Value Subtracted
Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
I watched this last night - I have to admit, when I watched the “Unification” short, one of the first things I thought about was Shatner having lost touch with Nimoy prior to Nimoy’s death - he recounts (his side of) that story here.
I think it’s clear at this point that municipal funding regulations need to be completely renegotiated, but I doubt the political will is there.
Good news - after getting real bad today (okay, that part’s not good news), it looks like we’ve fixed federation with lemmy.world and a number of other instances. Things should be within normal parameters.
More specifically, federation from us to lemmy.world has a delay of about 57 seconds, while federation from lemmy.world to us is about 1.7 hours (this is admittedly not ideal, but also not that unusual).
This was another decent episode. I have to say, though, I don’t think this season is “hitting” for me quite as much as past seasons.
We (and other instances) do tend to have issues with lemmy.world from time to time - I think it’s a combination of their sheer size, and some geographical quirks that can slow things down.
Right now, it looks like federation from them to us is fine, but content from us to them is taking about 19 hours to go through.
I can look into this, but there’s a high chance that we’ll have to just wait for it to settle down.
Does it get any better than Dadmiral Vance?
