A lot of people did jump to Mastodon, and apparently it had had another large influx of users yesterday after all the Twitter shenanigans. Not everyone stays though, obviously.

I think part of the issue some have with Mastodon is the lack of Twitter’s algorithm. It’s absolutely true to say it’s harder to find people and topics to follow on Mastodon for the simple reason that you’re not getting anything shoved in your face, which is a massive plus point for many (myself included) but can also make it appear initially less appealing.

Thanks for the recommendation. This is excellent, and so far it works brilliantly for a a PWA.

I loved season 3 of Enterprise, and while I didn’t think as highly of 4 as some, it was still a decent show at that point. It was a shame it was cancelled.

I’m not sure there’s much reason to pick up where the show left off though, unless it’s for a one off limited series covering the Romulan War or something. Strange New Worlds is doing the regular Star Trek thing and doing it well, so it would need to be something that really justified returning to the setting.

If I could wipe Enterprise from history and start over, I think I’d have liked it to lean more into the low tech stuff and make that the hook. The show very quickly seemed to drop that side of things, and even early on it mostly just replaced later Trek stuff with other stuff that did the same job. Polarised hull playing replaced shields, lasers replaced phasers etc. They even had a transporter. I’d like to see humanity taking its first steps to the stars without any of that stuff.

That looks rather nice. My Pixel 6 should be good for a few years yet, but I’d like to think my next phone will be a Fairphone if they keep improving like this.

I’ve always wanted to try a farming sim. I think I own two versions of Stardew Valley but haven’t played either of them!

I know if I do get into one it will be game over for any other games.

I think the bubble has certainly burst. COVID resulted in loads of new consumer investers, and the visibility of crypto had never been higher. Exchanges were being advertised by major celebrities on Superbowl ads!

Then the market crashed, and all those investers realised what a mistake they’d made. I don’t think it’s a mistake many will make twice.

It was such a bizarre time, with major governments talking about minting their own NFTs or even their own digital currencies. That all seems to have quietly gone away now, thankfully.
