Not sure how I feel about the music direction but the footage is fabulous.

Yeah Christ, the complaint here is overstimulation and the capitalization/commercialization of peoples’ attention spans, a topic which spans far greater breadth than just “colors”. What a weird specific aspect to zero in on. I don’t disagree that colors attribute to the issue but man, OP needs to take a step back and huff into a paper bag.
This is some hyperbolic shit right here.
Coffee’s been around for hundreds of years. You think there’s really going to be an about face on it after all this time?
I don’t think anyone has a problem with bottle episodes. It’s the bottle episodes specifically starring Vic Fontaine which stretches the premise thin to incredulity that I think people–or at least I–have an issue with. Do another Ferengi or Klingon thing if need be. But attaching such sentiment to a character that the show really really wants you to like doesn’t work for me. Again, he’s a love him or hate him character. At least Ezri’s episodes, while shoehorned, made sense for why they needed to be there if they had to have her as a replacement at all. Vic was just an insert the writers specficially wanted for no good reason.
Most people here are ignoring the main reason: the writers were just a bunch of baseball loving rat pack fans who took their love of those things maybe a little too far. In the case of baseball, we only had Take Me Out to Holosuite to deal with (which is a great episode–provided you like baseball, I suppose). In the case of the rat pack, we inexplicably got Vic Fontaine who you either love or hate. I wouldn’t hate Vic Fontaine so much myself if they didn’t force him to basically take up the space that Quark’s Bar was supposed to be, and for him to be an integral part of the show so late in the series. And yes, the musical numbers take up too much time, if you ask me.
Probably none, if you’re fine with KeePass. Personally I don’t want to use anything that’s hosted on someone else’s server. It’s a bit more inconvenient to use the local files of KeePass only, but I’d rather feel a bit safer with that, even if by all account BitWarden/Proton Pass would be fine.
It’s made on the same engine as Skyrim and Fallout 4 so for all intents and purposes this is going to be like any other Bethesda game. So, if people want Fallout 4 in space with procedural worlds and companions then I guess it’ll be what they’re looking for. But my belief is it’s going to feel like a last gen game with a sheen of current gen on top.
Unfortunately when an instance/community is federated it does not bring any archived posts or comments over. If new posts/comments come in then it’ll get those, but otherwise yeah it’s a bit of an issue since there’s plenty of old posts people will want to be able to peruse when a community is discovered by an instance.
384 blocked for beehaw, Jesus Christ. Trying to like build its own world over there?
What a weird trailer. The British humor of Fable is just a fun extra on top of the core gameplay, not the defining feature… Not really sure what this trailer is conveying exactly, showing off a single character and some kind of Richard Ayoade theme park experience, but I guess we’ll see.
What provider are you using to host? I’ve got a hostgator shared plan for a personal site but wasn’t sure if I’d specifically need a VPS to do it.
It’s a web hosting service. The plan I have is the baby plan shared hosting on this link.
But from looking more myself, not sure if this would work. I think I’d need a VPS to actually install and build Lemmy on.
Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it’d eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.
Next I’d like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that’s gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.
Anyone know if setting up an instance via a shared Hostgator server is possible? I already pay for a plan for my personal site so wondered if I could add on a new domain plus a partition to it and take advantage to make my own instance for posting and browsing myself.
FYI kbin.social has a nicer UI than Lemmy, if you ask me. Still federates with any Lemmy instance and even connects with Mastodon too if you’re into that. Otherwise yeah, only way to mess with the UI here is with browser hacks unfortunately. I agree it’s way too squished.
Yeah it’s still definitely an issue considering there will be plenty of old topics that people will want to search and refer back to, and any new instance or people making their own will be SOL if they come in years later after communities have been posting for a while.
Pretty sure it doesn’t “take a while” for things to sync up. Once an instance is discovered by another, any posts from that point forward will appear, but anything made before then will not. I have personally seen new instances sync with kbin.social that have less comments than if you look at the main instance’s thread. They have added more comments, but only new ones made after it was discovered.
Whether I’m right or not, I’m not sure. Would have to hear from the devs to know for sure, but from all I’ve seen there is no syncing of archived or historical postings, just discovery of and acceptance of new data from other instances.
Diaspora* is one that’s been around for yeeeeears. A federated Facebook basically. I always wished it’d take off since I do like the idea of having a personal page for very close friends and my network but it is much harder to take off because, while reddit and other sites have tech-minded folks willing to learn and migrate, very few people have an entire extended friend group looking to figure out what a decentralized federated Facebook would entail.
I was lucky enough to see him start at Citi Field for his last win. Was starting to worry I may have seen his last professional win and I’m glad I was wrong. Hopefully he can make 200 but if not 199 is pretty fun too.
