In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander's son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There's a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It's healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

Those marine drones are five and a half metres long - so they're like speedboats, not those little hovering ones or those enormous UAVs.

I assume it's just a coincidental interaction. I mean, it's not like yeast wants us to get drunk [citation needed].

TIL that Takara Tomy (the company that made the Transformers toys) designed the Transformable Lunar Robot LEV-2, aka Sora-Q ("sky sphere"):

I think part of the problem is that even when you're subscribed to the small communities, it's easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

I'd like an option where you could "super subscribe" or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

No, it'll be fine 99% of the time.

Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.

I like this author's attitude. I scoffed a bit when I read about "joy that can be found in mediocrity" but he's right that you can (and should) just do something because you enjoy it or it's good for you.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?

If you're on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you're on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I'm surprised you say you don't know what the 😭 face means, since it's just exaggerated crying. Is it because they're too small, or that you suspect there's some implied agreement/subtext you're not party to?

I can see why people wouldn't know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it's not for the intended (I assume...) use.

I'm another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it's just so good, and I haven't even played with features like lenses.

I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn't support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).
