Out of all the lifestyle changes we can make, this is so unbelievably minor it is not worth mentioning, let alone make a campaign for.

Until the government and corporations take climate change seriously, making changes on an individual level won’t make a meaningful difference. Doesn’t mean we should do nothing… but come on, this is just stupid.

True, I may not have given SNW the chance it deserved. I’ve watched all 3 seasons of Picard though and almost 2 seasons of Discovery

For me, Star Trek was mostly about a possible brighter future. Humanity overcame the issues on earth, no longer relies on money/capitalism, etc. When your watch the crew on TNG, they are acting professionally and with a code of ethics.

Discovery is so miserable. Everyone is angry all the time, there’s racism, lots of unnecessary drama, people acting extremely unprofessionally. Same with Picard. Especially sour about how they made one of the best characters - Q - also very serious and miserable. He could’ve been the comedic relief the series needed, without undermining the rest of the story. The “Picard speeches” are just badly written too, so whimsical and empty.

We have a million dystopian Sci-fi series already, why do we need more? I feel writers are no longer able to tell compelling stories without fake drama. It’s possible to engage with modern day issues in a different way, especially by showing how to be better.

I’ve watched the first couple episodes with no expectations, didn’t hate them, didn’t love them… I don’t really know why - just didn’t click with me. Might give it another shot!

Honestly, after Picard and Discovery I’m pretty much done with “New Trek”, I’ve lost my interest. For this I’m not even the target audience - this seems aimed at teens / young adults. And it’s once again produced by Alex Kurzman. So… yeah, I’m gonna give it a pass.

I cancelled it when they started to crack down on family plans with separate households. It just wasn’t worth the money to me anymore. I wonder how much more price hikes the remaining customers are going to tolerate. At some point it becomes cheaper to just outright buy music…

I am disappointed about their recent switch to a subscription model though. They quietly removed the single-time purchase “Golden Edition” and introduced multiple subscriptions. Not a good start, let’s see if the enshittification continues like with all API testing tools.

I feel a bit conflicted about that, do I want that extension to hide the terrible clickbaity titles and thumbnails? For me that’s a good reason to not watch these videos in the first place

That is a depressing viewpoint. Money doesn’t make happy, it just provides financial security. There are so many more important things to life.

You are deluding yourself if you think Bitcoin can only climb in value. At the end of the day there is very little you can buy with it unless you trade it in for a real currency. And for you to make a profit, someone else had to lose money. It’s a zero sum game. Eventually there will be no more fools to invest in it.

The biggest mistake was to make it a “hub” for all sorts of other uses in my opinion. It shouldn’t be browser based, it should be native and just focus on chatting and calls, that’s it. It could be so much faster and intuitive.
