Totally. I would like to see what he would make today, with his more (as he describes it) mature perspective.

I love how he said he wanted the "God" in Star Trek V to be literally God and was talked out of it. But it is interesting hearing his perspective on that process of directing too.

She has a good line around 21 minutes about Enterprise taking a step back when it came to progressive politics, she describes it as "going back to the culture of the original Star Trek [series], and not the concept of the original Star Trek" which I thought was really well said.

This is the first I'm hearing of her book, it looks good and I've always liked Nana's willingness to speak out. I will have to check it out.

Thrall? That way people can use some of the quatloos we've been hoarding.

Boimler's facial hair project continues to get even more gross, the "growing the beard" joke that is for sure coming better be worth it!

That part cracked me up

Bluesky takes advantage of self hosters for more distribution and reliability, but still maintains centralized control over content and user management.

This is what I don't understand, why would anyone choose to host when there is zero advantage? I sort of feel is by design so they can claim "decentralized" while still having full control over the data.

 

"Sure, The Borg have been a bit of a problem. Their tendency toward mass assimilation and the stripping of individuality and personal freedom doesn’t exactly jibe with our idea of what makes a great leader. But let’s be honest. Kathryn Janeway hasn’t been perfect."

 
 

I quit as the top mod of /r/StarTrek in 2021 in protest against Reddit's platforming of vaccine disinformation subreddits. Then in 2023 during the API protest, myself and several of the remaining mods (including mods from /r/Risa and /r/DaystromInstitute) started StarTrek.website.

The consensus I've seen on Lemmy has been largely "we don't need to spread the word about our open platforms because Reddit will do something stupid again and there will be another protest and Lemmy will be promoted there". So I hope we can take this as a lesson that we can't rely on platforms being shitty in order to switch society over to open standards. We need to do our best to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed good as well as known.

 
 
 

Until Disco S3, "Living witness" was the furthest future we had seen in Star Trek. But Academy takes place after Discovery. At the end of "Living Witness" the Doctor is described as heading towards Earth.

Assuming the burn didn't get them, it's entirely possible two EMHs are surviving in Discovery's time. I think it would be a fun twist if it wasn't the EMH we expect!
