Yes thanks, I forgot all of the Spock and Pike stuff was S2, not S1. Also I apparently forgot Section 31 existed!

I do love that it’s a literal next generation…again

This 100%. YouTube algorithm pushes people towards the most extreme stuff, soif you search for Star Trek you’ll eventually always end up on some ragebait “show”.

I personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia

Discovery was a big hit, and although it had some nostalgic elements in the first season, it very quickly became it’s own thing and had a unique style.

SNW also seems to be pretty popular and features TOS characters, but even though it’s set in TOS era I wouldn’t say it’s appealing to nostalgia.

SFA is another one that very much it’s own thing and is NOT relying on nostalgia.

Lower Decks and PIC absolutely appeal to nostalgia, but those also seem to be much less popular with general audiences.

Just saying- that if I was a Paramount big wig I think it makes more sense to take the franchise where no star trek show has gone before, rather than backwards. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

It is truly astonishing how a company with their resources could have a program like Teams be so terrible for so long. Matrix/Element have advanced faster than Teams.

Is there a list of sources this pulls from?

Microsoft is using Discord and not Teams?

Hard to believe it’s real, hopefully Motorola is committed to the long term.

I’ve never woken up the next morning regretting greasy food

+1 for Bookstack. Very simple and easy to learn.

Oh I see thank you for the explanation. I missed that the university network was called a VPN.

I’m pretty sure “Block” is derived from “Blockchain”

This may sound dumb, but wouldn’t it appear to anyone listening between the client and VPN as though all traffic is coming from the VPN and not the website? Isn’t that the point of a VPN?

They were called that for most of their history until Jack Dorsey wanted to change the name to hype some crypto.

Yes, Square is a product that Block sells. Block was actually called “Square” until relatively recently and Jack Dorsey became obsessed with Blockchain.

They own Square which is a card processing service typically used by small vendors. If you’ve ever gone to a festival or concert merch table or farmers market and they accepted credit card, it was probably Square.

That’s only a small part, they own Square.

They own Square which you’ve almost certainly used if you ever paid a small vendor via a payment card (as opposed to cash).

Depends on what “percentage of Lemmy” means, but they have probably something like 20% of active users. Most of their communities have analogues elsewhere.

I do think that as Lemmy grows the idea of a “general purpose instance” will go away and online communities will form their own instances.

shelfmark. It even integrates directly with calibre web companion.
