Elon on the ocean. Elon, with axe in hand. His ship sinking. Spaz, his brain fried. Elon and Spaz on the ocean. Reddit and twitter, when the people left.

I don't know what to tell you. Makes sense to me

Yup, just replace all familiar jargon with fantasy words and you’ll see how it sounds to anyone new

The obvious solution is to kidnap them and teleport them to a planet where they will be forced to create an account

No! Forced to create an account but not on the flagship instances!

That is hilarious and so accurate. Source: me, who despite being here chatting with my Star Trek folks, still does not understand much of nothing about Lemmy. I'm learning, though.

Reddit -> Terok Nor, Lemmy -> DS9

Reddit is a tacky fascist corporate eyesore!

Reddit: Drake, his palm thrust outward.

Lemmy: Drake, his finger raised.

Janeway, when she was talking about making sense of temporal paradoxes.

This is pretty much me today or me any time I told any friends about Linux

MaxMouseOCX@vlemmy.net · 3 pts · 3y

That's easy... Linux is a lot like windows used to be, except sometimes it's very difficult because you're trying to do something complex, other times it's very difficult because that's just how it is.

Actually I would love an explanation. This bit has always gone over my head. Asi understand it they use stories to communicate but I think I missed context somewhere

  • Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra: Two parties coming together in mutual struggle
  • Temba, his arms wide: An act of giving or generosity
  • Shaka, when the walls fell: Failure or destruction.

In other words, in the Fediverse, you can offer content to different instances, and if another instance is bad, you can defederate. Tamarian requires a bit of context to make sense. (and that's why I'm a nerd, Your Honor)

Karno, in the forest with Mira!
