We’re still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we’re climbing out of it. I’m already being ‘tricked’ left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen

- Comment on Second Wave Of Nacelle Star Trek Figures Includes ‘Generations’ Kirk, Sailor Worf And Geordi, And More 1 month ago:
TLDR; I believe Generations is the best of the TNG films and easily in the top 5 classic films, even if the TNG film series as a whole falls short.

Thanks for saving me the time because I did not read farther. - Comment on It's no longer easy to play April Fool's jokes on Americans because their reality is so chaotic that it's no longer easy to tell what is real, funny, fake or sad. 1 month ago:
Also it isn’t funny. Not in the “boo too that’s NOT FUNNY!” crybaby sense, but in the “99.999% of all standup comedy” sense. I’ve heard that in Foreign Lands you can’t pull a prank once the clock strikes noon, or else you are the April fool and presumably get put in a stock and pillory till sundown.

V is easily the weakest TOS movie but it at least still has interesting ideas in it, unlike the completely null achievements of the Next Gen movies. It’s the sixth-best Star Trek movie by a country mile.

LineageOS on the other hand you have to do a boatload of stuff to de-Google it.

LineageOS doesn’t come with Google Play Services on board at all, you have to flash it (or MicroG) if you want it. Why just make shit up?
