I work close to firmware and this is how we all say it, and we say it often. When speaking to execs it's always said by pronouncing each letter. You can watch us code shift (lingually) in meetings depending on who is asking the question.

Yeah, I agree, I'm just a little triggered. The issue I have is less that it wouldn't make sense and more that the entirety of the Discovery era shows are laced with cameos and the novelty isn't there like it was for those TNG cameos.

... Really I just have ENT PTSD.

What they should do is have the entire series be a holodeck program Riker is running during the events of a TNG episode. That'll definitely be a satisfying finale, right?

TIL Ivan Dixon, who I know mostly as Sgt. Kinchloe on Hogan's Heroes, was radical as fuck. I have to check this movie out.

clunky and slow interface of email that for some reason we continue using 30 years later

Email is actually great, it's the original fediverse - anyone can start a server and interoperate with everyone else. With a decent client it doesn't need to be clunky either, although with 90% of people stuck in webmail I can understand why people think it sucks.

“Two movies we cite as comps for what we’re hoping to do are Training Day and Crimson Tide,” Goldstein tells Inverse.

Hmm, I like both of those movies but way different vibes. Crimson Tide might as well already be a Trek script, but Training Day? Freshly minted Captain versus effective but corrupt badmiral perhaps? XO and captain maybe?

My hopes this will be made are pretty low, but there could be some good Trek here. Especially if they actually made a movie that wasn't a cameo fest (it does say all new characters).

This is the reason beer exists.

I'm not sure I agree this is an awful location if you're going to make a big studio campus. It's not in Austin atm but it will be eventually (it's currently surrounded) and 290/183 are useful veins. You say "outside Manor" like it's also not ~10 miles from the capitol and downtown. In LA terms that's basically nothing.

That said, as an eastsider, yeah fuck the billionaires generally and the Ellisons specifically.

Trans? More power to you.

CIA? Go fuck yourself.

Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year...

Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I'm not sure I've ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.

If you've read all the OG Dune content, I say go for it. They aren't at the same level, but they're... Fine. Get it from the library or wherever and try it. Go in with low expectations and possibly get pleasantly surprised, or never pick them up again.
