Do you want zombie orphans? Cos that's how you get zombie orphans. Listen to the AI, it's trying to save the world from becoming a dystopian TV series!
have you given the Long Earth series a go that he did with Stephen Baxter?
As this is a telly thread I got all excited and wondered if someone had created a TV series of the Long Earth books ... but you just mean the books don't you?
I'm not the person you wrote that reply to, but I definitely enjoyed them, but then I'm almost as big a fan of Stephen Baxter as I am of Terry Pratchett.
The developer of kbin, @ernest, has said that automated processing of account deletion requests is on the roadmap but currently it's a manual process.
As you can imagine, for a piece of software that two months ago was in alpha status with fewer than 100 regular users and then suddenly became one of the most-used systems on the Fediverse, there are still a lot of rough edges to be cleaned up.
We're not actually that small, we have about 90k subscribers. But we're still small fry compared to many that are closed.
In the spirit of malicious compliance, if anyone has any suggestions for what /r/Commandline could become, I'd be delighted to hear them!
Oof, €150 per month and that's before any other costs are taken into account and I bet the main influx of Redditors hasn't even happened yet. I know you've got the buymeacoffee thing but do you have plans for how to fund kbin in the months & years ahead?
CPU requirements for Lemmy hosting are minimal. Memory is useful - you'd want to use the Pi 4 with either the 4GB or 8GB RAM, anything less than that will work but you'll be running the risk of difficulties if the server gets busy.
You'll also need plenty of storage, especially if people are going to start uploading media to your Lemmy host. Given that a Pi runs off an SD card you might well find yourself running out of storage space - I'd recommend attaching a USB storage device for the reassurance in that respect.

With flying cars we'd have the opportunity to take the human factor out of the equation, which is the cause of the vast majority of car crashes.
Imagine we had never invented cars and trucks and highways and were just doing it now. Do you think we'd take these two ton death machines and say "let's put them under control of an individual person, with all the distractions and fallibility and other problems we know we suffer from"? Or would be instead design a system where every single vehicle has a computer that is constantly in communication with all the other vehicles around it, and can react far quicker to any issue than a person could.
The problem with self-driving cars is that they have to operate in a world where there are also human-driven cars, and cyclists, and pedestrians, etc. If the only things on the road were computer-controlled, it's a completely different scenario. And that's what we'd have with flying cars. At least I hope so!
