  • See: Memory Alpha (shows, movies), vs. Memory Beta (that, plus everything else)

  • What he did wasn't noble, but it was for the good of the entire Alpha Quadrant. I don't think it's unfair to say that he was almost always on the "right" side of things throughout DS9.

  • That is hilariously untrue. The USSR and PRC are the biggest and worst examples. Every other historically socialist country was generally more bad than good. Yes, there have been some tendencies in socialist countries to e.g. dramatically improve education and literacy, but generally at the cost of the people's political liberties, the government taking political prisoners, mass killings, speech being censored, etc.

  • I can tell you more about them, but obviously you're correct that they're nowhere near as developed as the other 90s Trek shows.

    -T'Pol might be the best Vulcan character in the franchise next to SNW Spock. She has a tinge of that Enterprise Vulcan arrogance, becomes less emotionally-guarded as she spends more time among humans, has an interesting moderate attitude toward humans, and probably has the best acting on the show.

    -Phlox is the best doctor in the franchise, fight me.

    -Reed is a British weirdo

    -Mayweather is an overly peppy cornily-acted son of a freighter captain raised in space

  • To show the audience Jolene Blalock's oiled up tummy and thighs, it's that simple

  • If I read Harry Potter and wrote a novel of my own, no doubt ideas from it could consciously or subconsciously influence it and be incorporated into it. Hey is that any different from what an LLM does?

  • So every company remodeled after REI, got it.

  • As part of the copy chain, you need to feed the ChatGPT output into a handwriting neural network you trained in your own handwriting, then have the 3D printer draw it.

  • Are you sure that's true? All content from all other federated servers are hosted on all other servers? That certainly doesn't sound right; I thought that the fediverse protocol just allowed us access to other servers running the protocol, not that our instance actually runs content from their instance.

  • Federation does not by definition require giving admins the ability to censor content. The Fediverse implementation unfortunately does, but it sure didn't need to.

  • Seriously. The Switch is a piece of shit and it looks beautiful and plays well and has so much depth and complexity. Sure, it doesn't have raytracing, but have you seen those sunsets?

  • This is not an option for most people and will consequently hurt and potentially kill Lemmy as a whole.

  • There's a certain irony to celebrating the admins building a wall between two communities as "freedom".

  • Blocking them will just serve to isolate them more. You don't solve problems by closing off everyone who disagrees with each other into a thousand little bubbles.

  • True socialism, not just a mixed economy, will invariably be authoritarian. People will never democratically take it that far; history shows this.

  • ...But then, you risk e.g. lemmy.world and other big instances defederating from your new instance. Lemmy has some design problems.

  • You do? To be frank, I rarely do unless I'm unfamiliar with the intersection, and neither do 95% of the other people I see on the road. I live in the US.
