My father was once falsely accused of being a bak'targ. Calling Gowron Law helped restore honour to my house. 35/9 great service.

Can't you chuck it back into a reactor and reuse it that way, to help reduce the radioactivity, and get more power back out of it?

This is Kirk and Riker slander.
Kirk doesn't deserve that kind of reputation, whereas Riker does.

Slight shame that the contractors didn't start from the end. It could have been funnier if they had taken off the "er" instead.

Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone's account, disabling their devices in the process.

Kbin has a report function, although I don't know if reports Federate. They might not.
Lemmy does do reporting, although it's not clear whether it's just moderators, or whether the admins will also receive them.

no headphone jack means you may need to purchase wireless headphones or earbuds and wireless earbuds don’t always have replaceable batteries
They're also more expensive, even if fairphone does offer their own headphones.
A cheap set of decent wired earphones is $10. $30 if you want something nice, like an IEM.
Bluetooth headphones don't tend to be quite as cheap, and are usually a good deal more.

Although you can't both charge the phone/use pripherals, like a keyboard/mouse and use headphones in that case, unless you're using one of the few phones with 2+ USB-C ports, and wireless charging can be cumbersome.

Especially since doing that will let you Federate through compromised comments, and possibly affect other instances using the Federation network, unless they're updated.

Yes. They got hacked. An admin account got compromised, and the hackers exploited a bug in Lemmy-UI (the web site) that let them do things like redirect users to another site that let them run Javscript. It seems to have let them collect some user tokens from accounts, and access an admin account that way.

Others did get hacked, or are vulnerable to it, but aren't big enough targets?
Beehaw is closed, so they would have had to have an existing account to exploit the same bug (or go through something like Kbin), and Lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.

Even TOS had a blatant anti-racism episode where the conclusion was very much explicitly "if we don't get along, we'll be left extinct on an empty, dead husk of a planet".

And if they could do that, someone else could use the same trick to do worse things, since they're just running bare JavaScript.

No. The existing Lemmy-Lite that was advertised on join-Lemmy.org appears to be massively out of date, and no longer actively maintained.
It was a bug with Lemmy-UI, so you might be able to get away using an app or site that isn't vulnerable. Whether that is Wefwef, one of the apps, like Jerboa, or something that is Federated, but not Lemmy, like Kbin, or Mastodon (things might be a bit clunky if you do, since Lemmy threads aren't well handled by Mastodon).

That sounds like a horrid decision. Imagine having to troubleshoot a relative's computer, which isn't working because their internet is down, or is too slow to support streaming Windows like that.
It just sounds like a nightmare all-round, both from a Microsoft Standpoint, since they would have to build all the hardware to support it, people who would have to troubleshoot an issue that might show up on either the local or networked version of Windows, but not both, and from a security standpoint, since it seems like it would make it a lot easier to just hijack the whole computer using that kind of mechanism, with the user being none the wiser, for the most part.

Have you never been to /r/SubSim2Interactive?
Although you have to wonder how much advertisers would actually pony up if most of the Reddit users weren't actual users at all. They want people to do the clicking, and if the users are all bots, they're likely not going to bother wasting their money at that point.

It's also accessible with <WinKey> + ;

Unless it's using the Registry for some config values.
I saw this [rant/complaint](https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/14buf69/i_really_miss_how_starships_used_to_be_portrayed/) over on Reddit, and it got me thinking a bit. We know that at least on paper, Federation starships are insanely fast and agile. Data has stated that [the Galaxy-class Enterprise was able to achieve Warp 9 from ](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy_class#Propulsion_systems), and some ships, like the Nebula class, don't seem to use impulse engines at all, favouring the warp engine for sublight speed usage at all. Despite that, we also know that impulse engines aren't simple thrusters, and are able to move the ship in a way not directly in line with the output thrust ([Relics](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Relics_(episode))), and from the same episode, we also know that smaller ships, like the Jenolan, will still run rings around ships like the Enterprise, even though it is nearly a full century out of date. However, from what the show itself portrays, the ships tend to be fairly slow and sluggish when in combat, sedately drifting along the battlefield, while weapons fire goes every which way. The most recent and active thing we've seen a big starship do is maybe the fighter run in Picard. In my opinion, by trying to keep to the slow and seemingly logical expectations for starships to be slow, hulking metal structures that slowly fly around shooting each other, Star Trek ends up underselling what Federation starships are able to do. They would be more realistically portrayed flitting about the battlefield like dragonflies, instead of being like "real boats" today, that have more of a sense of mass. It seems wildly unintuitive, but it would also help show Federation propulsion technology being more advanced than what they are now. Starships can instantly stop and reverse course, or move in ways that would be impossible with modern technology, and the show not showing ships capable of doing just that might be to its detriment.
If you go onto your user profile page, and scroll all the way to the right, there is a section called "reputation". What is it, and how does it work? Is it like the "karma" system that Reddit uses?
Is there a way to see what magazines/communities we're subscribed to? I know there's /sub, but that just shows the posts, rather than the communities themselves.
