5·4 hours agoI’m fairly OK with NuTrek trusting the audience less and driving a point home harder
I’m generally against this, but it’s also not like Star Trek ever gave us a reasonable expectation of subtlety…

🙌Hail all knowing Claude🙌
This is interesting but I wonder how he verified the data it was spitting out if he doesn’t know how to code?

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

9·17 days agoAh yeah that’s a good point. I think “gamers” used to be a more distinct group with a more distinct identity, nowadays it’s like saying “moviegoer”.

18·17 days agoThis is also the first I’ve ever heard the term in any context so I’m hesitant to believe the author when they say “it looks like it’s sticking”…

891·17 days agoAfter Silksong, Lethal Company and Content Warning were my two most played games in 2025.
I agree that calling these low-poly multiplayer games “slop” is terrible, because there is clearly a ton of love and effort poured into them. I hope the name doesn’t catch on.

Linux@lemmy.ml•planning to switch from windows 11 to Ubuntu on my laptopEnglish
7·23 days agoNothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.
My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.
Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can we stop bots on the fediverse?English
2·1 month agoThis is it exactly.
“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”
We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Is it confirmed that The Doctor we'll be seeing in Academy is NOT the one from "Living Witness"?English
5·1 month agoOn one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.




Exactly, they got Paul Giamatti for Spock’s sake. When an actor is at their level they can be choosy about the roles they take on.
