  • I hope we get a de-aged Shatner appearance (I don't actually hope that... I think)

  • It really feels like they watched Star Trek Renegades and were like "YES".

    I echo what you said elsewhere, if I get a goofy action movie (or better) then I won't be disappointed and it will be nice to see the Discovery-era one last time.

  • Nothing to add except I love this discussion prompt

  • Scott Bakula is a good actor but he sold the adventurous naivete of S1-2 Archer much better than the moody and distraught Archer in S3. Thankfully season 4 went back to the original spirit.

  • In my book a single data point (a phone number) is not "vast amounts of metadata". Again, I have never seen someone describing Signal as a “paragon of privacy and security”, Signal itself certainly does not say that (It's presented as an improvement over SMS).

  • Signal is an excellent alternative if you're looking for an E2E encrypted SMS replacement your grandmother can use.

  • Where did you read that they are collecting vast amounts of metadata? Not challenging your claim just that I have been trying to find more info and came up empty. Signal says "we don’t collect analytics or telemetry data" but that's about it.

  • I'd be curious to hear your criticisms of Signal! While I haven't seen anyone describing it as a "paragon of privacy and security" I do think it is a highly accessible SMS replacement that is also open source, end-to-end encrypted, and operated by a nonprofit.

  • The horniess of the early 2000s makes Gene's vision of the Original Series seem downright conservative.

  • The only episode I ever actually skip. Although the "A" plot isn't terrible!

  • Meanwhile I'm over here still hoping for a Captain Proton spinoff to be announced...

  • I'm surprised nobody has yet jail-broken Samsung and LG TVs and made a custom Tizen ROM

  • I love the one where the bodies get dumped in the wormhole lol. Your essay also made me think of VOY's "Mortal Coil" where Neelix has a "spiritual" crisis but as you said the crisis can be viewed as coming from the collective definition of what death means socially.

  • sick words bro but dude u got any practi-cool ideas? or just complaints :/

  • A Trek-inspired thought provoking essay is my favorite kind of post! Thanks for sharing.

  • Truly amazing how many journalists have drank the big tech kool-aid.

  • I don’t get why people are so interested in the fediverse.

    Because Mastodon is Twitter without the possibility of an Elon Musk and Lemmy/Piefed is Reddit without the possibility of a Steve Huffman. You clearly feel that you can do better than the collective efforts of the ActivityPub devs so I am rooting for you!
