I started my save within an hour of the expedition going live. And spawned in a storm, with multiple hostile critters. I died twice in two minutes, deleted the cursed save, and tried again. Did better, but fell into a cave system killing critters (with a mining laser), and got lost… before I could build the Terrain Manipulator. After 20 minutes, I deleted the cursed save, and started again. Third time's the charm! Much better start, even grabbed some Storm Crystals for later right at the start.
Needed to get some work done, but I've gotten a couple of hours in since yesterday, steady progress, having fun stumbling around, but I can see I'm going to get stuck looking for Crystal Sulphide. I don't think I'm anywhere near the ocean, although I see 3 underwater creatures on this world so there must be some somewhere. I've got the Minotaur built, but that doesn't seem the best way to search for ocean, it's a little slow. If only I had a spaceship… oh wait, that's what the Crystal Sulphide's for.
Also, got killed again, by one of those evil teddy bears that jumped me while I was killing a couple of the crystal spider dudes. Was close to my base, but still! Embarrassing.
I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting by "Values of the Fediverse", but I was pleasantly surprised! It focuses on what over the decades seem to be the core values of Open Source software movements, such as openness, independence, and freedom to use the software how you choose to use it. Just applied to the concept of social media. Which makes sense.
My main home account is on Lemmy.ca not Lemmy.ml ( or another Lemmy instance) because that is how I've chosen to associate, and I can. And I could spin up my own instance, and federate or de-federate with whomever I choose.
This isn't a novel concept, OpenSource.com has a page on "The Open Source Way" which espouses transparency, collaboration, "Release early and often", inclusive meritocracy, and community. I remember reading "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" back in the day, and Eric Raymond seemed to extrapolate several values or principle from the open source model.
The free software movement does implicitly have positions on "political" topics. Right to repair, DRM, and privacy come to mind immediately. These shouldn't be seen as being "Left" or "Right",
