That’s just about when it got a bit more watchable.
- Comment on What's the point on hosting RSS reader's? 11 months ago:
Some jerk company (like Google) cannot suddenly discontinue my entire reader with all my feeds, because its mine, on my server. But because it’s a web app, I can use it from any device, unlike a local app. After Google killed reader, That was just too annoying. Self hosted since.
- Comment on Let's remember some Star Trek games 11 months ago:
I really enjoyed Star Trek: Klingon, on PC back in the day. It was officer cultural sensitivity holodeck training for the officer exchange program. You had to make decisions appropriate to Klingon social customs. It was bundled with a Klingon language learning programs with speech recognition tech. Very cool stuff for 1996 CD-ROM games.

A huge percentage comes down to this. Don’t treat women as objects or aliens. They’re people.

You should include what country you are talking about. I know nobody in the USA who had an arranged marriage in the 1950s. They met partners at school, church, and neighborhood/extended family picnics and parties for the most part. They met in stores, libraries, and cafes. We have to maintain public casual community spaces. To paraprhase a Sociology professor I once had: you can’t marry someone you never meet. It requires talking to other humans to make even casual friends.

I’m sorry, but are you being this snotty for any other reason than to make yourself feel better for being rude?

If you connect your phone to the car, can it spy on your Signal messages? I mean, they have to decrypt on your end for you to see them, right? Or has Signal taken specific steps to stop this?

In my region, where public transport doesn’t exist much at all, if you don’t drive, you might not eat or work (the lucky few work remotely, but not all).

What model did you buy? It is rare to see one these days that doesn’t have all this nonsense.

The issue is that this 20 year old car is not going to last forever or have replacement parts available forever. We need better privacy laws, because time and entropy will eventually force us all into this evil mess.

This sounds like it should be the premise of a Doctor Who episode.
- Comment on The Verge Takes on Self-Hosting for the Masses 1 year ago:
If you do not teach proprietary software un schools, you will hobble your students’ jub hunting potential. We should ALSO teach open source alternatives, and teach the idea that there are functional alternatives, but a student who has never used the major apps isn’t getting their resume even looked at by a human.
- Comment on The Verge Takes on Self-Hosting for the Masses 1 year ago:
I’ve never bothered to check, because I self host to serve 1-5 users, and I’ve never generated enough traffic for any ISP to notice. I would need to pay them more for a static IP address, but we have dynamic DNS services for that. My ISP doesn’t put any actual obstacles in place beyond dynamic IP.

Just talk about other every day things, and avoid the topic of delusion.

You’re going to have to accept that she is stupid and insane. Don’t take it personally when the mentally ill person denies that your profession exists. She is delusional, and we must be patient with the crazies.

The problem with using YT videos is that they are transitory. Also, you’re then subjecting your reader to somebody else’s advertisements for their gain.
- Comment on Favourite Software for hosting E-Books 1 year ago:
I run BicBucStrim on my NAS, and I access it through the web browser of any PC or tablet, my Kobo eReader, or Mobiscribe eReader. You can download a book to the device to read it, though. It basically just generates a nice web layout to access your Calibre library.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
It is really easy to not follow showings on Twitter. I do not follow her, and I never see her Tweets.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
They do, and they should get on with that, and start ignoring people who don’t agree with them, their lifestyle, or use of language. You cannot enforce your own ideas about your identity on anyone else, because they are also entitled to have their own ideas. All a person can do is just live. Celebrity opinions are not law, and should not be paid such attention as if they matter.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
Her opinion on pronouns is her own business. The world is free to stop asking her about it.

If you’re a long time Trek fan, definitely check out SNW. It is the best of all the new stuff for old-school fans. By a long shot.
- Comment on I just finished DS9, and I'm sad to know that we'll never get anything like it again 1 year ago:
I finally suffered through the first 4 seasons of Babylon 5 this year. While there are good moments, the production values, writing, and acting are just not on a level with DS9. It felt like watching a big 3 network soap opera in space a lot of the time, with that same type of acting style. A couple of characters were great, but that’s it. DS9 was just a better made show all around. Babylon 5 proves that you can have great ideas, but if the entire production situation doesn’t come together in an equally high quality way, you aren’t going to get an equally good result that will hold up over time the same way.
