The wildest part about this poll is that it was only shared to Star Wars sites

Yes exactly, you can walk up to anyone in a Star Trek shirt and by simply saying the phrase "favorite captain?" you'll probably have a new friend two hours later.

LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next?

Depends on what "percentage of Lemmy" means, but they have probably something like 20% of active users. Most of their communities have analogues elsewhere.

I do think that as Lemmy grows the idea of a "general purpose instance" will go away and online communities will form their own instances.

Google Antigravity falls to Earth under compute burden

Uber famously did the exact same thing (underpriced it's service to gain monopoly status), one big difference here is that Uber's product actually did what it said on the tin.

Karim Diané Gets Support From George Takei For Playing Star Trek’s First Gay Klingon

“I genuinely cannot believe that a gay character on a TV show in 2026 can cause this much commotion. Y’all, like, I thought… I don’t know what I thought. Like, y’all gotta understand, I live in New York City, right? So you could be purple, in Brooklyn, and nobody cares. Nobody gives a ****. You know what I mean? So, like, when I come to the internet, and I see, like, all of these feathers being ruffled… it’s jarring, but, nevertheless, I guess it signals that there’s more work to do, so, yeah, uh, anyways, let’s talk about Kyle kissing Jay-Den in episode seven, y’all.”

😂 Gene protect this man

Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't.

I believe it was supposed to monitor your jellyfin library and look for potential upgrades.

Donald Trump may have called into C-SPAN under a pseudonym to complain about the Supreme Court

The chances of it being Trump himself are slim, but it was an excellent impression of Trump trying to slightly change his voice.

Dude, Where Is My Beer? is not as fun as it sounds

An original personal game review? Where am I? Some kind of social media platform created to facilitate human interaction?

Thanks OP!

You want a place full of radicals that other people can't defederate from? What you want is Twitter.

Goldman Sachs has launched an "S&P ex-AI" index that tracks the S&P 500 stocks not related to AI, offering investors a way to "hedge their exposure to the AI trade.

I'm surprised to see this community of all places pushing back on the idea that LLM companies are in a financial bubble.

Maybe things have improved but the last time I tried the Home Assistant er- assistant, it was garbage at anything other than the most basic commands given perfectly.
