  • i have nothing but anecdotal evidence to go off of but just today i saw a lemmy post used as a source in a news article, which i can't say i've ever seen of any other "link aggregator" aside from reddit. so it's certainly up there!

    and like others said, the activitypub interoperability certainly helps. i'm an mbin user but i'd wager more than half of my subscribed "magazines" are actually lemmy communities

  • this guy topologys

  • misinformation and acting in bad faith, both of which have a funny habit of occuring at the same time

  • but at least your drunk uncle won't boil the oceans in the process too

  • you and me both. i can make the third dot appear, but the second i look away from it the effect is gone. and now my eyes hurt!

  • damn it seven, why did you have to eat nine?

    kirby. kirby is my favorite antihero

  • my first instinct is to recommend DEVO

  • that's the beauty of federation. when one planet goes down the rest stay up!

  • newly-confirmed fifth season will run for six episodes

    remember when seasons were a season long

  • transporter room, this is ensign crusher, requesting biological waste fluid transport from my station to matter recyclers, and a new pair of pants from my quarters to my legs

  • COBOL is still being updated because, believe it or not, people are still writing COBOL

  • Unlike other older languages, such as Cobol and Fortran -- which are still used, but almost always in legacy projects -- Java has constantly evolved to meet new demands while maintaining backward compatibility.

    can't speak on the FORTRAN claim but with COBOL this couldn't be less true. last i checked the newest Enterprise COBOL LTS is newer than Java's

  • seconding Stargate Atlantis. all they needed was one more season, and the outline floating aroind the internet from one of the writers of what that would look like kicked ass

    also have to say Super Android Metalder, which is a weird case- the show was cancelled and a rush ending was written, and then the show that was gonna take it's place had delays so they ended up stretching out that rushed ending. that lead to a very wonky set of final episodes for a show that deserved much better

  • been trying to come up with a "more like the _ directive" joke but the best i have is the slime directive sorry gang

  • 0.009144 football fields

  • honestly, people are right when they say the similarities between trek and wars are superficial because trek is heady scifi and wars is space opera, but both do ultimately deal with the struggles and pitfalls in creating a better galaxy world and shit like Deep Space 9 and the Zahn SW books (hell, and SG-1 and Babylon 5) show that special things happen they try to meet in the middle
