I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....
the cruel irony is that the only reason that Kelpiens are even spacefaring is because Discovery intervened the previous season, in that regard Discovery caused the burn
The Klingon merchant on Tulgana IV definitely has the Lursa and B’ETor sound going on, I’d be surprised if the voice actress wasn’t wearing Klingon teeth
I’m not defending negative nellies - but its is possible to enjoy something and still criticise it. You’ve attacked me in the past for having a minor criticism. I’m not going to block you over it, I just think twice about whether I want the hassle, but maybe that’s just me
I liked the “He looks like Tom Paris” back and forth, I’m glad they didn’t do something hokey like he’s Tom Paris’ cousin or something. I liked the flashback showing Mariner as the tag along first year, worked better than just telling us in the previous episode, that flashback probably should have been attached to episode 9.
I kept expecting William Boimler to show up before the end of the season, guess they’re holding onto that thread for next year
The flatpak size disadvantage is negligible in the age of terabytes
the issue is overstated as most flatpaks use the flatpak platform runtimes and share their own libraries in a similar manner to the host, yes its separate libraries, but its not dozens of disparate copies like some detractors of flatpak seem to state
that’s the beauty of distros, those that want traditional package structure can still use a distro that does.
Even the current flatpak first distros like OSTree spins of Fedora (Silverblue, Kinoite et al) provide mutable containers for using any package format you like.
I was hoping for Prime, but their kids offering is pretty anemic compared to Netflix. With the cost of Netflix it only gets a few months a year in our household too
borg completely absurd and ridiculous (sex suits instead of armour? High heels?)
I always assumed that was the doctor playing dress up and she wasn’t individual enough to contradict it. Once she came back to the Alpha Quadrant she clearly got some fashion sense
I drive an EV (not a tesla) and I agree. I have it primarily because its cheaper to run… My ancient previous car didn’t owe me anything, I ran it into the ground.
[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a “Subscription Edition,” “Subscription Type,” and a “subscription status.”
It looks like they will add a subscription edition, doesn’t necessarily mean current editions will go away. If they don’t offer free upgrade again, for a lot of people they will need to decide to either buy a full license or roll a subscription.
There is not a lot known here tho, will Windows be part of the existing 365 subscription? Will OEMs offer a full license any more? Or will it be a trial before adding a sub or license.
These drops have been so good. I’ve managed to get all the hero ships in regular size, even the Cerritos which I thought I’d missed my chance on. I missed regular DS9, but I am tempted by the XL in this drop…
This is one tangible draw back to being on the fediverse instead of mainstream social media - no one at companies are going to be watching or considering engagement here. So if it sort of locks us out of fan noise. I guess keep streaming it
Quantumania got a bad rap, but I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty CG heavy and that detracted from it a bit, but it was still fun and an interesting episode to start what ever season we’re up to now.
Didn’t get it until July this year. The kids brought it through the house in 2021, by some miracle of vaccination the wife and I didn’t catch it then. Then the wife brought it home. Was pretty mild for both of us. We’ve kept our boosters up and we’re in Australia so it didn’t go nuts here until omicron
If governments the world over were as obsessed with solving things like the climate crisis and cost of living as they are with undermining encryption techs, we’d be living in a utopia by now.
They tried this here in Australia, luckily for us it got voted down. Iirc there’s been other countries trying the same BS
it is my understanding that our sucky Assistance and Access Act, is fundamentally different, it compels developers provide back doors where it will not systemically undermine the system. To my understanding the UK one requests “breaking” e2ee in its entirely - which is why services like Signal were considering full exiting the region?
A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...
The video is from Paramount Plus, who don’t currently have the rights to Prodigy, even though the parent company does. If they included it in their promotional material it would effect their ability to either sell those rights to someone else or write the show off for tax purposes.
It’s convoluted and stupid, but running your streaming service as a separate entity is how all the studios have it rigged up. Accounting ftw
