You're right that it's nothing big, but the kind of people super into purity tests tend to congregate on the fediverse (which I find a little ironic but am also happy to have some people around who accept no compromises).
Well I do agree to it as written lol. I didn't realize this was a matter of opinion.
You won't get this meme but trust me it slaps
I know DS9 is considered the "dark stories" one, but it's still bursting with optimism compared with the majority of scifi out there.
Perhaps if you gave an example from the TOS to illustrate what you mean by "enabling bullshit" your position would be more clear?
They are just covering their butts legally against someone suing them for typing a URL into the URL bar.
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).
The Flight of the Phoenix illustrated in the style of a NASA infographic.
Finally, fans are getting what they've been demanding for years, a crossover event between the Kelvinverse and... World of Tanks
“Untitled Star Trek Origin Story” film officially added to Paramount Pictures' 2025-2026 lineup.
