I tried out Bazzite with an Nvidia 40-series card last year and performance was the same as Windows for everything I tested

All things being equal I would go with AMD too, but if I was OP I certainly wouldn’t turn down a good deal on an Nvidia card if one presented itself.

Yes! We have that too. It’s so addicting to get sucked into every time I come across it.

To be fair, the list was made for the 57th anniversary of Trek three years ago.

Data’s Day is the episode I usually recommend people use to introduce TNG to newbies since Data literally goes around and introduces the crew. I’m shocked it wasn’t on Variety’s list!

Great example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that’s a sign it’s time for a Voyager rewatch.

My favorite mod @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website moved here but also fuck spez.

EDIT:

I think the current methodology skews the data; consider that an instance federated with say, Hexbear, is probably going to have significantly more individual and community bans than an instance who only made 5-6 bans before recognizing the pattern and blocking the instance.

If the goal of this study is to see which places most aggressively moderate their content, you’re actually getting somewhat of the reverse.

Wow this looks incredible

Very interesting stuff! Defederations should count as a ban of all instance users, imo.

its not the one thing like u said

Zionism means one thing and only one thing.

When did Trump or Biden attack the country of Iraq? Iraq is a US strategic partner and the US basically pays for their entire military. Even claiming Obama attacked the nation of Iraq is a big overreach, imo.

Great points all around. “Hope and Kindness” may seem like obvious cliche lessons, but one could argue that in today’s political climate they are as important as TOS calling out societal racism.

“Datalore” is another one that’s important, but it’s not very good. Most of the episode is Wesley running around trying to convince the grown-ups that Data is being weird and being ignored. It’s the one where Picard tells him to “shut up”.

More mods and admins on Fedi need to step up and take bolder action, imo. Whether intentional or not, a mods inaction will often set the tone for a given community more than their actions.

Imagine the community you mod meets in person and someone is being obnoxious and disruptive. A new attendee is not going to speak up, they’re going to look to you for guidance. If you allow unwelcoming behavior to persist, then attendees learn that being loud is how to get noticed, and if they don’t want to be loud (as many of us don’t) they’ll just stop going.

I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.

Same. A lot of that stuff just feels more comfortable with time and I appreciate how Star Trek always pushes it a little bit. People FREAKED OUT with the Klingon changes in TMP/TNG. Then FREAKED OUT that DS9 was on a space station with a “politically correct” captain. Now we think of those things as normal, nostalgic even.

I liked it too, but I find rebuilding to be aspirational. Like maybe the most aspirational thing possible.

You didn’t say Discovery villains didn’t “have nuance and development”. So no, I didn’t say that either.
