Reminded me a lot of Discovery. What a cool episode for Zero - their character design is quite fitting I think and looks good. Wonder if we’ll ever see that in live action. @startrek@startrek.website

Checking off two sci-fi bingo boxes with the classic “airplane race with an alien you just met” and “computer gone rogue” in the same half hour! Quite clever and brave of Zero to take the pointy AI out like that.

By the way, did Gwyn refer to Zero as a he in the log? If true, it wouldn’t be the first time a character’s pronouns have changed after you met them. Just like real life - I like that.

P.S. Is this the first time in Star Trek we hear a log in voiceover that also includes someone else’s voice?

@JupiterRowland@sh.itjust.works @fediverse@lemmy.world - https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks is a place where people discuss various ActivityPub implementations and potential improvements - primarily from a technological perspective (how the software is written), not as much from a cultural perspective (how users use the software), so it doesn’t directly answer your question, but it might still be helpful in some cases

@ChasingEnigma@lemmy.world DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.

@carlnewton@feddit.uk one advantage to a system like this, is that you don’t need it to catch on in a bunch of different communities for it to work. It can catch on even in one place, and it will already be useful for the people there.

@prefetcher@sh.itjust.works Very nice! I might switch my single-user server to something like this someday - it’d be nice to have something I know how to make changes to. Also looks like the database and cache dependencies all run through ASP.NET Core stuff so they could be replaced (although I know from experience that just because you’re using Cosmos DB thru EF Core doesn’t mean you can write your schema the same way!)

@jaagruk@mander.xyz microblog.pub has RSS feeds. you do need to self-host it though. That’s what I’m running on this account if you want to see an example

@haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com I’ve implemented the “log in with Microsoft”, “log in with Google”, etc buttons in ASP.NET Core + Identity before - most of them just use OAuth2, which works pretty much the same way no matter what provider you’re using.

OpenID Connect is an authorization layer built on top of OAuth2, so it could give you information about the user beyond just “they logged in and here’s an access token”. Maybe an OpenID Connect provider would be helpful in this use case - it seems to be designed to solve a problem much like this.
