Image description: It is Amos Burton from The Expanse. He is looking sullen at the words Space (Adjective) Billionaires (Noun) at the top of the image. However, at the bottom of the image he is looking very overly happy at the words Space (Verb) Billionaires (Noun).
I love the shit out of Amos. Super awesome things after the end of the series and back to the books. Doing a, I think, 20 year time jump forward wasn’t going to happen. They stopped at a good point and the books after are a lot less exciting to have on TV.
It’s still a shame though, as they may have adapted them well. Still, we are going to listen to the audio books at some point.
Once you get to that part of the series, it will make a little more sense why it doesn’t work very well. The best thing about the series is how well the cast works together. Nobody wants a season with everyone apart and I don’t think most people could listen to Holden ramble that long. 😅
We think it could be interesting, like Invasion. Also, we do like rambling, heh.
The worst thing about the series is the scapegoating/strawmanning of anarchists by the way the OPA was represented with the (A) in their name, as anarchists we were very annoyed by that.
Amos is a psychopath, who knows he’s a psychopath, so he ties himself to the morals of someone else to keep himself from being too evil.
I guess that makes him the best possible version of himself.
Did you know that if you chuck the image description between the square brackets of the image tag, it works a bit better for screen readers?
Yes, and we did. But unfortunately on lemmy that only works for screen readers and not for everybody wanting to see the alt text (at least not that we can see). A lot of the time the alt text is useful for folks that do not use screen readers for other reasons, including but not limited to colour blind folks and folks seeking more context.
It isn’t limited to screen readers only on other fedi software, so it is something lemmy really needs to fix. However, until it does we will keep using our method to make it avaliable to everyone and everymany, both stick it in the square brackets and put it in the body.
Ah, I see now. Voyager actually does display this but yeah the vanilla frontend doesn’t seem too:
Ah, apparently Voyager (we think it was that one) doesn’t display user profiles though which is one reason we don’t use it as profiles often contain useful information.
Yea, nor does it have the option to render display names rather than usernames. It feels like every app/frontend is missing something unfortunately :c

Couldn’t get the code markdown to behave in lemmy, so link.
Okay, maybe but it really should just work like in other fedi software already. It shouldn’t be this hard.
So in order to use a treadmill in space, I believe that astronauts use bungee cords to simulate gravity.
A spring loaded guillotine would thus be effective in a null gravity environment.
But an electromagnet powered guillotine would be infinitely more badass
They also have pretty sophisticated dampeners and counterweights so that their running doesn’t cause vibrations or other issues with the spacecraft. So keep that in mind when planning for space quilliotine too or you’ll risk change of course when using it.
Sounds like a problem mag-rails could solve.
Exactly, rail gun that death sentence
A simple axe, rotating axle and stump can also work
A few years ago I wondered if there were modern guillotines. I forgot the name of the company, but they had a pneumatic model. Should work in zero gravity just fine.
You could spin the guillotine and use centrifugal force to stimulate gravity!
I knew science would be up for the task!
They need potential energy, gravity just happens to be a relatively constant supply of that. Just need to innovate the means. Rocket powered guillotine
Centrifuguillotine
