The 8bitdo ultimate you linked to is great. To be clear I have only used it with Windows.

But if you get it there is a hitch that’s not made clear anywhere- in order to use on 2.4ghz mode (with the dongle) with gyro enabled, you need to downgrade the firmware to an old beta version 8bitdo doesn’t host anymore. Someone uploaded it to google drive in that reddit thread I linked to.

Yeah it is a beta, but the actual final update that was released lacked that gyro functionality over 2.4ghz that was in the beta. So yeah, you kinda do need to “downgrade”.

Hopefully they do release an update with that functionality enabled one day but it’s been well over a year now and they don’t even officially provide that beta version anymore. So it’s not looking hopeful.

DISCO S5 has been phenomenal

Two episodes to go. I’m gutted this is going to be the end, just as the show truly found its stride and grew the beard. Feels a lot like the end of Enterprise. Every season has been better than the last, and the earlier episodes were pretty good. I recently started rewatching S1 after getting an IRL friend into it and he’s...

Agreed on all counts! I was personally not a big fan of S1-S3 at all, but S4 really blew me away and this season is even better. It really sucks that they decided to stop it after it finally found it’s flow. Like you said I am at least glad they experimented with something different.

I’m sorry so many of the fans are haters.

The motivation of the people that watch a show they don’t even like, then write about it online just blows my mind.

I think season one did everything great except the plot which felt like they were trying to do 100 things at once. I was happy to see by time season 4 came around they calmed down and focused on one story much better.

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

So glad to see this opinion, I think season four is one of the best seasons of trek out there, and it’s weird because I think 1-3 are not great at all. I feel the same way about Enterprise.

Definitely. Zero complaints with the score, sets, uniforms, etc.

The devs did a Q&A that answer pretty much every question in this comment section: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwz2iZwYpgg

I don’t disagree, but discoverability is important. On the flipside there are so many times in FOSS world where I’ve actively looked for a tool for months, only to give up and then months later have someone randomly mention it in a thread where I discover it has existed for years.

This is the second time Book’s extrasensory abilities have been the key to solving one of the clues, the first being in “Jinaal”.

Yeah he’s gonna die in the finale isn’t he

Star Trek (derogatory)

I can feel what this means in my gut

Asking an llm to do things it’s particularly bad at and being surprised that it isn’t good at it that the company that makes it says it’s really, really, good at it.

This image isn’t making fun of GPT, it’s making fun of the people who pretend GPT is something it’s not.

This is really cool, it would be nice to have some quick options like start minimized or minimize to tray.

Or Nativefier (which uses electron) but with a nice GUI.

Oh no I didn’t realize it had ended! Maybe someone else will pick it back up.

Little help here linux guys? Trying to figure out what distro to use

Yeah. It’s another one of these. But! Here me out! So I have some experience using Linux. Run some VMs for services I run in my home, I switched my surface book 3 (funnily enough) to ubuntu for my work computer as I was getting more and more frustrated by windows 11 and it turned out really good. Was able to completely get off...

Mint or Zorin for those with windows experience, Ubuntu for those used to Macintosh, are all great “just works” distros. Don’t overthink it, OP!

I have trouble believing that last bit. My Mastodon feed is always extremely full of scientists and Mastodon has almost 3x the active users that BlueSky does.

Ep 522: To The Podcast (Voyager Series Retrospective) (maximumfun.org)

When Voyager wrapped up leaving everyone wanting more, pitching some spicy alternate endings could have avoided the All Good Things comparison. But if there’s no extra time to make a finale truly great, expectations shouldn’t be too high for for a Star Trek podcast either. Why exactly is local news suffering? How did the...

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Y’know I re-watched it recently and it was much better than I remembered. I still found the Xindi thing kinda boring, but there are a lot of individual Season three episodes that are pretty good. And Season Four is actually really amazing. Maybe give it a chance.

Introducing c/DoctorWho!

We’ve been interested in hosting communities that aren’t exactly Star Trek, but also make a certain kind of sense for this instance for a while. - Quark’s was the first step, and now we’ve decided to pull the trigger on !doctorwho - with the new season up and running, this seems like as good a time as any. Whovians new...

Ironically, being a comedy episode it’s not very representative!

Corgana,
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Good point! I forgot that it was mostly the two of them on the planet. It is also somewhat unusual in that there is no distinct B-plot. The events that take place in orbit are directly related.

Corgana,

I picked “Doomsday Machine” but Corbomite Maneuver is also really good. Classic in multiple senses of the word.

Space Babies was very RTD but I actually thought it was charming and pretty fun. Ncuti has a lot of promise, too.

Especially in this season it so obvious how Tilly’s intelligence manifests in being able to bypass entire complexes of prejudice and social norms (perceived and unconscious, spoken and unspoken) whether they be human or alien, and get right to the point with somebody. In an organization that is constantly trying to establish trust with a variety of unknown actors, Tilly is an incredible asset.

Very well said!
