I got a strong impression that the future of the Federation we saw in Disco was specifically built around the values of keeping "humanity" (and inalienable species) at the center of everything.
Surely The Year of The Holodeck Desktop would arrive eventually?
This is a fun thought experiment and I'm kind of surprised Discovery didn't do something like this with holodeck tech in the "future" since the writers weren't afraid to do other tech-taken-to-natural-conclusion like tiny phaser transporters (or whatever those were).
Semi-related but I always thought it would be cool to see a Star Trek future where things have advanced so far that it would appear to someone like Picard like he and the Enterprise appeared to the Mintakans.
Not true anymore actually, the AI Max 395 is basically on par with a 4060.
I wish they had gone with an even smaller Mini-STX format like the AsRock DeskMinis but it's still cool.
Good point but I will say even with immutable distros users are given a lot more control than Windows or Mac.
Yeah BlueSky is a solid side-step. It's still for-profit and not federated but every BlueSky user is one not on X. And a lot of BlueSky's userbase is comprised of particularly influential X users so them leaving is particularly harmful to the ecosystem.
I also think it's funny how the journalists who repeat BlueSkys "decentralized" nonsense thought Mastodon was too weird and technical, and yet are promoting Pixelfed. Not complaining, but it is funny.

In Bazzite, installing software, for example, works differently than under a typical distribution.
This is true, but it's also on the whole a lot more familiar to a non-Linux user (open app store, search, download).
That and Crypto/wallstreetbets is what I assume. But like most subscription services, the paid tier will start out as "bonus" content but eventually more features get locked behind the paywall.
If they're foolish enough to paywall old.reddit it would force a lot of the olds out.
I have to imagine that a free Lemmy version of most communities would be more appealing to most people the paywalled subreddit. But I also have a feeling the paywalled subreddits are going to be crypto or meme stock related, where there's a benefit to them being paywalled.
EDIT: As other have said, there's an incentive for the porno subs to be paywalled too.
This was really cool, it's nice that fans are saving smaller less famous props and things from the show that could have easily been thrown out. Thanks for sharing.
"Stuff in my feed I don't want to see in my feed" is kind of the exact problem the Fediverse set out to solve. Nothing gets "injected" to a feed here so if you are seeing it, it's a choice to continue to do so.
"any media outlet, no matter how big an empire it is, that is not owned or funded by the state" is not the common definition of "independent media" (it's not even the definition given in the hyperlinked definition). "Independence" in this context refers to journalistic independence.
Seriously! I love the weirdo foss geeks but we need some fresh weird.
Can anyone help explain "Dot and Bubble" to me? (spoilers obv)
Theory: The EMH in "Academy" is going to be the copy from "Living Witness"

You know things are getting real when a Starfleet officer takes off their jacket.
In honor of the late William Anders, here's a really great video on the "Earthrise" photo and how improbable it is that we have it at all
