Using recycled parts is the best advice. As you said, it’s almost certainly overkill and the price can’t be beat.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 6 days ago:
Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 6 days ago:
“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.
- Comment on Mastodon is improving profiles and getting ready for quote posts 1 week ago:
I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.

Very nice (and sad)

- Comment on The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool. 1 week ago:
I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.
- Comment on Fchan, the federated imageboard, is apparently still alive 1 week ago:
Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 2 weeks ago:
Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:
- Historical allegories
- Political intrigue
- Mystery
- Anti-racist themes
- Spaceship battles
- Awkward Chekhov
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 2 weeks ago:
BASHIR: Out of all the episodes of star trek, which ones were canon and which ones weren’t? GARAK: My dear Doctor, they’re all canon. BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical episodes? GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical episodes.

This is pretty fucked up, OP

The top finger kinda gives it away imo
- Comment on Cheeto devouring his nation 2 weeks ago:
I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 4 weeks ago:
“EEE” doesn’t really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.
- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 4 weeks ago:
Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.
- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 4 weeks ago:
Still not fully integrated, but it’s nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond “follow a handful of users who opted-in”. I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 weeks ago:
Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don’t know if it’s fair to say they are holding anything hostage.
- Comment on Harris Yulin Gave 'Deep Space Nine' One of Its Greatest Performances 4 weeks ago:
I [posted last month on this topic(startrek.website/post/22538516) but I too forgot how many bangers are in Season 2 especially, they just tend to get overshadowed by the later seasons.
- Comment on Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media 4 weeks ago:
This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.
- Comment on Paramount+ Announces Fifth and Final Season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4 weeks ago:
I say this as someone who generally liked all the new shows, but since the premiere of Disco in 2017 this whole era of Trek has felt unstable.
Again, I liked everything that was produced, but I also feel that these “premiere TV” styled, $5 million+ budget/episode series are clearly not sustainable business model for these shows that are also only on air a couple of weeks out of the year.
- Comment on Is it really doom scrolling if it's just true? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly, otherwise it’s just, well, scrolling.
- Comment on Official Season 3 Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 5 weeks ago:
It was two years…
- Comment on To whom it may concern. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think starfleet captains have the authority to command the hearts and minds of their officers.
- Comment on Is slrpnk.net down for everyone else too? 5 weeks ago:
It got cloudy
- Comment on Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse? 5 weeks ago:
Not liking someone is not a good reason to root against decentralized platforms, IMO. The entire point of decentralization is that nobody gets to control the experience and who is/isn’t allowed to participate.
