The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie in c/[email protected]
[–] reddig33 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I think the dark humor is what kills this for me. A “mission impossible” style spy show set in the Star Trek universe would be fine. An empress from the mirror universe who gets her kicks killing and eating people with a wink and a nod to the audience isn’t anything I’m interested in.

Would be nice to have high speed rail instead of something that takes all day to make a trip that a car makes in four hours.

Is it really an “air” if it has a camera bump sticking out of it?

How many times are they going to remake this? What’s next, yet another remake of His Dark Materials?

Ya know there are lots of unknowns in Hollywood looking for work. You don’t have to cast the same action stars in every franchise.

If what is burned is used to creat electricity, then in a way it is recycling. Burning trash isn’t a bad thing if it’s done properly and if what’s burned isn’t otherwise recyclable. Plastics should probably be burned at this point rather than thrown in a landfill or tossed in the ocean.

Meh. There are voting systems that:

  • take your vote electronically
  • print out a readable receipt of your selections so you can double check it
  • then scan your receipt to cast your vote

This means you can get an instant result, audit the system, and do a hand recount. Not all voting computers are garbage. Both parties should be pushing for audits and hand counts as a safety check.

‘Not second screen enough’: is Netflix deliberately dumbing down TV so people can watch while scrolling? in c/aboringdystopia
[–] reddig33 33 points 1 day ago

They are dumbing down TV because they’ve changed their target audience to ad-driven plans.

Going in circles (self.severance)

I think this show is making the same mistake as “Stranger Things” by just stretching the same characters and story across five seasons. The first season was perfect. I’d rather see a new storyline in season two with new characters and a time jump. The season one characters have had their story already told.

Also casting directors please stop casting the same people over and over. Here comes Alia Shawkat fresh off her 20 episode stint on “The Old Man”. Next thing you know, Pedro Pascal is going to pop up on Severance too. One of the nice things about Severance is all the actors I hadn’t seen before or seen in a long time (Bob Balaban!).

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

Does getting a flu shot do anything for bird flu? (self.asklemmy)

I keep hearing I should get a flu shot to help prevent bird flu — but I thought flu shots only prevented illness from the particular strains the shot was designed for. Does getting a traditional flu shot do anything to prevent bird flu transmission?

Silo season 2 - anyone else watching? (self.television)

[SPOILERS]

So far I’m kind of disappointed that they are showing what’s going on in the first Silo. Makes it feel like we are going in circles.

I wish they had edited it so we see Juliet’s adventure until she finally leaves to return to the original silo. Then do an episode of catch up as to what has been happening there. Then her arrival.

Honestly I was far more interested in what’s happening outside the Silo and the mystery, and not rehashing the characters from the first season other than Juliet.

If you’ve read the books — are they following the story pretty closely?

Is there a setting somewhere in Plex or on the server so that some songs don’t play loud and others so soft? Thanks in advance.

This is just greenwashing the original plan to add another natural gas power plant. What a scam. “Oh it could eventually run on hydrogen too. In five years. Maybe?”

Plex remote — web or app? (self.plex)

Are there any good iOS apps for rating songs while they play in Plex on the TV? I can’t find a way to rate songs using an AppleTV and its remote.

I did try the Plex app on the phone, but you have to leave it as the frontmost app or it will disconnect by the next time you open it (app flushes/sleeps). If it doesn’t disconnect then instead you get a mismatch of what’s playing and what can be rated (album art/track name/rating pane don’t match). There’s also no widgets from the app to do this from on iOS.

Or is there a web app I can run on the server and connect to from the phone’s web browser to rate items as they play?
