That's a great explainer, thank you! Any guidance on pointing me in the right direction to find Kindle jail breaking walk throughs? I may just end up keeping mine.

"Just keep on Lemmy. It feels like Reddit did 14 years ago."

For better or worse this really nails it. I also think it's a good reminder that when Reddit conquered Digg it happened over a six month period because there was like 100k users maybe total. There are so many more people involved with Reddit these days it's going to take literal years before Lemmy is anywhere near the same level in terms of MAU.

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

Nice, I was very close to buying a new pair of headphones so happy that a $25 purchase and an hour of work brought them back.

Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.

People get so weird about Dansup.

If Mastodon/Fedi was at the scale those platforms are we would see more harassment, absolutely. It remains to be proven but I think federation enables a lot more eyes on content which implies harassing material can be removed more quickly.

Federation/decentralization solves a lot of problems over centralized social media, but ultimatley you can't engineer human nature.

LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. "Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can't recommend it."
