ENT gets a ton of flak for this in general, but I'm not quite sure how else might a prequel to TOS look? Kirk and the band were space cowboys without a lot of rules, then a few decades later we have the super-professional Federation...
The trajectory is clear, if you go some decades back, to humanity that is only starting to do space exploration, then it has to be very very rough.
Besides, humans even in the TNG era have the reputation of being reckless, unpredictable and emotional. So I think ENT quite nailed that more often than not.
Yes I know SNW is doing it differently, but it just rehashes stories from other shows, and I do quite question its positions as a prequel. It could be set at any time really.
(And let's not talk about how DIS works as a prequel...)
Ya that was an odd moment, sfdebris called it out too. I think I was just too annoyed by the silliness of the premise to really realize it one way or another.
Either way, I find the meta bigger picture just as interesting. Actors act, directors direct, to indeed portray something as X. In this case Tripp was painted as the weird one, but honestly, we as viewers should be able to make our own judgement on the situation without having to go against the story or against the suspension of disbelief.
South East? Is that like... India? Just say so, why so cryptic? Idk what cities in India NC and VA mean either, just use geographical names, common, can't know every city or province or whatever everywhere around the planet.
Well I mean this kind of online activation tied to a program kind of drm. This wasn't a thing before Steam outside of MMOGs.
I'm mad at the right company. It's just for some damn reason Valve is still heralded as the indie darling that made Half-Life, and not the monopolistic marketplace corporation that it's been for 10+ years.
I repeat: yes there are worse companies. That doesn't make Steam or Valve good.
So if someone really wants to use an app for Reddit... Why not just use RedReader? That one has an exception due to havingb better accessibility support, and seems to do everything that any other app does.
I don't, but I'm aware of that (same in cars). I only got into CDs near the end of their popularity, maybe that's the main reason I'm sick of tapes and like discs. (Altho frankly, any portable/headphone audio was shit compared to what we have today.)
The thing that blows my mind about tape is that copying 1:1 is real time and takes the exact same time as the track is long. Or that making a copy always lowers quality with every generation. Analogue media is whack, man.
To publish on F-Droid, you need to publish the code. F-Droid complies their own binaries using their keys. They have a faq on their page on how to set it up.
You can also publish your binary and offer it to the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo. They're less stingy with requirements, tho I believe the app still needs to be open source.
Or again with a binary, as long as it's published on github/gitlab etc, people can add it via the Obtainium app, or just download it directly.
It is made to be inaccessible to the common people. Partially due to avoid excessive overuse, partially (or moreso) so it remains a playground for lawyers and other such people, who are all expensive.
Tineye sucks. Yandex has the best reverse image search
