Boimler’s facial hair project continues to get even more gross, the “growing the beard” joke that is for sure coming better be worth it!

That part cracked me up

If you remember enjoying Datalore I would advise you never watch it again. It definitely is important to watch from a lore (no pun intended) perspective, but it is actually extremely awkward lol

I think Discovery being modern and (mostly) a prequel is a good place to start. It also is a good into to SNW for obvious reasons.

Y’know we see so many old “fans” going out of their way to shit on the post-2005 stuff it’s nice to see people who got into it through the new shows!

FYI not to discourage others from commenting (because everyone has their own opinion) but there is a pretty comprehensive guide in the /c/StarTrek sidebar: https://wiki.startrek.website/books/cstartrek/page/the-cstartrek-where-should-i-start-guide

Bluesky takes advantage of self hosters for more distribution and reliability, but still maintains centralized control over content and user management.

This is what I don’t understand, why would anyone choose to host when there is zero advantage? I sort of feel is by design so they can claim “decentralized” while still having full control over the data.

is decentralized

It’s not.

I assume someone else can just create a server and join the network of BlueSky?

They can’t.

in reality at the moment its controlled by only one big company.

…yep.

My hope is that they will one day cooperate with Fediverse.

ActivityPub existed before BlueSky did and they chose to make their own, incompatible thing. So I don’t have high hopes for this.

That doesn’t mean much unfortunately.

Alex Kurtzman ran for mayor of my town just to make it illegal for me to watch TNG :(

Seinfeld style finale?

There’s no evidence it’s not! First Contact was a TNG movie after all.

LOL I would love if a new Trek film comes out and it’s just some extremely esoteric avant-garde production.

Give me Warhol’s “Empire” but it’s just an extended 8 hour cut of the flyby scene in TMP.

my god man who hurt you

I knew she was in the episode going in but was surprised it was such a brief part!

I love that “bij” is canon after all these years

I see we’re reporting on reports now

Q: What’s the difference between Lemmy MAGAs and Lemmy Leftists?

A: Nothing! All they ever post is fantasies about “liberal tears”.
