Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.
We just need Monty Python and hitchhikers guide and we're golden
And more C A T P I C T U R E S
The true foundation of any internet community.
And nobody mentioned beans?
You can't have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!
All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek's case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.
With startrek.website we'd hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it's own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.
Instead it turned out "Star Trek and Linux" was enough to satisfy nearly everyone's tastes (both subtle and gross).
I use Arch, btw.
Arch...? You mean Jonathan Archer. I understood this Star Trek reference.
I mean… I could use Jonathan Archer.
Who couldn't use a Jonathan Archer once in a while?
..what were we talking about?
Oh boy...
Errrrrr... Exactly!
This meme got the LW logo to represent Lemmy. We can understand why there is no more :-(
But in reality, there is dbzer0, blahaj, slrpnk, and more too
All of those sound like sketchy porn sites...
Dude, theses are the reals. No LW.
It kinda sucks if you don't use Linux and don't watch Star Trek though :/
I once told Lemmy users that I liked MacOS. I still haven’t recovered from the beating.
Lmao. I don't really care what OS people use. I'm not really passionate about any OS. I just use it as a medium to do things I enjoy so I'm really not interested in any OS talk about any operating system. I use all 3 OS daily pretty much (Linux, Mac and Windows).
I watch star trek but don't use Linux as a primary operating system due to it not meeting specific requirements of mine
just out of curiosity may I ask what those are
You sound ready to spring your "but you can do that in Linux" trap
We all area ready. Lemmy is a minefield for that.
Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
I have no regrets joining
I use Arch btw - live long and prosper lemmings
I'm on mbin BTW. The fediverse arch.
then why is it kbin.life?
It's all smoke and mirrors!
Lemmy. The final frontier.
These are the forums of the Lemmy communities.
Its continuing mission to explore strange new posts. To seek out new memes and new discussions.
To boldly go where no social media has gone before.
Cue Theramin
The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.
Look at this at tell me it’s insufficiently nerdy.
Okay, I'll tell you it's insufficiently nerdy. How about a game that's been played since 1983 and has just gotten to the second turn?
The only game that came with its own protractor. I'm not joking.
All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn't realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.
Every night I look forward to new adventures on whatever Star Trek series that I've come to.
If I fall a sleep during an episode, I blame the episode, and I haven't regretted cutting them short like that. The good ones will be worth it and most of the bad ones too, but when the android character is playing a theater part of Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck and I'm supposed to give a shit? No.
Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!
I most certainly am going to, I've watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.
If you ever get to Strange New Worlds and Discovery, they flesh out The Menagerie in all kinds of interesting ways. My only complaint is that they didn't make Vina look deformed enough when she appeared.
