Oh was that why they threw the tomato sauce on that one painting? Now it all makes sense

Lots of work cleaning up the mess for the rest of us? Of course at a high price

The CGI was done in 4:3 for budget reasons, so CGI and composite shots are only available in 4:3 (which then had to be cropped for 16:9 later on), which is why the CGI looks terrible. At least in the earlier seasons, afaik later on rights were acquired by some network that wanted 16:9 and so from that point forward CGI was also in 16:9

Kurzsichtig? Das ist doch ne investition in die Zukunft, damit man in 5-10 Jahren immer noch nachhaltig Politik gegen Migranten die sich 'nicht integrieren wollen' machen kann…

I think there's still a lot of room to explore without abandoning the utopia setting. like we usually only see the spaceship stuff, but what about a more political drama taking place on member worlds, that kind of thing, i think it could be amazing.

also, as you say, it's been done for 60 years. Might as well do the same thing over again for a new generation that hasn't seen tos/tng/ds9. They don't know it yet, so it's not overused, and the TOS audience wouldn't be the target audience anyways. and could still explore new topics. the audience isn't the same, our world isn't the same, making the same show again would still not be boring as it be a completely different thing.

Both approaches can work imo and have a place, without the need to go more dystopia.

Plus firefox mostly exists because google pays them, probably so there's no anti-trust action against them.

Don't know about the second point, but on the first, there's a online newspaper here that does it pretty well. It's like 240$ a year, but with the option to pay however little/much you want. the articles can be shared freely (no paywall, though i think since a year ago you need to enter your email to read, used to be completely free to share), but can't be discovered/found unless you're subscibed. it's split into two legal entities, the newspaper that employs the journalists and a second non-profit that actually collects the payments and that every subscriber is allowed to vote in, elect leadership for etc. that works out guidelines for the newspaper part to follow.

has been working pretty well for several years now and it's one of the last few places of quality, independent journalism in my country

How has china not been able to make it work? Or do you mean hardware specifically? Because with Google and Meta stuff banned, among others, I'd say they've gotten pretty far

Ah but don't worry, there's also skills for scanning skills for security risks, so all good /s

They also have a 'skill' sharing page (a skill is just a text document with instructions) and depending on config, the bot can search for and 'install' new skills on its own. and agyone can upload a skill. So supply chain attacks are an option, too.

So you're saying i can't just point behind him and shout 'is that jesus'? Well, that changes things

Oh didn't realize Catholicism has a Highlander thing going on. I can take a 70 year old guy, no problem!

That's one series I wouldn't mind a modern day reboot of.
