there’s no way they would have had this to hand the whole time and never thought to use it during any one of the many life and death emergencies?

Ah, yes, the star trek classic!

I do agree, though. It was too long and too effective. A quick burst to make their way past the medical guards and into a turbolift would have been more believable and better paced.

I do try to maintain proper grammar and capitalization online (to a reasonable degree), and, though I try not to, I've built a judgmental perspective against those who don't. It's not really about things like capitalization, though. The root of it lies in the baseline level of effort that's expected in order to contribute.

I truly don't understand the way some people choose to participate in online forums. In any large enough (and unmoderated) community, there are just pages and pages of single-line, uncapitalized, unpunctuated, emoji-strewn nonsense. None of these individually is a problem, but as a whole it seems to represent a fundamental lack of care about the quality of discussion.

But hey, maybe I've just become a crotchety bastard.

I'll have to try Jerboa at some point, but just the mobile site alone works quite well.

I haven't used Mastodon, but does account exporting allow you to move subscriptions and other account info from one instance to another?
