Just give the hooman a rootbeer.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it’s moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I’d argue it’s best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can’t enable Federation on a platform that doesn’t have it.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker. It means that you either:

1. Use their servers - This requires entrusting them with your communities, just like Discord.
2. Host your own private instance - You can control it, but the lack of federation means it’ll be isolated from communicating with other communities. This makes it really difficult to convince people to use your self-hosted servers.

Until Revolt adds a way for different instances to federate, Matrix is really the only other option.

Seems a bit heavy to use full Ubuntu for a single application appliance, but I guess it’s still probably better than Windows.

I remember trying this out a while back and bouncing off it because it was a Windows only app. I’d love a Linux client or even a Web UI to make it platform agnostic.

Right now Syncthing basically fulfills this need for me (including “cloud” saves) outside the nice library UI.

Not aligning these could lead to some hilarious boarding situations.

Is there a canon answer for why Star Trek ships always meet aligned? I always assumed either

1. Ships generally align with the galactic axis (seems unlikely every species would accept the standard).
2. Ships realign automatically when approaching another vessel based on their artificial gravity or something.

I imagine #2 could lead to some comical spinning as two ships keep trying to align to each other.

EDIT: Also, #2 gets exponentially more complicated as the number of ships increases–maybe the smaller ships align to the biggest one?

I think you’re confusing DST with leap days?

We do this now with NTP. Digital clocks have a surprising amount of drift even without relativistic effects.

You realize DST is zero sum, right? Anything you gain in the evening, you lose in the morning, and vice versa.

Also, anything you gain in the spring, you lose in the fall, and vice versa.

Nothing is ever gained.

It’s the change that is an extra inconvenience that causes disruption in people’s plans and circadian rhythms. Also, for the neurotic out there, the clock is technically wrong during DST as it doesn’t reflect the sun’s position in the sky.

Justice for Tuvix!

I like this. Source?

I am top left, my wife is bottom left, and I love her for it.

I think it can work if used to stylize a more standard UI. I think the PiHole LCARS theme does a good job.

I think most self-hosted Git+CI/CD platforms have container registry as a feature, but I’m not aware of a service that is just a standalone registry.

They’ve never forgiven us for living this long.

The slow, steady march to every program on my desktop using native Wayland continues.

Calm down J.K. Rowling.

They probably use bidets.

My friend has this game and we still used the YouTube video to keep the VHS pristine. It worked great and was easier to seek around when we needed.

I always got the impression that Q just decided to make himself the DM for the crew of the Enterprise.
