The Klingon boy band made the final cut, thankfully. However, they shot two versions of the Klingons, led by Bruce Horak as the Klingon captain. The second was opera. Ultimately, the opera take felt too close to the other singing. Luckily, the Klingon boy band won.

Star Trek 4 - Everything You Need To Know (www.looper.com)

J.J. Abrams rebooted the “Star Trek” franchise in 2009, and since then, the three films in the new Kelvin timeline have been a smashing success. Altogether, the first “Trek” reboot, 2013’s “Star Trek Into Darkness,” and 2016’s “Star Trek Beyond” have grossed more than a billion dollars at the global box...

Correction: Uhura*

That’s a lot of words just to say “we know nothing”.

Just to clear something up, CalcKey is now known as Firefish(.social) and that’s run by a completely different person.

alex ,

.world is a firefish instance. not the main firefish instance (which is .social).

so when I said, “it’s not the same person running it” - the flagship instance, if you will, is .social. many of the main people coding it are on .social (afaik). .world is just another instance.

that was i meant, if i need to clarify : the main main people coding-wise are not the same. the flagship instance (which is not .world) is not run by the same people as the mastodon flagship instance.

“the flagship instance” (if you will) of Mastodon is mastodon.social. not run by the same people who run firefish.social. they are not the same thing, run by the same people.

that’s what I was getting at. i guess I only make sense to myself.

Short answer: No.

tl;dr answer: There’s no tagging function in place unless you manually tag them using markdown, and that still wouldn’t notify them. That would be a bandaid solution at best.

alex ,

crickets Nope. Not wrong.

It’s not like I didn’t understand what he said (I completely understand what was said - that is not the problem), I misread the issue I linked to.

My comment has since been edited.

alex ,

it works if you comment.

like this - now it shows up in your notifs.

there’s no actual tagging function, though.

Just a suggestion, you might want to insert the word “allegedly” somewhere in there because Meta is refuting that assertion.

“To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing” - Andy Stone, Meta’s communications director

edit: yes I know that doesn’t preclude the possibility of Meta hiring former Twitter employees and not making them part of the Threads team.

alex ,

You could’ve ended that sentence with another word and it would still be accurate.

And that’s all I’m sayin’.

How many people here have actually used XMPP?

With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...

alex ,

I still use it with a couple of friends on a private server.
