Madison_rogue , to Star Trek in What are your favourite TNG episodes?
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

The Inner Light is by far my favorite episode. Jean-Luc is visibly changed after his experience.

TIL it is Patrick Stewart's favorite episode of the series.

Mine as well, yet she'd then recite the first few verses of The Canterbury Tales in Old-English; pretty much proving that you can't police the way people use language.

Calling it "Threadiverse" is walking right into Meta's playbook. Zuckerberg would want you to call it exactly that.

Madison_rogue , to Fediverse in Kbin.cafe on Blocking Meta's New Threads App
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

Not necessarily, however there are questions on compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act which went into effect in May,. So the platform has been delayed until Meta determines or gets guidance from the EU to comply with the law.

The whole reason Threads was launched had everything to do with how Musk has been mismanaging Twitter over the past few months, and most especially the past week. This is why the platform is partly unfinished. Zucks took the opportunity to move up launch to capitalize on Twitter's mistakes.

And it looks like it worked.

I remember how excited I was to download the trailer for The Phantom Menace in 1999. Took almost an hour on a 56k modem. Or how it took under 10 minutes to download a 8 megabyte song off Napster on DSL.

I did interact with a BBS site or two, but then got caught up in the AOL wave. I used their platform, Geocities, and a few other chat sites. Once ditching AOL around 1999 I ended up on a local forum we used for electronic music, and then in 2003 made my way to a Star Wars fansite forum called BlueHarvest (I moderated there the last couple of years before the admin shut it down in 2008 or 2009). A couple friends and I then communicated via a forum we made for ourselves. Then Facebook, then Reddit...now here.

EDIT

I also had accounts with MySpace and Friendster too...Twitter for a few years around Arab Spring, but I didn't like it. Even back then The Bird was a toxic mess with rare moments of humanity. I think my avatar is still shaded green...if my account still exists.

I've seen a few Wikipedia references do exactly the same thing.

Have you tried using Wayback Machine to see if there's an archive of the sites you have bookmarked?

Since 1994 here.

It might be something to bring up on kbinMeta. I haven't seen anything yet regarding bot tools for either instance.

The saddest part of all this is the countless hours of work unpaid people have poured into the site, moderating, developing, and content creating only to see it end the manner it has.

I'm okay leaving it behind. I didn't contribute much over the 12 years I was there. I mostly lurked. I'm just sorry for all the people that worked hard to make the community better.

The link is fixed in the post body. I don't get this at all. I only copied the BotDefense link which is available through clicking the title, yet it pasted the next post from Reddit in the post body? Weird, but the link is fixed.

Thanks for mentioning it!

Madison_rogue , to Star Trek in Who are your favorite Trek reviewers/Youtubers?
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

Steve Shives is someone I've been watching. He's a little crass yet his observations are pretty decent. Otherwise, same as you...Jessie Gender, and Sean from TrekCulture

Grab some popcorn, the bots are coming.

You could copy and save it as a text file, and annotate links if necessary. That way you'll always have it.

I saw a video on Nebula a couple days ago about D&D that discusses everything you just mentioned about the litigation and subsequent fallout over the years with the game. This guy responded that the video is now out on YouTube. I think you'll see that a lot of what's been going on with the game is very repetitive.
