How did you set them up with Plex?

I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn't have great customization like "Only keep latest two episodes". It might have changed since then.

I love TOS because Kirk was a renegade rule breaker who had lots of sex, and Spock was stoic and never showed emotion ever. Also is there a more iconic phrase than "Beam me up Scotty"?

I'm not trying to encourage those people, but just speaking personally... I wouldn't mind a spinoff that involved a gallant and diverse crew figuring out how to pet a different alien puppy every week.

This actually explains about 90% of my questions surrounding Voyager

The "this specific person (who happens to be a woman and black but that has nothing to do with it I swear) must be punished for being a naughty bad girl" fantasies always make me super uncomfortable BUT it's nice to see someone not calling Burhnam an overly perfect Mary Sue for once.

LPT just buy a Ring doorbell instead

I'd also like to highlight that the Federation is never described in-universe as a Utopia (the only example that comes to mind is Pelia sarcastically describing Earth specifically as a "no money, socialist utopia").

Since the TOS days the messaging has always kinda been that "Utopia" is about the journey more than the destination.

Fortunately it's a big galaxy

Yeah exactly, it's about what goes in, not what comes out.

 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.

 

Will LineageOS, Graphene and /e/OS be affected by Google's changes to prevent sideloading? Is UbuntuTouch or Sailfish OS promising in the long term?

I understand that right now we are in a bad place, but in your opinion, what OS do you think people who care about freedom should rally around?

 

Not my OC I brazenly stole from @moregaghplease@startrek.website on reddit

 

Yes I know I'm behind everyone else!

First the away team spends a long time debating if they should proceed or... step outside for five seconds to call the ship. They ultimately decide that stepping outside for five seconds is not feasible.

But then literally one minute later Ensign Gamble is somehow beamed up. Presumably they must have called the ship to do this? Did they just... leave out the part about the (now obvious and real) danger? Was there a scene where Pike said "ok yeah his eyes are gone but you can keep going"?

Then later in the episode the away team spends a long time talking about trust and friendship while debating if they should walk on an invisible walkway instead of just like, I don't know, tapping it lightly with their toe or throwing a pebble on it first?

The Ensign Gamble B-plot was good and freaky and featured some great acting by everyone involved. But the A plot felt like it was vibe-scripted! I love SNW but come on.
