high level code generating tools have come and mostly gone

he’s talking about languages that don’t touch bare metal, not WYSIWYG editors

EDIT: WYSIWYG stuff continues to live , fucking salesforce

That might explain why there’s so much crap coming out of the gaming industry.

not really, it’s more of an economic situation instead of a tech one. Indie games are doing just fine, more or less (the choose 1 of 3 fad is a pain).

We don’t actually know what happened from after the Pegasus’ cloaking device was revealed, other than that Pressman and the rest of his crew were likely to face court martial (and Pressman had “high-up friends” in Starfleet). He was promoted to Admiral before it was exposed, and it’s unclear what he was promoted for, since he was already Admiral when he tried to get it back.

Just a stickler here, he was made Admiral after the mutiny and whatnot during the first cloaking trials, which happened before the episode (and before he was made admiral), which caused the cover up discussed in the scene I linked.

We don’t know what happens to any of the plot points after Picard De-cloaks in front of the Romulans.

Fair observation, but from my perspective what differs between the Pegasus and Measure of a Man is that the problem in Pegasus was whole cloth institutional. I get what you are saying though, there were no existing legal frameworks for data to reside in that stopped him from even being considered in passing as property, which is bad. However, it seemed to be one guy that wanted to do that, and the trial was held to examine if that would be right or not, and to establish the legal precedent.

Wheras with the Pegasus, the investigation disappears into a hole and not touched since. Instead of punishing Pressman, he gets made Admiral.

Water St is often where the water tower is, Railroad St runs parallel to the railroad, Fish Hatchery Road is where the fish hatchery is, and then there’s the tons of roads named after specific families who lived on the land they run through

this all seems sensible to me

If your parents do that for you, you’d find a way around it.

Them finding a way around it , hopefully technically, at least makes them grow their problem solving, motivation and rebellion skills

My cultural identity is more complicated than the gender identity of the people posting in 196.

But I get your sentiment. Not sure why a canadian is keeping his pulse on texan local politics, but meh

oh wow, he wasn’t even president when he became a convicted felon, I’m sure his 30 point whatever is going to save you yanks

for the third time?! Oh my god! I bet the consequences will be the same as the time he was found guilty and became a felon!

to who?

Jo, did you get up to something this weekend? I can’t quite put my finger on it. Got something on your mind? 🙂

I’m one of those, how can I help?

It’s a great example of the struggles to achieve utopia and the decisions made in pursuit of those goals.

YOU BETRAYED YOUR UNIFORM.

Mr Worf, gas that planet. If they don’t evacuate in an hour, it’s not my fault if they die in agony.

If the ends justify the means, and you don’t get the ends, you just have the means.

but can you roll your tongue? <insert more asenine genetic things here>

this is your thread! Go nuts!

Between the fact that they’ve saturated the US market and that every attempt to expand in Europe has been rough, I think they realize they don’t have many other choices.

US soft power is going to have a very hard time spreading any further than it has in the future.

haven’t seen the hot lizard on lizard action, maybe when my wife gets to that ep of voyager.

well, then we need to go back before that point. There is no reason why laws that apply to my paper correspondance doesn’t apply to my digital correspondence.

If you disagree, please send your personal email credentials and medical records.

TOS was full of episodes where ‘the other’ upset the utopian balance. While I love/prefer TOS, younger audiences tend to find the episodes unsatisfying, even twee.

Since TNG, conflict has come more and more from within Star Fleet/Federation rather than the monster/planet of the week.

My favorite episodes are the ones where there is some sci-fi problem, and they try to fix the issue. Or they have to mediate some problem with some aliens based on some pragmatic problem. They get presented with some moral dilemmas, and act in a moral way, and go somewhere else.

There’s no need to lie to romulans, bomb planets, etc.

reddit got worse, wanted alternative board.

lemmy actually had people using it
