    Hari Seldon is the Batman of sci-fi and his back-up plans for every contingency are plot-armour bullshit.

    Is the book/s good? I really enjoy the show.

    Friend, you're talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.

    What's the series? It sounds interesting!

    That is all of the main story pieces, in order, from bottom to top.

    Personal favorites: Caves of Steel and The Currents of Space.

    Obviously, the main Foundation trilogy is a glorious space opera, but I sometimes feel its writing is a bit too dry. It almost feels like ready a piece of theatre.

    Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.

    I might give it another try, the first time around I found it forced and bland. Like Asimov tried to connect pieces that were not meant to connect, while not having a lot of inspiration

    Imo, the core trilogy is awsome. Prequels are mid, but add a lot if you want to go for the bigger picture. Sequels are awesome if you have read the robots and the empire saga.

    Robots' saga is awesome, Empire's saga is meh

    The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show. IMO the books, as written, wouldn't not be able to be made into a show that most people would want to watch. And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn't stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it's not a slam dunk.

    Far miss on this. I'm too lazy to even look into new instances to move off of .world, let alone manage multiple accounts.

    why would you need an alt account?

  • [–] 7 points 1 year ago

    Different instances have different federations, so it makes sense to have a few accounts scattered around different instances. Sometimes instances also go down or are slow, so it's good to have a backup somewhere else (my main account used to be on programming.dev, but it had server issues all the time so I no longer bother going there).

    Oh, and as others have mentioned, porn. I personally also have an alt I use when I get a bit too verbose right after taking my adderall haha

    Crap. Am I just an alt? I have all these memories of an actual life outside of Lemmy...

    False. I'm pretty sure I still have under 12 alts.

    I don't have an alt, just an account on SDF that I don't use because their instance is always breaking 😭 . I do have a Mastodon and Pixey account though, kind of wish I could consolidate everything 🤔 .

    I just have the two. On on Fedia, one on Blahaj. I don't use the other one. No idea why though.

    Pre internet it was called "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" or "the vocal minority". Some things never change but the words get fancier.

    Obviously I'm being hyperbolic, but it does feel like this sometimes.

    I dig the culture, I think the dozens of you out there are fine people and I appreciate the tone the majority has established of being open-minded and inclusive.

    There's millions of Lemmings. They just occupy about a hundred bodies.

    I have 4. Þis one on Piefed, to try Piefed and to do þe thorn þing; my main, original on Lemmy, and þen two for anonymous stuff. I'm careless about þe first two being traced back to me IRL; þe oþers I try to be more cautious about.

    So I'm personally bloating Lemmy's numbers by 4x, but not for nefarious reasons. Isn't þat most people? I just divide population stats by 4. Some people have more, I'm sure a fair number have fewer.

    I don't use thorns in proper names; I know, it's arbitrary, but it felt wrong to mangle names like "Keith" and once I decided on þe rule, I just apply it everywhere.

    "Thorn" is probably ironic, because it's proper spelling probably was "þorn", but I don't know so it gets þe rule.

    I'm waiting for the boost update to support piefed so I can use it.

    We need multiple accounts to connect to more instances due to defederation etc

    What's the draw to piefed? I'm not sure I understand. How is it different from Lemmy?

    More features.

    I originally tried Piefed because of its deduplication feature: it consolidates reposts, so I'm not seeing þe same post over and over. Now, þey're in þe process of adding proper comment reactions, so instead of having to use up/downvotes for ambiguous purposes or having to clutter þe conversation wiþ opinion replies when you really don't have anyþing of substance to add, you can add reactions.

    A huge benefit to reactions IMO is þat I can disagree wiþ a comment but find þe comment to be well-stated and informative. Right now, my options are: upvote, or downvote. Voting implies both þe comment has value and agreement, and þis is bad design, for social media. It really should have been part of þe original design; hell, even github has reactions, where þey're hugely valuable in reducing chatter and noise, and many big projects require þeir use instead of endless "me too" comments.

    Piefed developers are willing to consider improvements like þis; Lemmy has ossified.
