Debian Testing. It isn’t “recommended” but it works fine.

Obviously if you want AUR you need an Arch variant, in which case just pick Arch.

Edit: I needed the why, it’s up to date enough for me and I know apt well.

Looking around online, further rumors seem to lean towards it being a Federation origin film.

That would put us in ENT era, but I don’t see them following the existing canon. Maybe following a non-Enterprise ship to recruit an early but non-founding planet. The origin in this case being about how the Federation first expanded.

The other option could be picking up right after First Contact. How mankind adapts to learning about the Vulcans.

I just don’t see either of those films getting greenlit.

The new House isn’t sworn in until January 3… By the time we get to January 6, the electors are supposed to have voted. December 11 is the deadline for appointing electors, December 25 the deadline for voting. Mike Johnson will still be in charge on both of those days.

Since we’re not playing by the rules anymore, could the new house speaker (assuming Democratic majority) just extend/accept things on Jan 3rd?

Since we’ll know that sooner they would just need to signal that they intend to accept late appointments and voting.

I suppose that too would go to the Supreme Court, but it seems worth trying.

Also Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003).

Diablo 2 also had an expansion… and balance patches… But I agree.

I wouldn’t classify every monolingual person as trapped in an echo chamber

Simply being something isn’t an echo chamber, you have to have a thought or opinion being shared by the group. If every person you interact with only speaks one language, and they all share that one language is the best method of communication, that’s an echo chamber.

Use social media how you like

I agree. Although it is useful to be aware of your own biases.

the solution to echo chambers is going outside and touching grass not forcing yourself to interact with every community on the internet.

Assuming you don’t mean literally “touch grass”, the solution is seeking out opinions/thoughts outside of your echo chamber. That doesn’t necessarily mean forcing yourself to interact with terrible communities, but being aware and understanding (but not agreeing with) them.

Although I again refer to using social media how you like is fine. No one needs to be exposed to certain communities. It’s not wrong or lazy or bad to ignore certain communities or viewpoints, especially toxic ones. However you should be aware that they exist and it can be helpful, if you choose, to understand where they come from.

As a harmless example, if you don’t like brussel sprouts and none of your friends like brussel sprouts, it may benefit you to try brussel sprouts or to seek out and talk to or read about people who like brussel sprouts. You can still at the end of the day dislike brussel sprouts. You don’t have to change your opinion. But now your opinion is more well rounded.

Sure, but my first month of Lemmy was via the web. I still use Mastodon on the web (no app). Whenever I find myself on Reddit (via search) it’s web only. If someone sends me a random YouTube link, I open it in the web. On the off chance someone sends me a random TikTok link, web only.

Again I don’t use any of these apps, but if someone sends me a loops link and it says install the app, I’ll just ignore it.

Honestly that’s great news, but wouldn’t a web version have made wayyyyyyy more sense?

So far, there is only some user settings accessible in the web interface. I don’t have an iPhone, hence I cannot say for their app. The android app will come later, apparently.

I don’t give a shit about TikTok or short form video but legitimately how is this expected to succeed with these limitations? Clearly people like this stuff but can a fediverse service really afford to be iPhone only? This truly seems doomed to fail.

I have lots of shower thoughts, usually it’s what to do next in the D&D campaign I’m running. I could post them, but I don’t think that’s the spirit of the community.

Sure it isn’t a perfect comparison, but the idea is the same.

I dunno, asking a friend is the right thing to do. Demanding things is how I ended up with a body in the first place.

Comcast introduced the “Xfinity” branding in 2010. I still call refer to it as “Comcast”. Any conversation I have where an ISP comes up, the word “Comcast” is used. If someone says “Xfinity”, they often follow it up with “you know, Comcast”.

Now that’s a VERY clear brand change.

The name “X” is a VERY confusing brand change. It will likely be called Twitter forever. In fact at some point Musk will sell or give up on “X” and I guarantee within a year the new owner will change the name back to Twitter.

we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics

Lol we have that now… just be sure to phrase your question in the form of a Linux distro.

But to be serious I do think we’re heading that way, but it’s going to take a long time, likely as long as it took Reddit (if not longer).

Given the past few years… it’s on mine.

It’s not technically what you mean, but during the first Doctor Strange film he gets injured and teleports himself to a Hospital. I seem to recall he gives a diagnosis of himself to Christine Palmer while he is in his spirit form, since his body is dying.

He would have, but only the New York case was declared a mistrial. He’s still convicted in California with a 16 year sentence. The New York case is being tried again, so hopefully he is convicted and the additional 20+ years are returned.

Piglet carrying Pooh up the slopes of Orodruin is a rather silly mental image.

Silly… Or heroic? It’s exactly why it works. You look at Piglet and know, definitely, there is no way that tiny little pig can carry that giant yellow bear. And yet. Heroes.

I’d swap Pooh/Samwise and Piglet/Frodo.

Pooh/Frodo is the more adventurous type and Piglet/Samwise is the loyal tag along. Plus think of scenes like Samwise chasing after Frodo as he crosses the river. Pooh would be the one trying to adventure off and the nervous Piglet chasing after. Or Piglet carrying Pooh into Mount Doom.

The truth is there are SO MANY great episodes of The Simpsons. Even the current seasons have a lot to offer.

I also think that the earlier seasons get an advantage because they’re the episodes we’ve all seen dozens of times.

Obviously I won’t deny that the earlier seasons have 10/10 episodes. Maybe there are fewer 10/10 as you go along, but even a “bad” episode will have some great jokes in it.

In fact the “I’m a sign, not a cop” meme/macro, that’s a season 20 episode.
