How about none?

If I wanted to see soulless retreads of older franchises whose time and relevance has passed, then I’d watch Hollywood shit.

UY 2022, Ranma 1/2 2024, I’m looking at you.

Oh debianastro made an alt account, or an alt instance. That explains how this got past my block filter.

Subtle propaganda for diverting public school funds to segregated private schools through vouchers.

Thereby further weakening unionized teachers, and the middle class as a whole.

Fuck Linda McMahon and Betsy DeVos

Mandarin Chinese isn’t just a language.

Its vernacular is manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party to reflect political goals.

This is paralleling the concept of Orwellian “goodthink” from 1984’s Newspeak.

After all, it’s hard to think of rebellion, if there are no words or phrases for new concepts.

It’s one of the reasons why the CCP wants to destroy related languages like Cantonese, so that they can manipulate thought more easily.

Wow, really? The guy must have a silver tongue to keep conjuring that production money, because that first season was shit.

Wow, snapshot from a bygone age.

Dry cleaners around here have just about all been wiped out, because nobody wears “nice” clothing anymore.

Going back to episode 7, it just occurred to me where I heard the “Ventura, ventura, space people” chant and ring dance before:

In an episode of 80s Urusei Yatsura:

This is from the a dubbed version, but it’s the same thing in the original Japanese.

According to a reddit post, “ventora” came from a Japanese UFO society https://hatch.kookscience.com/wiki/Cosmic_Brotherhood_Association_(CBA)

No idea if the dance came from them too.

I hate my Samsung S25.

The hardware is lightning fast, but this OneUi garbage fucks up multiple apps, even Voyager that I am using to type this right now.

They especially seem to fuck over the Fossify open source apps.

The redundant Samsung apps (Phone, Messenger, Calendar, Photos, App Store, et al) are garbage clones of the vanilla Google Android apps.

I never had this many problems with my Motorola, which did use vanilla Google Apps

How many people actually own shortwave-receiving radios though?

I misremembered: It’s beehaw that defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

That’s bad news because of the large numbers of communities and users on .world and sjw

I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where bigotry wasn’t a large problem anymore.

Kind of like getting rid of money.

Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.

For example, there was an instance named lemmy.film that isn’t there anymore, but you can still find content that was posted on it on all but the newest instances.

Bad news for you: Lemmy was created and is maintained by “tankies”

But don’t be so choosy with your allies, or you’ll find yourself standing alone.

If someone subscribed beforehand to content from Instance B, it’ll still be there on your instance A’s cache, but there will be no new content after defederation, if that makes any sense.

I would avoid lemmy.world, just to spread the risk around.

A mid sized instance like lemmy.ca, lemmy.cafe, sopuli.xyz should work well

And of course, check to see that your prospective new instance isn’t de-federated from communities that are important to you, or something else strange, like lemmy.zip allegedly geoblocks UK IP addresses.

Some large instances are defederated from lemmynsfw.com, so if those /c’s are important to you…

lemmy.ml is defedded from ani.social, so if any of those /c’s are important to you…

Several instances are defedded from hexbear.net, beehaw.org. Again, if you like any /c’s on those instances…

And of course, if an instance hosts a lot of groups that are important to you, it might be a good idea to sign up there.

Well if WB pays Zaslav more, he’ll do a better job, so that needs to happen at the next board meeting.

In case you were wondering, like I was:

Foals will begin to eat grain, if accessible, within the first month.
