Alex@geddit.socialto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•I wish that song was longerEnglish
13·3 years agoThe Klingon boy band made the final cut, thankfully. However, they shot two versions of the Klingons, led by Bruce Horak as the Klingon captain. The second was opera. Ultimately, the opera take felt too close to the other singing. Luckily, the Klingon boy band won.

That’s a lot of words just to say “we know nothing”.
Alex@geddit.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do Lemmy instances have such obscure TLDs?English
1·3 years ago.world is *a* firefish instance. not the main firefish instance (which is .social).
so when I said, “it’s not the same person running it” - the flagship instance, if you will, is .social. many of the main people coding it are on .social (afaik). .world is just another instance.
that was i meant, if i need to clarify : the main main people coding-wise are not the same. the flagship instance (which is not .world) is not run by the same people as the mastodon flagship instance.
“the flagship instance” (if you will) of Mastodon is mastodon.social. not run by the same people who run firefish.social. they are not the same thing, run by the same people.
that’s what I was getting at. i guess I only make sense to myself.

3·3 years agoJust to clear something up, CalcKey is now known as Firefish(.social) and that’s run by a completely different person.
First musical episode of Trek ever…ever…ever… *hears echo*
Did you know there are apps for that? (ie. Kaiteki)
If you didn’t, you might want to try them. They work just fine, at least the one I’ve tried.

41·3 years agoI completely understand what was said - that is not the problem. I’m well aware.
The problem is that I misread the issue I linked to.

Alex@geddit.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Twitter is looking to sue Meta for "stealing trade secrets" amongst other things regarding Threads. Could/would they also take aim at Mastodon?English
21·3 years agoYou could’ve ended that sentence with another word and it would still be accurate.
And that’s all I’m sayin’.
Alex@geddit.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Twitter is looking to sue Meta for "stealing trade secrets" amongst other things regarding Threads. Could/would they also take aim at Mastodon?
19·3 years agoJust a suggestion, you might want to insert the word “allegedly” somewhere in there because Meta is refuting that assertion.
“To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing” - Andy Stone, Meta’s communications director
edit: yes I know that doesn’t preclude the possibility of Meta hiring former Twitter employees and not making them part of the Threads team.

103·3 years agoShort answer: No.
tl;dr answer: There’s no tagging function in place unless you manually tag them using markdown, and that still wouldn’t notify them. That would be a bandaid solution at best.
Alex@geddit.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How many people here have actually used XMPP?
3·3 years agoI still use it with a couple of friends on a private server.
Geddit outta here.















Yeah, there are some really cool things you can’t do on Mastodon, such as Misskey-formatted-markup.
For example: look at those kitties go!
