Regardless of what any of the Klingons in this thread claim, I suggest following S.P.O.C.K.'s advice - never trust a Klingon.

Agreed. I’d also like to add that intelligence != wisdom != experience, and you need all three to achieve real understanding.

It’s been depreciating at a pretty constant rate. I’d wait to invest until it’s under $1.

TIL Mozilla has a mastodon server. Have an upvote.

@inkican Rockin’ - I figure I’ll never get around to writing out the idea, and certainly not well, so why not toss it back to the guy who inspired it.

Working title: Dr. Doomlittle

ba boom boom tish

And I’m outta here… thanks everyone, and try the fish!

@inkican Damn - wish I had seen this sooner. I loved the Uplift War and the Postman - if you’re still in contact, I be curious if he ever thought about combining the two types of novels.

My particular premise based on this idea (and inspired by both of Brin’s works) - AI enhanced neurosurgical nanobots escape into wild species. Following their programming for human cybernetic enhancement, they integrate and enhance the language centers of each infected species’ brain, equipping them with wifi to allow them to communicate with each other, and giving them access to the internet.

No one notices at first, but it all goes to hell once the rats learn how to code.

The basic plot is your standard apocalyptic polka, with bits of War with the Newts - the potential for bionic beavers to get busy in this scenario cannot be ignored. Our protagonist is tasked with traveling across America a century after the infection started, in landscape full of new intelligent species now just as technically adept as humans once were at the height of their civilization.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Kbin is the Jamaica of the Fediverse, a land of special people where champions grow.

This article stinks of an agenda. The author goes out of their way not to mention the term Fediverse (pluriverse? wtf is that?), and they clearly haven’t done their due diligence on Activity Pub. Either they skimped on the research or this article was heavily edited afterwards to remove any concept of the Fediverse being a viable alternative to centralized platforms. Doesn’t surprise me coming from Business Insider.

That being said, the overall dynamic the article speaks to is valid, as is the discussion it engenders, so have an upvote despite my gripes with the writing.

Now that’s just wrong. Fungoidaphobia and the resulting discrimination against hybrid lifeforms is a real problem, even in today’s enlightened Federation, and you should have never suffered empty birthdays as a result.

Family over fungus, I always say. But family is where you find it, and seeing as I just happened to be passing through Orion space on my way here, here’s a keg of Klingon blood wine and a barrel of Andorian ale for the party, that is if you don’t mind a bit of pirate contraband to liven things up a bit…

Happy Birthday! I didn’t get you anything, but the internet archive did:

• Star Trek - The Complete Original Series

• Wrath of Khan

• Star Trek the Motion Picture Comic #79

Some of my favs in this category:

• They Live
• District 9
• Alien Nation
• Robocop
• Alphaville (have to hat tip @livus for introducing me to that one)
• Enemy Mine - this one might not exactly qualify, as it starts as high action scifi on an alien planet, but it transitions into a very different kind of story by the end. Dennis Quaid’s best performance too, imho, and Lou Gosset Jr is exceptional in one of the weirdest roles of his career.

Awesome - thanks!

Thanks much! That fixed it for the 13thFloor. FYI, looks like @scifi is still blocked, and they’re generally pretty cool without spam issues.

Thanks for the update. I’m still getting the following error across multiple browsers when I hit https://lemmy.world/c/13thFloor@kbin.social:

Error!
There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn’t work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.

Hoping it gets resolved with the update - was worried we’d screwed something up and gotten on your removed list.

Hi - got a note from a user that @13thFloor isn’t federated over there any more as of yesterday. Looks like @scifi, modded by @inkican, was as well. Was there a reason these communities were defederated?
