If they had gone with my plan of 24 seasons of 24 episodes each then there would have been plenty of room for both!

It's an objectively better plan I don't understand why they didn't listen to me

I believe Firefox is completely FOSS.

Looks like it is! I was under the apparently false impression that it was only partly.

Well, because FOSS apps are usually the best/most user friendly option even if they're not always the most popular. If you woke up after a 30 year coma and had no prior commitments to using any particular software, there would be absolutely zero question that Linux is the best OS today.

An OS is a complicated thing, yet the FOSS option is the safest, most user friendly, and most versatile. I'm just a little surprised there isn't a browser that checks those boxes too, since the browser is a widely used thing. But I'm guessing because Firefox exists the number of devs willing to give the time investment just isn't as many.

I'm not saying that nobody does this, but the idea that there is a widespread problem of people prioritizing GPT over their own cognition for a majority of their decision making has "trying to create a new moral panic" written all over it.

I'm not under the impression that a web browser is a simple thing to build but with Linux advancing the way it has in recent years it continues to surprise me that the "best" browser out there isn't FOSS.

Hopefully that is about to change!

Is one of those people Matt fucking Groening? Because otherwise it's a stupid claim. Did Sean Hannity create the Simpsons?

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 40 points 4 days ago (8 children)

im not sure if youre joking but matt groening created the simpsons which is a fictional cartoon that premiered on fox broadcasting company, an entirely different company than news corp which created fox news and which existed nearly a decade before the simpsons did.

1980 - News corp created

1989 - The Simpsons airs

why would Matt Groening do this

Ohhh I totally misread your comment. Whew!

 

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"

Someone should probably jump in and explain what federation means.
