Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•[Prodigy spoilers] 30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Pays Off Its Strangest Sci-Fi TwistEnglish5·1 year agoDude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Japan forces Apple and Google to allow third-party app stores and paymentsEnglish41·1 year agoIs that last one granting access to closed APIs?
That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’English7·1 year agoNot impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.
And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.

I liked to use a three tiered approach…
Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.
A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.
For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Judge holds Trump in contempt for violating gag order in hush money trialEnglish61·1 year agoSo $9K?
For the layman, that’s a lot, but for Trump?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Rooting for Trump to fail has made his stock shorters millionsEnglish38·1 year agoThis reads like a damage control spin.
We’re losing, but actually winning!
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•I'm shocked how much the Appstore sucks in 2024English4·1 year agoThis is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail StoresEnglish1·1 year agoYeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.
A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.
It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail StoresEnglish1·1 year agoI suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.
Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.
Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a bad writing trope you hate in fantasy fiction ?English12·1 year agoThis is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…
But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.
There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump's $175m bond rejection raises questionsEnglish36·1 year agoTBH, I would be surprised if Jones has those answers. Trump is SUPPOSED to be keeping Jones appraised of such happenings, but since when has he cared for protocol, and when has he ever been held accountable?
I feel like voter turnout on (especially) local levels would be greater if we had to participate in Highschool. Get used to researching local politics would go a long way to instilling it in adulthood.
That and mandatory time off for voting would help.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5 Premiere With New “Red Directive” & “Under The Twin Moons” ImagesEnglish1·1 year agoThey’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….
Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?
Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?
Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5English3·1 year agoLethe. That’s who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5English3·1 year agoWasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?
I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Difference Between Nerd and GeekEnglish47·1 year agoIf this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:
Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Media blackout of “suicide” of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett continues as company CEO David Calhoun steps downEnglish8·1 year agoThe linked article has the same headline, as per the rules here.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•The Future of ‘Star Trek’: From ‘Starfleet Academy’ to New Movies and Michelle Yeoh, How the 58-Year-Old Franchise Is Planning for the Next Generation of FansEnglish1·1 year agoMaybe maybe not? At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.
Debatable.
TNG did have a crossover with a forgotten sitcom named Webster. https://blog.trekcore.com/2015/03/tng-webster-crossover/
And who can forget Voyager having a wrestling episode.
