Honestly this is the type of content I would prefer to hear a Trekkie's perspective on.

Sorry just seeing this, looks like there is a Home Assistant addon yes. Yunohost is very similar but seems to be more popular, so I'd say try both and see what you like.

Just seeing this post, I didn't know this was a thing that could happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing some Pre-S1 TOS. I don't think Season 1 was ever canonically the first year of the five year mission.

You can throw darts at her photograph on your own wall.

Wait what? lol I like Burhnam. I was arguing with the guy who was making shit up to hate on her!

Was it the neighborhoods?

Do you have any evidence to support your claim? I looked it up and I didn't see anything about "redemption" necessitating the fawning over of the redemptee by others, so until someone claims otherwise I'm going to believe Mr. Webster.

I'm so confused by this comment. Season three is literally (literally) about "a Federation that keeps adapting, improving, and ultimately continuing as a positive force moving forward through the dedicated collaboration of an infinitely-diverse collaboration of peoples" even in the face of overwhelming odds to the contrary.

Well said, Enterprise is my least favorite... until Season 4 which I consider to be some of my favorite Star Trek.

But same goes for Discovery! I appreciated what they were trying to do but it didn't click with me. And then seasons 4 and 5 I consider to be some of Trek's best.

Thank you for the sanity. I get so tired hearing Burhnam being held to such an obvious double standard. I wonder why? What is different about the character?

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 3 points 3 weeks ago

OMG you're so right.

lol

Honestly I'm so used to hearing the same tired old arguments I didn't even process that.

You're suggesting that redemption from disgrace is the same as "everyone else fawning over how great she is and what they’d do without her"?

It just feels awfully weird to me that your list of criteria that makes a show "hateable" only applies to this particular show. And when another show checks off the items, the list suddenly stops being "hateable items" and instead becomes a list of minor nitpicks.

I just can't figure out what the difference is, what could it be about Discovery in particular that would cause you to hold this list of criteria with such gravitas, but when the listed items appear on a different show, you don't seem to mind? What could the difference be?

 

Here's a TechCrunch article on the topic too.

First of all I love this idea, especially for nonprofits, universities and governments.

My biggest question is how moderation will work. The "point" of federation is that each instance can moderate their own way, but presumably the paid moderation will be in the style of mastodon.social, which isn't bad, but not exactly in the spirit of the Fediverse.

 

Pretty freaky article, and it doesn't surprise me that chatbots could have this effect on some people more vulnerable to this sort of delusional thinking.

I also thought this was very interesting that even a subreddit full of die-hard AI evangelists (many of whom have an already religious-esque view of AI) would notice and identify a problem with this behavior.

 

Thought this was a really interesting read and felt my fellow Website enjoyers might think so too.
