Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations"
1·6 months ago> Batel’s Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, “Well, they’re just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water.” It really doesn’t. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it’s basically, “because we said so.”
god bless Jammer.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better
241·7 months ago> None of this “Universal Star-child” bullshit.
Bang on. It’s the same reason I couldn’t stand Discovery. There’s a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.
Fan fic with higher production values.
I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.
Sorry you’re just in the wrong because you don’t know how to easily spell my new app nncjcosiwhebf
duh.

10·7 months agoThanks for posting about this thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange
I’m interested (in a tired defeatist way) in what I need to do to stay on the right side.
It sounds like geoblocking is probably the quickest legally safe course of action, so perhaps it’s bye Mississippi too…

I do see there are tags, which at least shows some versioning?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•CMS/Newsletter plattform Ghost joins the fediverse
30·8 months agoHeyyyy, I’m one of the “many more”! :laughing:
Seriously this is super cool. With Ghost and WordPress on the fediverse we’re that much closer to connecting the social web and the world wide web together.
There’s some concern that this doesn’t really apply to the threadiverse, but it does, and I will work my damned hardest that it does. WordPress blogs already show up as communities here. Ghost blogs don’t, but I will continue to advocate for it.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Followers-only replies are broken between pixelfed & mastodon (non-mutuals can’t see them)
2·9 months agooccultist8128@infosec.pub “followers only” is a concept that is Mastodon specific, and Pixelfed supports it.
There’s nothing to change at the protocol level itself.
Sending the reply to OP in your example would be a betrayal of the visibility of followers only… which is kind of silly but technically correct.
Better would be followers + participants, but that’s up to the individual implementors to adopt.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking?
5·9 months agopumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it’s a forum and that’s literally how it was done way back then.
You can follow tags as well.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What are the forum-like communities that are federated?
2·9 months agoLoops is newly funded, so that round is still active. I still wouldn’t get hype about it until it happens though! 😉

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What are the forum-like communities that are federated?
17·9 months agoUnfortunately it actually isn’t. NodeBB (me!) and Discourse are the only two forums that federate.
NodeBB has full two-way support with discovery features, Discourse is mostly broadcast-style (i.e. you can’t find Lemmy posts from Discourse)
Theoretically, it shouldn’t matter.
In the ideal case every connected server should host a full and complete copy of the data from the originating server (as xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org says, that’s B)
Reality is a bit different, but not enough to warrant always picking B. Just share whichever you’d like, but B is the most right.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem.
3·9 months agoHi! We should chat.
NodeBB also does this, and currently still does. A category (group actor) can follow another category (also a group actor).
It essentially is synchronization of categories using 1b12.
Proof of concept does work but it needs reworking in some ways. The largest issue is that Lemmy itself doesn’t understand when a group actor tries to follow a community.
