It would be awesome for a bunch of woodworkers to carve some ghost guns to show how stupid this is. Printing can’t be that much stronger than oak, so it should work.

So if it had been popular would it have continued? Serious question, because it sounds like they weren’t going to continue SFA after season 2 in the first place.

Okay. Still doesn’t explain why they’d announce this now.

The fact that this is happening now and not at the end of season 2 implies studio shenaniganary and not listening to some dumb chuds.
Why would they sabotage viewership for season 2 instead of canceling it outright? Or at a minimum just dump the rest of it now?
My gut says it’s virtue signaling by management to the Ellison who’s gonna run the place in the not too distant future. Canceling the “woke” trek sounds like something sufficiently sycophantic for a Hollywood exec.
The worst part is now the chuds are taking a victory lap.

They did release a lot of content previews right before the legal decision.

Not him specifically but that management pattern broadly over the entertainment industry. There’s The Showrunner and they’re supposed to control multiple films and series. I bet it’s exhausting and that’s why later stuff just isn’t as good.
By giving more people more freedom we’ll get more stories from more perspectives with different takes, instead of a corporate monoculture.
This is a pattern that happens every time control is decentralized, across social groups, so I’m pretty sure it’ll work.

They should give a bunch of creators a couple million dollars to write new stories in the Trek universe, whichever one.
All of life is over administered, and having one creative brain behind entire IPs is a limiting factor to creativity.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 2 months ago:
This is why I got a mini PC with five Ethernet ports and configured it as a router/pihole.
Everything goes through a WireGuard VPN, and I have DNS that’s private.
And I know it’s secure because I wrote the iptables myself.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 7 months ago:
Converting an office building to apartments isn’t as easy as you think. For example, apartments need firewalls between them, and adding them ain’t cheap.
Might be easier to rezone and demolish, but the timelines on that are huge and there’s already a labor shortage in the construction industry.

I’m WFH and my boss makes me miserable a lot.
But at least I’m not wearing pants.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 8 months ago:
You can customize and debug pretty easily, I’ve found. You can create your own Dockerfile based on one you’re using and add customizations there, and
execwill get you into the container. - Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 8 months ago:
Learning this fact is what got me to finally dockerize my setup
