Well written. Earth's utopia seems to exist (or not) as is relevant to the plot at hand. But if there is one thing Star Trek drills into it's messaging over and over and over again, it's that the work, the brutally difficult work to get one centimeter closer to that "impossible" utopia is what motivates starfleet.

Honestly, all of the new bucket of frequently parroted opinions only make sense if you don't pay attention. I saw one recently calling SFA "edgy teenage drama with bullying". "Edgy" is the furthest thing from what SFA is. It's the biggest let's-work-together-and-support-our-friends piece of media I might have ever seen. It's comfort food.

I have to assume these people go straight from the ragebait youtubers to reddit/lemmy comments without ever stopping to watch the show.

EDIT: omg there's literally someone in this thread calling it "dark and edgy".

The upscaled version you'll find online is not good. The best way is to find the least compressed DVD version you can. It looks great.

If the performance was even the slightest bit off an appearance like could have easily come off like nostalgia-bait, but it truly felt like this was SAM's episode and he was a hologram in a history computer.

Last time I looked into it something wasn't working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I'll give it another go...

Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer...

This is the content I come here for 🖖/5

I agree with this. It's installing an app. Installing a program to a computer you own should never be considered "unofficial"!

I was hoping that's what something like the Section 312 movie might be about since genetically altered people seem to be the only true "outcasts" in the Federation (at lease on paper).

An excellent episode and would easily have been my favorite for the season if not for "Vox in Excelso".

As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.

That's the business model sadly.
