Do you want to talk about it?

The customary reply is “Thanks! I’ll add it to my list”

That’s a funny way to say “Have you opened a ticket?”

What a great idea! They should automate something like that! Maybe they could call it System Restore?

This is one of the issues that systemd purports to solve, and it gets nothing but flack for it.

There was a post the other day about how Reddit never took anything seriously and how the top comments were always predictable jokes that stopped being funny years ago.

It was nice to have places like Daystrom, Ask Science, etc. that were curated for serious discussion.

That’s okay. It’s good to live in a world where very different people enjoy very different things. I’m glad we can all be part of a social federation and still get along despite our infinite combinations of infinite diversity.

Unfortunately, outside of the meme zone (i.e. !risa@startrek.website) there isn’t a whole lot of engagement anymore. Once the blackout was over, the reddit communities opened back up.

I mean, look at r/DaystromInstitute versus !DaystromInstitute@startrek.website – it’s not pretty.

In an interview during the 90’s, William Shatner told of a story of him being recognized in mid-perfomance by a sword dancer in a small Iranian village.

They call it horror. But it’s so much more than that.
