7 euros for 20gb of data? I’m paying close to $30 a month for 1 gig and if I cross that the bill shoots up to $40 Fucking American Capitalism.

Same but only because I dual boot Windows and was too lazy to setup grub or systemd-boot the day I installed Linux on my new setup.

The way they decided to dice up the source material for GoT even before they ran out of books was the most jarring thing about reading that series. George gave them a meticulously detailed account of things and they tweaked it a lot. At least that series was grounded in historical fantasy. So there was rules that needed to be followed and George was there to guide them. If GRRM wasnt there from the start they could have gone off the rails from the beginning.

The Three Body Problem is way more abstract idea wise and extremely dry in terms of character interaction. And is Liu gonna be able to help them to steer the ship the same way GRRM did? I don’t think so. Right off the bat these guys are being left to their own devices for a lot of this story. I read an interview where they mentioned changing the story to fit a wider audience. And looking at the two trailers, I already noticed major changes that just don’t make sense. Skepticism is gonna be at an all time high for me.

I watched and loved GoT just as much as anybody. I read the books and quickly figured out why they took precedent over the show, even for the good years. I’ve already read Three Body Problem. On my first read through I thought this was the greatest scifi trilogy ever written. I’m not ready for someone to come and make a shitty TV adaptation of it. Especially those two.

The Three Body Problem - Humans and aliens engage in a technological arms race for survival. There are times where the humans are a weaker feeble species, but there are also times where humans one up the aliens in ways they couldn’t have forseen. It’s a great back and forth that puts humanity on a path for stellar exploration and survival all in one moment.

You need nuts/seeds. Peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, pistachios. Any high fiber nut and seed will do. If you can get it in bulk, the better. Like 10lbs should last you for well beyond 10 days. But if you need to shit your brains out, well, uh. There it is.

What people like is having one unified account access different platforms and communities. As far as I understand Lemmy right now, it provides the opposite – a bunch of somewhat unified communities where you have to create different accounts in order to interact with each individual instance.

I think what’s confusing people is they think they can use lemmy with mastodon with pixelfed with one account. That’s not necessarily the case. Lemmy is your reddit replacement. Mastodon is Twitter. Pixelfed is instagram. You sign up for lemmy.world and you can use every lemmy connected server. Within each server is it’s own version of reddit. It’s really just adding a server choice on top of reddit/twitter/instagram. You gotta hope the server you’re on doesn’t fail and go away, because you could potentially lose everything on that server. But the whole thing doesn’t come crashing down like a centralized service like Reddit just did. There’s a risk associated with trusting a random server host as opposed to a big corp like reddit, but that’s the fun part of trying to get away from big corp owned internet services.

We’re in the wild west phase of testing new technology so there’s gonna be hiccups and failures. But the bones seem solid so far. We gotta give it time to improve. Much like Reddit was built by the community, moving over to the fedirverse means the same thing and we’re essentially starting over.
