Maybe it’s an issue of perspective. I see them as replacements for Twitter and Facebook and for me specifically I was posting the same things on both, its just that I had some people exclusively on one or the other, so when deciding to cut things, it made sense for me to only setup one given not many people I was communicating with were using either Mastodon or Friendica. I guess the core issue is either I’ve never really been using social media properly, or I just don’t know what the core usecase/structure for Friendica/Facebook actually is.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Genuine question, are there a good number of people using Friendica? I looked at it back in like 2017 or whenever Hak5 did a video about setting up Friendica servers, but it always seemed like Mastodon was the way to go, I k ow they aren’t technically filling the same space, but still.
- Comment on Removing Paramount+ on Three UK Risks Inviting 100Mbps Data Speed Cap 1 week ago:
To elaborate more on this for those not reading the article. New customers already have the data cap and need a £4 add-on to remove. Removing Paramount+ from your plan is essentially akin to changing your contract, so you get the new terms.
To be clear, I don’t like it, but what initially seemed like some sort of shady deal between Paramount Skydance and Three UK, is actually just telecoms being telecoms. Paramount Skydance can still suck it though.

Don’t worry, they’ll output enough heat that even when power goes down, it’ll warm Texas for months
- Comment on How to calculate stardate? How is measured? 2 months ago:
I guess I’d probably use the xxx as the day of the year 001-365 but I’m almost certain I’ve heard a stardate like 40538 so that ultimately wouldn’t work very well. Given that it’s a sector of a galaxy and not specifically based around earths orbit of the sun, it would make sense that you would have more than 365 days in a star year.

Probably? I’ll be honest, there’s only a few songs by Disciple that I’ve really listened to, but I liked them. Kind of the same with DH, I really like Black Stained Glass

I’m just going to tack a few more on here so I can find some of yours later, but I’d like to add:
Nine Lashes, which are probably more overt than some
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, for the entirety of Don’t You Fake It, and a few other songs
Red
Demon Hunter
Switchfoot, don’t @ me Dare You To Move is a banger

- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 4 months ago:
Ah, that’s fair, I was a child when I first watched the series so I don’t think I ever really registered the visor as a disability given that being blind doesn’t hinder him at all, besides the aforementioned headaches that rarely come up.

Where do you consider TNG being preachy about disability? Not arguing, it’s just been a while since I’ve watched it beginning to end and this might be something I failed to pick up on.

Also a few less features given I’m guessing it can’t store its own music and needs to be paired with the phone.

- Comment on Marc Rober shows why Tesla's camera-only self-driving system is dangerous 1 year ago:
Philip DeFranco had him on Yesterday and he said the reason he didn’t use FSD was that it required you to input an address, but that there isn’t any difference in terms of the sensors being used.
Given that the other car didn’t appear to have a version of FSD either, I’m unclear as to why Autopilot wasn’t the correct move for the most accurate comparison.
- Comment on Murica 1 year ago:
I like the restructure around walking, however I’d add in that instead of a good lot of rental cars, better public transport, light rails/subways within metro areas and buses/proper trains for longer distances would be nice. Of course you’ll need rental vehicles for some things, but more often than not, I imagine that would cover most bases. And the light rails would provide protection from the elements.

This is usually because they’re using a common VPN service. I’ve found that connecting to Ireland gets me past this prompt more often than not, but that likely won’t last long.

- Comment on The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad. 1 year ago:
HBO does this too, I’ve been told they get away with it because it’s a trailer not an ad, as though there’s a difference, but mate, I’m already watching Star Trek, you don’t need to suggest I watch Star Trek.
- Comment on The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad. 1 year ago:
Hulu has always had a clause like that. Their ad-free tier has always had a handful of shows that have an ad at the beginning and end, which is why I don’t pay for the ad-free tier and just use NextDNS.
