The opening theme was just weird! But I said the same thing about DS9 and Enterprise.

Now I love the DS9 theme. So maybe Academy’s will grow on me, too.

I had a funny feeling they were going to play this song, and I smiled when this cover started playing. I didn’t realize it was Rufus Wainwright! Good stuff.

uhhh ok? Any particular reason…?

Exactly, they got Paul Giamatti for Spock’s sake. When an actor is at their level they can be choosy about the roles they take on.

Top tier!

I’m fairly OK with NuTrek trusting the audience less and driving a point home harder

I’m generally against this, but it’s also not like Star Trek ever gave us a reasonable expectation of subtlety…

Seriously it’s not even an honorific, it just describes the most newsworthy people from that year

It is “the architects of ai”, which is a bunch of tech CEOs, so even worse.

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

Yes exactly. And I actually believe that artificial intelligence could be a real thing that we might one day describe as a person that makes real art. But everything I see tells me that LLMs are not a path towards that.

It’s not the AI that people are calling slop… it’s the slop. People-made slop existed before AI and it was still slop.

Neat!

Nextcloud is federated?

If this wasn’t literally /c/fuckai I would think they were trying to distract from what YouTube is doing…

I have a feeling most people click the maximum privacy “hide from contacts” option at the start, probably not thinking it through. And that means you wouldn’t be able to see them. You can try searching manually as that sometimes seems to find them.

That said, when I asked people who texted me “do you have Signal?” I think about 50% said yes and the other 50% were able to download it without issue.

I waited years for it, but now that everyone is on Signal it doesn’t excite me.

Thankfully most of the top games of 2025 run great on a 4060.

I’ve tuned into this a few times and it’s always been 100% completely unhinged. Love it.

Falls suggests that people don’t seem to believe librarians when they explain that a given record doesn’t exist

This happened to me at my job, someone called in asking about something that didn’t exist and never did, and insisted with me that I was mistaken when I said we didn’t have it. When I asked where they got their information they said “ChatGPT” and when I suggested GPT was hallucinating they didn’t seem to understand the term.

Having that exchange IRL with a real human bring honestly kind of shook me up.
