mdhughes, in Is it worth to read Star Wars novels?
@mdhughes@lemmy.ml avatar

Alan Dean Foster’s Splinter of the Mind’s Eye was the original sequel, before they had budget. The Brian Daley Han Solo books, L. Neil Smith’s Lando Calrissian books, and Mike Stackpole’s X-Wing books, are all pretty good. Daniel Keys Moran of The Long Run and more recently AI War/Time War fame, wrote a few short stories.

Almost everything else I ever even read a couple pages of was so awful I threw it down. These were all written long before Disney got hold of it, and nobody really cared much about canon. Modern stuff would be corporate pablum.

Jerusalemspiderman, in should we be worried about powers-moderators/users?
@Jerusalemspiderman@lemdro.id avatar

It’s impossible here in any broad way. If an admin allowed it to go too far, they end up running off users, and possibly end up defederated if it gets really crazy.

There’s already duplicates of half the c/s out there, particularly among the reddit copies.

You might think that power admins could be the equivalent problem, but we’ve already seen problematic instances be defederated widely.

Pretty much every instance out there right now that has enough users to have power mods already has specific rules against going bonkers with moderation.

It’s a different system, a different culture, and the ultimate control is decentralized and distributed.

About the only people that could maybe upend that are the lemmy devs themselves, and it isn’t like lemmy is impossible to fork. I couldn’t do it, but there’s plenty of folks that can. And, let’s be real, those guys may be on the radical end of their political beliefs, but everything they’ve done so far points to them handling the project in a very socialist way. They could have forced the entire thing into an echo chamber instead of making it open source. They could have built in controls that would give them the ability to screw with instances remotely, but didn’t.

So, nah, power mods aren’t going to be a thing on lemmt any time soon. When it does happen, it’ll be on single instances and rapidly handled.

@dunloap

That does mean we need many instances, and always be creating new ones. We should never settle on one instance. There should always be alternative versions of each sub/community/magazine, just in case power mods become insane at one of them.

Exactly :)

boatswain, in During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

I was just in Iceland for a week or so. Restaurants were a bit on the expensive side coming from the US, but not terrible. Cheap sandwiches abound there, though: at most gas stations or the supermarkets I could get a premade sandwich for $4 US or so. I largely did day tours as well, and all the ones I went on stopped at a couple of gas stations through the day for pit stops and food, and the sandwich selection was adequate. Personally,I wouldn’t stress too much.

Dinodicchellathicc,

$4 for a gas station sandwich is wild. I live in CA and the most i ever see is $3 for a BigAz burger.

nigelinux,

Good to know, at least there are more affordable choices should we prefer not to cook or prepare anything.

railsdev,

How about vegan options? Haha. Curious because I’d love to travel there and am currently spoiled here in Southern California.

boatswain,

Good question; I’m afraid I didn’t really keep track of those. I know I saw signs for vegan food several times, though.

Icarus, in What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?
Supermuff, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Syudagye, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

kresten, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?

Jensen’s Bøfhus

wolfpack86,

Ellers tak.

kresten,

Hvad er din foretrukne da?

wolfpack86,

Generalt synes jeg at bøfhuse i Danmark er bare okay.

dQw4w9WgXcQ, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Kerbal Space Program (not 2) has around 300 hours on my steam account. I have played around equally much on another account. KSP2 is painful to see perform so badly.

Platomus, (edited ) in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

When I was a teen I worked as a waiter at a dirty smokehouse/bbq place.

One of the kitchen staff there would make sexual comments about me. Say things like “You’re lucky you look good because you’re so stupid.” And would ask what kind of underwear I was wearing.

I told my parents about it, and the advice they gave me was “Deal with it. You need a job.”

Within a month that kitchen staff member had started to grab me and sexually assaulted me.

I don’t talk to my parents anymore.

axolittl,

Your parents are awful. You deserve so much better.

mathemachristian,

“Deal with it. You need a job.”

WTAF? How can someone be so blase about their child being sexually harrassed?

theolodger, in Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion?

Love the NL4 connector’s locking system! Most things with a small twist to lock are nice…

WastedJobe,

FUCK yes, so satisfying

Norspang, in What series did you rewatch most often?

I have watched the Owl House 4 times since that last season ended late last year

jeena, in Any good macro/keybind software for linux with wayland?
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

tube.jeena.net/w/nhWrNZpPG5ribE7MYYh3TF This is how I do it for OBS in GNOME and Wayland.

FlashPossum, in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

Life is like a long running tv show. Some previous seasons were awesome. This one sucks but I have to stay around to find out what happens next.
Doesn’t matter how bad it currently is, the curiosity to see which twist it pulls next is stronger.

SmellyNinja, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?
@SmellyNinja@lemmy.world avatar

Very specific to Hawaii but- Zippy’s.

ohlaph,

Haha.

jordanlund, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

Ezell’s Chicken, but only in Seattle and Beaverton, OR.

ohlaph,

That 3.8 rating had me a bit worried to try them.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

The chicken is amazing, but there are issues with the original owner and a contentious lawsuit. :(

seattlerefined.com/…/pickin-chicken-ezells-vs-hea…

Heaven Sent might be better, but they also aren’t down here in Oregon yet. :)

scaramantulatte,

There’s one in Tacoma as well, it’s pretty good!
