I think their are two bridge crew members where it could have been interesting if either was gay.

The first is Tovok. Having a Vulcan show its illogical to deny attraction to the same sex would be fun. The downside here is how reserved the character is, so it likely wouldn’t come up all that often in the show.

The second is Harry Kim. It would have been fun for him to be interested in Tom but Tom has no interest in him that way. We’d get a few episodes, may even a season of Harry pining for him before giving up and ending up best friends. Then we get Tom trying to set Harry up with people.

I don’t even think either of these would have changed things much overall.

Out of curiosity why do you not want snaps? I consider myself a beginner with Linux and would love to know what makes you not want to use them.

I would imagine the recent xz backdoor discovery spooked them a bit. So now they are going to check things.

We shall see if it continues or not.

It will depend on how the game is packaged. On your two examples that let you play before finishing download the clients will have multiple downloads that will prioritize everything needed to play early content. This will allow you to play for a bit and by the time you are far enough into the game the rest should have downloaded.

I am not entirely sure how steam manages downloads but I suspect it compresses the whole game as a single download and decompresses and installs it once the download is done. This would mean that nothing is playable until the entire game has been downloaded. It’s something they could potentially change with their download process but not many developers would take advantage of it so it’s likely a low priority thing.

Vanilla milkshakes.

I think it’s more an issue of being able to know how difficult the encounter actually will be. That way it’s a conscious choice to throw an encounter at your party that will likely kill them.

The instance up and disappeared right after it’s admin said they were going g to defederate with another instance. There was no warning it was just gone the next day.

There is lots of speculation around it, but I think the admin got scared of the implication that their servers still held content from the other instance that was illegal in their country.

I also joined vlemmy.net and it came down between fmhy.ml and sh.itjust.works. Guess I got lucky!

Perhaps. But a rather large issue arises when your content is generated primarily by users who wouldn’t want to pay for a service.

There is also the issue where if you are having to pay to get around interaction limits is it really free speech? Or just limited to those that can afford to pay?
