fuck you unvulcans your spock

Damn, already got product placement on Lemmy

He didn't, but the vibes were there 😅

I like the premise of the episode, but it's just... such Marvel writing, especially the whole car stuff with Kirk. I pretty much expected him or La'an to go "he's right behind me, isn't he?" at some point in the episode

I'm... not gonna lie, I get the Federation's argument. Genetic engineering is a dangerous thing to start doing to sapient species, and it can lead to a resurgence of eugenics and other stuff like that.

The only real issue with their stance is that they discriminate against people who've been genetically augmented, instead of simply trying to prevent stuff from happening in the first place.

Yes

I don't really care about Gargron and the other growth-focused admins, I literally use an instance that hides stuff from mastodon.social lol

That's why every instance worth its salt will defederate from day one

I expect to see zero posts from Facebook on my feed

They can already gather what's posted publicly 🤷‍♀️

others will either have to follow, or risk dropping out

Honestly, they should. Drop out of the spec if Facebook gains control over it, I mean. Fuck em, I don't care if I can't federate with Instagram, in fact I prefer it that way.

The problem with the idea that each community should be its own instance basically comes down to cost, both financial and time. If I want to make a community about something I'm passionate about I'd have to shell out money I don't have on hosting, buy a domain, learn how to actually host and administrate a Lemmy instance, and then spend like half of my time and energy maintaining it.

Not everyone is a programmer with programmer knowledge making programmer money.
