Dozens of us! Dozens, I say!
(But I do like Star Trek and use Linux, I just don’t make my presence here revolve around that.)

Masks is peak TNG, fite me lol
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'm still two seasons out from that, looked it up but stopped reading because it's 7 years since my last watch and I'm trying to get the freshness of that gap without spoiling the details but yeah I'll fight you anyway.
FLUE EPISODE FTW!
Tell you what though...I may reply to you in two months and give you an oul fistbump.
Edit: also....hadouken! I did like Sagat too though in fairness. Guile too.

i tried mint as my first ever linux, not counting whatever it was that i tried for like a minute in the late 90s, and it was fine, but i was looking for a gaming linux. manjaro worked ok for a while before i somehow borked it beyond recognition, and then i tried garuda which i was somehow laughably 50x worse with. now i'm on POP_OS! (eEeEwWw) which has a lot of things that suck, but has worked the best for me so far. i built a brand new pc specifically to ditch windows for linux
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I put Mint on a 2010 iMac a few months ago and just today put Kubuntu on a 8th gen Intel dual booting Windows 10. Both seem to work well, though kubuntu didn’t find the audio driver for the PC and gives a Wayland error on boot (Fcitx something or other, I believe).

Ah leftist infighting goes all the way back to the French Revolution in fairness but... Yeah I can't disagree. Like I'm a male shiny white western Linux user who loves Star Trek.
I'm like those lads you see in cargo shorts and sandals on holiday. FML.
Absolute basic Lemmy user.

Each to their own but think you should highlight the failings of Jellyfin.
Mainly:
- Remote access is not a trivial feat, especially when compared to Plex
- The UI is janky.
The first point is valid, but it only applies to you as the server admin and not the remote users. And honestly it was stuff worth learning for me, as somebody who is not on the IT/web end of things.
But the UI being janky? I don't know about that. Static images of the screens may look better to you on the Plex side, and that's just preference. But when it comes to lag, hitching, did that click register, having the server scan the media library, and just about every other performance thing I can think of, Jellyfin seems SO much better to me.

We all start somewhere, even if it's the smelliest pink taco.
Smelly you say? May I recommend you apply some Mint with Cinnamon to spruce up that computer of yours?
Take the most popular (for now) distro in Ubuntu, remove the proprietary Canonical stuff that makes people say eww, and give the UI some polish and you basically have Linux Mint. And if you REALLY want to reject Ubuntu in its entirety, they do have LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).

Hahaha
It's half the reason everyone treats Janeway as a criminal. Like yeah overall she's a fantastic captain. But she did straight up murder tuvix! He begged for life!
If it's any help, that show is a hot mess. There are some absolute banger eps, I absolutely love most of the cast, but on average it's underwhelming.
The guy who made BSG ranted a bit about working on Voyager. Apparently they weren't allowed to change anything. Everything had to reset by the end of the episode. In a series about being stranded.
He begged for life!
I'm mixed-race but it wasn't just seeing a mixed-race person sent to the death chamber. What really got to me was the way the character just wanted to get their work done but they were dragged away in a cold and bureaucratic way. They whimpered like a child being dragged from their parents. The kid was terrified but they still wanted to be obedient. It wasn't that they were hoping to be saved by obedience, it's that they were just an obedient kid, even when scared. The way when they begged to go on living, everyone else just stared and didn't even move or react. They never really cared for that person anyway, the character's kinda funny-looking anyways. If they made a fuss there might have been trouble. It's not like any of them is some kind of hero. The only one to object was that holographic doctor, who was always treated as a joke. Because only a crazy person or a clown would go against the group. I looked it up online and the situation is never referenced again in any series. It was not an issue to anyone. All those people, the whole organization, the whole perspective of the show, to me is repulsive.
But I was kind of a nervous kid, so I recognize it's just my point of view.

I don't watch star trek. A bit too "outdated" for my liking (am Gen Z).
I like The Expanse, The Orville, and Dark Matter (2015)

Starting from the beginning is the absolute best, in my opinion. The original series is so much fun, and as much as I love TNG and others, I know that nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had. It was prime time, mainstream, and riding the energy that the country had for space in the 1960s, with a message of hope and cooperation. That being said, prepare for a decent mix of goofiness too, lol.
nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had.
That's part of the reason why I probably wouldn't recommend old trek first to somebody. We don't have the benefit of being able to go back to the cultural moment of the '60s Trek.
I compare it to how Wizard of Oz is a great movie, but you can't really experience the transition to color that happened in the movie the same way someone in 1939 did. Plenty of TV shows were still in black and white all the way into the '60s.

That reminds me. I need to rewatch DS:9
Currently rewatching as my bedtime show, still great

Everyone hates on gnuTrek
Discovery sucks but all the rest are fantastic, Prodigy is a kids show and still fits right in while continuing Janeway’s story

There is some really terrible original Trek, whose only defense is being a product of the time. That said, you will still see the first interracial kiss on broadcast TV. The first season of The Next Generation is pretty stilted, but is still decent in my opinion. And, as is the overarching theme for Trek, questions about who, what, and why we are will be asked, and sometimes answers will be proposed.
The Gorn was laughable, but in SNW they are legitimately terrifying. The fact that every series has ties and often callbacks to others in the timeline is one of my favorite things about Trek, like Doctor Who it’s been going for decades but every part of the history is fodder for more exploration. DS9s Tribble episode is a great example, editing Sisko and Dax in behind Kirk and Spock

I'm Gen z too, you are wrong, StarTrek is awesome, specially the original series.

Yeah, the Gorn were so ridiculous, but also gave rise to Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. The Tribbles were also ridiculous, but so fun, and a great nostalgic nod to TOS in DS9.

The expanse is so good, and the books, and audiobooks are even better. I'm just finishing 6th audio book and while I loved the show the audio book (and book) are on another level. Highly recommend to anyone who likes space and sci-fi.
