I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel's performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.

Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn't caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It's great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

@rysiek@mstdn.social's blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it's there. It's nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.

We out here shilling for Big Lemmy

I'm still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous

Artist: "I made this from bits of my soul tied together with leftover trauma and the memory of my childhood home"

Reddit:

Honestly curious... what exactly are you doing in a community who's stated goal is to evangelize the Lemmy network?

I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not "debating" earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn't interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

Oh my yes.

Agree completely, I also just feel it's important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.

What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?

The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.

Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with "debate".

Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

Got it, appreciate the feedback! I actually tried the new Libra Color briefly and found the screen too hard to read without the backlight, wheras my Kindle I almost never use the backlight indoors. That said the Libra 2 was really nice and I may go back to it anyway.

Thank you! Does this work for all models?

Thanks yes I was looking at Boox but I really want it to be as not tablet-like as possible, and the battery thing would be a small hurdle for me. Kobo has some nice devices, I wish there was an updated sage as I don't really care about colors.

That's a great explainer, thank you! Any guidance on pointing me in the right direction to find Kindle jail breaking walk throughs? I may just end up keeping mine.

I was as surprised as you!
