What's your Sci-Fi unpopular opinion?
I think sci-fi writers constantly make their stakes far too high, stack the odds far to heavily against the protagonists, and go for a scope far to broad. I don't need 3 people to save the entire intergalactic population from a super mega back hole bomb with .002 seconds to spare. I've seen it and read it a thousand times.
Give me the guy who thinks maybe his spaceship could take on exploring one planet, tell me what he finds and why it was wise for him to run home and call for extra resources to be redirected to that planet. Tell me how the technology of your imaginary world brought 2 characters together and allowed them to build a beautiful life together.
That's why I adore The Martian and can't get excited about Star Wars.

Infamous power mod got permabanned without explanation, then have a public meltdown.
This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.
Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn't have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban "wasn't enough," they gave a longer ban so I would "learn my lesson."
Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.

Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff
Reply in thread
This is very much what this is like. Kbin and Lemmy do not have to confirm to reddit's norms. I'm glad it's different here.

Reddit mods are calling for an ‘affordable return’ for third-party apps
Reply in thread
Yep, that ship has sailed. Time for the mods to go make their own reddit, (with blackjack and affordable api) and leave that one to burn itself down.

I don't understand most of those terms, but uh, sounds good?
Permission toggles that mean something, battery life and no bloat ware sound great to me.

"No one wants to work"? Suuuuure
It's almost like people want to be treated well, no matter how low on the ladder their job lands.

People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars

My opinion is that touch screens should be for passengers only. Display screens are fine, but if physical buttons are so unacceptable, then we need voice control that actually works.
Also, I'm surprised no one has started a company to retrofit buttons and switches into modern cars. Whatever kind of headache that would be to design and install, I'd like to see it work.

GitHub to Replace Pagan Monad with Christian Cross
I don't understand why either of these symbols were thought to belong on this particular button.

Hey lemmings, we should do a lemmy place to compete with r/place.
I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.

Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best
Ha, good luck with that, Reddit.

What do you use Vaseline for?
I use it kind of like WD-40 in a farm setting. It's messy, but not as messy as grease. It's effective to coat things that constantly wear and have started to rust. I also rub it on my leather boots to waterproof it for cheap.

Why aren't US voting machines open source?
It sounds too sketchy to the old people who make the rules.

While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen
I've had this set up for a while. It's alright.
Some comments run off the right side of the screen, is there a setting that fixes this?
