Privacy@lemmy.ml•How can I use social media anonymously?English
21·9 hours agoUse a VPN and also only share the most common, unoriginal thoughts, parrot the opinions of influencers, and never ever reveal anything that might hint at what makes you a unique soul flickering through the universe.
(basically act like a redditor)

5·1 day agoThis 100%. YouTube algorithm pushes people towards the most extreme stuff, soif you search for Star Trek you’ll eventually always end up on some ragebait “show”.

5·1 day agoI personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia
Discovery was a big hit, and although it had some nostalgic elements in the first season, it very quickly became it’s own thing and had a unique style.
SNW also seems to be pretty popular and features TOS characters, but even though it’s set in TOS era I wouldn’t say it’s appealing to nostalgia.
SFA is another one that very much it’s own thing and is NOT relying on nostalgia.
Lower Decks and PIC absolutely appeal to nostalgia, but those also seem to be much less popular with general audiences.
Just saying- that if I was a Paramount big wig I think it makes more sense to take the franchise where no star trek show has gone before, rather than backwards. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
Sorry what did you mean by “Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward”? A fork of what?
Is there a list of sources this pulls from?

So it’s not technically Chromium anymore? It’s a fork of Chromium?

Quark's@startrek.website•Paramount’s new, hostile offer to Warner Bros. Discovery: Larry Ellison will personally guarantee $40 billion | CNN BusinessEnglish
1·4 days agoDo they think anyone is actually watching CNN? I know it’s the enemy of the conservative movement, but I don’t know a single person (Liberal, Centrist, Conservative or otherwise) who would even entertain the idea of actively changing the channel to CNN and watching it.
CNN’s primary viewership is doctor’s office waiting room occupants. I have to assume conservatives are just so deep into their own lore that they actually believe CNN is influential at all.

2·4 days agoHe’s one of those 80 year old moguls that wants to live forever and look like a 20 year old but is too rich for anyone to tell him he is in the uncanny valley.
Say what you will about Richard Branson but at least the man isn’t ashamed to look in the mirror.

It was my understanding that moving forward full fat UBO would not work on any modern Chromium browser, but I’m admittedly not enough of an expert to know better.
It’s Chromium based, doesn’t that mean uBlock isn’t going to work as well?

I’m certainly with you on this!

31·6 days agoteen drama
Can you expand what you mean by this? I have heard this criticism before but nobody has been able to provide me an example from the show of what they mean.
Just so we’re on the same page, I haven’t seen a single example of drama that I would consider functionally different in form or quantity than any other Star Trek show. There is drama yes, and there are also teenagers. But in my opinion every “teenager” on SFA is far less “dramatic” than (for example) Wesley or Jake and I cannot recall anyone criticizing TNG or DS9 for being a “teen drama”.

141·6 days agoYou are. I had zero desire to watch it myself, put it on because I was bored, and now I’m literally counting the days until each new episode. Episode 4 in particular was everything I love about Star Trek.
