Amidst Franchise Changes, Star Trek: Lower Decks' Mike McMahan Gave Us His Worried Perspective On The Show's Future

Pretty self-explanatory tl/dr: if you like the show, watch it (and get your friends onboard).

Paramount if you pull an Inside Job and kill LD I SWEAR I’m going to do some things. I don’t know what yet, but I’ll do them!

Damn I really do like the lemmy community more. On other social media aggregators, people are flipping the fuck out.

The more reasonable discourse about this article, on Lemmy is just healthier for everyone’s mental state.

That being said, I tend to agree this is a nothing burger and Leer Decks is likely fine for a few more years. It’s a low budget show and the writing is on point making a broad range of fans happy. I’ve heard this show has actually brought in a lot of new Trek fans too.

My window decorations are off globally in KDE. I don’t remember how I did it. It might be a theme I had to download?

I think ‘better connected’ refers more to feature integration rather than looks. Stuff like KDE Connect.

AppleTV hardware now supports Tailscale, with exit nodes.

I am astonished that Apple allowed this blatant circumvention of region coding, but they did.

Get it while it’s hot, I guess.

This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions

This is the interesting bit here. I assume others will follow in Netflix’s steps shortly (Netflix made a fuckton of money from this) but this would also help you circumvent this crackdown with your Apple subscription…

Kbobabob ,

Yeah, I noticed they added some stuff and annoyingly tried putting it first. I just hid the crap i didn’t want. The live TV actually has a lot of options. I don’t really watch much TV these days but there’s been plenty to choose from so far. I think having the lifetime Plex pass makes it different.

Interesting staging, having Counselor Troi enter in the background, looking at consoles and displays, and making a circuit of the outer bridge before she enters the discussion with Picard and Riker.

@BBC_News_Labs Hi. I don't know if this is two-way or not. At some point a few years ago you created a hex cartogram for UK elections e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50770798 Obviously the constituencies have changed this year so you'll need a new map for the next General Election. We've already made a first draft of a 2023 layout that is open source so may I suggest you use that? https://open-innovations.org/projects/hexmaps/builder.html?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/odileeds/hexmaps/gh-pages/maps/uk-constituencies-2023.hexjson

It can be difficult to search the register where MPs list the gifts they receive.

A fellowship collaboration between editorial and technology teams at the BBC and The Times is trying to fix this with .

@BBC_News_Labs I read the blog post and saw nothing about how they are measuring the performance of LLMs at this task, or how they are validating the results.
Also no info about the resources that would be required to catalog this data the "old-fashioned way" with human indexers using a controlled vocabulary, or a "formerly novel" approach like crowdsourced tags.

From having processed the RMFI, yes, it is hard. It is deliberately so.

It is a shame that UK news organisations don't just commit to creating and maintaining a joint, open, shared, structured version of the RMFI where journalists clean up and tag the data using their actual domain expertise.

Wow, Frisco ISD is just swingin that ban hammer like a drunken monkey, and they appear to hate fantasy with a special kind of hate. Gotta admire young Cameron Samuels. This is what courage looks like.

@Stamets I don't understand the joke

Ilovethebomb ,

There isn’t any, they’re just being assholes to someone who lashed out after having his family insulted.

Because insulting someone’s spouse to their face is fine, but violence is a no-no.

Kecessa ,

The “whore” part was unnecessary, but the joke is that Chris Rock joked her during the Oscar, Will went on stage and slapped him.
