Bookwyrm. You can even export your Goodreads data into it

WonkoTheSane,

Hope your day improves. Never a good time for a flat tire

Star Trek TNG Season 2 Episode 9 The Measure Of A Man

I haven’t enjoyed TNG really at all so I slowed down on my journey of watching all of Star Trek in order. However tonight I decided to watch a episode. That episode was The Measure Of A Man. This episode is truly a diamond in the rough in my opinion. This episode is exactly why I fell in love with Star Trek in the first place!...

WonkoTheSane,

Yea, I usually tell people to watch this episode then jump to season 3. If they love the show they’ll obviously go back to season 1 out of a curiosity

Threads vs microblogs?

Does anyone have any advice on whether to use or when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on ? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?

WonkoTheSane,

A thread is a Reddit equivalent and a microblog is a Twitter equivalent. So it really depends if you’re trying to start a discussion or just want to put something out there in my opinion

Came across Bookwyrm which is the feediverse alternative to Goodreads. I've been searching for a proper Goodreads replacement for so long, and this finally looks like the real deal.

WonkoTheSane,

Yea, I’ve been enjoying Bookwyrm. Crazy how the fediverse is capable of providing everything. We just need more people willing to donate interested

WonkoTheSane,

I’d recommend an RSS Reader. For example if you use Inoreader and subscribe to “tech” you’ll get a folder of a bunch of popular tech websites. Obviously you should get them yourselves too. But RSS is a great way to get a lot of news quickly and see consensus

WonkoTheSane,

Check out Bookwrym. I’m currently maintaining that and Goodreads, but can’t wait until I can drop Goodreads

WonkoTheSane,

I do like the Super Switch. But if the Switch is the standard going forward it’ll make the 3rd iteration a little difficult to name. So Switch 2 is fine

But we’re also assuming they’re going to make a Switch successor. Hopefully that is the case but I don’t quite trust Nintendo not to screw this up

WonkoTheSane,

It seems like there’s going to be a super premium tier for power users to cover that cost

WonkoTheSane,

I’m a Proton Mail customer. It’s them or Fast Mail in my opinion

Can anyone explain to me what a Microblog is and how is it different from a thread? Are they similar to what a Toot is on Mastodon?

WonkoTheSane,

That’s correct. Kbin offers both an ability to “toot” or an ability to create topical threads through its magazines

WonkoTheSane,

Why iCloud?

Ways to contribute monetarily?

I imagine that with the influx of new users, instances paid by volunteers will be stretched. Some I imagine are creating instances, to spread out the load, but some of us cannot / don't want to create and manage instances. For these efforts to be successful I imagine that monetary support would be helpful....

WonkoTheSane,

Look into the about page of whatever instance you signed up for. Most of them list the ways to offer support there through monthly Patreon’s or whatever

It’s also a good idea to throw a little money towards the project if you can. Some people are finding Lemmy a little controversial and throwing money at Kbin while using it hoping kbin can get up to speed quickly.

But if you can only support one your insurance admin is more important

WonkoTheSane,

Hello there, new users

WonkoTheSane,

I’m still checking Reddit. I think once Apollo goes my usage will really drop, but unfortunately Reddit was the one social media I really enjoyed and as much as I’m liking Lemmy/Kbin the communities just aren’t here yet. I hope that changes

WonkoTheSane,

If you want the most “universally enjoyed” I’d say start with TNG season 2. Then once you’re finished maybe check out DS9

WonkoTheSane,

It sounds like they’re planning to launch it with the new OS. Just started using Day One myself. I’m curious how the free version will compare to Apple

Microsoft considered acquiring Bungie and Sega to bolster Xbox Game Pass, internal emails show (www.theverge.com)

It’s not clear what happened with the Sega acquisition and whether Nadella ultimately approved talks. But in a Microsoft internal April 2021 merger review document, Sega was still listed as a key target. Microsoft had identified key areas for acquisitions in PC, mobile, and console across different markets, and Sega, Bungie,...

WonkoTheSane,

This is Microsoft’s playbook. It really is surprising it took them this long to start their financial weight around though. That said I hope regulators start standing up to these trillion dollar corporations. Start by blocking the Activision-blizzard acquisition

WonkoTheSane,

First go with an anti-inflammatory for a few days. But you may want to try PT. If insurance doesn’t cover it you can find a lot of videos on YouTube by PTs to address back pain

WonkoTheSane,

I would either use a hacked Switch, or a Steam Deck. What about the Deck isn’t selling you? It’s a wonderful emulation machine, although definitely a bit pricey if that’s going to be the majority of your usage

WonkoTheSane,

Don’t understand how people can still use Reddit and ignore all the ickiness.

WonkoTheSane,

It’s not quite that but if you’re on iOS check out Pixel Pals. It’s by the guy who did Apollo and it’s a little pet for your home screen that you can feed and play with!

Is the PS4 still a viable console?

One of my close friends decided that she's no longer enjoying games so she offered to sell it to me for really cheap (100$). I love gaming but since I switched to Mac a few years ago my choices have been very limited. I've been mostly playing indie games that are available on Mac. So I've been thinking about her offer....

WonkoTheSane,

There’s obviously a huge backlog of games. So if you’re a patient gamer then you could absolutely be happy with it for awhile. But the age of crossover games seems to be over as publishers are fully embracing PS5/SeriesX

WonkoTheSane,

You really cannot take Microsoft at face value on any of this. They will say whatever it takes to make this acquisition happen. As to most the console wars. What does that really mean? They’re in 3rd place, sure. But do you need to be in 1st for it to be profitable?

WonkoTheSane,

Risa is already here! I wish I knew how to link other communities 😅
