I would be happy with just one loss that actually sticks.

I feel like all I read is, "Trump is really in trouble this time!" - but all I actually hear is Waylon Jennings saying, "Boy that Donald sure is in a heap ah trouble."

Can't wait to be depressed and feel helpless ... again.

These movies are great but I just don't know what to do about the obvious and ongoing destruction of habitat/species.

See any of the noclip documentaries.

I've been enjoying it, but yeah... I was hoping for more shenanigans if you crit (fail or succeed). I got a crit success early on and really wished it would have had more of an effect than just, "you passed your check".

Well, I'm slight embarrassed. I think that was part of my confusion about Matrix - it seemed to me that it was both a protocol and a platform. That colored my memory of XMPP too. IIRC, Jabber was the client and protocol before the protocol was renamed to XMPP.

As for what I'm interested in - I'm not sure. I don't really use discord save for a few Patreon follows; my friends use a group Signal chat. I think maybe I'm interested in recapturing the old IRC feeling of finding a chat room and just "hanging out"? I suppose I could always dig out my Irssi client config and just join Freenode again.

(Ye gods, wtf happened here to Freenode/Librachat?)

At work today, I just heard the term, "Federated Machine Learning" - where individual corporations keep their proprietary learning data, but make the models shareable. I wonder if something similar could be done with activitypub?

(Feel free to steal this idea if it's worth stealing)

XMPP - now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I thought the woke Google chat federation and subsequent drop pretty much killed it off - but I'm glad to be wrong.

Are there XMPP based group chat/Matrix/Discord alternatives?

Does there tend to be logical groups for Matrix channels/servers? (Meaning you don't really just join Matrix, you go to a Matrix instance for Jerjoba support, or other common interest like Hockey?)

Okay, help an old-timer out.

Lemmy :: Reddit

Mastodon :: Twitter (I refuse to call it "X")

Matrix :: ???

Is it like discord? The olden days of AIM/ICQ/IRC?

It's at least a running gag on Lower Decks - https://screenrant.com/star-trek-koala-lower-decks-joke-explained/.

In case this wasn't asked sarcastically - Free and Open Source Software.

There's gotta be some essential episode watch list (like Let's Watch Star Trek).

they'll cannibalize code from their ad-systems

Imagine if their phone home system for tracking installs could be defeated by something as simple as Pihole DNS Ad block.

Gdi, so does this mean I finally need to sit down with my wife and watch both series before the live action Ashoka?

Or is there a shorter watch list?

Doesn't matter to a certain extent. They voted how many hundreds of times to get rid of the ACA? Republicans (especially the far right) don't give a shit about actually succeeding - they just want to go home to their districts and show they "stood up" to the anti-Trump Rinos.

I'm just happy that literally every other problem facing Americans have been solved - otherwise this would be a really bad waste of time! /s

That was my initial thought. In general, churches are seeing loss of participation across the board NPR. It would really easy to funnel the homeless into church if they're literally living feet away from the narthex.

And what happens to those who refuse to come and worship? Are they booted out?

There's definitely a problem with homelessness, but I don't want to see these people be coerced into anything.

Don't forget the inherent biases that are introduced with AI training! Women especially have a history of having their symptoms dismissed out of hand - if the LLM training data includes these biases, in combination with the bad diagnosis women could be really screwed.

Wegmans is an East coast grocery store, but IIRC DiBella's has made it all the way to Indiana.

DiBella's, hands fucking down. Failing that, a sub from Wegmans.

As a resident of misery, we do. But gerrymandering plus shitty candidates means that the Republicans are basically a guaranteed win.
