  which episode did you watch? I get people not liking the humor, but LD has never stroke me as cynical at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The iPhone 17 square selfie camera is a bigger deal than you think⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how it would be fake. people have cropped photos to change framing for a long time and no one called it fake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The iPhone 17 square selfie camera is a bigger deal than you think⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure most people expectation are the standard aspect ratios. But probably there will be some third party camera app that will allow this (like they allow raw)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The iPhone 17 square selfie camera is a bigger deal than you think⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yes. it is a square sensor that the phone crops automatically to be a a rectangle. so it can take photos on landscape or portrait no matter if the phone physically vertical or horizontal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  the free coffee for employees, probably.

  they also play a big role in Into Darkness (not that anyone cares about that one…)

  Pike was so stiff. no idea why

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨best episodes for people who've never seen star trek?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the trouble with tribbles, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x07 "What Is Starfleet?"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nissan announces 2026 Leaf pricing, starting at $29,990⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved that shot of him looking at the chair. he seemed even intimidated by it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  could the people who say they are not going to watch it please fulfill their promise so we don’t have to deal with their complaints later?

• ⁨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’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so. Most people I know keep their phones from 3 to 5 years, sometimes more.

  they are also confusing the software with the firefox brand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK unis sign up to £10M Oracle Java subscription framework⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  they are tons of cheaper and free java vendors. There is little reason to choose Oracle’s

  what exactly do you mean by “locking down” in this context?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart World | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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

  and it requires line of sight which means it is hard to scale, will have issues with adverse climate and probably will need frequent realigments

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you underestimate the costs of development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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.

  I’m so tired of the EPP. Also I wish these outlets where better at reporting anything related to the EU. do know there are parties like there are parties in the US? all this shit comes from the EPP.
