- Comment on Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW? 5 months ago:
No, there’s an offhand mention or two, but nothing impactful. The most important tie is Pike being aware of his fate, but they recap that pretty thoroughly.
- Comment on T-Mobile's New AI "Profiling" Privacy Toggle Is On By Default 7 months ago:
This toggle allows you to opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
The what now?
This sounds strangely ominous.
- Comment on Weston Wamp, Helton, Several Legislators Urge VW Workers Not To Vote In UAW 7 months ago:
Oh, are these legislators planning to pass laws cracking down in wage theft, safety violations and guaranteeing a living wage with basic healthcare and retirement benefits?
No?
Then they can fuck off.
- Comment on ‘Section 31’ Movie Director Says It’s A “Different” Star Trek + New Character Details Revealed 7 months ago:
I will always root for Trek to succeed. I’m hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn’t too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.
- Comment on Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more 8 months ago:
Democratic Gov Tim Walz, who vetoed a bill last year that would have boosted pay for Uber and Lyft drivers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was concerned because so many depend on those services, including disabled people.
I get the sentiment, but relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid. That’s how Minneapolis got in this situation.
- Comment on A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this? 9 months ago:
Oh, I very much doubt that he’s the only billionaire who’s written a letter like this to Google in the past year.
- Comment on New Star Trek Movie Director Is A Fan And Directed The ‘Black Mirror’ Trek Episode “USS Callister” 10 months ago:
The impact to the timeline form the Narada affected the timeline before that point as well because it affected subsequent time travel (allllll the times SNW, TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, etc. went into the past would have occurred differently)
- Comment on HP sued (again) for blocking third-party ink from printers, accused of monopoly 10 months ago:
Unless they’re really into arts and crafts, there’s no good reason for a home user to buy an inkjet anymore.
If every once in a while they want a nice photo print or to print up some flyers in color or something, it’s cheaper and less overall hassle to just pay per page at a drug store or office store on those occasions.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 1 year ago:
They share it amongst themselves via third party consulting firms already. This just gives the public visibility.
- Comment on Is It Still Worth Going to the Movies? 1 year ago:
Usually not, but I finally live somewhere with an Alamo nearby and those are a nice experience and they enforce good behavior. We don’t see a lot of movies in the theater, but when we do, that’s where we go and we’ve been going more often as a result.
- Comment on Is It Still Worth Going to the Movies? 1 year ago:
I also find that a lot of theatres are too loud now, but maybe my ears are getting old.
I do too and I’ve probably damaged my hearing in my youth by being careless & invincible. I bought a set of fancy concert earplugs ($30ish) that protect hearing without muffling the sound and they were well worth it. They fit in a little capsule on my keychain so I’ve got them if I wind up someplace unexpectedly loud.
- Comment on Sneak Peek – Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 10 – Finale 1 year ago:
I don’t think 24 episodes will be happening any time soon, but it would be nice to have 12-14. Ten is so few, and with the ongoing strikes, it’s going to be a while until another season happens.
