- Comment on On the end of Discovery 11 months ago:
Yeah but the season 3 finale took it to a new extreme
- Comment on On the end of Discovery 11 months ago:
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
- Comment on On the end of Discovery 11 months ago:
Discovery also seems to employ the dimensional technology that the pod from the future employed on Enterprise, being much bigger on the inside
- Comment on Lower Decks, lotta details 11 months ago:
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
- Comment on Lower Decks theme slaps 11 months ago:
The Enterprise theme actually played over the end credits - was called “Archer’s Theme”
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED is now available 11 months ago:
sighs heavily in Australian
- Comment on Don't know where else to say this ... but I'm enjoying the new shows on my own. 1 year ago:
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, but maybe that’s just me
- Comment on Canon Connections: Lower Decks 4x09 - The Inner Fight 1 year ago:
I assume it was because you were tracking down instances of Klingons hugging?
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x10 TBA 1 year ago:
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
- Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support 1 year ago:
They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory
you by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?
- Comment on Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market 1 year ago:
whatever the new architecture ends up being, at some point we will see x86 relegated to a daughter board in the machine while we transition, or x86 will live in a datacenter and you’ll buy time on a “cloud pc” like what microsoft will already sell you in azure
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 1 year ago:
Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn’t make enough money, that’s why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.
Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from

AGIMUS’s drones were reminiscent of the drones from Arsenal of Freedom
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 1 year ago:
the meme blames paramount+ for cancelling a show they didn’t commission and in a large portion of regions was never on streaming
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 1 year ago:
that Nickelodeon were the original commissioners of the production
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 1 year ago:
they were also at one point home of all the movies at one point and that changes every few months, and by region. Accountants going to Accountant
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 1 year ago:
CBS Studios produces most of them and then Paramount+ holds the distribution rights in most cases
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 1 year ago:
keep in mind Prodigy was produced by nickelodeon and only distributed on Paramount+ - for accounting purposes they are all separate entities - Paramount, CBS, Paramount+, Nickelodeon etc even if they are all owned by ViacomCBS
- Comment on Resistance was futile 1 year ago:
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)
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Finds New Home At Netflix After Paramount+ Cancellation 1 year ago:
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
- Comment on Enterprise was a weird show. 1 year ago:
not to be that guy, but on Enterprise they were called hand scanners or just scanners
- Comment on San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code 1 year ago:
The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?
- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
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.
No one knows
- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1
For me it has been since 2012.
- Comment on I'm feeling kinda personally attacked 1 year ago:
And there’s that feeling of dread when you remember you will die one day
- Comment on Master Replicas Drop Includes Picard Inquiry-Class Variants and Lots of Star Trek Reference Books 1 year ago:
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…
- Comment on Mike McMahan Calls On Fans To Help Keep ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ From Facing The Same Fate As ‘Prodigy’ 1 year ago:
This is one tangible draw back to being on the fediverse instead of mainstream media - no one at companies is going to be watching or considering engagement here. So if it sort of locks us out of fan noise. I guess keep streaming it
- Comment on Mike McMahan Calls On Fans To Help Keep ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ From Facing The Same Fate As ‘Prodigy’ 1 year ago:
buy the discs to show Paramount you’re interested?
- Comment on Honest Rejoin EU Ad 1 year ago:
Was expecting the juice media
- Comment on Treklit/Novelverse: how to get up to speed on the lore? 1 year ago:
I enjoyed Coda, but if there was a time to take a hatchet to characters and storylines, that was the time. I understand why they did what they did.
