Fake Professionalism!

I don't believe that CEOs, who demand a 7 digit salary, have the ability to understand the soul and heart of a collective of people (in the case of many #FOSS projects: some of the world's most skilled and talented programmers), who donate lots of their time and energy for a project they believe in, and hence lack the credibility and skills necessary for making them thrive in the long term.

Firefox's ever falling market share proves that.

RFC

@mozilla @firefox

as being a prominent and established way of accessing the internet without using a product owned by one of three three tech giants.

No niche browser can play the same role.

To me, hopping onto a running train doesn't seem to be the way to go when it comes to creating and keeping trust:

People, who think that cars are a terrible way of getting people around in cities, don't want another Tesla, they want a good bike.

Here we have a problem, common to many non-profits:

Same with reconfiguring space ships in flight. What a bs!

I know, but these extensions are essential for circumventing censorship.

This is exactly, what I call "bowing to an autocracy".

@tommi

They should use scissors instead of a knife, as a symbol for supporting Russian censorship.

Saru embodies the ideals of the Federation, as nobody else.

This is actually true.

Discovery is far better than it is given credit for, but the endless useless speeches make you hate it.

@PoliticallyIncorrect

My all-time favourite is Kubuntu.

Installation and use is as easy as it gets.

@RootBeerGuy

Otherwise, Discovery isn't bad.

It has quite good characters, good actors and a compelling story arc.

I didn't like the overload of visual effects, but this seems to be a thing of our time.

Picard was, IMO, not a TV series, but pure fan service. If it hadn't been for Jeri Ryan, it wouldn't have been watchable. The third season was the worst.

SNW was clearly made to not offend anybody. Solidly made, no experiments.

Just the right thing to keep an extremely conservative fan base happy.

Discovery had one (big) flaw:

Unnecessary dialogues!

Except for the episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, they totally ignored the "Show, don't tell" rule.

@ajsadauskas

That's actually a problem.

There is no backup for this collective memory outside the servers of this company.

I am so sorry for the tragedy that happened to you. I hope, you have people to be with you.

I'm glad, you liked my recommendation. Many people don't get hooked until the 4th episode or so, so, if you're not entirely convinced, give it some time.

(remember the 1st season of TNG?)
