Dunno what I’m doing here. I’m a fan of federation, but not sure about microblogging. Trying see what’s going on with Trek and arboriculture.
@reddig33 @Tired8281 I’m fine with reusing stories/themes. There’s only few blues songs, but remixing them still keeps me entertained.
I have zero complaints about SNW. I might rewrite some of it, and I also might screw them up by doing so. All I’m looking for is a good story with characters I like, and nitpicks aside, SNW is knocking it out of the park.
@Nmyownworld Nothing I can think of. My hobby(arboriculture) is pretty dangerous. I just do my best to minimize risks.
A holodeck would be a game changer though. While perhaps not truly dangerous with safeties on, doing Worf’s calisthenics program, or recreating historic battles where you meet on a field with sword and shield would be hugely fun and intimidating, even with the safety factor.

I have that downloaded, but haven’t read it yet.
I downloaded a bunch of stuff from youtube while waiting at the doctors, and I need to see what I got. I must have grabbed the wrong link, and started downloading the whole youtube channel that was linked above :^D
I finished Phase II New Voyages… I guess… There was one episode left, and apparently they got the smackdown from CBS, and it was never released. It was getting good too. Everything was tightening up, and they were finding their footing, per Star Trek tradition. It’s a perversion of copyright law. Copyright is to ensure works get produced. A monopoly isn’t the end goal. Not like these shows are real competition. If anything, they bolster the franchise.

“He looks just like Ted, the sysadmin from Xcorp”
“That’s because that /is/ Ted, the sysadmin from Xcorp” :^D
I know what you mean. I think I could work with that though. It gives it a more true life representation of people doing their thing. When combined with the other “errors” though; it makes it harder… or something. Probably best to adjust expectations, and enjoy them for what they are. Homemade Trek is better than no Trek, so it’s something new when nothing else is on
Horizon was pretty good…

It has a weird hazy soft focus film style that I suspect is to make effects/backgrounds easier to produce. There was also a couple times I was confused, but it was a decent story and an enjoyable watch.
One thing I really notice is timing in the dialog. It’s one of those ‘I know it when I see it’ things. I couldn’t do any better if I were producing it, but I can see a clear difference between amateur and professional shows. It’s hard to exactly put my finger on it, but they’ll hold onto a shot, the dialog will lag by a little bit, and it doesn’t land as well as it could.
No problem starting with s03. There’s very little continuity between seasons, and the parts that call back to earlier seasons are fleeting and non crucial. Each season can be watched out of order, but within seasons, they need to be watched serially.
FTR, I liked the whole series, but I’d have trouble recommending s01-02 generally.

Mastodon 4.1.4 allows hiding list contents from home. The feed is disordered, and is sometimes lacking context, but I find it minimally workable.
I’ll make a reply sometimes from mastodon, and I don’t know where it goes. Sometimes it shows up in a thread, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it’s delayed. I don’t have a good enough grip on this stuff to figure it out exactly, but I suspect it’s a federation issue of some kind.
Getting into the nuts & bolts of how the federation scheme works would probably give some clues, but that’s a lot of work.
I realize I’m kind of a PITA with my idiosyncrasies, but I’d like you to consider a way of taking ‘one and done’ donations. I tend to avoid recurring automated subscriptions.
There might be others like me, and you could pickup a couple dollars here and there from one-offs.
I don’t have a lemmy acct anywhere at this point, but I like what you’re doing, and I spend time here, so I’d like to support you without making a commitment.
I *really* hate the transparent consoles they use in new Trek. I would be so angry being forced to work on one those ~8 hours per day. How can you see anything with zero contrast and background disruptions?! Like trying to read a web page with a movie going on behind it.
My computer terminal is at 75% opacity just for the novelty and visuals, but it makes it harder to work with. I wouldn’t have it if I were working in the terminal all day.
He swan dived off the cliff. Hard to come back from that, but nothing’s impossible for Trek I guess.
I’m used to painful browsing. I keep my systems pretty locked down, so I’m always twiddling knobs to see what I want. What I envision is a tabbed interface where I could have startrek.website in a non logged in tab, with my logged in mastodon acct in another. I click on the federation link in startrek, and it automatically populates my mastodon acct to make a reply. A cursory look at kbin looks like it might work like that, but I need to spend the time studying it.
Yea, following the site in Mastodon is suboptimal. I’m kind of waiting to see how all this stuff shakes out. I don’t like creating accounts everywhere, so I’m looking at kbin, lemmy, or just staying on mastodon. Depends on where the software goes.
I haven’t seen DS9 in awhile, but that’s not how I remember her. Winn did what was best for Winn. Any benefit to others was a coincidence, or part of her MakeWinnGreatAgain program.
Perhaps. DDG is kind of a clumsy name, and it’s hard to say without throwing a bunch of rocks in the speech machine. I’ll have to watch that part again to get the exact phrasing/context. Maybe a generic “search” would have worked better, but I’m generally ok with not giving google any more mindshare.
Heh… I didn’t notice the product placement at all. I’ll have to watch again and see what y’all are talking about.
I’m pretty agnostic regarding brands. It just doesn’t register to me, and advertisements usually disappear as background noise. If there’s a can of Coke™ on the table, I don’t usually recognize it as a proprietary brand, and translate it to “soda”.
Janeway is my favorite part of Prodigy. I had a vague notion she was on the show, but when she made her appearance, I was “Janeway! \o/”
I avoid talk, trailers, and everything else for new Trek I want to see. I want the first time I see something to be in the correct context, and to be somewhat of a surprise. Makes it more fun.
It ain’t over til it’s over. I’m expecting s02 one way or the other, and I’m hoping for more after that.

Voting is garbage. It’s a cancer on all these type sites. Deciding the value of a post only requires basic literacy, and someone else’s opinion is irrelevant. I only upvote posts as a reward to the author. It isn’t for anyone else. Others should read the post and decide for themselves what value it has.
