I'm pretty sure baldness is not a medical condition...

I know it sounds insane but I swear to god BlueSky has astroturfing accounts on Lemmy. Every conversation (including yours here) about BlueSky is met with countless Sealions either saying it "will be federated soon" or asking "Why does federation matter?"

This is very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Everything now is rage-bait designed to get more clicks

IMO the greatest strength of the Fediverse is the increased number of mods and admins looking at everything. Don't want rage bait? Join an instance that has rules against it.

Additional PSA to admins not running a "universal free speech" instance- if you see someone someone being obnoxious it's probably annoying your users just as much as is is you. Don't put the onus fully on users to curate their experience. The Fediverse needs our adults in the room!

This is an excellent thing to wear in public and wait for other Trekkies to notice.

Happy to help! I would love it if you report back, we used to get 100 "How do I get a friend into Trek" posts/day on /r/StarTrek but very few follow ups on if it stuck!

"Data's Day" is actually a pretty great one to get someone into TNG, it's fun, but most importantly, Data is essentially walking around introducing all of the main characters to the audience.

I typically recommend starting with TNG in general (I used to say because it was "modern" 😭) as it naturally leads into DS9 and VOY. That said if your friend doesn't typically watch older shows but is open to them, then just starting with SNW or ENT is an excellent intro to the rest of Trek.

I thought this was going to be a video essay on Star Trek Phase II but I was pleasantly surprised Smiling

U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog in c/news@lemmy.world

It doesn't meet the definition of "developing nation" either.

To be clear- this is just your personal "vibe" and not an actual fact, because the term "third world country" literally means a country that is not aligned with the US or USSR. If you meant "developing nation" that term also has a definition the US does not meet.

I think this is a good incentive for Journalists to be more active on the fediverse.

Possible to have different desktop folders for different workspaces? (startrek.website)
 

I am a "messy desk" person and like to have a big open visual space for all the pseudo-temporary files belonging to whatever project I'm working on at a given time. It would be nice to have a workspace specifically dedicated for "work" and still be able to create a fresh one when needed, without having to "put all the work stuff away" first. I've found GNOME extensions that allow different wallpapers, which is great, but I would love to have an actual separate desktop, not just windows.

Bonus points if I could change the dock applications and GTK theme too.

Running Ubuntu 22.04, btw.

Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? (startrek.website)
 

I'm trying to be more mindful about my YouTube consumption, there are a lot of quality channels out there, but sticking to "subscriptions" is difficult when the YouTube app on my TV has so much distracting recommended content and shorts thrown at you, so I'd like to have a way to auto-download the content from specific channels to play later via Plex. I actually have YT Premium but plan on putting the money into the Patreons of my most-watched creators instead.

Features I'm looking for:

  • Automated downloading of new videos from specific channels
  • Ability to ignore/skip shorts
  • SponsorBlock if possible
  • Vimeo (and others) integration would be a huge plus too.
  • A way to easily add videos to a download queue manually (browser extension or something) for when I come across an interesting video in the wild" by someone I'm not subscribed to/don't want to subscribe to.

Things I've looked into:

  • TubeSync - returns 500 errors anytime it's indexing, which it does every day, meaning setup is very tedious. It's also frustrating to configure for every single channel independently, but (ostensibly) does what I'm looking for? I think?
  • TubeArchivist - Try as I might I just cannot get this up and running on CasaOS/Docker. Seems nice, but also looks like overkill for my use case.
  • YoutubeDL-Material - Struggling to get this installed too, but it also doesn't seem to have additional features like SponsorBlock.

Anything I'm missing or are these basically the main options for now? Would love something as simple as Sonarr.

USB drive for safe long term offsite backup with RPi? (startrek.website)
 

My goal is to create an simple offsite backup of my CasaOS setup using a RasPi 3b+ with external USB drive at a friend's house. Are there any recommended methods for doing this?

Also: what should I look for in an external hard drive as far as reliability goes for something that will essentially always be on? I'm not well versed in all the WD blue, red, etc. Does it matter?
