Of course he has humor like a pre-teen school boy...

I bet the next step is to rename himself. Elon doesn't cut it, he should be known as Captain America or something.

He is so intelligent. One day I wish I could come up with a name like X.

He probably was thinking "oh hey let's make it mysterious... What's more mysterious than x? Nothing! Solve for x! Right guys? Right? (everyone says yes since all smart people left the building).

Yeah I felt there is nothing interesting going on to keep my attention. They are exploring space - there should be tons of really interesting scenarios. Remember the entire Q thing with time travel and different consequences from all that, both morally and technologically. It made me feel really excited and interested in the choices that were made.

But in the last few shows, it's just missing. The big focus seems to be on throwing as many different races into the show as possible and make that the actual focus of the show. It was never the focus previously.

The crew here is annoying. For example, they keep reminding eachother how they are the best of what star fleet has to offer, but they can't act worth a damn. When she ship is being threatened to be destroyed, they don't look like they even care.

So I think you are right, it's not the wokeness that is so annoying but it becomes so much of the focus since there is no good story or acting going on.

If I have to watch "strong black woman" for the 100th time, it does tend to get really annoying. Can we have a good story in star trek please? That was the point of the previous shows at least.

This stuff is tricky and we all just follow wikis and try to fix things like that. We can't all be kernel developers. :)

Imagine not having reading comprehension or intelligence to even read a post properly.

Absolutely. And I hope Lemmy stays rather small actually... Too big is not good since it brings corporate interests in monetizing the entire thing. And then we are back to having ads and data mining and not being allowed to use certain words again like on reddit or other big tech sites.

I haven't actually, I will check it out. Thank you!

I love sci fi, and I loved these star treks very very much, they are excellent:

• Star Trek Voyager
• Star Trek Enterprise
• Star Trek New Generation
• Star Trek Deep Space Nine

However, these ones are awful:

• Stat Trek Strange New Worlds
• Star Trek Picard
• Star Trek Discovery

I think the entire "woke" thing has become way too much in the last ones, to the degree that it's annoying to watch.

I think it's similar to watching TV shows with too much sex. I mean, it's not enjoyable, it's just annoying. Or watching Fox News for 5 minutes and wanting to jump off a cliff.

The thing is, literally all big tech companies also have zero respect for their userbase but people keep using Google, Meta, Insta and all those things.

I think us geeks have started to move away from it more and more, but the majority couldn't care less.

Already have, sadly. It was the only one I liked since Star Trek Enterprise.

So much shit in the latest star treks that has much more to do with promoting the "woke" culture of 2020 and nothing to do with space exploration or story telling.

Every single tweet is getting attention. It's so weird. These guys have all kinds of disorders and mental issues but the world loves their every comment. I guess we don't have anything better to do than discuss what they are saying. Sad.

I think it's hard to describe why we don't like something. I think part of it is because of the annoying personalities. But they won't be annoying to you, or you would have picked up on it by now.

I think most people seem to like the show. It's doing better than Picard I think, which was also crap in my opinion.

I did like the Orville though, because it did have some actually funny scenes and decent stories.

"Trust us, we are Google".

Yes. Yes you are... The filth of the web.

And every time these companies remove freedom they do it under the guise of protecting users.

I want to like this show but the characters are just so lame.

I grew up with Star Trek New Generation and captain Picard was just great. But these guys all feel like really bad actors.

I found myself wanting them to stop talking or get killed in the show. They are so triggering bad. Nobody else feels like that?

I game in 120hz on a 30 inch 4k screen. Are you on Wayland? Xorg is old and have issues. Also avoid Nvidia at all costs. Get amd.

This is why we can't stand windows. Everything is laggy and filled with ads. Wtf. :)

Actually phoenix showed that the zen kernel has slim to no advantage compared to the vanilla kernel for gaming. But I use it anyway because it's not worse.

Always happy to see another user join the ranks of gamers on Linux. I've been gaming for years now since proton came. The fact that it's just a checkbox in steam to use proton is fantastic.

There should be. What graphics card dom you have? Usually these issues are caused by using Nvidia since they don't care about Linux and the driver is closed source.
