Reddit Refugee
So far I’m liking it. I wasn’t fond of the general attitude people had on reddit though, and I’m seeing some of the pop up as a result of the migration.
I have concerns that the lemmy community will become as toxic as reddit is. Other than that, I am enjoying how small communities are here. I don’t feel like my voice is being drowned out by other users or bots.
Tbh I haven’t read it. I instead saw the will smith movie that has almost nothing to do with the book.
Okay thats pretty good. McDonald’s knows whats up.
And thats the secret. The weaker and more hopeless we are, the more complacent we are.
I just want to point out that starfleet actively oppresses certain groups of people (genetically modified races usually), ignores the needs of their border worlds while simultaneously demanding they adhere to federation laws, and their entire legal system is broken. A judge forced Riker to prosecute Data despite the obvious personal connections.
Star Trek is not as much of a socialist utopia as people like to pretend it is. Its definitely a more liberal society, but equality is not a given.
Theres a reason she’s sometimes referred to as captain insaneway.
I mean this is the same captain that casually disregarded the prime directive whenever it was convenient for her.
I think the closest we might would be a mixed economy utopia, where capitalism co-exists with things like workers rights and whatnot. Its probably difficult to write a believeable capalist utopia because it requires that the people at the top are all saints.
Although, with the advances in AI, maybe someone could write a story about some megacorp AI meeting everybody’s needs. It might be an interesting writing experiment.
I used to host my portfolio site through them actually.
Its not comparable at all. Reddit was a customer boycott. This on the other hand will cause a massive and very expensive logistical nightmare.
Of all the examples he could have used, he picked something that fucking spins.
Also Quartz is used extensively in electronics, including medical devices that help people with healing or managing their ailments.
Its also worth noting that even though musk isn’t happy about it, legally he can’t do shit. He fired those people; Meta did not poach those employees.
Agreed. More instances should defederate from anything related to Meta. Im here because a corporate entity utterly destroyed something I liked. I don’t want that again.
I cant wait for the heat wave to be turned into a summoningsalt parody.
Or you could burn life’s house down, with the lemons
God i hate how utterly useless search engines are now
I miss all the personal home pages. You could get a real sense of who somebody was based on what they chose to display. Maybe they had pictures of the favourite game or tv show, or their own little web diary. Now its all just santizied profile pages that have virtually zero room for creativity. It’s too sterile now.
New trek tries to do something similar, at least in Strange New Worlds anyways. Theres a whole courtroom episode regarding a certain member of the enterprise. Its a pretty new episode so I won’t spoil anything for people. Anyways, theres more than 100 years between the two shows and basically nothing has changed.
Bashir got an exception provided his father spend time in prison. I wouldn’t call that a particularly major win, but thats just me.
