal.
- Highly tweakable, but out of the box is very similar to windows
- It's immutable (impossible to break)
- App "store" makes sense and is not weird.
- Extremely fast.
Elite Force is where it's at but Klingon has it's place for sure.
I'm not sure what this is meant to convey but I upvoted it anyway because I didn't want to experience bij.
I had a response typed out but have a question, is this feature pulling in comment feeds from every community the instance is federated with? Or only from communities the individual user is subscribed to?
I'm not sure but the instance was started by the reddit mods I will ask and let you know
Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of Piefed overall. I think you misunderstood my second point a little, I don't want to be "exposed to new things" in my social media per-se, I want to read my chosen subscriptions (with my chosen social groups) and move on.
I see the "issue" of "divided" communities coming up a lot. But to me, the variety of perspectives and moderation styles on the same topic is a major benefit of the Fediverse (to the point I might describe it as its greatest strength) especially when it come to non-technical or social topics like politics. For example Lemmy.ca users are going to have very different perspectives about US politics than Lemmy.us (hypothetically). I'm not sure that it benefits those users to centralize the discussion (not saying that's what's happening exactly but it is something I see come up a lot).
Two reasons:
- There are many steps between "I never wish to see any unmoderated content ever again" and "I wish to see unmoderated content in my feed every day". I don't want to block Lemmy.world communities but I also will go insane if I read those comments every day.
- I can't know what those communities are in advance of their being inserted. I don't want the default option for content in my main feed to be "opt out".
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of hate this? I think most communities are lazily moderated and I don't want to have every goon's unmoderated takes on whatever the topic is forced in front of my eyeballs.
