Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is a pretty great community if you’re into movies and tv. It’s where a lot of the regulars from moviesandtv@lemmy.film went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.

I buy nearly everything generic but generic Band-Aids have terrible adhesive so I always buy name brand.

Yeah, this is a case of a brand that’s been subject to trademark genericization where the knock-offs and generic products genuinely aren’t as good.

Yep, but jeez, Magazine is a pretty terrible name for what it’s attempting to describe… Don’t get me wrong, they can call their communities whatever the hell they want but it feels like they’re bending over backwards to avoid saying ‘community’ only to settle on a name that doesn’t even make sense. Magazines are something meant to be consumed, they’re a one way street. Communities on the other hand are a place where you’re ideally both reading and contributing. Lemmy/kbin doesn’t work without active users contributing content and joining discussions. At least reddit’s jargon had some logic to it reddit -> subreddit aka sub-community on reddit.

I hadn’t considered that but if you think that’s a realistic possibility then I wouldn’t have an issue resettling on lemm.ee. Either option would be fine. I mostly suggested .pub because I know the infosec family of instances are well run and dependable.

Yeah, sure. I’d be happy to help out.

I think Lemm.ee would be a fine alternative but infosec.pub may be worth considering too. The owner/admin runs multiple instances across the range of fediverse services (including the popular infosec.exchange mastodon server) so I think the risk of it abruptly shutting down is extremely low.

Oh damn, did lemmy.film shut down? That’s a major bummer. I really liked the Movies and TV community.

As Lemmyworld and lemmy.ml already have most of the active communities, I thought it would be interesting to have this one (maybe two, one for movies, one for TV) on lemm.ee ?

That’s exactly why I chose to post articles in moviesandtv@lemmy.film over the movies/tv communities on lemmy.world. I try to support communities in smaller instances by posting relevant content but I guess this is just an inherent risk of lemmy.

I love it when a movie about hackers shows that the good guys get around town on rollerblades whereas the bad guy rides a skateboard. That way the audience clearly understands that he’s evil.

Unfortunately it’s only been done once, in the 1995 classic film “Hackers.”

Certainly not the Event Horizon 😈

“I’ll take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I’m satisfied she’s vaporized. Fuck this ship!”

What if it had continued?

Alexandrite is everything the Reddit desktop redesign should’ve been. How they managed to fuck that up is beyond me.
