I also just want to add the batteries in most of those zigbee buttons last on the order of years

so much better

I’m the same way and finally had to accept I’m going to need to change because Nova isn’t coming back 😭 and to my knowledge nobody is recreating foss.

Kvaesitso is what I went with. It’s a different style of launcher but very well put together. So far I’ve been quite happy.

How did you set them up with Plex?

I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.

Stated bluntly? Surely you jest. Which episode? The closest I can recall is when Sisko, in an emotionally charged rant called it a “paradise” compared to the frontier. But that’s far from describing it as Utopia. And even then, that’s just Earth. Not the entire Federation.

I love TOS because Kirk was a renegade rule breaker who had lots of sex, and Spock was stoic and never showed emotion ever. Also is there a more iconic phrase than “Beam me up Scotty”?

I’m not trying to encourage those people, but just speaking personally… I wouldn’t mind a spinoff that involved a gallant and diverse crew figuring out how to pet a different alien puppy every week.

This actually explains about 90% of my questions surrounding Voyager

The “this specific person (who happens to be a woman and black but that has nothing to do with it I swear) must be punished for being a naughty bad girl” fantasies always make me super uncomfortable BUT it’s nice to see someone not calling Burhnam an overly perfect Mary Sue for once.

LPT just buy a Ring doorbell instead

I’d also like to highlight that the Federation is never described in-universe as a Utopia (the only example that comes to mind is Pelia sarcastically describing Earth specifically as a “no money, socialist utopia”).

Since the TOS days the messaging has always kinda been that “Utopia” is about the journey more than the destination.

Fortunately it’s a big galaxy

Yeah exactly, it’s about what goes in, not what comes out.

Well written. Earth’s utopia seems to exist (or not) as is relevant to the plot at hand. But if there is one thing Star Trek drills into it’s messaging over and over and over again, it’s that the work, the brutally difficult work to get one centimeter closer to that “impossible” utopia is what motivates starfleet.

Honestly, all of the new bucket of frequently parroted opinions only make sense if you don’t pay attention. I saw one recently calling SFA “edgy teenage drama with bullying”. “Edgy” is the furthest thing from what SFA is. It’s the biggest let’s-work-together-and-support-our-friends piece of media I might have ever seen. It’s comfort food.

I have to assume these people go straight from the ragebait youtubers to reddit/lemmy comments without ever stopping to watch the show.

EDIT: omg there’s literally someone in this thread calling it “dark and edgy”.

The upscaled version you’ll find online is not good. The best way is to find the least compressed DVD version you can. It looks great.
