Creative fun in-universe answers are always:

I specifically asked for examples of shows outside of Picard Season 3 that "rely" on nostalgia. And "Star Trek Legacy" is not even a real show!

Can we get a sitcom where O'Brien and Bashir move into a duplex condo in San Francisco with their kids and grandkids and all sorts of family friendly hijinx ensue?

I see this argument a lot, but outside of PIC S3 and the NuTrek reboots (I would still argue those were not relying on nostalgia but I understand the argument in favor) which post-Enterprise Star Trek "relies" on nostalgia?

The most frequent criticisms I've seen of Discovery and Picard S1&2 are that they weren't similar enough to previous Star Treks. Lower Decks references the older shows a lot but is obviously not trying to imitate them. SNW is the closest I think you could get to a "relying on nostalgia" series and it is more frequently described as feeling "fresh" and seems to be the most well-received.

I want that show, but on a new ship and a new crew set post-DS9.

This is what Picard S1&2 were but everyone vocally hated it. Good writing has nothing to do with setting.

TrueNAS is fine but the dead-simplest I've ever seen is CasaOS which has one-click network file sharing.

French resistance Janeway

oooh this is a good one

💯 Same thing with the abomination that is DS9.

Seeing these same tired old takes makes Lemmy feel small too.

Exactly. I remember when my favorite teacher said "This is a textbook. Check it out sometime".

I don't think it's entirely fair to say Sisko was out of options, is impossible to predict the future, but he saw an opportunity, he took it, and it paid off. In a parallel universe the Romulans discovered the plot and joined the Dominion.

That said I totally agree with you about it being a great example of what makes Star Trek great. The fact that the episodes that get debated decades later are consistently held up as "the best" by the same fans really says a lot.

Eh, just because you can't make a horse drink water is no reason not to lead it there.

I did and it didn't say anything about replicators

Neither, since they are moneyless and post scarcity. We honestly don't have a word for whatever they are.

I'm surprised there's no fedi version of Facebook but I'm also sure as the fediverse evolves we'll see the return of personal websites but with activitypub-based social features.

True, Picard would be extremely irritated by every Doctor except the first and Kirk would flirt (most likely successfully) with Jodi Whittaker's Doc.

Here is a better representation of the nebula:
