It’s also an avenue for attacks.

FWIW I agree, but I would say imperfect instead, on account of the many trans people I have heard say they related in some ways.

I just watched this episode recently. If Klingons don’t care why should humans?

For anyone who hasn’t seen this, it is an excellent documentary and well worth it even if DS9 isn’t your favorite.

Y’all will always blame the woman for the actions of a man.

jesus christ why do some of you people even watch the show
- Comment on How can I contribute processing power to the community? 1 week ago:
A Fedi instance requires a time commitment, there are some good suggestions in here but I recommend some alternative frontends.

- Comment on An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon 2 weeks ago:
When using the official Mastodon app (as suggested in the guide) “instances” are not a factor at all (unless the user specifically goes out of their way). A new user could have never even heard of the term “instance” and the above steps would work fine.
You don’t just download the app, create an account, and go.
Actually with Mastodon this is literally how it works.

I visited once and it is really funny how you drive through normal looking suburbs thinking “there is no way we are anywhere near Mintaka III” then suddenly there it is.

Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.
I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.

I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

This is my not-safe-for-Reddit opinion but I thought the S1 Klingons were great, interesting and impressive.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.
- Comment on Usernames using randomized nonsense 3 weeks ago:
If an instance has a lot of spam, admins tend to notice and block it. In the future it’s likely admins will have more tools too, but for now the system works pretty well.

That is correct and echoes what I said

This only applies if you AND the server owner don’t have a pass: …plex.tv/…/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-pe…
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 4 weeks ago:
I agree with your overall sentiment but also literally 100% of BlueSky users are on one instance.
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 5 weeks ago:
BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.
- Comment on Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post 5 weeks ago:
I love the moments when it’s demonstrated that Ferengi can be actually very astute when it comes to diplomacy/interplanetary relations… their culture just has a completely different set of values.
- Comment on Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post 5 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s certainly not the worst series of episodes and as you implied it does some good world building. It just doesn’t do it for me the same way that “why is everyone treating O’Brien like he’s shady?” does.

Those look like a forbidden snack! I also didn’t know about that book thanks for sharing.
- Comment on What is Docker? 5 weeks ago:
People are talking about privacy but the big reason is that it gives you, the owner, control over everything quickly without ads or other uneeded stuff. We are so used to apps being optomized for revenue and not being interoperable with other services that it’s easy to forget the single biggest advantage of computers which is that programs and apps can work together quickly and quietly and in the background. Companies provide products, self-hosting provides tools.

- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
With Mastodon you can migrate your account, Lemmy can’t migrate (yet). But the difference between Fediverse and commercial platforms is that you can access the same network of content from different instances. With Twitter/Reddit etc. everyone is forced onto a single instance (and a single moderation policy).
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
Lemmy.world is the second largest Lemmy instance, and less than a third of all users. If someone doesn’t like their rules it is trivial for a person to move to an instance who’s ruleset better aligns with their wishes.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
It’s entirely possible in the future, since ActivityPub accounts can be “forwarded”. It’s a little clunky but look at Mastodon.
