What’s a few billion to a TRILLION company? That’s peanuts. Everything is fine fellow citizen.

If they accepted the job, absolutely yes. ignorantia juris non excusat.

Oh shit that looks like the Fallout 76 Enclave cot! And you say its smart‽ Give me 20!

Can’t wait to have business logic in my CSS!

If you’re using AI as a more powerful search engine, more power to you, that’s IMO how it should be used.

The problem is too many people use it to avoid learning and critical thinking, because it’s much easier.

What? It feels like a web wrapper right now, I always thought it was an old backend because the web app had better functionality.

If everyone else is is wrong, it might be that he’s the one who is wrong.

Actually, I read his post and he’s definitely wrong. Having coded in plaint text editors without syntax highlighting, I know the candy store look really aids locating needles on this haystack. He’s proposing making more needles hay-colored so the ones he thinks are more important become the focus.

It’s just his personal taste, if he loves visual fatigue, he should enjoy it without criticizing others.

I’ve been happy with Calibre Web and downloading to the official reader apps, but I’m open to try new things.

What strikes me as odd is why starting a Java software in this day and age. Java in the server is the COBOL of the 2000s, mostly used for legacy software.

Specially when those companies are valued in TRILLIONS. Nothing is worth trillions, somehow these surreal numbers have been accepted as hard fact.

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! Or chronically ill, but in a cool way, really.

The infuriating part for me is “something is breaking Photopeia”, an euphemism for “we break Photopeia if you block ads”.

This is not technical, but I hope the subscriptions are getting Lyric the dog some meat along with “Home cooked meals of green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, and brown rice”. Dogs require meat, it’s not their fault.

How dare you assume their gender? They are now referred to as theyists.

I fully accept I have difficulty with using these pronouns. English is not my first language, and in my daily life I know zero nonbinary people, literally zero, so I don’t get to practice. I’ve only seen trans people on TV, or in discussions on the Internet, so I don’t get to practice those either. Sometimes I wonder why it’s such a prominent issue on the media, specially American media.

I know a handful of people that are gay or lesbian, but they’re not into choosing special gender pronouns. So my only practice before this discussion was another online discussion more than a year ago.

When I said Adira is a nonbinary girl, I meant she is female of sex and nonbinary of chosen gender.

it was a big deal when they announced her, but the treatment was milquetoast and timid. Same with the few non-cis characters, they were tokens, the show didn’t have the courage to depict a future where a diverse gender philosophy is widely accepted. They yellowed out of it and presented as if it was still our time. I don’t dislike the show for being woke, I dislike it for being shallow woke.

Same with the rest of it, it was 90% SFX and 10% writing. With long series like TNG you can afford the luxury of experimenting and fumbling the ball some weeks, it Discovery and Picard and massive productions that only have 12 episodes a year. They had to make every one of those count.

About Michael ‘s learned Vulcan powers, I don’t buy that. She was best than the Vulcans at their own academy, seemingly an expert at hand to hand combat, basically a prodigy at everything she wanted to do. That’s bad writing, super geniuses are too easy to write, so they had to make her emotionally immature to give her some challenge. Given she cried almost every episode, I’d seriously doubt she took to heart those meditation lessons.

It is a very flashy but bad show overall. If it hadn’t carried the name of Star Trek, it might have carved a niche in Sci-Fi, though. Space novels were called Space Operas after all.

Again, let me explain it as a metaphor:

a) You want to buy a new house, it’s beautiful although there’s a few leaks here and there, but the rest of the roof is solid. You decide you like it.

b) You want to buy a new house, it’s beautiful although most of the roof has leaks. You decide it’s not wort the effort.

Those are reasons to hate any show. Discovery made the mistake of being made mostly of that.

You’ve said it, examples. All series have their flaws, but overall their qualities made them last. Who hasn’t heard of someone binging all of TNG? Who has heard someone say “Discovery was so good I’m rewatching it with my friends”?
