The alert klaxon on the Orion ship in the cold open sounded suspiciously distinctive. Have we heard that before somewhere…?

This one had a couple of turns of phrase that smacked of an inexperienced Trek writer: Riker introduced himself as "Commanding officer William Riker" (rather than "Commander" or "First Officer"), and Crusher called him "Bill" rather than "Will".

On the bright side, I can rationalise these as evidence that this is far from a canon story. 🤣

Pike's look to camera in the final frames of this episode echoes the same look in the transporter room at the end of the season one finale.

This was confirmed to be a bug in the Pocket Casts TestFlight build I was using.

Resolved! But still mysterious.

I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling every recently updated app on my phone, starting with my TestFlight apps. The first one I tried, Pocket Casts, doesn’t even have a Share Sheet extension, but after uninstalling it and rebooting my phone, my Share Sheet looks normal again! Reinstalling the Pocket Casts build did not reintroduce the problem.

I had definitely tried uninstalling and reinstalling several apps with Share Sheet extensions before to no avail, but this was the first TestFlight build I had tried uninstalling since the issue arose.

YMMV.

Good idea, but Content & Privacy Restrictions aren’t enabled.

I’m happy to manage my own subscriptions and block settings to hide any content from Threads or other instances I may not enjoy. I don’t need my instance doing that for me.

My understanding of the argument for defederation is basically “but they might monetise all our social graphs”, but our content is publicly available on the Internet, so they can do that regardless.
