Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?

Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I'm gonna start out by saying that I promise I'm not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I'm fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did...

The entirety of Discovery was canon breaking, so they pretty thoroughly retconned it into a memory hole.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x10 "Life, Itself"

LoglineSeries Finale. Trapped inside a mysterious alien portal that defies familiar rules of time, space, and gravity, Captain Burnham must fight Moll – and the environment itself – in order to locate the Progenitors’ technology and secure it for the Federation. Meanwhile, Book puts himself in harm’s way to help Burnham...

Should have gone with Barclay as Kovitch.

So weird, that's not what I see.

I will never use a Windows laptop because it wakes up in the middle of the night to apply some stupid update, then glitches out, and can't go back to sleep. So every morning I find a laptop with a dead battery. Sometimes if I wake up early, it'll still be hot from whatever it was doing.

Fixing that stupid bug should have been easier than porting the whole OS and app stack and emulator to a new CPU arch. And I have no faith they fixed the bug anyway, so it'll probably still happen to ARM models. So no thank you.

Honestly, the mastodon obsession seems like a you problem. Talk about what you want on the fediverse. Maybe mastodon users see it, maybe they don't, who cares.

I have some older laptops that are 1080p, which was great at the time, but they are now obviously inferior at displaying text, etc. 4k can be overkill, 1440p (or 1600, or thereabouts) is usually fine (for me).

What is this "world of content" the author is talking about? 17 years ago, the streaming options on Netflix were the previous season of Friday Night Lights, and... that was it. A few years later they got The Office, but never the current season. So you were always behind. These articles never seem to include a graph of available content over time.

You um... did know that um... mastodon did produce a um... product before the board change, right?

Real talk, the mastodon traffic stampede isn't that bad for a properly configured website.

Every phone can have two batteries if you just get a battery pack.

So what should a regulated search utility do about SEO spam? Maybe publish an open source algorithm so I can test my spam before submitting it?

tedu ,

Is there a seven paragraph summary or something I can read? It's a written document. I can just read it myself, maybe?

tedu ,

There's plenty of dumb to go around, but the word frunk by itself is the dumbest thing about this story.

Why in the world would I want to see more bullshit from weirdos and grifters I don't follow?

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week ( arstechnica.com )

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

You'd think management at Netflix would look at the effect their changes have had on income, and uh, take that in to account planning future changes. Or something, right?

Link to the source?

I like how the verb in the headline evolves every time I see this story. First he was surprised. Then he was shocked. Now he's alarmed. Maybe I'll check back tomorrow and learn he's horrified!

What should we make pretend people with?

DIY Espresso ( www.fourbardesign.com )

High pressure, high forces, long lever arms...all of that meant heavy and strong (read: expensive) parts which I was not looking forward to having to fabricate. Instead, I settled on the simpler idea of harnessing the power of compressed gas. Instead of using a high mechanical advantage lever to push a piston, compressed CO2...
