You may never see the soda fountain the same again
  • I love those machines. Diet cherry decaf vanilla etc etc etc....

  • Potentially big lore to address in the remainder of Strange New Worlds regarding Klingons.
  • The revised Trill makeup in DS9 made that show literally unwatchable!

    EDIT: In earnest, I do find the hoop-jumping process of trying to find some canon explanations/connections a lot of fun, as long as nobody takes them too seriously (hard mode).

  • We can do better
  • Honeypot thread - admins take note

  • We can do better
  • 99% of online Tankies promote fascist positions, but pretend to be "left" so as to present as more palatable to left-leaning "normies" dissatisfied with the state of democracy.

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?
  • Yeah you're right, "atomic" is not the same thing as "immutable", but they are related terms and OP appeared to be using them interchangeably so 🤷‍♀️

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?
  • I didn't say bricking, I was responding to the bit you wrote about immutability being "a fad".

  • The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky
  • Yes absolutely, and that's why I don't think commercial social media will die. But I do think it will come to more be associated with activities gambling or vaping.

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?
  • Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don't think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?
  • idk I've gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I'm being honest I think they're going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux's entire history.

  • Post in r/RedditAlternatives inquiring about Reddit alternatives aimed towards women
  • I'm a little surprised a womens only instance hasn't sprung up yet. It's a situation that would need more specific moderation needs.

  • Where can we download the Nintendo Switch emulator 'Yuzu' now?
  • Sudachi is also being updated, though it's entirely minor issues and not compatibility related yet.

  • How to get friends to switch over?
  • Fair warning that Element is not anywhere close to being as polished as Discord, but it doesn't hurt to just suggest to try it out and see what the reception is like. As others have said you probably don't push the matter too hard but it doesn't hurt to ask and lay out your reasons.

  • That's right! It goes in the square hole.
  • Yeah it's funny how something on a "vibes" level just made me feel like me something was off and made me look into it closer. I worry that one day I won't have that weird feeling anymore.

  • The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky
  • There will always be two types of users: people looking to connect and people looking to be entertained. Fedi is better at the former and commercial better at the latter.

  • Why do you use the distro you use?
  • Haven't used the command line since installing Kinoite, it's... weird.

  • Let's be clear, this is not what "Space opera" means...
  • Thank you for teaching me about RedLib. I thought the libReddit project was done with the API changes.

  • Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?

    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?

    Lemmy mentioned in an r/coolguides post "A cool guide for leaving big tech." - You know what to do

    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!
