that Nickelodeon were the original commissioners of the production, made out of their budget and their terrestrial broadcast rights.

borg completely absurd and ridiculous (sex suits instead of armour? High heels?)

I always assumed that was the doctor playing dress up and she wasn't individual enough to contradict it. Once she came back to the Alpha Quadrant she clearly got some fashion sense

I was hoping for Prime, but their kids offering is pretty anemic compared to Netflix. With the cost of Netflix it only gets a few months a year in our household too

These drops have been so good. I've managed to get all the hero ships in regular size, even the Cerritos which I thought I'd missed my chance on. I missed regular DS9, but I am tempted by the XL in this drop...

without hashtags, I cant discover anything on bluesky, its made discoverability so much harder than mastodon imho

I was similar, almost monthly releases over the years kept me engaged.

I would add to those recommendations the Cold Equations Trilogy and if someone enjoys that, Mortal Coil (as a prequel to cold Equations) and The Light Fantastic as a sequel.

Brave at least claims to be an actual fork of chromium, they cherry pick upstream apparently. It's still full of crypto bs, so choose your poison.

Red Hat 6 on the front of a magazine in 2000 which was an interesting curiosity, and then a Fedora Core 2 live disc my university lecturer was handing out in 2004.

Erin MacDonald interview

NS: So speaking of cool, you are now a science consultant for the franchise. Tell me how that came about, and what your duties involve.

EM: Yeah, this is a dream job. This is as good as it gets.

...

They’re realizing how effectively Star Trek can be used to teach science, they really want to capture that, and with Star Trek having this big resurgence, and having all of these shows now being developed, they realized that having someone who is a behind the scenes person as well as a representative for teaching science through Star Trek would be an advantage to them.

So that’s what they’ve hired me to do. I’m working this year on retainer for the Star Trek franchise. That doesn’t say that every show is using me, but I’m available to any shows that do want to use me, and to try and keep track of all the technology and all of the travel and all of the stuff that they mention. All of these series are coming out at different points in different timelines, and someone’s gotta keep track of all of that. And they are, but it helps having me who can just focus on the technology and the technobabble and the galaxy and to try to keep that all straight. So it’s really exciting and I can’t wait for the stuff that I’ve worked on to actually start airing so that I can talk about it!

confirms Mack as consultant

There are other resources and tweets out there confirming as much.

Don't assume I'm a "nutrek" hater. I love new Trek mate, I buy the discs, I stream it, I've got the eaglemoss models! I use to defend the spore drive as a cool use of subspace domains or that Picard season one is a good remix of the themes of the episode tapestry all of which earned me many down votes on parts of reddit.

I can still be critical when parts of it could IMHO be done a little better, and as I said I'm glad that new Trek really is trying
