I know right? All this talk of moon bases and mars bases? Where is the money coming from?

I gotta say I really didn't expect Paramount Plus to be a major player in the streaming wars

Stop with the whattaboutism. First of all, it's literally an interview with the actor about their character.

Secondly, declaring that articles about queer characters can only be allowed to exist if they include some unrelated "both sides" criteria is a clear attempt to silence queer voices.

Damn 99% of the time someone says not to use an open source product it's because of some obscure drama unrelated to the actual program.

But in this case the dev appears to not just be using AI code (not great but debatable) but using mostly AI code and using AI to reply to bug reports. Not something the average person wants to be running in a live environment.

I haven't used Booklore but the excitement around it was nudging me there. I think I'll stick with CWAs slower rollout.

That's not a reason to consider CWA unsafe

Don't feed the troll, there is no need to allow yourself to be put on the defensive justifying why an LGTBQ character exists. The person you're replying to needs to make the case for why shouldn't matter (but they can't because the reason is they are bigoted).

A lot of people didn't give a fuck about Uhura being on the bridge, but that is not a reason to NOT include her character on the bridge. Just because you don't consider yourself bigoted does not mean that gay characters should not be celebrated for breaking new ground.

Uh..... why shouldn't they?

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 11 hours ago

Oh ok I didn't realize that. I've personally never encountered a situation where I needed a Snap because a Flatpak lacked functionality.

Oddly mature of you in this day and age to recognize that instead of publish an hour long youtube rant on the topic

The headline is misquoting him, the full quote is:

“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”

Still glaringly stupid, but the headline makes it seem like he's in denial it happened. He didn't say the words ~~"leftist" or~~ "craze"

Edited for accuracy!

I know this isn't wallstreetbets but I can't help but wonder if this is a more secure investment than the usual S&P500.

Personally I think this is a good response. I hope they stay true to it in the future.
