lwaxana_katana , to startrek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

This was definitely my favourite episode of the season, and possibly of the series. I thought Kirk was badly cast, but actually after seeing him in this episode, I get it. He is not our Kirk, but he actually does bring something very Kirk-ish to the role that I hadn't appreciated previously.

arkclr ,

That is an excellent way of stating it, re Kirk. He wasn't doing it for me, and I thought I had it figured. He looks like Pine, who tried to mimic Shatner's mannerisms, but didn't really deliver the Shatnerisms. Here I was able to accept him as his own thing, and it was fine.

NuPNuA ,

He felt more like TOS Kirk than movie and pop culture Kirk.

tburkhol , to homeassistant in Debating between Home Assistant OS or Docker for Raspberry Pi 4

I have HA running in docker on a Pi 3 and Z-wave JS running in another on the same Pi. Added a purpleair integration for outdoor air quality, national weather service, some local sensors, and sql to get data from another node. People have made me paranoid about SD card failures, so I regularly image it to my main server. I mostly use HA to visualize environmental data, but it also runs the lights in a hydroponic farm and the house during vacations, via z-wave outlets. Have not tried to integrate it with google or amazon.

The only inconveniences I’ve found with docker is that you can’t restart HA from its web interface and, if you update regularly, old images quickly fill a smaller card, so you have to remember to purge.

notvans ,

It’s now possible to restart HA from the web interface. P

tburkhol ,

I pulled the latest HA version based on you comment in this old thread, and you’re right! There is a restart button now. Thanks.

For me it is lack of commercial interests (ads hidden in post), lack of bots, and lack of "funny meme and jokes’ posts.

lack of "funny meme and jokes’ posts

This is it for me. The Pavlovian posting and upvoting of shitty jokes in every. single. thread. I haven’t bothered with reddit’s comment section in years because of it. Here, the comments so far seem chill and appropriate for the posts.

JesusTheCarpenter , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is good because it’s good

I know we are encouraged to create content on Lemmy… But based on the quality of your post and the effort I think we will be better off if you continue only lurking.

jegerlatvisk OP ,

Haha, the only reason I made this post is because of the tons of others saying “lemmy is good because xx”, not gonna lie they are kinda annoying

Wow. Friday is here and my list of things to do is getting smaller. Just the one thing scheduled in the calendar meeting wise, but when I got in this morning there has been a massive failure at one location that I have to deal with as top priority.

Put everything in place and all of a sudden I'm hit with the sleepies as a result of our coffee beans running out and there not being enough for my normal IV drip of coffee that would last me the day.

On Sunday I've made a plan to do a bunch of snacky cooking while my wife takes the son to the park for a few ours. By the time they're back I'm hoping to have a smorgasboard of delights for us to kill off the evening with a movie. Maybe OG Space Jam? Other suggestions appropriate for a 3-4 year old are welcome.

Noit ,

I’ve a two year old who isn’t really up to whole films yet, but she really vibed with the 2015 Peanuts movie. It’s a series of vignettes as much as a whole story, so her attention span wasn’t too tested and she could do some colouring or whatever and not miss out.

What do you mean? I’m 16/f/cali

loffiz , to gaming in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread

Death’s Door 19.5€ → 7.8€ It’s a very cozy game but still fun mechanics and adventurous. Kinda similar to Hyperpixel in feels. Spent 3 days while sick playing from the sofa, enjoyed every bit.

shapesandstuff ,

Death's door is also on Gamepass!
Very cute game, not as easy as it's cutesy makeup might have people think

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot , to retrogaming in Good PS1 games that weren't made in Japan?

Soul Reaver. The Colony Wars trilogy.

nxtequal , to gaming in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread

A Hat in Time: 50% off at £12. A really cute 3D platformer.

Wobbledogs: 40% off at £10. Looks and plays like a pet simulator but is almost more about genetics and seeing what kind of bizarre "dogs" you can create.

Let's Build a Zoo: 45% £9. I've seen this described as similar to a Bullfrog game (think Theme Hospital) and that's good way to put it. It's a zoo simulator, but full of silly humour and things you can do, like butcher your animals for meat. A big feature of the game is breeding, including crossbreeding animals to create hybrids like a snake/pig monster.

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper: 80% at £2. It's an old game and the dating shows, and nor is it a brilliant masterpiece of writing (it's Sherlock investigating Jack the Ripper after all) but it does scratch the detective game itch. It's fun to explore London as it was in Sherlock's day, and it does provide its own theory as to who Jack the Ripper was, as well as laying out the events in a way that are much easier to follow than reading a book. I'd recommend it for true crime and mystery fans and I look forward to the other games in the series.

My picks for some (actually) hidden gems :)

dedido , to ukcasual in Friday Thread

Typical Friday:
2 Pints of Stella
Packet of Scamp Fries
2 Pints of Stella
Bucket of jellied eels
2 Pints of Stella
Fight barman and anybody else that wants some!
Finish off with 2 Pints of Stella

Then I have to head to work for my evening shift as a Reddit Mod

Gotta keep it sensible before work, I respect your self control

Variden3301 , to books in What book did you push through despite wanting to put it down/rage quit/bail on?

Fahrenheit 451 but I wanted to put it down because of the bad translation. I switched to reading it in English and everything went smoothly after that.

elboyoloco , to android in What's your lemmy app of choice?
@elboyoloco@lemmy.world avatar

Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.

RestrictedAccount , to mildlyinfuriating in Probably a controversial topic, but A.I and how I feel corporate would abuse it

The only problem with holding AI to the same standards as humans is that we don’t seem to hold humans to ethical standards.

Atom , to books in What book did you push through despite wanting to put it down/rage quit/bail on?

The Bible was a difficult read for me. I pushed through just because I wanted to have at least read it when using it’s words to contradict Supply-Side Christians.
