Hey, thanks for this thoughtful review. I’ve been planning to eventually watch it, but honestly was not particularly optimistic about it (for the reasons you mention).

I’m much more curious about it, now!

I saw a meme recently about boat chemtrails (the wake) leaving carbine monoxide in the water which I thought was hilarious, since they do.

Weird. I found out about this today from Strands.

It’s okay to be wrong! He corrected himself and thanked you — that good sir is what a Trekkie should do. The first duty is to the truth.

Sounds like an old Palm Pilot game I used to play.

Space War

Russia?

Hot take, everyone seemed to love it. I can’t wait for S2.

The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.

Just solved an issue with transcoding where I had to delete the codec. It redownloads on server launch so was an easy fix.

Sports journalists in particular — so annoying that all breaking NFL news goes through Xitter.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

How do you get better at playing the guitar without actually playing the guitar?

(edit): Point taken, but “playing the guitar” still wins by a mile

What’s rough about it? I’ve never been a twitter guy so can’t really compare, but I have a Mastodon account that I pop into periodically, and it works fine.

He probably not in Illinois, so that cuts a lot out.

While I agree with others pointing out the oddity of a portable server in general: this sounds like a great use-case for a laptop.

Built-in battery, wifi you can broadcast out as a hotspot, and it even has a display/keyboard/mouse for troubleshooting!

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mine’s an i7.

I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.

macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.

Hardcore atheist here. All religions are equally fictional, and I’m not an Islamophobe.
