A better solution would be to get used to an algorithm-free feed. Having “sensational” BS blasted at you at all times is addictive, shortens your attention span, and is the reason Mastodon didn’t go for those algorithms.

If we could figure out how to get perishable items everywhere then we’d have less waste

Or, you know, not overproduce.

I’m not sure I trust myself with that functionality.

I think you’re right that the community could be more welcoming to newcomers. I also think there is a great point that newbies should be prepared to learn the technical side.

It is terrific that nontechnical people want to self host, particularly as a way of keeping their data and services under their own control. But a large part of the attraction that corporate services like Google and Microsoft offer is, they remove the entire technical layer from users’ view.

As a result we have a few generations that largely don’t know how to even host a basic website, much less rather more complex server software. If you want to admin a server and several services on it, it really is a good idea to know what is required to serve it securely, even only on a local network.

And I’m coming at this from an end user’s perspective, having dappled in home and remote servers for small projects, picking up some limited skills in the process. I have appreciated the GUI offerings that make it easier to set up a home lab or other server for beginners, but at the end of the day, I really think everybody should have (or try to attain) the technical knowledge required to operate or at least maintain the technology we use.

This is not meant to trash on your Safebox project, but a more general viewpoint.

TIL. Will have to look it up for future updates. Preserving root is really the only drawback of updating LOS/mG.

For updates between minor versions, I just use the LOS updater in settings. I haven’t seen any suggestions to uninstall Magisk beforehand, is that device specific perhaps?

I do usually need to patch and flash a file to get root again after installation.

Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

Also, the idea that somewhere there is a species that’s just unquestionably, irredeemably evil. Trek has toyed with the notion before (Hi, Armus!), but this feels like a Pandora’s box moment if they stick with it.

Also also, why did all the scifi of the finale feel like it was streamlined to make space for a Harry Potter wizard battle?

It’s the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.

And it’s not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It’s the decision from above that SNW’s sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.

We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing…?

Engage the core.

No, no. Don’t you dare go to warp on a workout joke!

By now it’s probably a really smelly paperweight, and Bitcoin Man would be bugging them endlessly even to regain ownership over that 🤷

I think we’re living the best ending where it’s never going to be recovered, and this dude is flailing ever more futilely at courts…
