- Comment on Theory: The EMH in "Academy" is going to be the copy from "Living Witness" 3 months ago:
Only reason I think they might not go this route is that it could make it hard for them to drop in Prodigy references. Although, they could definitely have the two EMHs talking to each other...
- Comment on A symbol for the fediverse ⁂ 4 months ago:
Of note: ActivityPub (the protocol) has its own logo, seen in https://activitypub.rocks/ and other places. The protocol and the community are absolutely separate things, so this is really good.
I've never really linked the rainbow star icon, just because I don't really like rainbows (IMO the ace flag is the prettiest but I might be biased). I'm also still not convinced that Meta's icon is even supposed to represent the fediverse, as opposed to just a Threads feature that lets it connect to the fediverse. So overall I'm a fan of this proposal, although it does bug me that it uses 6-pointed stars in the font on the webpage and 5-pointed stars in most other typefaces. The 5-pointed stars create some nice negative space.
- Comment on Lemmy interoperability with other Fediverse projects 4 months ago:
ActivityPub addressing is really somewhat complex and pretty much any server is going to abstract it with things like at-mentions, sometimes making different assumptions. When I reply to lemmy posts from my microblog.pub server, I sometimes need to make sure to include both the user (@elena@lemmy.world) and community (@fediverse@lemmy.world) if they happen to be on different domains. Otherwise my server's addressing won't send it to the right place. And I doubt other lemmy instances will see this post unless I tag them too.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Season 2 Launching On SkyShowtime In Europe In August; Canada Still Waiting 5 months ago:
I know everyone here probably knows how to pirate things from overseas, but having the show available on a streaming service like Netflix or SkyShowtime is going to put it in front of more people who might like it and make it easier for them to recommend to their friends. I'd say the same thing no matter how long the wait was, to be honest. It took a good while for Summer Camp Island S6 to show up here in the U.S. but now it gets regular reruns on cable, which is what lets kids and teens find it. Better that the show's reach isn't restricted to people who already know what they're looking for.
CTV used to be the best at exposure by putting Star Trek on both streaming and linear - not sure why they're dropping the ball on this one.

They had to turn the ship into a boat! (What an odd sentence.)

@Stormygeddon@startrek.website I'd love to see Andorians and Tellarites struggle to pronounce place names like Ashwaubenon and Oconomowoc.

Reminded me a lot of Discovery. What a cool episode for Zero - their character design is quite fitting I think and looks good. Wonder if we'll ever see that in live action. @startrek@startrek.website
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Prodigy | 2x07 "The Race" 5 months ago:
Checking off two sci-fi bingo boxes with the classic "airplane race with an alien you just met" and "computer gone rogue" in the same half hour! Quite clever and brave of Zero to take the pointy AI out like that.
By the way, did Gwyn refer to Zero as a he in the log? If true, it wouldn't be the first time a character's pronouns have changed after you met them. Just like real life - I like that.
P.S. Is this the first time in Star Trek we hear a log in voiceover that also includes someone else's voice?

@startrek@startrek.website Michaela Dietz playing a Vulcan, that sounds interesting!

@ChasingEnigma@lemmy.world DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.
