  • almost identical in topic order, format and words

    Apparently, that specific conversation was in Mandarin, and Steve was the only member of the media present who spoke Mandarin. I’m pretty sure that appending a simple “thank you Steve from Gamers Nexus for translating” would’ve been sufficient, especially since Linus wants to look like they’re such good buddies.






  • “Ty and That Guy” - Ty Franck (one of the writers of The Expanse books) and Wes Chatham (actor of Amos Burton on the show) talk about sci-fi.

    “SPINES” - supernatural fiction about an amnesiac tracking down broken people with paranormal abilities, written in an audio diary format. It gets a little gay.

    “The White Vault” - supernatural fiction about a multinational team that travels to Svalbard to recover a lost expedition and encounters a monster.

    I think that link does the same as the direct link icon with the fediverse icon on Lemmy. I can’t figure out the mechanism it uses, though. The HTTP request is just empty and sh.itjust.works is displayed immediately. I expected at least a 301 redirect or a script to execute location.replace() but I can’t see anything.

    As for the image, the embed mechanism is probably different on Mastodon and doesn’t translate at the moment. (I don’t even know if they support standard Markdown let alone the Lemmy flavor)

    Let me see…

    Looks like that would be a mixed result. Still, I commend the team behind the interface for getting federation to work.

    Let’s not pass judgment on an entire nationality based on the crimes of their head of state and his hand-picked government officials. Otherwise I’d have to ask you if you’re ok with Americans, Chinese, Koreans, et cetera flooding in, by the same standard. Double edged sword and all.

    If you mean “Russians” as in “Russian-speaking monolingual”… that would be a valid point. I’d like to keep the community as primarily English, but might not be able to keep foreign language posts and comments out. I’ll have to think about it, and I’m open to input regarding languages.
