What's the best and most secure way to take a fragment of html from one document and add it to another html document with Javascript? in c/webdev@programming.dev
[–] jaredwhite@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I disagree. The fundamentals of the web specs are more important than ever, and many projects don't even need a frontend framework.

Strange New Worlds 2x08 was one of the best Star Trek episodes ever in c/startrek@startrek.website
[–] jaredwhite@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

This episode knocked it out of the park. In a season that's been a wee bit hit and miss IMHO (compared to S1), seeing such depth and pathos in a story which could have been handled in a heavy-handed way otherwise, well it's very satisfying.

Andrew Probert: two Enterprises and a DeLorean in the résumé (web.archive.org)
 

My two favorite "vehicles" in all of fandom are the Enterprise-D and the BTTF DeLorean. And what do you know, Andrew Probert had a significant hand in designing both, as well as the first updated Enterprise in Star Trek: TMP. Here's a cool interview with Andrew from back in 2001.

Fan reaction to the reveal of the Enterprise-D in c/startrek@startrek.website

I don't think I've ever screamed so loud at my TV before. I was loosing my shit at this moment. I was stunned. What a high. Possibly one of the best memories of fandom I have in my life now.

What they were really thinking in c/risa@startrek.website

Hearing Picard simply snarl Q! in that grumpy Patrick Stewart manner is the greatest.

Microblogging Platform with an Algorithm in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social
[–] jaredwhite@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

As others have mentioned, between Mastodon's hashtag following and now Threadiverse communities, that's all I need to feel plugged into various topics I care about. I'm not sure what more a feed algorithm could do for me.

Which bartender do you feel was better utilized in their show, Guinan or Quark? in c/startrek@startrek.website
[–] jaredwhite@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I love the character of Quark, but let's be honest. Guinan is the better bartender, if you're just a regular Starfleet officer looking to down a pint of syntheholic ale.

Only "mildly" infuriating??

My little coffee mug is got a typo in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Weird that they'd bother to take the time to use an accent for "Café" but then misspell Coffee! 😅

The new appleOS updates have surprised me! in c/operating_systems@beehaw.org

Yeah, it's kinda crazy but I'm already running the dev beta on my iPad Pro and my Mac mini (main machine), and other than occasional graphics glitches or whatnot, I've been amazed at the stability and some actual bug fixes from previous versions. If it's looking this good already at the beginning of the summer, I'm feeling pumped about the fall!

Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] jaredwhite@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm missing it a lot less than I ever missed Twitter…
For the most part, Reddit has sort of filled a void of community groups or random goofy videos/memes for me, as I'm not on either FB/IG or TikTok. On Reddit I could see a post about something going on in my city (Portland), a review of a game I like, a cat floofing out of a tiny vase, and a gorgeous photo of a mountainside all in the span of 30 seconds. It'll be a bummer not to have that experience any more, but I get enough value out of the Fediverse at this point (along with a few Discord servers) I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
