No.

I usually just use Bash; there’s a certain level of complexity where it begins to be more reasonable to just use Python.

I think this is why we need more animated Star Trek. While no recent animated Trek show has really managed to get past the equivalent total runtime to a ~5 season, 10 50-minute episode Trek series, I think animation could be a medium to get past some of the budgetary and labor limitations of a live action show in order to return to something closer to a TNG-style season. Not only that, but you could have the cast doing and interacting with things that would simply be impossible to do with any quality in a live-action show.

Although truth be told, I think half my opinion is just fueled by sourness over the end of Lower Decks and Prodigy. I really think though that animation could be the medium for a serious mainline Star Trek series that isn't (originally intended as) an excursion into a genre. Unfortunately, we sort of live in an animation dark age because of executive and general stupidity.

Assuming she hasn’t bought it yet, please research that Yoga first. It might work fine, but it could also end up being a miserable experience.

You can check https://linux-hardware.org/ for the model or a similar one.

Honestly, Avery Brooks deserved more in general.

I posted this one a while back:

Who would win: The entire galactic ccommunt vs. 31st century equivalent of an iPad baby.

Despite that, I think there were some interesting things about that season, and despite the oddness that was that plot, Saru and iPad baby was somehow still enjoyable.

I just feel like they squandered their interesting new setting with season 4 (granted, I haven't finished season 4); there were so many plots that could have sprung organically from the fall of the Emerald Chain and the rebuilding of the Federation, but no, we have to make up this stupid DMA as a big bad again, and we have to do another plot about dealing with grief.

Heck, we could have kept the DMA and still blown up Booker's homeworld, but let his family live and instead have written a story about living in diasporas, rather than beating the dead horse that is DISCO's take on individual grief.

I feel like the first five episodes will be “I’m crying because I dropped a cookie”, and then suddenly the Breen or something blow up half the Federation and crap gets real.

I feel like the premise would be much more interesting if we substitute a planet for growing up in a starship and what the heck the children do in a red alert.

Actually, according to an okudagram in PRO, he is at least a full Lieutenant by 2384 in the prime timeline.

Ah, yes. The film where Jeri Ryan, Terry Farrell, and Kate Mulgrew are accidentally forced to abduct Rick Berman and keep him in their house for a few months while they wildly improve Star Trek. A classic. 😁

If only.

Funny, but I also almost puked seeing Data that way. I guess he can survive as only a head, though - just need a new body.

I will clarify I haven't watched a lot of Discovery, Enterprise, or Picard.

However, problems of the sort you mention (not necessarily the exact ones you mention, but similar or of concern) aren't exactly new.

For instance:

  • TOS showed Chekov assaulting a Klingon women (under the influence of an evil space alien before).
  • It is heavily implied Spock did something with Saviik in III. Also, in general, they just ruined a good female character. (III might actually rival V in terms of being the worst Trek film.)
  • TNG did "Code of Honor".
  • Also, TNG very much did weird things to Troi, including rape to rape-adhacent things. Not necessarily as bad as T'Pel, from what I can tell, but still messed up nonetheless.
  • I'm sure there's an example for DS9, but my mind subconsciously puts it in a pedestal and is blocking me at the moment.
  • VOY unnecessarily sexualizes Seven.

I think the truth of all Star Trek is it is flawed, but that we can critically acknowledge those flaws while managing to look past them so we can appreciate and enjoy the good parts.

That's some Earl grey hot news.

TOTP 2FA Issues (startrek.website)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Salutations. After lurking around and reading posts for a few weeks, I have just created an account on this instance. Mostly, the experience has been good, but I am having one major issue: Shaka when the walls fell with two-factor authentication. When I press the button in my account settings, I receive the error couldnt_generate_totp. When looking in the Javascript console, I found the following occurred every time I pressed the button:

POST https://startrek.website/api/v3/user/totp/generate 400 (Bad Request)

I received a 404 when navigating to that URL. Is the API for generating TOTP keys not set up on this server? I am concerned about any count where I am unable to properly set up two-factor authentication, and I would be pleased if this difficulty could be rectified. Anyhow, glory to the houses of all involved in maintaining this server as an alternative bastion of Star Trek discussion on the internet.

Let's imagine that there is an Earth from an alternate timeline where the planet received alien interference in the late 20th century that makes humanity certain of alien life and warp drive (note: not warp-capable), with the early 21st century on technological par with the prime timeline's 21st century. In this early 21st century, a person accidentally make both a universe and temporal crossing into Earth in the prime timeline and the late 24th century.

Starfleet quickly locates this highly confused person. How would Starfleet handle the situation while abiding by the (Temporal) Prime Directive?

Personally, I would think given the exceptional circumstances, that Starfleet might given the person limited mobility on Earth and only Earth, and eventually allow them to live permanently in the prime timeline if they have exhausted the list of possible ways to return the person to their timeline. This is especially considering that the alternate Earth has already been interfered with, and Starfleet has no way to know the natural development of neither the alternate timeline nor its native earth.
