- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations" 4 weeks ago:
Batel's Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, "Well, they're just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water." It really doesn't. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it's basically, "because we said so."
god bless Jammer.

- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better 5 weeks ago:
None of this "Universal Star-child" bullshit.
Bang on. It's the same reason I couldn't stand Discovery. There's a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.
Fan fic with higher production values.
I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.

duh.
- Comment on Michelle Yeoh Admits “We Could Have Done Better” With ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ 1 month ago:
Look, TNG got a sequel series (Picard), Voyager got a sequel series (Prodigy)... what we want is for DS9 to get one
You and I both know a Garak miniseries is the only appropriate answer.
- Comment on Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows? 2 months ago:
Honestly it could be something as prohibitive as not having secured film and TV rights from the authors.
I can imagine that doing it after the fact is often quite expensive.
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 2 months ago:
Thanks for posting about this @thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange
I'm interested (in a tired defeatist way) in what I need to do to stay on the right side.
It sounds like geoblocking is probably the quickest legally safe course of action, so perhaps it's bye Mississippi too...
- Comment on new Star Trek Voyager videogame: Across the Unknown 2 months ago:
oh gosh judgement rites... the fact they built a full on 2D dogfight simulator in that game was epic.
I got good enough at it that I could shoot down Trelane.
Spoiler alert — it didn't matter, he stranded you on the planet anyway.
- Comment on new Star Trek Voyager videogame: Across the Unknown 2 months ago:
Sound a bit like XCOM2 set in the ST universe. I'm game.
- Comment on new Star Trek Voyager videogame: Across the Unknown 2 months ago:
If we're seeing the wind down of new Star Trek shows but a resurgence of games, I am totally on board for this
Star Trek Armada reboot please 😁

Well, the good news is at least with conversational backfill, you'll be able to pull the entire reply tree 😁

@blackfox@lemmings.world 50 threads, as in they go to 50 and stop getting new ones?

It's like they didn't consult the daystrom institute at all! Haha
Although tbf I think the port and starboard thrusters are aft facing.
Spot on about the airlock though.

The fuel source with just a bit of bite!
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" 2 months ago:
Is anybody else curious about the fact that you can manually engage port or starboard thrusters via a conveniently located joystick in the hallway?
- Comment on Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users 2 months ago:
@jgrim@discuss.online Pixelfed has no versioning? That's concerning that you have to live on the bleeding edge if you don't want to be outdated.
I do see there are tags, which at least shows some versioning?
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" 2 months ago:
@ijon_the_human@lemmy.world the whole forgotten spaceship idea was worth at least a multi episode arc, but I don't think we'll get much, which is too bad because there's quite a bit to explore. Not even some old log entries to listen to.
Double edged sword that is the episodic show.

This episode is giving me some Firefly vibes.

The Gorn connection was an interesting one... it seemed entirely out of left field, especially since the Gorn were literally put to bed two (one?) episodes ago.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x05 "Through the Lens of Time" 2 months ago:
Exactly. The moment the camera focused on the orb I knew that little twerp (RIP Gamble) would do the typical redshirt thing and pick it up.
- Comment on FediForum October 2025 Tickets Are Now Out! 2 months ago:
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca fwiw the organizers are quite transparent with how the tickets are priced and where the money goes.
Hosting a conference, even one that's online, does take money.

I think maybe posting each individual video to this community might be helpful so individualized discussions could take place.
- Comment on CMS/Newsletter plattform Ghost joins the fediverse 2 months ago:
That is completely on brand with how the Ghost team operates. It's wonderful to see.
- Comment on CMS/Newsletter plattform Ghost joins the fediverse 2 months ago:
Heyyyy, I'm one of the "many more"! :laughing:
Seriously this is super cool. With Ghost and WordPress on the fediverse we're that much closer to connecting the social web and the world wide web together.
There's some concern that this doesn't really apply to the threadiverse, but it does, and I will work my damned hardest that it does. WordPress blogs already show up as communities here. Ghost blogs don't, but I will continue to advocate for it.

- Comment on Followers-only replies are broken between pixelfed & mastodon (non-mutuals can’t see them) 3 months ago:
@occultist8128@infosec.pub "followers only" is a concept that is Mastodon specific, and Pixelfed supports it.
There's nothing to change at the protocol level itself.
Sending the reply to OP in your example would be a betrayal of the visibility of followers only... which is kind of silly but technically correct.
Better would be followers + participants, but that's up to the individual implementors to adopt.
- Comment on Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking? 3 months ago:
@pumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it's a forum and that's literally how it was done way back then.
You can follow tags as well.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Loops is newly funded, so that round is still active. I still wouldn't get hype about it until it happens though! 😉
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Unfortunately it actually isn't. NodeBB (me!) and Discourse are the only two forums that federate.
NodeBB has full two-way support with discovery features, Discourse is mostly broadcast-style (i.e. you can't find Lemmy posts from Discourse)
- Comment on Canadian Trekkies: SNW Season 3 will be airing on CTV Sci-Fi Channel 3 months ago:
@valuesubtracted@startrek.website CTV SciFi is still an add-on channel, which is unfortunate for freeloaders like me (I use an antenna which probably makes me a crusty old fart.)
