Once you’ve read the Silmarillion, there’s also The Children of Húrin. If you start from the Hobbit > LOTR > Silmarillion > CoH, it’s basically a steady progression of increasing epicness and tragedy.
I suppose the Silmarillion is the most epic, but Children of Húrin is the most intensely tragic.
Yes this is good to know, I wasn’t aware of the background with some of the fediverse projects.
I don’t understand the question. Pretty much all fediverse software was built with federation in mind from the start. They all started from scratch afaik, nothing was built on top of a centralized design.
They also happen to perform similar functions as earlier centralized websites, but that’s simply because those are the ways that people commonly prefer to use the internet. People use it to share photos, stream videos, connect with friends, microblog, blog, browse content aggregators, etc.
There could definitely be new paradigms of internet usage waiting to be discovered, but if the fediverse can’t even replace the existing functionality of the web first, it’d be very ambitious to start building brand new types of sites already.
In my experience most internet spaces that specifically cater to teenagers also tend to attract a lot of creeps. I think it’s probably for the best to nominally limit Lemmy to adults only, especially at this early stage.
You’re assuming that a centenarian couldn’t set up a Lemmy server? That’s ageism
That’s true, originally only users that posted or commented were counted as active. Then they changed it to count users who had voted as active, even if they didn’t post or comment.
But I believe that change occured almost one year ago, in March 2024. You can see a big spike of active users at that time. Starting this January we’ve seen some really nice organic growth, although it’s not nearly to the level of the API exodus. We still need more users, but it’s really encouraging to see some solid growth after over a year of stagnation/slow decline.
Wow. Absolute legend
Lol nice, thanks for the link.
I’ve started dreaming in markdown 😅
Tbf, Kendrick Lamar is an unbelievably talented musician. Drake is just a lame ass celebrity, you can easily ignore him and be better off.
But Kendrick has made some really fantastic albums. If you’re not into rap than you might not care too much anyway, but he doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Drake, despite their dumb ass feud.
I don’t even like hip-hop that much but Section 80 and Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City are easily among my favorite albums of all time.
Yes that’s what I meant by inserting a line break. Btw you only need three hyphens.
I’ve become pretty adept with lemmy markdown, it’s extremely useful for formatting
Amazing that we are already up to 0.19.9 and on the verge of version 1.0.
The project has come a long way since 0.17.4, when I first joined. Sometimes it felt like it was taking a long time but looking back it seems like it went so fast. Thank you so much to all contributors, especially Dessalines and Nutomic.
There is still much more to be done, but I also think it’s good to reflect on how far we have come.
Very nice to see the fix for the spoiler bottom margin, I have been inserting line breaks after spoilers to alleviate that issue for quite some time.
Kangaroo Jack
Kangaroo Jack’s premise, trailer, and commercials promise little more than the spectacle of two enthusiastic actors being kicked over and over again by a sassy, computer-animated kangaroo—and, sadly, the film fails to deliver even that.

Dumbest people on the planet put a man on the moon 🌚
Continental powers really gonna ragequit? That’s bm
AFAIK the boat dudes are countering that with lasers.
At least according to this entirely credible source.
Uhhhh, hexbear is supposedly like 20% trans or something. They have preferred pronouns baked into the software. Tankies on Lemmy vocally love trans people.
You don’t actually have any rational explanation for what it is that is problematic about Nutomic, it’s just something you heard somewhere and are blindly repeating.
I have a very long track record on Lemmy of opposing tankies, so the accusations of being a tankie apologist are easily disproven. At least for those who care enough to actually do their own research, instead of simply parroting whatever gossip happens to float into their ears.
First of all, that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not Nutomic is a tankie. So I’m assuming you concede that you were completely wrong about that.
Second of all, that’s a screenshot of a private message.
What specifically bothers you about what he said there?
Dudes with boats have been OP for the longest time. From the sea peoples to the Vikings to all of the major European colonial powers to the American Navy. With many more stops in between 😅
The Austronesians even abused this strat way before anyone else realized how strong it was.
Ever since the devs patched in the air power update it’s not as bad as before. But still, land mains have been begging for a nerf to naval power for the longest time and the devs don’t seem to care at all.
It’s not better than Middle Earth. But it is very cool. I need to reread, I’ve only read it once and that was over a decade ago.
The Amazon show was so disappointing but kinda inspired me to read the books again. It’s just such a daunting task to get started 😅
