This, and he wanted connection from someone of his species, and the first officer of the one ship that can overcome the plot debuff happens to be that species, a species we barely see outside this plot....it's writing so bad you can't see the show through it. Emotional stories are appropriate, it's why Troi was a bridge officer. But this show was constantly setting up unsolvable problems that could only be fixed by this one crew, which breaks immersion. Good trek doesn't have 50 Galaxy or universe ending threats only fixable by plot-armored main characters, it has ship, person, and planet level threats giving you the space to appreciate the human story. Even DS9 kept the stories on missions while the thread of the war was just a hum with reasonable stakes.
We have one here with a separate prep area that we have a relationship with the manager and staff, and it has been SOOOO good, and we shout their praises everywhere we can. Its great to see some places actually seek training on how to avoid pitfalls, and the places that distinguish between gluten free and celiac safe
I have an 11 year old with celiac and relying on user report resources like "Find Me Gluten Free" means we essentially only eat at 3 places; I consider this akin to ADA requirements.
Yea, if people get too annoyed seeing the same story in 4 communities, I think eventually they consolidate down to one, and the fracturing reduces engagement across ALL the communities; a couple become ghost towns, etc. It's a different sense of engagement to see 4 threads with 2-4 comments instead of seeing 1 with 20.
I think Lemmy needs a better way to federate communities, so if you sub to say a "Star Trek" community on 3 instances, you don't get the same post 3 times, but instead it's somehow linked and content federates; this would be at the community and not instance level, so there's more community self-governance, and communities can migrate instances without so much intervention from instance admins. I think that will really help growth and decentralization.
This video is extremely relevant and points to reasons his is impossible, and the Italian government being currently run by an actual Nazis bodes poorly to any megaproject https://youtu.be/ei-bG4XfB4s
This has been the most wonderful summer ever. I'm an atheist but I wish the right wing cultists could draw correlation to which parts of the country are being climate favored by their diety and consider their policies as cause.
My son has celiac and Royal Caribbean specifically accommodates him super well. We did a Mediterranean cruise, visited 4 countries, didn't have to constantly search for gluten free food in languages we didn't know, and didn't have to repack out stuff every other day.
These releases are nuts; paper and many mods haven't even completed 1.21.5-1.21.6, I hope the pack versions don't rev because this is so much change it's killing mod devs, myself included.
Ok, understood. So if you're not online, you pretty much lose messages, or are they cached and the next time the sender is online you get them?
My use case is a kid using a minecraft server and wants to talk to his friends, and we're using mumble now, but they want "discord" and they want things like plugins that allow mgmt from the discord channels, which I would be willing to try to develop, but the model pretty much requires a server to be online.
In general, I'm trying to make a small internet for my kids and their friends to have "normal" internet experiences without being on the wider internet. No youtube, but pinchflat -> jellyfin. No discord, but mumble. No google drive, but nextcloud.
I have been exploring self-hosted Discord alternatives and had been looking at Rocket Chat, so I am wondering what is the pitch for this versus something like that? I am very early in my exploration, of course.
No, lots of people out there years out from an accident or injury can't work and it leads to the opioid addiction cycle; having an option to control the pain and get people able to either work or do hobbies again, or do things with their families, would be huge.
