Just a rabbit who enjoys AI art, veganism, knitting and some other stuff. I’d like to join Starfleet one day.

Not OP but here you go. I work with young people and have had suicide prevention training multiple times, this is a recurring mantra that not asking about it is much worse than asking.

Just arrived at parents for a long weekend and am sat on their couch knitting socks too! Some things are just essential!

You going anywhere nice?

Sounds lush! Have a great time on the cruise, I’ve been thinking they do look like fun and I’d like to try one day

I watched it yesterday and had a similar reaction. There’s really good animation and the story was really good to get more depth for hey character. There were also some interesting call backs. Spoilers below!

Samson still had his powers so we got to see those in action. Also the green phasing person was a man, in the invincible series it’s a woman so I wonder what happened there? The people in tubes reminded me of robot too, I wonder if we’re going to get more of the others origin stories as well? Monster girl would be cool to see how she got cursed like that

Hey there! Thanks for taking this over, I’ve not been able to post much recently but really glad this community is here. I love sharing knitting patterns and tips.

I’m not a huge fan of self promotion posts really, but there is that blurred line where someone is sharing their own WIP/FO from their own design, etc. What about if we have a self promote day a week? Would something like that work?

I love it! 🤩 It feels like emojis are allowed here and I think they’re fun 💃🕺👯

The current status is that he’s really active on lemmy still and will sometimes pop in on these type of posts and answer your questions.

He did do a follow up about how to take a poop when you haven’t for three days lol. So he clearly had trouble getting started again but I think he’s well now.

Hi! I’m in the UK and use catbox for all my images here on lemmy. I read that I’m not supposed to be able to access it but I’ve not had any issues

No worries! It was shared with me (on here I think) so I’m just spreading the love 😁

Speckle,

This is so, so good! 🤩🤩 I’ve not seen it before so thank you for sharing it again.

I’ve got it saved in my posts so I can replicate it, I think it would make a good Christmas gift for someone I know.

I always hear that in his voice. He’s so good as Captain Holt!

These are some of my favourites:

The Inner Light

Chain of Command

Sins of the Father

The Most Toys

The Offspring

I mean there are loads of bangers in the whole series and I think it just gets better over time in general but those are some ones that come to mind.

Yeah there is a lot of story in there and the whole episode feels gritty. Patrick Stewarts acting is solid from season 2 onwards IMO, but I am quite biased

Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

Speckle,
@Speckle@lemmy.world avatar

I think lemmy is too small at the moment to downvote in the same way people did on reddit. It’s still growing and we need people to post content to build the site and everyone’s engagement, downvotes for just disagreeing are going to discourage a whole new group of people who didn’t post on reddit because of getting drowned out in the noise. Look in all the question posts about how people are enjoying lemmy and you’ll see a bunch of them.

I’ve just been moving on and ignoring things I disagree with, no upvote is enough punishment in my eyes. Saying that I’ve been giving out upvotes to most things to encourage people to post and comment more. If something is clearly gross and offensive it’ll get a downvote and possibly a report, but that’s so rare in the communities I’m going to. If it’s a really off topic comment or whatever then yes it’s downvoted because it doesn’t belong.

If there’s something I really, really disagree with but don’t want to get into a conversation about it I’ll just block the user. That way I don’t have to see or deal with their opinions I disagree with anymore and can just move on with my life.

I guess that’s a really, really long winded way of agreeing with you lol. I’ve been a lot more liberal with the upvotes and have really changed my downvote behaviour too.

I’ve been using Liftoff and think it’s got a really nice UI. Just found the OLED setting and it’s very, very black and pretty.

I was just about to come here and say the same thing. I just found this out today so it’s all shiny in my brain.

Same, I’m obsessed! I never posted or commented at all, now I mod 2 small communities lol. I didn’t even make memes until the other day, this is like my 5th one.

We gotta get them memes pumping!

two panel meme. Top panel spider-man played by Tom Holland without his mask on looking pained, bottom text is everywhere I go. Bottom panel a large image of the op’s profile picture with spider-man looking up at it, bottom text is I see his face

Otters are brilliant! Not quite as good as rabbits but they’re still pretty good, thanks for the new template!

Is there a quick ways to see changes in federation?

Is there a quick way to see what instances are federated with each other? I know for a while (and maybe still are) beehaw and Lemmy.ml defederated from Lemmy.world. Are they still defederated? Is it worthwhile to post on their communities if those users won’t see it?

Speckle,
@Speckle@lemmy.world avatar

Just popping in to say I don’t think lemmy.ml ever defederated from lemmy.world, they just had issues sending info to each other during the really busy weekend due to all the new users. They’re definitely federated now, just checked their instance list at the bottom of the page.

I personally blocked the Beehaw communities I used to be in before they defederated because the only people who’d see and be able to interact with my posts and comments would be other lemmy.world users and it would be like a weird little echo chamber.

No idea if Beehaw will federate again, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see but there’s a lot out there in the mean time. And if you really want to join in Beehaw you can always make an account there.

Just to add on to this as the mod of a young community.

Mods can still see posts (and also comments I think) when you delete them on the communities they mod. Same with removed posts. So it’s not just admins that can still see things once they’re gone from most peoples view.

I always shipped Lwaxana Troi and Odo after the episode The Muse and there was often a theme of Odo exploring his emotional side.

Some kind of sitcom with Lwaxana and Odo raising a child together would be a trip. Or a series with them travelling on ambassadorial duties, Odo providing security and the kid running around being a telepathic nightmare. Good times.

Section 31, the secretive illegitimate covert arm of Starfleet, had Sloan who really seemed like he’d done a lot in the name of the federation. He tells Bashir as much in Extreme Measures so it would be really cool to see some of the darker things the Federation disavowed or turned a blind eye to.

Very different tone to most trek probably but a whole different side of the federation, more of the unhappy side like the Maquis who don’t get explored much either.

Speckle,
@Speckle@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah DS9 was a bit more ‘real’ than the other seasons I think. Especially dealing with some pretty dark stuff like the war and how it was resolved, genocide was on the table like you say. Hmmm. Does make the federation look a bit different when you think about this shady stuff being allowed by the top brass because it works in their favour.

I’ve just seen in the sidebar there is already A Section 31 movie in production!

I’ve been using ‘Custom Socks Knit to Fit Your Feet’ and adapting patterns to my own, or other peoples, measurements. It does mean getting an accurate swatch but I’ve been keeping notes with all the different yarns I use so I only have to do the swatch once per yarn

Speckle,
@Speckle@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely! I’m posting multiple times a day some days and commenting a lot more. It feels a bit more like you get noticed but also doesn’t feel like you’re going to get your head bitten off just for speaking. And you can use emojis here 👍👋

Speckle,
@Speckle@lemmy.world avatar

This is really interesting and good to know, thank you for sharing. I’m going to try and remember this for all my images going forward.

For posts that are image based does the OP need to describe them or is that covered somehow already by screen readers?
