Quark's

Paramount+ recently canceled iCarly, popular show that originated on Nickelodeon.

I missed this announcement, but it’s another suggestion that Paramount is shifting away from providing content for a younger diverse demographic.

Because we can’t ever get enough Bruce Horak content.

This brief piece is from Canada’s National Arts Centre (in Ottawa).

I know that the utterly incomparable Bruce Horak came back not as Hemmer but as the Klingon for this episode. However the singer, was that Bruce too? If so then I'm genuinely shocked. I thought for sure that it was Weird Al. It sounds almost identical. If it's not Weird Al himself then it's a pitch perfect double.

Just wondering because I couldn't find anything through my usual channels.

This is a major revelation from the trial.

The writer is a principal from Duck Duck Go.

Thought folks here might be interested.

This NPR coverage is interesting.

"A lot of people don't understand how different our demands are from the WGA's demands," Bond said.

Bond said unlike the WGA, the actors union represents many types of performers — actors, dancers, stunt people — each with specific needs that need to be addressed.

Artificial intelligence, for example, is an especially existential threat for background actors, some of whom say they've already had their bodies scanned for reuse.

So Bond said negotiations with the studios' trade association, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) could take a while.

"The AMPTP is just going to use every union busting trick that they have," Bond said.

Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this, but I'm having trouble receiving the images from this instance on my home instance, this is what Risa looks like for me in the browser and in the app (I use liftoff). I've tried the suggestion in the FAQ of disabling adblock/adding a rule, but that doesn't seem to solve anything. I've also asked on my home instance, but it doesn't seem like the problem lies at our side. As soon as I view the communities via your instance directly I have no problem loading the images. So help! How do I get all your amazing memes in my home feed?

Update: So at least on Brave the issue is not the ad blocking, this comment from Freamon has a fix: clearing the cached data of your browser. Xusontha used and suggested the same fix. I will just switch to using Firefox because I don't want to deal with clearing cache all the time. Thanks for your help! :)

I've been looking around for some more communities to subscribe to and thought I should ask you guys

I finished watching The Orville, it was a masterpiece from the hands of Seth Macfarlane.

Here, they showed some exchange between admirals and the main ensemble cast quite often, but watching these certain scenes made me compare them to Star Trek admirals. I personally think all admirals in The Orville are great captains who got promoted to the rank of admiral as opposed to Star Trek admirals who are just dumb politicians where our main cast captains keep dealing with their nonsense.

Of course, there are a few reasonable and competent admirals we've seen throughout the franchise, but most of them I've seen reflect real-world politicians that never even had sat on a captain's seat.

A solid round up of some of the broader industry issues as the WGA contract moves towards potential endorsement by WGA East and West leadership Tuesday in preparation for a vote by the members.

Amid some speculation about the questionable neutrality of major Hollywood media sources, owned by AMPTP members, CNN reports from “a source familiar” that WGA has been sent a ‘best & final’ offer.

So, stay tuned for the WGA leadership’s assessment.

Many WGA veterans urged caution at getting hopes too high for what may come out of the AMPTP negotiating room later today, after a third day of talks between labor and management that involved four CEOs.

Notably, Paramount Global’s Bob Baklish is not among the CEO’s sitting in.

This week i've decided to rewatch the avatar films on blu ray. I picked up the special editions with the 3 hours worth of extras for each film. I've rewatched the first film and some extras. I'm a casual fan at best and by no means a movie critic, but here arey impressions.

The first avatar film has aged well. I enjoy the world of pandora and it is beautiful on blu ray. The details in the plants are incredible. A botanist that consulted on the film is featured in the bonus content.

I still get the sense that this could of been a two part film, with the first part ending with the destruction of the home tree. Then there would of been space go explore the na'vi tribes before the battle.

I watched the family audio version with english subtitles. The audio creatively removed the swears, but the subtitles didn't.

The bonus features had the main actors reflecting on their experiences making the film and their reflections on its success. They all played their characters brilliantly, and I was surprisingly impressed by Stephen Langs take on playing Quaritch.

Edit: Also after someone pointing this out, I can see the similatities with Fern Gully (which happens to be the first film I watched in theatre.)

I'm looking forward to rewatching way of the water, as I streamed it for the first watch.

So, I have some questions about formatting on this site:

1. How can I make "sub-lists". Kinda like a "1a,1b,1c". For instance, an Idea I have involves pros and cons. I want to make a list of that idea, with a sub-list of "pro" and "con", and bellow them a sub-list of the different pro's and cons
2. Can you make tables (I can't figure out if you can from what's on the "format help" page, I found it confusing)
3. what is the "URL" field at the top of this post for?
4. How do I make "minor separations", where you have multiple paragraphs, then a paragraph with more white-space between it, but not like a header or a line. It's related enough that I want it connect, but separate enough that I want some separation
5. How can I make Paragraphs have indents? (I know they aren't needed grammatically anymore, but in some cases, a paragraph just doesn't seem "right" without an indent...

I do have some more questions, but I forgot them right now...

Thanks in advance!

So, I have some ideas for discussing Star Trek Tech (Both ideas for how to do some IRL, and some ideas for tech based on other star-trek tech, not necessarily IRL, but "IRL" if StarTrek was 100% accurate)

So, what is the best community for that?

Thanks!

So, I am confused by some things with this website, and as this is a "general" community, I thought Quarks would be the most likely to be the place to post it...

So, here they are:

1. If I have questions about general usage/ support of this website (startrek.website), what's the correct community?
2. If I am not sure of a rule for the website, where should I ask
3. If I am not sure of a rule for a specific community, where should I ask?
4. Where should I ask to find a community on a specific topic?
5. Related to 1, where should I have put this post?
6. Also, what about questions about Lemmy?

Thanks in advance!
