/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

This is why they will not release the 90s shows on 4k BluRay. They don't want anyone to actually own copies.

They dont want people to own anything.

They want you to pay 10/month, then $12/month, then $16/month, then $22/month, on and on forever instead.

They're following Rule of Acquisition number 10: Greed is eternal.

Why have your money once when they can have it forever?

They convinced young gamers that this is Business As Usual. SaaS should never have bled into consumer goods. It's a scourge.

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago

I'm guessing it's got more to do with the cost of rescanning and upscaling footage for shows that don't have mass appeal.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

That sounds like some kind of... service issue.
