@nerthos I wouldnt go that far, but it was one of the good ones. TNG will always be best IMO :)

Good news fellow members. I just finished upgrading the qoto source varient to pull in Mastodon upstream changes. The code base in github for qoto now has all the 2.7.0 changes incorporated while keeping the qoto modifications in tact.

The system admin team will now begin working on the upgrade itself. If all goes well we should be fully up to date in a day or two.

@kit I think that describes voyager as a whole really. People didnt like it much at first but now people seem to see it as a decent series.

@kit Was he hated on? I think he did a great job in that role.

The best, deepest, dialogues they ever had on Star Trek: Voyager.

Janeway: Let me ask you something. If you were something other than a human being, if you were a different kind of animal... If you were a small bird, a sparrow - what would your world be like?

da Vinci: I should make my home in a tree, in the branch of an elm. I should hunt insects for food, straw for my nest, and in the springtime, I should sing for a companion.

Janeway: And you would know nothing of the politics of Florence - the cutting of marble or mathematics.

da Vinci: Of course not.

Janeway: But why not?

da Vinci: My mind would be too small.

Janeway: As a sparrow, your mind would be too small, even with the best of teachers?

da Vinci: If Aristotle himself were to perch on my branch and lecture till he... fell off from exhaustion - still the limits of my mind would prevent me from understanding.

Janeway: And as a man, can you accept that there may be certain realities beyond the limits of your comprehension?

da Vinci: If I could not accept that... then I would be a fool.

@freemo That's fucking awesome.

I wrote this about two years back .. bit more long winded, but I think it kinda gets to the same point .. that we're not in a race to the bottom. It's not a contest of 'who is worse off'

Perfectly sums up the lesson the vast majority of people on the left end of the political spectrum in english speaking countries desperately need to learn.

@dx Yea it is repeating the message now, its a spam bot.. time to block it from my instance.

@dx Some interjected article about prostitutes posted as a comment by @ClearHeaven

@dx I am told however there are other Milka products there.

@ClearHeaven Umm is that spam, why is that directed at me.

Also there is an error in that post. It seems to assert incorrectly that you pay more for a prostitute than you would for a normal woman. From I've done the math, nothing could be further from the truth.

@dx

@dx I just asked all my dutch friends and they never saw it in the netherlands before.

There is a sort of beauty in the order and chaos of a prototype design.

Just finished soldering together this frequency counter frontend.

Hello world! I am a software developer - some of my interests include: computer science, cyber security (and the right to privacy), space program, futurology, mind-mapping, ethical thinking, brainstorming, minimalism, tiny living, and being respectful with everyone and trying to listen and understand. I'm pretty good at seeing "both sides of an argument" and I enjoy discourse (mostly enjoy listening to intelligent people talking amongst each other) I'm quite keen on privacy and I am passionately in love with this mastadon federated social media concept. I am extremely excited to be here and looking forward to meeting many of you and hearing what you have to say!

@mikelga Of course he was ellected democratically. Even if the russians had a hand all the evidence suggests it was mostly through introducing memes and other BS, but no indication they actually hacked the election and changed the vote count directly.

No sadly americans really are stupid enough to want to elect people like Trump, or just as bad, Hillary.

Why is it whenever Trump talks it looks like he is sucking a ghost dick?
