Finally caught all the way up with Prodigy, back to 100% of Trek watched. It was surprising to me how much having unwatched Trek irked me, and how satisfying it made finishing the season!
UK Netflix has it now
I don’t know who Pete Holmes is, but when I looked him up his Wikipedia picture looks like someone made a human to be the middle ground between Ben and Adam.
I think the issue most are concerned with sits under the layer Admins are at. It’s not necessarily about the community administration, it’s about the software that makes up Lemmy. Threads will almost instantly make up 99% of users, so what incentive have they to play nice. The XMPP debacle wasn’t about integrating poorly, it was about specifically building a community in which was dependent on Gtalk users then mutating the protocol, eventually breaking with it. XMPP of course survived, but it died soon after, because when all the users no longer have access to their communities, why will they stay? Lemmy admins are worried that threads will become so integral to the fediverse that it’s removal will mean that users (who let’s be honest, don’t want to check more things than they need to) will go with threads.
See I’m sure that’s some of what I’m remembering, but at least when I played Klingon about 2007 it didn’t seem to be the same game.
(Btw, the Acti Zork games are acted DVD graphical adventures, unlike their text based precursors. Worth a go if you can. )
It’s a fair point, “meta bad” is poor discourse. The most prevalent concern I’ve seen is that allowing federation to Meta is setting the stage for another Gtalk-XMPP style conflict.
In effect, when a party has such a disproportionate user base, they can use that to dictate terms on the evolution of the protocols that underpin a platform.
Here’s a write up by someone who worked on XMPP and Gtalk who puts it much better than I could. Article
Thank you for the shout out. Fellow Friends of DeSoto, frequenters of the Hood, embarrassed double-dumbasses, please pop over.
I was a big fan of the Elite Force games, but the one I enjoyed most was a DVD game from the mid to late 90s that doesn’t seem to exist. It was similar to the activision Zork games of the era, but Gowron was making Gowron eyes at the screen a lot; I’m considering that I’ve merged two games I played together, and made a false memory, but honestly I don’t know what games those would’ve been either.
He’s a good man. A union man.
