X is testing new paid membership tiers to compensate for poor ad revenue
  • Infrastructure I think. The last few waves of invites have brought instability to the system if i recall

  • A question about ST: Picard - is season 2 completely ret-conned?
  • On the whole, i enjoyed S2, but if I was to give it a numerical rating, I'd say 4/10, below average for Trek.

    One of my bigger complaints would be with how watered down the Borg Queen was in terms of threat. We've previously seen Borg assimilation happen in mere seconds, and the assimilation of the Dr. took multiple episodes to resolve.

    As for my biggest complaint, it'd be the setting. A jump to the past is a nice trip for a 2 or 3 parter in Trek, but a whole season just didn't jive that much for me.

    On the other hand, S3, that was some of the best NuTrek I've seen so far.

  • AI-focused tech firms locked in ‘race to the bottom’, warns MIT professor
  • There will always be someone who is either arrogant, greedy, or dumb enough to do anything.

  • What made you determined to leave Twitter?
  • getting an audience to move is about as easy as asking a fish to fly. It's much easier to just post on as many different platforms as we can.

  • Carrying on an old tradition. What features / issues should I work on next?
  • I'd like the option to exclude a community from an instance filter. There's a community I'm interested in in an instance that is 90% garbage.

    If a subscribed community could bypass the filters, that'd be fantastic

  • What made you determined to leave Twitter?
  • I've stopped being a reader on Twitter and rarely interact with anything there, but I have a big chunk of my audience still there, so it's still part of my posting schedule.

  • My poor RAM...
  • that sounds like just plain old paranoia and fear mongering

  • I'll just sort it myself
  • let's talk about Ruby

    Ruby like most programming languages doesn't support bare words, [undefined variable exception]

    but if you define a particular method_missing, suddenly Ruby supports bare words. [ruby repeating what was typed]

    Now this isn't deserving of wat. this actually shows just how awesome Ruby is. [Drummer_t-rex.jpg]

    But if you actually do this then....

    Wat

  • According to Elon Musk’s own math, the company formerly known as Twitter has lost 90% of its value and could be worth just $4 billion
  • luckily, he has minimal influence over SpaceX, and only really provide high level direction. Same with Tesla.

    Twitter, though... the turnaround time on his whims is staggering

  • It's real. Twitter Shadowbanning is back.
  • audiences will rarely move from platform to platform. For content creators, we have to go to where our audience is, or provide an incentive to move elsewhere. That's the main reason why there hasn't been a decent competitor to YouTube, Twitter, nor Twitch. The audiences there are entrenched.

  • What is the worst scenes in all of star trek?
  • TOS had nonsense stardates. TNG actually had a loose formula based on the season and episode number.

  • What is the worst scenes in all of star trek?
  • surprisingly, SNW actually had a minor plotline that extended past the episode where there was time travel. So not wholly "Nothing actually happened"

  • More dog owners are questioning vaccines like rabies after COVID
  • At least in Canada, rabies vaccines are legally mandated

  • The dreaded ring (by Pedro Arizpe)
  • I only call my friends and family if it's time sensitive or urgent.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • This is what I'm thinking of doing. Lets me host my own content and not rely on other instances to stay alive.

  • Pharmaceutical industrial complex rule
  • both the name of the drug and/or the manufacturer.

  • Pharmaceutical industrial complex rule
  • Canada is a bit on the weird side too. For us companies can either advertise what their drug does, or advertise their name, but not both.

  • Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord
  • Yep, one of the platforms I'm looking at, and seems to be the second best contender for me. Tumblr of all places is where I'm feeling most at home

  • Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord
  • People use different platforms for different reasons.

    I personally use Lemmy because it's currently the best alternative to Reddit. I use Discord because it's the most popular instant messaging platform, and I haven't had issues with it. I'm currently looking for a replacement for Twitter/X as I'm not confident with the way that platform is headed.
