This is not the death of expertise. The LLM is fast. You are slow, but you carry with you a lifetime of experience, judgment calls, and understanding.

Listen up Bart, you dumb fuck. If you willingly cede all this creation to the LLM then the last generation of fucking people with expertise are the ones working now! Go down this road and It dies with them.

Because who’s going to bother to learn code when it’s all brain dead chodes like you running the show and telling everyone to hand over the reins…. Oh but of course we’re still the one at fault if something goes wrong because we’re the manager and “Not only are you responsible for the work getting done, you also now own how it gets done.”

Holy fucking Christ, I don’t know if I ever ever gone 180 on an organization as quickly as I have on this one over the past week.

And just as frustratingly, we know that it ends on cliffhanger of sorts (or an unfinished story at the very least based on writer’s comments).

How the writers room thought that was a good idea in this day and age is just unfathomable.

The one feature I’m still waiting for is manual ordering in albums. Sometimes the ‘date taken’ just doesn’t tell the story right.

Thank you!

The soundtrack was really outstanding wasn’t it? There were several points where I was like, oh damn, this moment has some weight to it, thanks to the music!

I freaking love it even though it’s punishingly difficult at times. Everything will be going fine then a couple unlucky developments and you’re in the shit. Gives you an all new appreciation of what Janeway had to deal with. 😆

The bg music is a little lame but I just turned off the in-game music and put on the VOY soundtrack collections in the background and it feels great.

I dreaded the musical episode and I was wrong, it was fantastic. I dreaded the Lower Decks crossover episode and I was wrong, it was fantastic. I dreaded this episode and unfortunately, this time it was even worse than I feared.

I’ll admit, it was well made, the technical and performance sides of the puppets were outstanding and I genuinely laughed out loud on several occasions, but holy hell was it cringe from start to finish. Is this what anyone wants from ST??

I was so relieved that

but ffs, did we really need to waste what precious time is left with this series on… this??

The biggest weakness of Kurtzman’s era was that he granted way too much freedom to people’s ideas. Exploration and growth are of course necessary if Star Trek is going to survive (Even the 90’s shows got flak: DS9 stayed in one place and didn’t explore like the Enterprise, Voyager was going the “wrong direction” by coming home instead of going outward), but any artist will tell you that self-imposed restraint is what makes any work really spark. Some ideas should be rejected because they just don’t fit somehow and I’m shocked that no one realized it enough to put their foot down in this instance.

I realize that this was this season’s obligatory hijinks episode (the previous entries of which I generally liked and in the case of Spock Amok loved), but for me this one didn’t just cross the line, it jumped the shark.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😅

That kitty nuzzle tho… ❤️

That was great! I thought I knew where it was going but it totally surprised both me and my wife and we were like, “Damn, that was pretty good!”

Very hyped for shore leave episode now, the crew has earned it!

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time playing Syd Meier’s Pirates in my day, and I regret nothing!

You hush your mouth, Event Horizon is awesome!!

I’ve been using an app called Coax (Apple only, which will disappoint some) to do this with my Plex library and it’s glorious. Beautiful retro styled schedule grid, automated channel/schedule creation, even has a weather channel with Jazz playing. I’m rediscovering stuff that’s been sitting idle on my server for years because it’s just fun to see what’s “on” and be like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s check that out for a few minutes’ and then I end up watching the whole thing.

In this list, I’ve only heard of Devs and Our Flag Means Death, but those two alone are so goddamn good that you have my complete trust on the rest! Definitely going to check them out.

No worries. I almost deserved it. 😉

Ahhh I did click that but was viewing on my phone and it loaded to halfway through the comments and I thought it had just dumped me in a forum discussion. 🤦‍♂️

Cool thanks. This doesn’t appear in the original article you provided and when I searched the only result for the topic was that article.

So where’s the actual story with the ’provided screenshots’? This article is just some rando saying things.

I’ve never used last.fm but I saw this video the other day that suggests a way to use it with listenbrainz to create your own algorithm to help ween off subscription services. I’ve been meaning to go back and take some notes but maybe it’s of use?

Thank you, I’m totally going to try this! 🙏
