It's annoying to be treated that way isn't it?

Please don't sealion me.

That's a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like "Torvalds Drops support After Clash!"

EDIT: New rule?

I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.

Not positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.

Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:

  • Historical allegories
  • Political intrigue
  • Mystery
  • Anti-racist themes
  • Spaceship battles
  • Awkward Chekhov

Yeah haha, as the other guy said, this drive definitely seems on the louder side of average, but the thing I wanted to illustrate is the pattern of the sound which I think is distracting at any volume.

It's probably a matter of taste, but every one I've ever heard was absolutely not something I would want next to me on my desk while I was trying to focus.

Those used enterprise drives are actually highly reliable but they do make a ton of very unpleasant sounding noise and it's not just loud "brown noise" whirring like a normal HDD.

Here is a video of what they sounds like, not something most people would want on their desk.

We're simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it's become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

BASHIR: Out of all the episodes of star trek, which ones were canon and which ones weren't?

GARAK: My dear Doctor, they're all canon.

BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical ones?

GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical ones.

 

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"

Someone should probably jump in and explain what federation means.

 

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

 

Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
