I didn't realize the Good Decider had logged on. How nice to have you.

Sure, if it's not what you want out of a game, I'm not going to argue with that.

But it's really the same game that it's always been.

I agree that it's dated (the 14-year anniversary event started today), but I wouldn't say it's on life support - the content release schedule is pretty much the same as it ever was.

I rarely have server connection issues like those any more - if anything, stuttering from the graphical effects are the bigger bottleneck.

Huh...yeah, if a basic "press 'F'" doesn't work, something ain't right.

Sure - one of our community members even put together a guide for new players.

I think most people would agree that the space combat is the games biggest strength.

The TNG Technical Manual has another line that I think supports this general idea:

The combination of forces produced within the warp engine core and the flow of space and subspace around the vessel created the particular engineering solution to the problem of faster-than-light travel.

This seems to support the notion that subspace itself is bleeding into real space around the ship, at least to a degree.

Wait, people on the internet can ask each other about those opinions in an attempt to gain greater understanding of them?!

Really? Based on what? I've always thought they were one of the healthiest couples of the franchise.

I don't have the plaque, but would a holder for decorative plates do the trick?

Unfortunately, by season four Discovery was just going with "Spaceship".

Pretty harsh to call Tuvok "chaff" - the man's chief of security!

With the imminent return of Prodigy, it's time to figure out where it will be found.

"That's easy," I hear you say. "Netflix!"

But we all know it's never that easy, don't we? Here's what we know so far:


Canada: CTV.ca and the CTV App.

France: France Télévisions channels and Okoo.

Iceland: Sjonvarp Simans Premium.

The Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Central and Eastern Europe: SkyShowtime.

Everywhere else: Netflix, I guess?

When in doubt, this link will hopefully lead you to accurate information.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

Last Friday we finally released Lemmy 0.19.0, after a long development time and extensive bug fixing. Read the announcement to find out about the major changes. A few days later on Wednesday we had to publish 0.19.1 to fix a few more bugs that slipped through.

@phiresky fixed the critical bug with outgoing federation in 0.19. Previously he fixed an authentication bug in lemmy-ui which was blocking the 0.19 release.

@dessalines fixed the broken logic for "hide read posts". He also fixed a problem with email login being case sensitive

@nutomic reenabled pushing to crates.io so Rust developers can easily interact with Lemmy. He also made performance optimizations for /api/v3/site and the optimized the Activitypub context sent by Lemmy, reducing the database size and the amount of data sent between instances. He fixed various tests to prevent random failures in continuous integration 1 2

@dullbananas has long been busy improving the database queries for Lemmy, such as fixing a bug in the way different posts sorts are combined, and improving the test cases.

This is our last update for 2023. It was a very busy year for Lemmy, and it looks like 2024 might have even more changes in store. So lets enjoy these holidays, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.
