If it's not then it's not living up to the Star Trek name IMO!
Dang the musical episode was a major highlight for me 🤷♂️
Pixel doesn't have eink screen though which is kind of the whole point
I am glad I had the advanced wisdom and intellect to recognize and correct for the error.
The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:
And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.
I have to disagree somewhat, it's a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don't like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.
Fortunately "groupthink" on the fediverse isn't a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.
im not sure if youre joking but matt groening created the simpsons which is a fictional cartoon that premiered on fox broadcasting company, an entirely different company than news corp which created fox news and which existed nearly a decade before the simpsons did.
