As long as it isn’t fucking Chromium, that’s good.

Because they are trolls whose purpose is to actively harm everybody else. They do not deserve our tolerance.

The trouble with zsh is that it’s permissive-licensed, which makes it strictly inferior to GPLv3 bash no matter what other features it might have.

As for your other point, there is no good universal Lemmy linking thing for posts.

In another comment I mentioned that there’s this lemmyverse link thing. From the way you phrased that I’m not sure if you don’t know about it, or do know but just don’t think it’s good, but I think it’s about halfway to being useful.

What it needs to get the rest of the way is to:

• default to some kind of load-balanced or at least round-robin instance selection instead of defaulting to the original instance of the link given, and
• be built into the Lemmy UI(s) so that it’s easy to grab a lemmyverse.link URL to share.

IMO what we need is a different sort of thing more like load-balancing than caching, where users from outside the Fediverse (i.e. who aren’t logged in to the server whose URL they’re trying to load and thus probably don’t actually have a strong preference about which instance they actually view it from) get redirected to other instances to help spread out the load.

There’s no particular reason why the entirety of Hacker News and Reddit needs to be piling in to view this thing that was posted to !linux@lemmy.ml just because a feddit.org user happened to have been the one who wrote it (and possibly shared it).

Posts and comments already have a chain icon for the URL of the view of them on the user’s current server and a fediverse graph icon for the URL of them on the poster’s home server, but maybe there needs to be a third icon for the lemmyverse link url or something like that.

That’s not a “post from feddit.org,” that’s a “post by a feddit.org user on a lemmy.ml community.” It may be DDOSing feddit.org because that server’s view of it is the link that happened to go viral, but there’s no reason folks outside Lemmy couldn’t view it on the server it’s actually posted on, or some other third node like lemmy.world or whatever.

IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.

(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)

Bashir wishes he were like Blanche.

I do think we’re supposed to recognize that Rom is actually very skilled though. We see it through Nog’s opinion of him, and how well he does after he joins the Bajoran maintenance crew, despite his first initial awkward interactions.

He also invented those self-replicating cloaked mines that stopped the Dominion from coming through the wormhole and saved the Alpha Quadrant.

But still, the fact that the holosuites didn’t deteriorate after Rom quit working for Quark suggests the first possibility rather than the second.

They couldn’t have been sick of the trope because they brought it back for Voyager.

That’s why I wrote “Starfleet engineer” instead of “Geordi” specifically, BTW: the holodecks (and Sickbay holoemitters) B’Elanna was responsible for were less than 100% reliable, too.

Yeah, that was the flawless holosuites saving them from a transporter fuck-up.

I think it’s unfortunate how it kinda undermines Star Trek’s message of fully-automated luxury gay space communism, but I can’t help but point out that Quark’s for-profit holosuites worked flawlessly throughout the entire run of Deep Space Nine.

Or maybe Rom was just that much more competent than a Starfleet engineer.

Next semester I’m sanitizing the computers. Students will use LibreOffice and they’ll like it.

*Pulaski. As much as it might’ve pleased Rick Berman, casting Polanski would’ve made it a very different show.

I’m sure it didn’t help your case that it was also full of thorns.
