- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x07 "What Is Starfleet?" 1 week ago:
I think the writers were too committed to the documentary format but since documentaries don’t switch their mind half way, they got the worst of all options. the format does not work and they lost the opportunity to use a good story and critique starfleet in an interesting way.

Im surprised this is cheaper (barely) than the Fiat 500e. is it because tariffs or something? the fiat is cheaper in Europe (around 24k€)

- Comment on How ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Used a Murder Mystery to Pay Homage to Shatner, Roddenberry and the Original Series: ‘We Didn’t Have Any Adult Supervision’ 3 weeks ago:
I enjoyed the episode a lot. The USS adventure bits were hilarious , but I did wish the murder mystery was better. It seemed just like a pretext for all the meta stuff.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Showunners Talk 32nd Century Setting And How The Ship Is Part Of The School 4 weeks ago:
actually, looking at the trailer there are 2 cadets of the Red squadron from USS Valiant in the wall:
- Karen Farris
- Dorian Collins, The sole survivor, though in the wall the appear she is listed as ACPO (acting chief petty officer).
Unfortunately the wall seems to be more an easter egg than anything meaningful.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Showunners Talk 32nd Century Setting And How The Ship Is Part Of The School 4 weeks ago:
and Red Squadron in TNG “The First Duty”.
I think Uhura was also a cadet in SNW first season
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' first look welcomes cadets, Paul Giamatti's alien 5 weeks ago:
one of the photos shows a wall with many known names. it seems nothing interesting happened in starfleet between LD and DSC.
also. why is Joseph Mbenga listed as CDR instead of CMDR? (assuming it is him)

- Comment on UK unis sign up to £10M Oracle Java subscription framework 2 months ago:
I guess is people were using the oracle VM without license and were caught. Oracle makes it very easy to not notice that the Java distribution you download requires payment.
- Comment on UK unis sign up to £10M Oracle Java subscription framework 2 months ago:
they are tons of cheaper and free java vendors. There is little reason to choose Oracle’s

- Comment on Mario Kart World | Review Thread 2 months ago:
I’ve been enjoying the game a lot. My kids did complain that the battle mode is so barebones. 8 had a lot of battle modes. Going back to just balloons and coins is not great.
But I haven’t seen reviews complaining about this so I guess nobody really cares

- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 3 months ago:
I think that if that was feasible a successful protect would exist already to develop . it is not like people does not want it to exist. sure, there are tons of projects making variations of existing browsers but none of them do much besides minor tweaks.
From the top of my head Servo is the closest one and it has a big head start since mozilla developed originally. and that is just an engine, not a full browser.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 3 months ago:
I think you underestimate the costs of development.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 3 months ago:
while they have made a lot of dumb decisions, they are also in an almost impossible situation. every time they try to diversify their income they get hammered hard by the community.

- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 6 months ago:
also I don’t think they offer e2e encryption for what the UK demanded.
afaik they provide e2ee for messages and mail but not photos or drive, which apple did encrypt e2e when ADP was enabled.
- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 6 months ago:
the current law does not allow them to no comply. they can go to court, but they would be required to comply in the meantime.
unfortunately the UK law says not complying is a criminal offense, not just an administrative un compliance. so apple employees would be liable to criminal charges.
this is very bad but it’s the draconian UK laws the problem here.
- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 6 months ago:
I’m conflicted on what would have been the best course of action.
if they would have fought this (in private) I assume people would assume they were complying. so the only option would have been to break UK law and fight it publicly. I am not sure that was feasible.
but this also just creates a precedent for other countries push apple to do the same
