How far did you watch into Prodigy? Let’s just say it gradually gets less forgettable - I think it really picks up mid-season 1.
I do love Lower Decks, though.

Another good one:
If you don’t get it:
I know someone who read the book, and they said the show stayed mostly true to it plotwise; it tended not to skip things and actually added details.
Finally! Someone else recognizes the premium quality entertainment that is Murderbot!
I seriously recommend this show to any Trekkie.
Or, my fan theory is that since Picard demonstrates the Q may not be totally linear, Trelane is just Q2. At the very least, we know they can play around with time.
Reminds me of when I threw Debian Trixie on my freshly decommissioned high school Chromebook - with Bcachefs. Luckily, it wasn’t a daily driver, just a toy; the thing had an AMD Stoney Ridge APU that you had to use special compiler flags on to get working.
I agree on most of those counts, except the Chakotay one is actually very real; if you didn’t fully read the article (and I knew this already before reading it), a “Native American” cultural consultant, only to fond out the dude was a complete phony, so nearly everything that show depicts of Chakotay’s culture is either pulled from stereotypes or made up entirely.
I think good, truly easy video editors are a dying breed. I loved Windows Live Movie Maker - rest in peace.
These days, I think it’s worth it just to learn a video editor. A lot of the skills transfer; I haven’t used DaVinci before, but I’ve used other major proprietary professional video editors like Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro - the skills transfer. Just search how to do a thing you want to do a few times, and you’ll find it gets easier.
As others have said, I think KDEnlive is quite good; I haven’t had a huge amount of stability issues. From what I remember (granted, I may be out of date), OpenShot felt really jank in general; I used Shotcut for a while but had stability issues and UI annoyances. Comparatively, I enjoy KDEnlive.
You can self-sign and self-enroll secure boot keys. Can’t say it’s an easy process, though - I had a lot of misery with it on my Surface Go 1st Gen. Might be better on my Thinkpad.
Wow, that looks freakishly like Jack Quaid. Reminds me of this resemblance:
Not OC, by the way. Just relevant fan art that I know of.
The purple-haired one (who apparently is called Tongo Rad) kind of looks like a Boimler.
Unfortunately, he’s canonically not human, but if he were, it would have been really funny to have a throwaway line about Boimler’s great-great grandfather being “in a weird cult of space hippies searching for Eden or something.”
“This is Dan, and that’s Dan, and there’s Marty at the helm to complete the crew. And I’m John and he is also John and all of us are wondering when you’re gonna die.”
Or Aurelan Kirk. Or Peter Kirk
Luckily, I’m down to just an iPhone.
I used to use iPad Minis, but I was otherwise more of a Windows guy until 2022.
The only other kind of Apple thing I have is a GPU-accelerated Hackintosh running under KVM, which mostly gets used for adding non-streaming songs to my Apple Music library these days. I do plan to quit Apple Music eventually - I’ve been collecting and ripping CDs by TMBG, which is mostly what I listen to anyway.
Now I just envision Batman saying,”Today is a good day to die!”
The difficult reality is many people, no matter how interested and technically skilled, aren’t going to have the time, money (yes, money, due to hardware), and energy to immediately go with fully self-hosted OSS paired with a LineageOS (or similar) phone.
For one, you have to either acquire the hardware to run a server for self-hosting or get a VPS (admittedly not a huge financial hurdle, but still effort required). Additionally, you then have to take the time to migrate from iCloud to the alternatives. There’s also the fact that it’s a moderately expensive proposition to purchase a new phone capable of running something more libre like LineageOS. Until you switch operating systems, Apple makes using at least a little bit of iCloud difficult; for instance, you’ll probably need to use Find My at least once.
These reasons largely explain why I’m still on iPhone for now. I usually don’t use iCloud for the storage, but I frequently have to use Photos, Mail, and Find My.
I certainly plan to jump ship, but being stuck for now due to personal circumstances, I can’t blame OP.
iCloud web app has a calendar web app, along with others I haven’t listed.
Yeh. Also, Debian tends to hold back packages like that automatically. It’s just a really obnoxious thing to deal with for me, and Flatpak allows me to circumvent that.
Though truth be told, I’m thinking of just staying on Trixie once it hits stable. While Testing certainly has its uses and I rather love it, there’s simply times where I don’t want to deal with the odd system maintenance ordeals, as comparatively rare as they are relative to other rolling release distros. I’ve been rather enjoying Bookworm on my laptop for a year now, which makes me think I would enjoy it on desktop.
You’re right that the attempt wasn’t necessarily malicious. I feel it can be possible to have good intentions and still end up doing something wrong, whether that be sexist, racist, or otherwise hurtful.
Inaccurate cultural depictions can take away control of a people’s story and misrepresent them in such a way that distracts from the fact that they are a present-day people living their own everyday lives.
Of course, I think the failures in Chakotay’s character development that you mention are also very real and are a major factor in the failure of his character.
Overall, though, I still quite enjoy Voyager.
