That tag line has vastly outlived the product it was created to sell (a CMYK TV). I love that George took ownership of it.

conditional_soup , in Semantic arguments, part 2 (Hard Mode: No Pulaski... *and no Julian for lack of spots)

Toss up between EMH and T’Ana, really, but I’d say T’Ana has more lovable burnout energy that the crew vibe with, where the EMH is just kind of a dick. I love him, he’s one of my favorite characters in all of Trek, but his bedside manner makes him a huge pain in the ass for anyone normal to work with. The people who got along best with him are Seven, who basically had high-functioning autism implants from the Borg, and Kes, who was, by and large, incapable of being mad. Janeway dealt with him fine because she just never took any shit from him as a matter of policy, and the only other person he vibed hard with was a fucking serial killer. Tom Paris, who stands out for being by far the biggest normie on Voyager, couldn’t stand the EMH (though he also hated sick bay).

So, gotta go with EMH having the worst bedside manner.

Going to have to agree. He was never intended to need a good bedside manner because he was never supposed to be doing long term patient care. So they never bothered to program it.

He was designed for emergencies: “Do this. Do it now. Moving on.”

Autism implants 💀

mindbleach ,

Voyager’s EMH was so awful to deal with that the upgrade path was Andy Dick.

FordPrefect ,
@FordPrefect@startrek.website avatar

Huh… I just assumed the Andy Dick hologram was so much more pushy that it got the other one deprecated out of pettiness.

mindbleach ,

At least he didn’t delete him by getting Janeway back on cocaine.

I always thought Phlox had the best bedside manner. The EMH is the crankiest I know of but I didn’t watch Discovery or Lower Decks.

ummthatguy OP ,
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world avatar

Phlox could be short with patients who were holding back, but he respected and protected them like no other.

And that time he tried to set Trip up with his wife.

Lower Decks Doctor T’ana is basically a combination of Bines and the EMH with decades of burnout behind her. She’s just the best

@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

As much as I love my beloved being included in anything, the only person Culber ever has bedside manner around is his husband. Even then it’s when his husband is being stubborn as shit. Hugh is super professional. One reason why I asked him to marry me.

This list is missing Polasky. She wouldn’t beat the EMH, but she would tear a strip off you if you got injured doing something stupid.

Pulaski also seemed to be high functioning autistic, with researcher abrasive in the mix.

Dr. Tracy Pollard of Discovery and head of Sickbay definitely had snark.

Yeah, him too. Look, I had 6 spots and several shows to cover.

Fair enough, I would have given any name that wasn’t on the list, I mean, Tom Paris was a doc for a short bit, right? (My collectors plate has it in a footnote)

Paddzr , in We need to remodulate the phasers

Somehow I’ve been fine? Is my setup the chosen one or it just hasn’t come down to me/my region yet?

Weslee ,

I just started to get it yesterday

professor ,

It’s sent out in waves.

First escalation, you just a warning with an “X” that you can close.

Second escalation, you will be the same warning but without the “X”. You can of course just block the element.

Third escalation, you get the “3 videos” message. After this, YouTube no longer serves you videos. You can get around this by logging out and using incognito mode on Firefox. There are other ways too if you go browse some ublock origin communities.

Stampela ,

I’ve been wondering about that too, after seeing this post I watched a 10+ minutes video and it was fine, but I’m not… on an average setup.

So for the moment I’m just going to suppose it’s not active for me yet. Thanks.

WarmSoda ,

I don’t log in when I watch YouTube on Firefox. It remembers your watched videos anyways so why bother? I can’t leave comments or like anything, but “oh no”

I wonder if that’s why I haven’t seen any about using ublock.

tigeruppercut ,

Do you know if there’s a way to be logged into gmail (haven’t been able to extract myself from google yet) and logged out of youtube while on firefox? I thought they’d be separate but I tried logging out of yt and found my gmail had been logged out as well.

I’ve just been using private windows recently but I figure FF probably has the capability to keep your log in instances between tabs separate if you tell it to, I just don’t know how.

WarmSoda ,

I haven’t gotten away from Gmail yet either.
I use a email app for that. My Firefox just hasn’t ever seen me log into anything Google, so it doesn’t even try when I visit YouTube. I don’t even use private windows for YouTube.

admiralteal , in We need to remodulate the phasers

This joke is backwards.

YouTube is the one trying to kill an infinitely adaptable adversary they stand no chance of defeating.

MJBrune ,

You say that like the federation doesn’t win every single time. Humans are more adaptable than the borg.

admiralteal ,

Man, what kind of universe am I in where a Wolf 359-truther is getting favorites.

MJBrune ,

Haha, I don’t know enough about that fan theory to say I believe it or not but I will say no matter what, humans still stopped the Borg cube. Otherwise Earth would have gotten assimilated.

takeda ,

They are “remodulating” chrome. If you continue to use chrome and any browser based on it, you might soon realize that adblocking doesn’t work anymore, because filtering support was neutered and you no longer will be able to switch to Firefox, as they will outright block it as it allows to block ads.

It is important to use Firefox now to make sure sites won’t start blocking it.

roguetrick ,

If YouTube ever blocks Firefox alphabet will finally be broken up.

Serinus ,

Wanna bet? There are ways to frog in a boiling pot this. And chrome isn’t the only browser that will support blocking Firefox. (They’ll argue Chromium is not Google, only Chrome).

roguetrick ,

That's a fig leaf. US courts might agree with that argument, but European courts will see that it all is monopolistic practices to support their ad business. YouTube itself can't survive market dominance without it's preferential deals with it's parent company's hosting and ads. Ask viemo how using cloud hosting to serve video and third party ads works out. It would be suicidal. The truth is they ALREADY should be broken up.

Google likely will be one of the last ones to do it (exactly so it will be hard to to put them in court). I already see Microsoft (surprise!) do this and asking to use Chrome or Edge.

Sounds like websites should subsidize firefox users by serving MORE ads to chrome users.

negativenull ,

Reverse the polarity, Geordi!

MossyFeathers ,

You say that but Google is working on shoving a drm scheme into Chrome that’d keep you from being able to modify sites (e.g. ad and script blocking) and, due to the sheer market share that chrome and Chromium-based browsers have, Google can kinda just do whatever they want. Of course, it’s ultimately up to the site owners to implement it, but you know probably 90% of sites will use it.

Thank god for firefox!
