Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

Also, the idea that somewhere there is a species that's just unquestionably, irredeemably evil. Trek has toyed with the notion before (Hi, Armus!), but this feels like a Pandora's box moment if they stick with it.

Also also, why did all the scifi of the finale feel like it was streamlined to make space for a Harry Potter wizard battle?

It's the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.

And it's not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It's the decision from above that SNW's sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.

We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing...?

It's just the inevitable exploitation of any word that van be randomly put next to "economy". It's a bullshit con is why.

"Meme coin" 💀

Ah yes, the toolchain changes appear to be a stumbling stone for the Fennec devs as well. That kind of thing doesn't exactly speed up new releases, I'm sure.

What are your experiences with Mull? Is it generally compatible with Firefox plugins, and are there performance improvements as well as in security?

Yeah, more or less right. On Mastodon I'm a heavy filter user, so loads of terms and hashtags just GTFO. I don't see anything near that capability baked into Lemmy.

And I have to say, the more I think about it, the more important link source filtering is. Given how many posts are links to external sites I think it would be a great feature to sift out the chaff before you even have the chance to roll your eyes at it!

I will suggest filtering, by term and by source URL. I think it would help customize individual feeds, making it easier and perhaps more comfortable navigating the news.

Example A: term filtering: This should be fairly obvious. Say I'm a Linux user who could care less about KDE. But people keep gushing over it in the Linux subs I subscribe to, and the damn developers keep pushing new releases that also get posted. Argh! Filter out posts (maybe even comments) that mention KDE, Bob's your uncle. And I can still enjoy all those delicious GNOME posts. Definitely not a real world inspired scenario.

Example B: URL filtering: Simply(!) filtering out link posts by source URL. Not a fan of Fox News and/or WaPo? Filter out one site or the other by root URL, like *.foxnews.com or *.washingtonpost.com. Me, I'd gladly filter out all and any YouTube links unseen by default. That's a constant noise generator I could genuinely live without. But I digress.

I hope the examples illustrate my point because I could clearly never explain a feature request succinctly nor to the point.

I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it's flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can't use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.

BECOME BITCOIN BECOME LIGHTNING

LOL, not in a million years. Dumping this like the cryptocurrency infected garbage it is.

For the past many years I've simply synced my notes across devices (originally from webDAV, currently Syncthing) and open them with my favourite Markdown editor for each platform. On my android phone it's Markor, and Marktext on desktop.

I've tried so many note taking apps but especially Joplin's weird renaming of my files cooled my enthusiasm for One App To Rule Them All. I do understand the attraction of it, I just prefer a simple setup where I'm not bound by any developer (team)’s whims.

The answer is one click away in their FAQ:

Why do you charge for attendance?

Several reasons:

• Organizing conferences costs time and money, like many other things in the Fediverse. We believe the sooner the Fediverse finds a way to pay for itself that doesn’t depend on the heroic efforts of a small number of individuals, the better. We want to build something that is sustainable, and to do that, it needs to know how to pay for itself.
• It aligns the objectives between organizers and attendees, and keeps us organizers focused on what you want out of the conference; as opposed to us pushing an agenda, or letting a sponsor undule influence the agenda.
• In our long experience organizing conferences we have learned that people who pay for an event are much more likely to actually attend. Free-of-charge conferences often have more no-show’s then actual attendees.
