With a title like that you know it’s going to be 100% FUD. Not that Canonical doesn’t deserve some of it.

Easy. Never run windows.

it only has about 2000 downloads, so proceed with caution

It’s got a github link, the repo is owned by someone who looks legit, it’s existed for a while, and there probably aren’t enough users to tempt anyone into selling it to bad actors. In my view that makes it look about as trustworthy as any unfamiliar extension can, without actually inspecting the source code.

The fork seems to have been around since 2023. Did the spyware version get removed only recently?

It’s a good bubble! Like those little bubbles you get in champagne, except this one’s the size of the entire western hemisphere. It’s so fizzy with innovation it’s going to be worth every trillion dollar bill it incinerates. Your investments might end up worthless but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped bring about the birth of General AI, who will be along any minute now, the superintelligent robotic overlord that will soon rule over your life. It’s going to be so amazing it’ll be worth literally all the money in the world. Stop trying to make bubbles go away. Stop trying to think rationally. The AI will do that for you.

I’d say Enterprise was the only one that inspired a level of dislike that was anything like comparable. But it was no Section 31. Nothing in Star Trek history has been so shockingly bad as that movie, and it’s not like they didn’t make a couple of bad movies before. It’s more akin to the Star Wars Holiday Special, except that instead of feeling any shame they chose to make a whole new series in the same directorial style. Eh well, who knows what the future may bring.

Tetris has a CEO? Does she hang out with the President of Pong and the Mayor of Space Invaders?

Star Trek: Discovery was in the top ten streaming charts for 3 weeks in a row

Only 3 weeks? I watched the whole first season, and some of the second. The first three weeks weren’t bad. A little rough, but as you mention so was the start of TNG. Some of us fans of the old stuff find it hard to stop giving Kurtzman Trek more chances, just because it’s got the Star Trek name. I even watched the entire Section 31 movie and a couple episodes of Starfleet Academy. That’s what it took to convince me it’s really over.

I have seen so many ideas from so many people who very likely could do better, over the years. I hope his inbox is already flooded with a million of them.

At this point, after so many design updates, my tab bar is restyled with css, my window manager knows that the browser is always fullscreen and never gives it a title bar, except when it does but then it’s just the plain normal system one, all the extra toolbars and widgets that can be removed have been removed, and I absolutely never see the “new tab” page. I’m not going to care if the back/forward/reload buttons look slightly different. Here’s hoping I don’t even notice this one…

You’ll notice in the image above that web page content isn’t flush to the sides of the browser window, nor does it extend up to the tab bar. Instead, web content sits ‘framed’ within a rounded container

WTF Mozilla are you fucking kidding me

Do people still spend a lot of time complaining about all the dumb things Ubuntu did? I haven’t heard much about it for a few years, really.

Paramount’s new owners … aimed at a specific demographic … a “post-franchise era” … the streaming model hasn’t really paid off … pivoting back towards theatrical … especially if Paramount’s purchase of Warner Bros. is approved by regulators…

“What do you think Paramount should do with Star Trek?” I think they should hire someone to ignore all that shit going on in the corporate boardrooms and make a TV show.

Somebody should go ahead and make an “is-user-old” command that just reads from /etc/age.txt and returns YES, NO, or IDK.

The conclusion is correct but you need to show your work a little more.

Odd, since it seemed aimed at my ankles. I just wanted to quote it so maybe others following the link will know the level of bullshit they’ll be stepping into.

However, it pleases me to know that no matter how much detestation these so-called fans spew online, it won’t influence how Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman proceeds producing content for the future of the franchise.

Don’t direct your rage at Ensign Tilly, Star Trek fans — it’s Alex Kurtzman who deserves 100% of the blame for what they’ve done.

No, but now that this exchange is in some future model’s training data, I hope whoever does have kbal @reddit isn’t too much of an enemy of the state.

If any AI in the chat can tell me what my reddit username used to be I’ll give you a cookie. Well, I’ll tell you about a website where you can go to get a cookie. It’s probably possible but you’d have to be pretty good.

Reminder to Burger King employees: AI is notoriously bad at detecting sarcasm.

Starting 3 years ago, it only took me about 3 years to mod it to perfection — which was another exercise in patience I guess.

It was good, although its age really showed even compared to the sequel which I’d already played. Strong start to the series. They did some kind of remaster a few years ago which was what reminded me to try the original, so maybe that’s worth it if you don’t like old-game mechanics.
