watching the Enterprise D zooming past a few random planets
Oh, it showed the star, and the trek
metaphor of new growth to represent the reopening of the academy and the importance of building a new generation.
Oh so Star Trek, but without the star, or the trek.

I rate your comments in this thread 0/100 now please follow your own logic and cancel the entire production.
Irrelevant because I’m not the one trying to sell a product. A rating is a general but not perfect indication of audience acceptance; it should be obvious why someone should care.
If someone review bombs a product it’s because they’re a fan of a previous product, and are massively disappointed in the current offering.
If viewership is low, and review bombs are high, that’s an incredible indicator that the producers don’t understand their audience.

Yeah and if it had absolutely nothing to do with the black lives matter sign, and the person inserted the black lives matter sign as a defense, that what is it?
- Comment on Nazis Have the Dumbest Star Trek Opinions | Jessie Gender 14 hours ago:
But also an aggregated numeric value is not a criticism at all
How’s that? If 10 of your coworkers rated your job performance as 5/10; would you think that’s not a critical indicator of a failing performance?
How about viewer count, shall we go look that up?

You think MAGA is inteligent enough.to review bomb foreigner reviewers?
- Comment on Nazis Have the Dumbest Star Trek Opinions | Jessie Gender 18 hours ago:
Even if we filter out the United States, Academy is sitting at a sub 5/10 rating world wide.
If you call the MAGA crtisicms what you want, but after the fact there are plenty of legit ones remaining.

Idk if there are newer laws, I think there is, but a 1998 law makes it illegal to break a digital lock, very broadly defined, to protect cd’s but applied to all electronics.
Sounds like one of those laws that’s never applied by itself, but instead is always sprinkled in on top of another more well defined and detectable crime. In the case or CDs it would have been against piracy groups who not only cracked CDs, but also distributed.
Without the distribution, that law would have never seen enforcement.

Tell that to every farmer in the US
Every farmer in the U.S. has the right to repair and reprogram their vehicles. They do not however have the right to force John Deer to provide access to their proprietary software.
Not being able to reprogram something, and it being a literal crime, are absolutely different things.

Read some Right to Repair U.S. law. There’s absolutely nothing illegal about reprogramming any device for personal use.
- Comment on 1 day ago:
It’s a federal felony now to alter the programming on an electronic you bought as well.
I can’t find any evidence for this; it would also be a nearly unenforceable law if it was actually a thing. What’s going to happen, the device calls home and says help help I’ve been reprogrammed!
Now altering the programming only for re-saling might have some legal issues.

Apex wasn’t shadow dropped, they paid many many high tier streamers to play and hype the game at release.

- Comment on The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill 2 days ago:
I don’t think it was as direct of a choice as it was a slow sinking into inevitability.
And did any boomer really have a choice for Nixon to NOT close the gold window?

Tastes so good, or at least it did years ago.
