  • Same. I loathe Linux. I’ve been trying to use it since I was 19, periodically installing one distro or another, and I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I’m not saying it is bad or anything but I do not have the patience to fight with an OS over every tiny thing or having to look up a guide for every installation or having to double check what will work and won’t because you’re going to need a container.

    Linux, I’m sure, is great but it’s also one of the least user friendly operating systems out there, regardless of Distro. I keep trying to use Linux Mint and it keeps driving me up the fucking wall. Either Linux supports nothing without a battle or nothing supports Linux without a battle and I’m not remotely interested in fighting with my PC to do something simple. The second that that shit gets sorted is the second I’ll be fine.





  • Huh. That’s fucking odd. I just tested it on Piefed.world as well and same issue but on lemmy.world they do redirect correctly. Looks like Piefed might have some issue with that.

    At any rate, I’ve updated the list in the post. A set of extra links that are using a thing called Lemmyverse which should allow you to set a home instance on the first click and it’ll redirect to your instances version of that post/user/community. Only need to set the home instance once and you can change it easily anytime.












  • Oh boy…

    If you want the full story, check this thread. If you want to know more of the continuing stories, check this thread.

    The tl;dr though? The admins of startrek.website are the same guys who made the subreddits on reddit and the ones who were responsible for giving those subreddits an extremely bad name. If you ever noticed a ton of subreddits for the individual episodes, even multiple for each, it’s because of people who were running from them. They are psychotically abusive of their position, remove people for little to no reason, suppress any argument/position that they find distasteful, have completely misunderstood literally every single that that Star Trek teaches and personally harassed me by contacting admins from both multiple lemmy instances as well as my Mastodon instance to attempt to get me banned. Why? Because I was one of the biggest posters on their instance who noticed their abuse and left, taking the other big posters with me.

    In short, they’re thin skinned psychopaths who have no business calling themselves Trek fans when they have shirked every single duty to the truth that anyone in the Star Trek fandom has.
