  • What am I missing with Matrix?

  • Doesn’t feel like a Discord replacement.

    I think it's on the way there, but it'll be a while on the order of years. It's not the easiest thing in the world to self-host either.

  • I also just want to add the batteries in most of those zigbee buttons last on the order of years

  • [Android] New modern toolbar

  • so much better

  • New launcher to replace Nova?

    Jump

  • I'm the same way and finally had to accept I'm going to need to change because Nova isn't coming back 😭 and to my knowledge nobody is recreating foss.

    Kvaesitso is what I went with. It's a different style of launcher but very well put together. So far I've been quite happy.

  • Anyone have any experience with TubeArchivist?

    Jump

  • How did you set them up with Plex?

    I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn't have great customization like "Only keep latest two episodes". It might have changed since then.

  • The "this specific person (who happens to be a woman and black but that has nothing to do with it I swear) must be punished for being a naughty bad girl" fantasies always make me super uncomfortable BUT it's nice to see someone not calling Burhnam an overly perfect Mary Sue for once.

  • I'd also like to highlight that the Federation is never described in-universe as a Utopia (the only example that comes to mind is Pelia sarcastically describing Earth specifically as a "no money, socialist utopia").

    Since the TOS days the messaging has always kinda been that "Utopia" is about the journey more than the destination.

  • Fortunately it's a big galaxy

  • Yeah exactly, it's about what goes in, not what comes out.

  • Well written. Earth's utopia seems to exist (or not) as is relevant to the plot at hand. But if there is one thing Star Trek drills into it's messaging over and over and over again, it's that the work, the brutally difficult work to get one centimeter closer to that "impossible" utopia is what motivates starfleet.

  • Honestly, all of the new bucket of frequently parroted opinions only make sense if you don't pay attention. I saw one recently calling SFA "edgy teenage drama with bullying". "Edgy" is the furthest thing from what SFA is. It's the biggest let's-work-together-and-support-our-friends piece of media I might have ever seen. It's comfort food.

    I have to assume these people go straight from the ragebait youtubers to reddit/lemmy comments without ever stopping to watch the show.

    EDIT: omg there's literally someone in this thread calling it "dark and edgy".

  • What's your preferred version to watch Deep Space Nine? Is AI upscale worth it?

    Jump

  • The upscaled version you'll find online is not good. The best way is to find the least compressed DVD version you can. It looks great.

  • If the performance was even the slightest bit off an appearance like could have easily come off like nostalgia-bait, but it truly felt like this was SAM's episode and he was a hologram in a history computer.

  • Last time I looked into it something wasn't working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I'll give it another go...

  • Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer...
