I'd argue that there are different categories of Trek-feel. TOS is different from TNG and DS9, and the "new Treks" are different from those TNG/DS9.

The new Treks are all much more modern and contemporary. The production styles are completely different, the underlying topics are much closer to reality. It is a completely different category of show, that just happens to take place in the same universe.

Whether that's a good thing or not, is up to debate. But arguing that "this is not my Trek anymore" is invalid, is just wrong.

Maybe because the original post seems awfully arrogant, if you don't know the context - and the post didn't provide any context.

I've seen a ton of responses like yours. You're implying that everyone gets the context, if they don't, you assume everything is "hostile" if it's not the exact line of thought you happen to support.

Accept that other people live different lives from yours and have different experiences and knowledge.

As a software engineer, this applies to my entire industry as well.

I'm forced to write subpar software, sometimes with atrocious security simply because some idiot set an unrealistic budget.

The worst part is, my current projects are all government funded. The German government implemented processes to prevent corruption, which force unhealthy competition and backhand corruption onto the bidders, which then churn out bad software, which causes gigantic costs down the line, because nothing works. Great job.

It's already starting to deflate somewhat.

Businesses realize that you actually can't make that much money using AI and investors should realize that their fancy AI companies can't recoup their expenses any time soon.

I feel really bad about my old MacBook. It was my trusty companion for 10 years, but now it's kind of forgotten and useless.

I tried to revive it a while ago, but it's too slow/hot to be useful for anything worthwhile and it's a real shame. It's still working fine, otherwise!

Maybe it's simply that the format changes a lot.

TNG is much different from TOS and some people don't like that style.

I can honestly say that I find Discovery extremely frantic, boring and way too contemporary, but that's just my expectation towards Trek. Others have different tastes.

Glad that he's taken advantage of.

Yeah, but number go up!

I still don't understand how all that infrastructure is supposed to be financed by just a handful of whales.

All those developers, analysts, designers, etc. could surely make more money in a proper business.

Das ist immer so. Guck ins dritte Reich, da waren Juden auch simultan wertlose Untermenschen und trotzdem hinterhältige Strippenzieher, die die ganze Welt kontrollieren.

Hintergrund ist ganz einfach, dass der Gegner eine Gefahr darstellen muss, damit jede Gewalt Selbstverteidigung und damit legitim ist, aber gleich muss er Gegner auch dehumanisiert werden, weil man sich sonst ja fragen müsste, ob man nicht zurecht "unten" ist.

Or requires a timestamp with zone offset, but ignores the zone offset, so you have to send the timestamp itself with a zone offset of zero relative to the systems timezone, but can't just omit the zone offset, because it's required.
