Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.

All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn't realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.

Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!

I most certainly am going to, I've watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

What a great episode though. I just finished a rewatch of TOS a few weeks ago, and I love it so much.

Every night I look forward to new adventures on whatever Star Trek series that I've come to.

If I fall a sleep during an episode, I blame the episode, and I haven't regretted cutting them short like that. The good ones will be worth it and most of the bad ones too, but when the android character is playing a theater part of Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck and I'm supposed to give a shit? No.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Likewise. I downloaded what's supposed to be every episode. I don't know how I'm going to find the time to watch all this. Very intimidating.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Holy shit i just googled it and there are 903 episodes including the movies...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

It took me like a week to download what I think is all of them from a decent cable connection. I do intend to watch this but it's going to take me like a year given that I have a job.

However, I'm very privileged in a sense. I get to watch them for the first time. How many fans would love to rewatch episodes for the first time?

With startrek.website we'd hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it's own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.

Instead it turned out "Star Trek and Linux" was enough to satisfy nearly everyone's tastes (both subtle and gross).

Arch...? You mean Jonathan Archer. I understood this Star Trek reference.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Errrrrr... Exactly!

This meme got the LW logo to represent Lemmy. We can understand why there is no more :-(

But in reality, there is dbzer0, blahaj, slrpnk, and more too

I've been enjoying ttrpg.network but hopefully more rpg nerds come to this instance in time.

The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.

It kinda sucks if you don't use Linux and don't watch Star Trek though :/

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

I once told Lemmy users that I liked MacOS. I still haven’t recovered from the beating.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lmao. I don't really care what OS people use. I'm not really passionate about any OS. I just use it as a medium to do things I enjoy so I'm really not interested in any OS talk about any operating system. I use all 3 OS daily pretty much (Linux, Mac and Windows).

You can fix both of those problems in the same evening :)

Start watched TNG, I used to get an episode or 2 between work and gym and it was bliss. Wish I could watch it again for the first time.

The rest hasn't been as good, some highlights but nothing grabs me nearly as much.

I watch star trek but don't use Linux as a primary operating system due to it not meeting specific requirements of mine

Lemmy. The final frontier.

These are the forums of the Lemmy communities.

Its continuing mission to explore strange new posts. To seek out new memes and new discussions.

To boldly go where no social media has gone before.

All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek's case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

based on rejecting individual ownership

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

that and communists, a lot of communists.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And not always the chill “I live on a commune and make shirts out of hemp” communists. We’re talking about the “let’s have an armed revolution” communists.

And nobody mentioned beans?

You can't have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yeah and also that time mizu wanted to skip pooping for 3 days

Hey now, that's unfair. It's Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

You're such a fake leftist.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

They were here first, we are just the June Exiles.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

sudo make it so

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Just as Tim Berners-Lee intended 👃

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Hey uhhhh you know Battletech and Warhammer are both pretty cool. They’re kinda like Star Trek (except the opposite).

Anyways.
