Same. I have to imagine there are some devs out there who will start working on Linux ports of their apps.

I was struggling to think of a character that was presented as "flawless" and Saru is the closest I could think of. I cannot conceive of a definition of "Mary Sue" that would apply to characters that that go to prison for mutiny. If Micheal meets the definition of a "Mary Sue" then Kirk, Sisko, Riker, Scotty, Wesley and Tom Paris do too but I suspect you would disagree with those being included.

Well said, except that TMP is pure cinema and you sir are worse than Khan Singh.

Someone once told me that Discovery had a "storyline" about a character coming out as nonbinary so I asked them if they could tell me what episodes this storyline took place or provide any details from this story because all I could think of was a five second scene with Adira that is never mentioned before or after. Of course they could not provide any evidence but they remained fully convicted that it did happen... somewhere.

Mary Sue

Is this a reference to Saru? Because I would argue strongly that he does not meet the definition of the term "Mary Sue":

"exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting. [...] lacks any realistic character flaws"

Saru was gifted and possessed "rare skills" yes, but was not without character flaws. For starters he sided with Burhnam during her mutiny and subsequent imprisonment.

Yeah when someone complains that Discovery redesigned the Klingons but won't complain about TNG redesigning the Klingons then you can know that they don't actually have strong opinions about the concept of a redesign.

Finally, something substantial. I was worried this would be "Star Trek: High School Musical" but this trailer makes it clear this isn't just a Trek show for tweens and teens.

How are you liking Kagi? Is it worth it?

Dang development seems to be moving pretty quickly

It says "for the purposes of cleaning image search engines" but also I'm sure the venn diagram of sites with AI images and slop sites with AI text are nearly a circle.

They could create 6 accounts that post nothing but old memes all day every day

wait

I make custom maps in Civilization that essentially turn it into a tower defense

I would prefer one that removed AI slop sites from search but I suppose if a site has AI images then it's for all intents and purposes slop anyway.

we really need an "ai critics" community that's better moderated

Immich actually uses machine learning to sort photos too

Honestly the fact that Bitcoin is still going despite having no connection to anything physical genuinely makes me wonder about how connected these stock prices are to reality.

He's so dramatic with his language that I assumed he was fudging the facts a little, but the more I've looked into it myself I'm realizing he's honest he's just really dramatic about it.

The Revenge of Shinobi (Sega Genesis)
