I feel like I'm going fucking crazy, like this didn't happen already. He turns the entire American public against him, they vote him out so overwhelmingly that even their election fraud and foreign interference and owning all media outlets can't save him, and then the entire country gets fucking amnesia and swallows the propaganda hook line and sinker, rinse and repeat.

It'd be like Yesterday except you'd have license to invent basically all forms of popular music.

It's not everyone in the country! Just hundreds of thousands living in swing states in counties that don't actually exist.

The people I'm talking about would struggle with Reddit, let alone Lemmy. To paraphrase Lt. Commander Nella Daren; 'You're more online than you think you are."

What would TNG's first season have if it was standalone and came out today

I can't believe nobody said Star Trek. In the 70s you had reruns of the original series and the animated series short run. TMP didn't come around until the end of the decade. I wasn't there, but I imagine a 70s trekky would be damn grateful to have all the Trek we have today and they'd probably even love Academy (All the older not chronically online fans I know rave about it).

Edit: regardless of your personal opinion on nu trek, the answer fits the question. A trek fan from the 70s would be blown away by having 13 series and 14 movies available to watch on demand, plus books, games, etc.

Can't wait for this revolution in wildlife photography.

Also a good restatement of the comment I'm replying to, yes.

I haven't tried this yet myself, but it's a project I've been keeping a fairly anticipatory eye on: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-adobe-installers/

The entire mission is to seek out new life and new civilizations and establish relations with them! Countless times you've put your entire crew second to that mission, and yet here you are face to face with a 3 million year old intelligent being made of magnetic energy that has absorbed all the knowledge of other long dead civilizations, pleading with you for just some company, and you give it the cold shoulder. Heartbreaking.

 

The new album has gotten a lot of hate from the community, and I admit I was apprehensive at first, and I wasn't too into the singles. As a cohesive piece, though, I find it endlessly relistenable. I just put it on loop and it's the perfect background to my day.

Anyone else really digging it?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nikolai Patrushev, aid to Putin, has accused the U.S. and the U.K. of intending to sabotage underwater internet cables and planning to destabilize the maritime energy trade.

Citing U.S. officials, CNN reported in September that Russia was developing a sabotage unit with submarines and drones to target underwater infrastructure by order of the defense ministry's Main Directorate for Deep- Sea Research (GUGI).

A Swedish investigation found evidence of sabotage on the pipelines between Russia and Germany. Moscow had initially accused the U.S. Probes by Sweden and Denmark were closed in February 2024 without identifying those responsible, although a German investigation is ongoing.

Media in Norway have reported concerns at the presence in the last few weeks of the Russian intelligence ship Yantar in international waters alongside its coast near critical seabed infrastructure such as oil and gas pipelines and cables for internet and telecommunications.
