I haven't seen it and I won't, because almost every time they do these TV show reboots of film, it ends up being the same relationship drama shlock you see in every other show nowadays, basically universe flavored Danielle Steele novels.

Religion sells certainty. The world is a big unknowable mystery, and that's scary. So people are inclined to listen to anyone who is full of certainty and claims to know everything and how it all works and what to do.

Fair enough. I just consider it quicker wikipedia, especially for very simple lookups. For what it's worth, I googled "gopher", which, shockingly, showed me pictures of gopher. "Gopher network" showed me an online network dedicated to gophers. XD

I 100% get the AI hate, but it did explain it to me, pointed me to a browser, which I installed, and now I'm on Gemini, so I learned something and gemini got a new user.

Thank god that at least they made them ask. Another thing I'm massively happy for is GDPR. I keep getting mails in my inbox for all sort of random accounts I don't remember signing up for that I probably just checked out once and forgot about, asking me if they can keep my data, please, because if I don't reply then they can't, and they would REALLY REALLY LIKE TO C'MON FRIEND BE MY FRIEND
