uhhh ok? Any particular reason…?
- Comment on /c/fuckai in shambles rn 19 hours ago:
The idea of Data’s whole life being the result of a prompt from Soong is hilarious

Exactly, they got Paul Giamatti for Spock’s sake. When an actor is at their level they can be choosy about the roles they take on.

Top tier!

I’m fairly OK with NuTrek trusting the audience less and driving a point home harder
I’m generally against this, but it’s not like Star Trek ever gave us a reasonable expectation of subtlety… Image

- Comment on Don't fall into the anti-AI hype 6 days ago:
It seems we agree on the facts, but not on what “useful” or “helpful” means. Ihonestly have never, ever considered deciding on food to be labor, but in the interests of replying in good faith I asked an LLM the exact prompt you gave. It gave a long, detailed reply, but here is the first part labeled “1. Welcome / Cocktail Reception”:
Mini prosciutto‑wrapped melon balls • Brie & caramelized onion tartlets (store‑bought puff pastry) • Stuffed mushroom caps (herb cream cheese + breadcrumbs)
I want you to consider that this not actually helpful in the slightest, and is fact creating more work. Consider: is there a vendor nearby that has these items as an an option for event planning? Is this a recipe that even exists? Does this information further my mission of having a wedding in any conceivable way?
- Comment on Don't fall into the anti-AI hype 6 days ago:
That doesn’t explain what the LLM actually did to help. It’s like saying “I used ChatGPT to plan my wedding menu” without any details. What did it actually do? Why was it helpful? Those are the things I continue to not understand about these tools.
- Comment on Don't fall into the anti-AI hype 6 days ago:
Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it.
OK well I’ve thought about it and I still don’t understand. Surely, this thousand word essay can explain what ““AI”” can do right? Surely it’s not the same vague nonspecific claims about “missing out” on the future?
It is simply impossible not to see the reality of what is happening.
Huh. Guess I’m just really dumb then.

I was quoting TNG’s final words, but now you’ve got me actually wanting this!

They should have done this a long time ago.

I love the description.
Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?
- Comment on I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop 2 weeks ago:
2025 was the year for me (Fedora Kinoite), in my opinion, is absolutely ready for the mainstream.

um do you really believe that performance stages are constructed to ignore whatever is on them

If sexy romulan is ridiculous I don’t want to be normal
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 4 weeks ago:
Most of my 2025 was Silksong actually, but for only $20 it felt like a patient gamer moment!
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
This is it exactly.
“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”
We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

Well, it’s not no.
- Comment on Is it confirmed that The Doctor we'll be seeing in Academy is NOT the one from "Living Witness"? 5 weeks ago:
On one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.

It may feel that way, but there is a lot of evidence pointing to that not being true.
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Exclusive Clip | Paramount+ (CCXP 2025) 5 weeks ago:
lol nah, instead of the show they’ll go watch YouTubers who will tell them to ignore they’re lying eyes and continue to reiterate that the show is actually a teen drama.
Remember how the main overarching plot of Discovery was all about gender dysmorphia? And how that’s all anyone on the show ever talked about? No? Well, according to Youtube it was.
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Exclusive Clip | Paramount+ (CCXP 2025) 5 weeks ago:
The Doctor still doesn’t have a name??
I think I will need to be sold a bit on Holly Hunter, but otherwise this looks pretty great and much better than I expected when announced.

I love that they changed their name to show how serious they were about the metaverse being the future of tech and it never even came close to being a thing.
