Well, there’s a known install bug, and every time I try to install it on my machine, said bug hits.

When it can actually install the software I need, I’ll consider it. As is, they still haven’t figured out how to install Battle Net.

There’s coffee in that quadrant.

Janeway is the best kind of coffee snob.

I’m fond of Judith Hoag’s performance. Also, I hate that Paige’s April basically never interacted with Casey. Whit doesn’t count.

The Klingons are out there, and we’re down here playing Century 23!

Well, Ireland didn’t get unified either.

Gonzo wearing Spock ears just seems too apropos.

I’ll rate it as: Ancient Repost / 10.

In any language, LLAP.

I’m gonna bet on “Akoocheemoya”.

TNG.

Anything from Bernd is great.

My experience on Mbin says that the search is pretty good. It might be skewed because I mostly search for magazines, though.

That’s basically correct, yes. I don’t see the fediverse platform(s) as being “special” compared to others. Sure, there’s political and social momentum that keeps people here, especially due to anticorporate causes. People are here because they got ticked about the Reddit API changes, the ads, and the monetization (Reddit Gold, etc).

If any of those things change, people will see that they’re not getting the value they were looking for, and will go back.

If you think it’s just a matter of “they don’t care”, go ahead and write the code yourself.

There’s one big issue with that: I don’t care enough either. It’s not a priority for me.

Then all the Fediverse is, is just a bump in the road for Reddit and Twitter.

If the devs care about that part of the software (or any dev who’s got the time and interest since it’s open-source), they would be working on it. They’ve signalled to users that they don’t care. Let those who care do it. And if no one cares, then it doesn’t need to be done.

Fair point about his actions, and I’m glad to see whales splashing about in the pond with the rest of us. I disagree strongly about everyone paying. We ‘pay’ by adding content and being members of the community. We pay by expanding the network and being a negative to Reddit. Money shouldn’t need to change hands.

See, I get your point on PeerTube, but I counter with the fact that we did have video online before YouTube. That wasn’t the revolution. It was the free hosting and free viewing that made YT a juggernaut. Same with streaming before ryan.tv. Before it was free, it was extremely niche. When monetary investment stopped being needed, it hit the mainstream. If the monetization of video content comes directly from viewers, you will go back to dedicated hobbyists and those who are certain that videos will be funded in advance.
