My, we are feeling bold aren't we?

Likewise, the melodrama is what killed it for me.

There are a lot of bad trek episodes scattered across every series. Bad episodes isn't the issue with Discovery. The issue is that, throughout all of trek, the crew has come together and stuck with each other through thick and thin. If there ever is inter-crew strife, it's solved in generally one or two episodes (except for major plot/story themes like the Maquis, or Seven being a Borg).

Discovery, on the other hand, is a show where the crew was constantly backstabbing, betraying, lying, and being all around bad towards each other. There was no finding solace among the crew in a world filled with strife -- the world was strife, and the crew was also strife. And whenever the inter-crew issues seemed like they could finally be resolved, some new stupid issue was shoehorned in. It was unbearable to watch because of the forced melodrama.

How is it that people are always coming up with zany untested solutions like "dump a fuckton of iron in the sea and see what happens" instead of doing the one thing we actually know how to do -- move to clean energy??? It's not like we don't have the solution. We just have to actually implement it.

It's also basically a laundry list of every talking point transphobes use. I feel very bad for the adult (not a child, as they try to paint him) here, but this is an anecdote being spun into a dishonest propaganda piece.

Same here. When I look at the microblog pages on some magazines, they seem to be full of random Mastodon posts from several months ago rather than new content. I have no issues with other Fediverse stuff showing up there, but why old stuff? Why nothing new? And why only select hashtags rather than universal? It's extremely bizarre and looks like a half-broken tech demo.

I'm a big fan of Kdenlive!

These comments... tell me you didn't watch the video without saying you didn't watch the video...

If you told me they made a comic about The Scarecrow getting kicked out of the Legion of Doom for being too nasty, I wouldn't believe you. But here we are.

It's the piece of corn in the turd.

I enjoyed seeing so many beloved characters again, and it had several very good moments, but seasons 1 and 2 did Jean-Luc dirty and S3 didn't make up for that.

Complaining in m/fediverse that people are talking about the fediverse...

The demo was really fun!

So... I hear you. But think about where it leads if there isn't a unified fight against Meta.

I see two possible scenarios:

1. Meta is acting in good faith, and they have no intention to EEE, and you get to interact with your friends on Meta/Threads/whatever forever.

2. You get to act with your friends for the short term, they get used to Threads, Meta gains a lot of traction and a huge chunk of the fediverse as it uses its huge sway and deep pockets to swallow up all the small servers... and then it defederates with everyone who isn't on Meta, and not only can you not talk with your friends anymore, but also there's so few people left to talk to because all the other instances have been swallowed up by Meta. You're left with no choice but to join Meta if you want to talk with your friends.

It's not that far fetched. Look at what happened with XMPP and Google Talk. I used to use Pidgin and talk with everyone using XMPP. Then Google shut it down and everyone went over to Google Talk/Chat/Hangouts/whatever the fuck it is now. Who is using XMPP these days??? It still exists, sure, but.....
