  @pineapplelover@lemm.ee you can only access by entering a semantically correct invocation of tar as run on a POSIX box from 1978.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space.

  It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.)

  To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all :smile:

  @miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com everything in Hamilton is sketchy if you're not from the Hammer 😝

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Star Trek’ series beams into Hamilton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you live in the GTA, you should definitely check out The Cotton Factory! Cool art and makerspace.

  Unfortunately in one of the sketchier parts of Hamilton, but that seems to be par for the course for these types of places.

  @ussmojave@startrek.website yeah, I'm watching it now! It's pretty well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Levi McClain: Klingon Music Theory is Weird⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, Human music theory is also weird.

  A lot of what we teach our kids about music theory is rooted in the firm foundation of "it is this way because it just is, so just remember it."

  Like why is the circle of fourths and fifths the way it is? Because it just is. Remember it. When you're learning key signatures why doesn't the key match the signature (D major is F# and C#,. but Bb major has a Bb and an Eb?!)? Because it just is. Remember it.

  It's no wonder music theory gets completely lost on kids. It doesn't make any sense!

  @rimu@piefed.social interesting, how does this differ from tags?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Citing Tariff Uncertainty, Star Trek 1:6-Scale Figure Company EXO-6 Suspends Shipments to USA Collectors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It's pretty wild how wide-ranging these tariffs affect small scale manufacturers with in and out of the United States.

  I've been hearing scattered reports across different industries all saying the same thing:

  1. They have 60 days or less of inventory remaining.
  2. They cannot order more because nobody Stateside will pay for those items at prices increased to offset the tariffs.

  For companies with razor thin margins, even 1% changes the calculus. A 145% tariff is already well over the point of no return.

  Let's clarify something here. Mastodon follower only posts don't have the "public pseudo user" addressed, do they?

  That's the important piece that this whole thing hinges upon

  If it is present, Mastodon is a fault. If not, Pixelfed messed up.

  Am I mistaken?

  For example, a followers-only post is addressed to the followers collection of the author, at minimum. When NodeBB sees this, it doesn't even consider it public, because the public pseudo user isn't addressed. We also have no concept of "followers only", but we handle them just fine.

  @fauxpseudo@lemmy.world as I learned, the latter—kai oats—is Canadian.

  @malikmuaddibsoong@startrek.website it's been a long road, gettin' from there to here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Season 3 Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  @fordbeeblebrox@lemmy.world that's because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.

  It makes Enterprise worth watching.

  @lost_my_mind@lemmy.world hate to break it to you, but Nokia sold their brand to HMD Global, and their new phones are ... lacking in the indestructibility department. They are hefty though, I will say.

  I owned two of them, and I got the ones that worked well. Some of the QC was wonky too.

  @dannyboy@sh.itjust.works me too! The fact that I wasn't alone in making this mistake kind of goes to show the kind of people on fedi lol
