I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • I was referring to my earlier comment which you deleted. It suggested that some people believe the new movie is unfaithful to the ideals they expect Star Trek to uphold, in a way that would represent "stuff that hasn't already been done." It is not difficult to find such opinions expressed all over the net. It was in that comment that I expressed the hope that they would be proven wrong.

  • I wasn't aiming to argue with you. Discovery is fine although it's not for me. I was just expressing hope that the movie won't be as bad as they say, since I still have some.

  • If mentioning the existence of critics of this particular film isn't wholly forbiedden now, here is one take which mentions some ways in which it perceived by some as atypical of traditional Star Trek.

  • I started trying to place them on a triangle with the three corners labelled "good trek", "bad trek", and "not trek" but I soon ended up arguing against my own choices of where I'd put them.

  • Nazis siding with Israel against Jews is no great surprise at this point.

  • Glad to hear you at least gave mastodon a try. There are some friendlier parts than that out there on the fediverse but if you're enjoying bsky so be it. Maybe we'll meet again some day after it eventually either implodes or federates.

  • I'm more interested in the altitude of the median human. I suppose it's increased slightly since the invention of office buildings, chairs, and so on.

  • How does the combination of Mullvad and Tuta services compare to Proton unlimited?

    Jump

  • Proton has the better encrypted email service. It follows the standard and is interoperable with others.

    Proton has the better VPN service if you care about port forwarding, which Mullvad discontinued.

    But nothing beats Mullvad for looking trustworthy, and it was reliable enough when I was on it.

  • It's centralized, it doesn't officially allow 3rd-party clients, it requires a phone number, and the desktop app kinda sucks. I use it anyway, but it could be better.

  • Sorry Zuck, but "virtue" is not the message all those people making hand gestures at you are trying to signal.
