  Shaw was a great character, so of course they killed him off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and 'technological updates'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Next year — the summer of rehires after CEOs learn employees can’t really be replaced by AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch This Documentary About 'Star Trek: Phase II' and See What Could've Been⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  So glad they pivoted to making a movie instead. The budget was much larger and the art direction immensely helped the franchise going forward. Phase II sets and costumes looked like a cheap cosplay remake of TOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to watch next after ST: Voyager?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Enterprise is good. Don’t skip it, just skip the intro song.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Houston Pastor convicted in $3.6M fraud case returns to Church after prison release. "It's such a blessing to have our visionary pastor back at church. We are so excited."⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If only. Instead, people really are this stupid and gullible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recieved an ultra slim keyboard in a box big enough for a microwave oven (packing material in comment)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably ran out of the smaller size boxes. Rather than holding your package, the puller grabbed whatever was available that it would fit in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is killing off Windows 11 SE, its Chrome OS competitor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They were stupid not to give it away for free, with a paid upgrade path to the full version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Zuck says a lot of things. Reprinting his sales pitches as news is a disservice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x04 "A Space Adventure Hour"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve entered the mourning phase for Star Trek and have finally stopped watching. Similar to what happened with Doctor Who. Instead of telling good sci fi stories, it’s morphed into “Wow whacky can we be?” It’s all singing all dancing puppet show hour now.

  It doesn’t help that it’s on the “we fire people to please Trump” network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Puppets Explained, Sybok Teased, TAS Episode Scrapped, And More ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ SDCC Reveals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would much rather have seen a TAS-style SNW episode than puppets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inconsiderate fucks who litter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More than mildly infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 | SDCC Surprise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 | SDCC Surprise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They need new show runners. Paramount just got bought out by SkyDance, so we’ll see if they make any changes or leave this franchise on its current course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, not?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like something worth 50 cents at most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Android POS at work has 4 notifications but I can't clear them because their MDM locks the notification bar.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you ask the Android equivalent of Siri to “show me my notifications”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky age verification uk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t had a problem with NSFW content when that setting was turned on. There are occasionally shirtless pics of men There’s also a lot of clothed anime titties (think Lara Croft).

  If you’re really worried about what your children are going to see, you really should installed some sort of parental filter software. BlueSky is not the only app that can expose children to adult content.

  I believe there are also a lot of pre-made blocklists you can set up on blue sky that might help you. Though I have not tried that myself yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky age verification uk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Learn to install parental filtering on your device if you’re worried about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bringing Back Trelane | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did they finally retcon him into the Q continuum?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At Texas Flooding Hearing, State Officials Look Elsewhere for Blame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to blame Obama or Biden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don’t see articles like this about moms with three two jobs who still manage to take care of their kids.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the CEO behavior sounds like a mental illness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Akiva Goldsman On How ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Will End With Kirk In Command⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Fake Kirk”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Office problems on Windows 10? Microsoft’s response will soon be “upgrade to 11.”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Office 365 ran in a web browser?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much spacing while stopped at a red light?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should be able to see the ground under the back tires of the car in front of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Date set for millions of phones across UK to receive emergency alert test⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s hoping the UK does a better job with this than the US.

  1. Our emergency alerts go off far too often about things that aren’t emergencies.
  2. And when there is an emergency (like the floods in Texas this week) they don’t bother sending out an alert.
  3. And if they do bother, people don’t receive an alert because they’ve disabled them due to point 1.

  Safety costs money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We should be retaking driver tests every seven to ten years to keep our license.

  Poorly designed roads, signage, and intersections cause a lot of accidents. Think on ramps that throw you into traffic, and off-ramps that want you to get over three lanes after exiting in order to turn right at your cross street.

  Lack of traffic enforcement drives up insurance costs and reduces city revenues. Some states have cheaped out on the reflective paint used to stripe roads, so you can’t see lane dividers in the rain. More of that wonderful “deregulation” and people not wanting to pay taxes I guess.

  It also doesn’t help that many states are getting rid of car inspections for some bizarre reason. Not great to avoid shot falling off of the car in front of you when you’re going 70 mph.

  I wonder if this email could be legally binding document if somebody sued.

  Should’ve called it “Meshchat” or “Bluechat”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas; Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters’ ability to coordinate responses w/local emergency manager⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of finger pointing going on. We will probably never know who dropped the ball. And that’s probably by design.
