Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm planning to build a Linux gaming PC. Any suggestions?
6·9 days agoI tried out Bazzite with an Nvidia 40-series card last year and performance was the same as Windows for everything I tested
All things being equal I would go with AMD too, but if I was OP I certainly wouldn’t turn down a good deal on an Nvidia card if one presented itself.

4·10 days agoYes! We have that too. It’s so addicting to get sucked into every time I come across it.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•Tools for PieFed instance admins, in 5 minutesEnglish
9·10 days ago“Auto-defederate from any instance defederated by” is a great feature for new admins getting a new instance set up! It’s like forking the experience of an existing instance.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Favorite Trek episode that's not in the usual top 57 lists?English
1·1 month agoTo be fair, the list was made for the 57th anniversary of Trek three years ago.

4·1 month agoData’s Day is the episode I usually recommend people use to introduce TNG to newbies since Data literally goes around and introduces the crew. I’m shocked it wasn’t on Variety’s list!

3·1 month agoGreat example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that’s a sign it’s time for a Voyager rewatch.

Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•Column 1 straight down for me.English
5·2 months agoMy favorite mod @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website moved here but also fuck spez.
EDIT:


Absolutely Amazing work here. Tesseract should strongly be considered as a default UX.

Feddit UK@feddit.uk•Does Feddit.uk have a position on Lemmy.World defederating instances over a single user?
1·4 months agoWhy do you say that? They hold no power over us, nor us over them. They can’t control what we choose to store on our own hard drives.

Fediverse@piefed.social•Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: Fediverse's Lemmygrad.ml endorses authoritarian regimes, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, exhibits anti-Zionist and antisemitic rhetoric, study reveals
27·1 year ago“The decentralized web” …so… “the web”? Do they not realize literally anyone, even extremists, can make a Lemmy instance with spare parts and a wifi connection?
Left-wing extremists have been showing “substantial activity on Lemmygrad"
“Left wing extremists have been showing substantial activity on the website that was literally built for that type of content” What’s next? They “investigate” the amount of Trekkie related activity on StarTrek.website?
I think a far more interesting research subject is looking into the number of ostensibly non-extremist instances are hosting extremist content by virtue of federation.

Doctor Who Social Club@startrek.website•The "Disneyfication" of Doctor Who: Is it real?English
5·1 year agoDisney is such a massive conglomerate at this point, I don’t even know what that vibe would be
Safe and unchallenging. Entertaining without much depth that you forget about shortly after.
To be clear I agree with you and don’t think this is happening with Who, just that it is a thing to look out for.

Reddit@lemmy.world•Steve Huffman's straw man: "[Reddit's most devoted volunteers] used to tell us not to grow."
4·1 year agoFunny how the platform still runs on their unpaid labor, isn’t it?
Something I learned during the Vaxxhappened protest is just how many moderators are perfectly content to do these “jobs”. I found it honestly very sad how many of these what are ostensibly “community leaders” will happily acquiescence to the
demandsdesires of the company as long as they can continue to do the job.Don’t get me wrong I have a lot of sympathy for many of the moderators there who care deeply about their communities and providing a welcoming experience and feel stuck to Reddit, but until more of them grow a spine and idk, move to Lemmy or something like the top r/startrek and r/daystrominstaitute mods did (not me to be clear) then nothing of substance will change there. There is a seeming endless supply of people willing to clean up Reddit for free.

Fedigrow@lemmy.zip•Weekly thread - how is everyone doing with their communities?English
91·1 year agoYou’re not going to find a sympathetic ear from the mods of this community (believe me I’ve tried, oh have I tried) but I understand where you’re coming from and agree. The Lemmy network in general is comprised of a lot of people who are here (I’m sorry to say) because they are too poorly socialized even for reddit, and there are too few mods/admins in the overall network are who know what it means to be the adult in the room. The result is that most places with authentic activity are too toxic for “normies” and the places willing to enforce something as simple as good manners are quieter.
I still believe a critical mass of more ah, well-adjusted people can improve the culture, but that day gets further and further away as long as the existing culture remains in the state it is in.
Maybe we didn’t achieve our goals in the way we set out to do, but we made a lot of friends (decals) along the way.
For future reference:












The events of Star Trek haven’t taken place yet, but The Historical Documents aired long before that. Presumably some kind of time vortex brought them to us.
