The scene you’re describing is a good example. Though I would argue that given this story line is set a millennium in the future, it isn’t just lazily progressive, it’s an ultra-conservative view of the future. It perpetuates today’s bigotries as universal truths instead of challenging the audience to perceive of a future without our current bigotries like the Kirk / Uhura kiss did 50 years ago.
The original series was based in a post-race society. When Kirk and Uhura kiss, it wasn’t an interracial kiss in the show because the concept of race doesn’t exist in the 24th century universe. It got backlash when it aired because some people couldn’t contemplate a the future without their current bigotry existing. Star Trek explored current social issues by visiting some planet with a veiled version of that issue.
Contrast that to Discovery where Burnham is having a conversation with an Admiral and the Admiral brings up Burnham’s family’s history of slavery.
I agree. Discovery is the least progressive Star Trek series and is already aging poorly. The other series use the Star Trek universe to cleverly explore present day issues whereas Discovery lazily frames today’s social issues as if they’re universal truths. It was a real back step for the franchise.
That’s fair. I appreciate that every instance host has the right to moderate their community any way they want however moderation rules should be clear and consistent. Banning people for posting respectful criticism of communism is inconsistent with the rules of lemmy.ml
I’m not defending these people. I’m saying illinformed hot-takes are common on the Internet. However they are an useful opportunity to understand an opposing perspective even if they’re based in factual inaccuracies.
In my experience, most people are great. If a stranger has a wildly opposing opinion to myself, it’s rarely because of differing values and more likely because of differing experiences.
Everyone that has been on the Internet for more than a few days has an illinformed hot-take floating around. You can learn something for a perspective even if it’s not based in fact. Read with compassion and you don’t have to believe everything you read.
The line between webapp and app is very thin these days anyway.
While the user experience may be similar (and in many cases is identical) access to device information is different. For instance, a webapp can not determine the devices volume whereas an Android app can. Device APIs can provide much more confidence that an activity has occurred. I doubt this was an arbitrary decision or gate-keeping by the developers.
Pointless gatekeeping by the devs
More likely it’s to ensure that you’ve actually listened to the podcast you’re rating
edit: Can someone explain the downvotes, what am I missing here?
I find I have much less Internet fights in the fediverse than I used to on commercial “social” media. Reddit and Facebook would bring out the worst of my pettiness 😅 I have had many lovely conversations on here.
That data is available is the ActivityPub but as far as I know, you don’t have access to the vote data as a Lemmy user. You would have access to this data if you were running your own Lemmy server.
But honestly, let it go. Someone stole fake Internet points from you. It costs you nothing but it cost them 5 minutes of their lives. You’re having a fight with some stranger that doesn’t value their own time. Value your time and stop feeding these kinds of energy vampires. You deserve better! Have a wonderful day my friend :)
Did someone get in a petty Internet fight?
That’s unlikely in a closed heat exchange system. Maybe some additional evaporation because the water is slightly warmer. But unless I’m missing something, it seems very misleading to suggest that a Bitcoin transaction uses 16 kilolitres because of evaporation. Napkin math, it would require about 10 megawatt/hours of energy to evaporate that much water (please correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not a Bitcoin fanboy, I just don’t like BS.
These data centers consume water for cooling systems
How does a data center consume water? Doesn’t every liter that enters as freshwater leave as slightly warmer freshwater? What am I missing here?

This thread is a rollercoaster 🎢
I haven’t had any issues running Tailscale and cloudflared on the same machines
Me speaking to my mum: Get off Facebook! They’re just trying to sell you shit you don’t need!
Also me: oh, I should replace my robot vac with this fancier one!
Depends what you’re using it for
That’s exactly what a virus that was trying to trick me would say…
