everything runs on Valve time.

Shit, I guess we were lucky to get SteamOS 3 then!

I wonder if you could guesstimate based on ad-buys - cost, interactions, etc.

More like Rom.

💯

If you’re just getting into Trek, start with TNG season 3. Follow that up either with TNG seasons 1 & 2, or jump into Voyager.

For a darker Trek, watch DS9 - but be aware the first few seasons are very uneven and it gets a LOT better. It’s arguably the best of all the Trek series and well worth the investment to get past the first few seasons.

Enterprise was ok. It’s held up well, except for the theme song which was always trash. Don’t watch the series finale - just, don’t.

For the new series, SNW is the best of the live action bunch. Picard S1 and S2 are steaming piles while S3 was enjoyable and what S1 should have been. I personally enjoyed S1 and S2 of Discovery, while everything past that was truly terrible IMO. Prodigy was really good, if you can get past that it’s geared towards kids (which is obvious from time to time).

You’ve already enjoyed Lower Decks, so 👍

This seems like a heavy handed mod overreach that we are trying to escape on Reddit

It’s the same mods (or so I’ve been told).

Yes and no? Maybe? I’m still figuring out how all this works lol. I know that instances take on the load of their users and communities.

It’s gotta start somewhere though. It makes sense that as refugees flock over they’ll gravitate towards the largest instance, because the expectation is that’s where the usage is and they don’t yet grok how the Fediverse works. As they settle in, I’d expect a number of them to spread out a bit. Once we can migrate accounts I’d expect the load to be distributed even better.

Not OP, but when they pivoted and included the web into the core of the OS. It was like, wait, what??

Neat!

Unfortunately that doesn’t help.

you can block instances

Slight correction (not to be pedantic, we’re all learning here): you can currently block communities, but not instances. (Apparently being able to block instances at the user-level is coming)

They’re building the plane as we’re flying and simultaneously boarding more passengers.

Quite the perfect analogy.

Same. There’s a massive difference in clicking for info, and clicking for entertainment.

And reading through them it looks like they took the bulk of the most judgmental reddit users. Good riddance, I say. Let them echo-chamber themselves into oblivion, we’ll build our own communities with blackjack and hookers!

Fuck em. Lol

I think you’re 100% right.

It could also be that their definition of “bad behavior” is overly broad and thin-skinned. Which fits with everything I’ve seen from there so far.

Could simply be a quick and efficient litmus test of the sorts of people you’re dealing with. Over on Reddit, if there’s even a whiff that you don’t agree with the narrative-du-jour you get dogpiled.

I feel like this is the next step for me on my 3d-printing journey, but I have 0 experience with CAD. How do you design parts like this? (Note - I’ve done 0 research). Is there a how-to-for-dummies you can point me towards?
