Eh, I think you're projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got "butthurt" because he didn't want to play with you.

It's no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn't think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.

He said "this" experiment, not "the fediverse" which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).

That said, I'm honestly curious what do you care about his "toxicty" if he's not an admin of your instance? You don't seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?

I'm glad we agree.

What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.

EDIT: Which is accurate in my mind at least when it comes to Lemmy

Sounds like a major perk of that instance to me.

Man I am the complete opposite. I need my browser to display the Web with tons and tons of tweaks and adjustments and filters in place to make it actually readable for me. Rawdogging the Web in 2025 is wild.

I wanted a very 90s web-feeling GIF of a TOS science division badge

Then I'd consider this silly little guy a success.

I don't disagree, but OP didn't ask for trend predictions. Anyone who tries to convince you "things" are worse today than than they were in 1995 is either trying to gaslight you, or doesn't consider the experience of the LGBT community to be as equally valuable as everyone else.

Using a camera on public property in the EU is broadly very legal.

Using recycled parts is the best advice. As you said, it's almost certainly overkill and the price can't be beat.

Unless you’re part of a marginalized group I suppose.

This is a pretty dismissive take. "Sure, things have improved for the blacks and queers, but what about us... uh, regular folk?"

I have to assume that's what it was trained on...

Another great night of episodes! Featuring Tuvix because people have some strong feelings!

  • TOS (8ET): This Side of Paradise
  • TNG (9ET): I, Borg
  • DS9 (10 ET): Shadows and Symbols
  • VOY (11 ET): Tuvix
  • ENT (midnight): The Breach"

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"

Someone should probably jump in and explain what federation means.

 

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

 

Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
