Well, that's a good point but I still think there are better services than Twitter/microblogging for that. Like our old friend RSS

Sure, but you can get that with something more long-form, too; it's not exclusive to Twitter/microblogging .

Keeping in mind that I'm just giving personal opinions, I found Discovery to be too... over acted? Maybe that was just how it was written but the end result, for me, was that I was constantly rolling my eyes while watching.

Picard seemed okay but in the end I didn't like the obvious appeals to nostalgia, for me it felt like it leaned too heavily on it instead of trying to stand on its own as a good show.

I have no idea if my experiences align with the broader community or not, but I found myself forcing myself to watch each respective show so I didn't bother watching when a new season came out.

Please don't take my comment as anything but me sharing my experiences with someone else who is a fan of the franchise.

SNW I'm totally on board for, though. And I was hesitant about Lower Decks at first but it's really a good show, imo. It's so good that it has me questioning my decision to ignore The Orville for being too silly.

I would argue that the format incentivizes short quips and discussions lacking nuance in favor of brevity, and yes, therefore it's "bad" (to use their term) to use Twitter even if musk wasn't turning it into Truth Social.

Well, arguably the microblogging format does have some intrinsic disadvantages.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty confident that you can't use something with a lower standard of proof as evidence in a trial that requires a higher standard of proof. Civil cases only need to be proven by the standard "a preponderance of evidence", whereas criminal trials are required to proven "beyond a reasonable doubt".

It's probably okay in the other direction, though.

Well feel free to drop a DM to me directly when you get it up and running and I'll give it a look, for sure.

I would probably watch a youtube channel that focused more on how to improvise in cooking than how to follow a recipe, along with pointing out various useful techniques and pitfalls to avoid.

Hell, this might actually already exist. I confess I've never really looked.

I subscribed to releases! Good work so far!

I'm sort of in the same thought process, especially since they were asked and they gave a "we'll discuss that later" style response. I have an Xbox for my kids and I pay for whichever version of gamepass that lets you stream games, so push comes to shove I can do that.

I'm pretty sure Tasker can make non-dismissible notifications.

Though, if a notification will actually stop you from drunk dialing, you could always change your wallpaper to something like "Don't drunk dial".

But isn't the S a lower powered device? Or am I mistaken?

 

When viewing a specific comment, there is a link to "show context" that would show the comment one level up. Now, this link does not appear to do anything.

I assume this was introduced by the latest update.

I'm using the default UI (https://lemmy.world). I tried on both desktop and mobile versions of the website.

 

The Supreme Court has blocked President Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for more than 40 million Americans. The court's conservative justices expressed skepticism about Biden's authority to forgive student loan debt without direct authorization from Congress.

 

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a web designer can refuse to create websites for same-sex weddings on religious grounds. The case involved a Colorado web designer named Lorie Smith, who refused to create a website for a same-sex couple's wedding. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, alleging that Smith's refusal violated their civil rights.
