That and Crypto/wallstreetbets is what I assume. But like most subscription services, the paid tier will start out as "bonus" content but eventually more features get locked behind the paywall.

If they're foolish enough to paywall old.reddit it would force a lot of the olds out.

I have to imagine that a free Lemmy version of most communities would be more appealing to most people the paywalled subreddit. But I also have a feeling the paywalled subreddits are going to be crypto or meme stock related, where there's a benefit to them being paywalled.

EDIT: As other have said, there's an incentive for the porno subs to be paywalled too.

This was really cool, it's nice that fans are saving smaller less famous props and things from the show that could have easily been thrown out. Thanks for sharing.

"Stuff in my feed I don't want to see in my feed" is kind of the exact problem the Fediverse set out to solve. Nothing gets "injected" to a feed here so if you are seeing it, it's a choice to continue to do so.

Zorin is another distro that (very successfully imo) does a windows-style taskbar with GNOME and is parent friendly, though like I said before, I think today I would go with something immutable for a non-techie because they're very hard to break.

KDE is the easiest for coming from Windows, you almost never never need the command line or anything "extra" to customize it (beyond what even Windows will allow).

GNOME (especially in Ubuntu) by default is more Macintosh-like which might appeal to some people, it's "simpler" but any customizations will require navigating the add-ons (and in my experience inevitably the command line too).

I think KDE is the one for most people who just want a functioning PC. GNOME could be good for the PC you might make for your parent. Bonus points for an immutable distro which are even harder to break.

I was not a fan of seasons 1-3 pretty much at all (3 was ok), but 4 was one of my favorite seasons of any Trek and 5 is also very good. I would be interested to read a follow up post when you're finished!

This is still the best at capturing it, imo: https://xkcd.com/1732/

In another thread @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website described this plot as "Extremely TOS" and I went from not-hating-but-not-loving it to having much more positive feelings. Is it silly? Yes. Is it humanist? Also yes. And what's more Star Trek than that?

"Sure, The Borg have been a bit of a problem. Their tendency toward mass assimilation and the stripping of individuality and personal freedom doesn’t exactly jibe with our idea of what makes a great leader. But let’s be honest. Kathryn Janeway hasn’t been perfect."
