At no point does the question say that the pizzas are the same diameter.

The actual dialogue is good, I agree. But even the best talented actors in the world can’t undo the mixing of a space ship transmitting sound as if there is air while going faster than light.

Right now TNG. I’m re-watching it with my fiancé. The sound of the ship whooshing past is deafening.

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen the rest of the shows. So I don’t remember how good their mixing is.

For me Star Trek is one of the worst offenders of this.

Can’t sell my data if I’ve never given them any

Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.

It is open source. But from what I can tell the accounts are largely still hosted centrally, and it isnt federated in any way, which isn’t great. Anybody can host an instance or server.

So ultimately it looks like a massive step up from Discord, with some small issues here and there.

Same. I just hope my friend group and by some extension the gaming community chooses something that won’t fall into the same pitfal of closed source for profit organizations.

I hope the transition is towards matrix, or something like it.

Kubernetes sounds like an awfuly strange strain of weed.

Did this one early this year. Luckily I just made a backup of absolutely everything just beforehand.

So I just gave up, nuked everything with a reinstall and I was good to go.

You like science fiction because of how it makes you feel about the future. I like science fiction because space ships cool.

We are not the same.

Got any recommendations for where to find said APKs?

Tbh this one is a pretty easy one to undo at least. Just give them stupid OP magic items and have the BBEG wonder into camp unarmed.

So this one esentially boils down to “you only play once and your friends are pissed”

I have never had any of my MC servers run without a whitelist, even the one I had publicly listed on planet minecraft back in the day. You should know who has access to your machines on some level.

Had this happen with one dude in college. I had no clue why he joined at all. He spent every session on his phone held 6 inches from his face, and always had to be told when it was his turn in combat, just for him to have no clue who to attack.

That seems oddly specific and personal.

The side effect is intended to be bad.

There sure is a lot of “you poop yourself every time you use it” type responses here.

It’s (I hope) self aware, so there’s that at least
