New trek tries to do something similar, at least in Strange New Worlds anyways. Theres a whole courtroom episode regarding a certain member of the enterprise. Its a pretty new episode so I won't spoil anything for people. Anyways, theres more than 100 years between the two shows and basically nothing has changed.

Bashir got an exception provided his father spend time in prison. I wouldn't call that a particularly major win, but thats just me.

So far I'm liking it. I wasn't fond of the general attitude people had on reddit though, and I'm seeing some of the pop up as a result of the migration.

I have concerns that the lemmy community will become as toxic as reddit is. Other than that, I am enjoying how small communities are here. I don't feel like my voice is being drowned out by other users or bots.

Tbh I haven't read it. I instead saw the will smith movie that has almost nothing to do with the book.

Okay thats pretty good. McDonald's knows whats up.

And thats the secret. The weaker and more hopeless we are, the more complacent we are.

I just want to point out that starfleet actively oppresses certain groups of people (genetically modified races usually), ignores the needs of their border worlds while simultaneously demanding they adhere to federation laws, and their entire legal system is broken. A judge forced Riker to prosecute Data despite the obvious personal connections.

Star Trek is not as much of a socialist utopia as people like to pretend it is. Its definitely a more liberal society, but equality is not a given.

Theres a reason she's sometimes referred to as captain insaneway.

I mean this is the same captain that casually disregarded the prime directive whenever it was convenient for her.

I think the closest we might would be a mixed economy utopia, where capitalism co-exists with things like workers rights and whatnot. Its probably difficult to write a believeable capalist utopia because it requires that the people at the top are all saints.

Although, with the advances in AI, maybe someone could write a story about some megacorp AI meeting everybody's needs. It might be an interesting writing experiment.

I used to host my portfolio site through them actually.

Its not comparable at all. Reddit was a customer boycott. This on the other hand will cause a massive and very expensive logistical nightmare.

Also Quartz is used extensively in electronics, including medical devices that help people with healing or managing their ailments.

Agreed. More instances should defederate from anything related to Meta. Im here because a corporate entity utterly destroyed something I liked. I don't want that again.

God i hate how utterly useless search engines are now

I miss all the personal home pages. You could get a real sense of who somebody was based on what they chose to display. Maybe they had pictures of the favourite game or tv show, or their own little web diary. Now its all just santizied profile pages that have virtually zero room for creativity. It's too sterile now.

Thanks i hate it

Im sure this tastes great, but my mind immediately thinks "pepto bismol soup"

I feel like the popilation of vegas would respond to that much more positively than the italian senate.

Its weird how many times this has happened. Its almost like growth at all cost isn't sustainable.

Wario and Peach

I think there already is one. There was a guy working for that company who was fired for whistleblowing after the ceo ignored his safety concerns, and now that employee is going after the company for wrongful termination.

That ceo knew it was dangerous but still decided to drag 4 other people to a watery grave
