Um…pretty sure Deanna Troi was the one giving therapy to Jean-Luc. And she saw some shit during that voyage. Seriously, she needs her own counselor.

I think it’s implied that DS9 had multiple counselors but they just aren’t bridge-level personel. Ezri later becomes the most prominent counsellor but we also see O’Brien going to therapy with Telnorri, so it’s implied the station does have dedicated mental health staff.

I would say that technically should give DS9 the upper hand, but Miles’ experiences with Telnorri aren’t exactly great and it does seem like DS9 is always given the bare minimum by Starfleet.

This is why I feel Becky Chambers should be the future of Sci-Fi.

No time for distrowars

…says the guy that makes a meme shitting on users of every other distro.

I guarantee you’ve had “problems” but you’re so used to Windows now that you have the muscle memory to deal with it without thinking much about it.

Using all three in my household kinda highlighted for me how much I was just ignoring or working around the ugliness of Windows every single day.

Okay, this quote from the Wikipedia page made me laugh.

TempleOS received mostly “sympathetic” reviews. Tech journalist David Cassel opined that “programming websites tried to find the necessary patience and understanding to accommodate Davis”.

Enough with the fan wars. Let’s be perfectly honest for once. Windows, Linux, MacOS - they all suck. Sometimes in similar ways, sometimes in different ways. But they all suck.

Windows users - I get you, you use it because it sorta works 40%, of the time and sucks in the way you understand.

Linux users - I get you, you know all of the arcane incantations you need to quickly install, update, and troubleshoot your os in a terminal window. It works - once you apply your custom bash script that applies every change you need to get everything exactly how you like it. But again, it sucks in the way you understand.

MacOS users - well I don’t really get you. You know what you’ve done.

We deserve better than this, guys. We deserve an os that just works, is easy to use, easy to configure, doesn’t require an IT degree to use, and that we can recommend to our grandma without a second thought.

Gary Key made yet another mistake in this video lol. He claimed that Linus is the one who said they retest every video - and not his own damn team member.

Also Firefox mobile already supports (a tiny limited subset of) extensions. And the version before their big UI overhaul supported extensions from the add-on store - although it would be unusable if you loaded up too many.

The big change is that the new shinier faster version of Firefox will now support their new desktop extension platform - and probably run them much more efficiently.

Pretty sure the person who wrote this headline only ever used Chrome mobile.

Except, if you refuse to breathe, you won’t die, you’ll just pass out and start breathing again…which kinda kills the tension implied by the meme.

Wow, that’s awesome. You’re so cool bro.

They have a free tier and a $10/mo tier and prominently advertise their AI without any information about privacy. Guaranteed you and your text are the product being used to train their AI.

All entertainment fills a need in your daily life. It only makes sense that the need changes as you grow older.

When I was younger, I was poor and had something to prove. Thus, I loved big games with hundreds of hours of gameplay, grinding for the best bobbles, and competitive multiplayer experiences.

But as I get older, I don’t care about any of that anymore. What I need instead is a way to relax within my short gaming windows, to have unique experiences, and maybe have a sense of control as my life gets more chaotic. As a result, I’ve tended more towards shorter indie titles. But also towards non-gaming things like travel, gardening, and crafting hobbies.

We spent so much of our lives building our identity around a single hobby - gaming. And maybe that was a mistake. So many of us end up sliding away from gaming as we get older and that change is okay and even expected, that shouldn’t give us an existential crisis.

Your identity should reflect the person you are, not the thing you do.

The only validation you should expect and need is self-validation.

Your work is absolutely valid and important. Your efforts are absolutely appreciated and worthwhile. But people are stuck in their own heads and work and stress and concerns and desires and validation loops and it takes actual work to break out of that to not only offer appreciation but to even realize that they need to offer it.

And for that reason, you should also really appreciate anyone that validates you.

Also anti-vaxxer, Trump supporter, radical anti-medicalist, HIV/AIDS denialist, and notibly supported by Steve Bannon and conservative super-PACs as a “chaos candidate” against the dems. I listened to him back when he was on Air America decades ago. He has always been a wacked out nutjob.

You’re better than this. Hatred of the straw man doesn’t suit you. And it sure won’t solve any of the issues in this country. All it does is grab your attention and distract you.

K.

Can’t believe you guys got baited by this boring low effort rage bait garbage. Come on Lemmy, you’re better than this.

Let me make this clear.

I don’t give a FLYING FUCK about Elon. I actively ignore any posts about him or his shitty empire. Stop using the behaviors of his idiot stans to argue with me. I am not them.

What I do care about is a community telling people what they can or cannot post, not through rules changes, not through mod action, but by agreeing internally to bully every person who dares to post what every tech publication is talking about.

I think you need to evaluate why you let this shit trigger you. I mean, this is like going to a coffee shop and raising a stink because they sell pumpkin spice lattes. Don’t consume it. Use Lemmy’s tools to filter it out if you really need to.

Its not the community’s job to cater to your specific content desires. This isn’t a news site. Its a place for people to talk about whatever they think technology is. It’s your job to moderate what you pay attention to.

…but that’s what happens when you call a community “technology”. Its a pretty damn broad category and these days, incredibly mainstream.

Communities like " technology" are going to be as mainstream as they were on Reddit. There is nothing you can do about it unless you convince the mods to spend 14 hours a day curating and removing posts from people with mainstream definitions.

If you want a more curated definition, or you have more niche interests, then you probably want to go to a different community. Heck, maybe start your own. Be the change you want to see.

It seems a bit silly to go to a community called “technology” and then complain that it represents what 90% of technology news sources are talking about.

What defines “real piece of shit?”

What defines “nuts”

There are plenty of people who would call Lemmy a “real piece of shit” and all of us “nuts”.
