I’m behind a full season of #StarTrekDiscovery so I’m positive I’ll probably be spoiled before the end of the series. The sad part though is I don’t think I care.

The show got better near the end of S3 but honestly I still don’t like the way Bernham has treated Saru. The show’s never really felt like #StarTrek to me either, and for my money the best thing to come out of it was Pike and Strange New Worlds.

I know a lot of you out there love it tho, so you do you. I’m happy for ya. Enjoy! 🖖

melis,

@gedeonm @CStamp A die-hard ST fan friend of mine called it ‘okay science fiction, but trek it is not’.

The NFL is poised to drastically increase the number of people of color leading teams this year, but veteran white coaches with past success who are looking for new homes could threaten that. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/01/23/more-sports/nfl-diversity-push/?utm_content=buffer120e9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

melis,

@thejapantimes Yup. With a 72-year old Bill Belichick being let go, you’d think we would see some new faces.

There is no human genre of music that if you listen to some of the most popular songs and some of the “critically acclaimed” songs you won’t be able to find at least one song that’s interesting enough to listen to a few times and end up liking… challenge.

Give me a genre.

melis,

@futurebird this is going to turn into a playlist isn’t it?
I give you ‘Bazart - Goud’. A Belgian band singing in Dutch.

I like it!

when i'm elected president i'm making it illegal to use "right-size" as a verb.

you're not "right-sizing your organization", you're laying people off

melis,

@molly0xfff my head honcho once used the word ‘rightsourcing’ in order to avoid ‘outsourcing’…

Reddit had a no good, very bad week. Reversing on its 15-year support of 3rd party apps, new API pricing makes using anything other than the official app financially unviable. And with just 30-days before changes take effect, indie devs are on the hook for potentially millions of dollars of unexpected costs and/or App Store refunds. I talked with @christianselig about how it has affected Apollo, the best iOS Reddit client out there.

melis,

@curiousbadger @snazzyq @christianselig I was hoping this question would have been asked and answered also. If all users of Apollo essentially use the same token, you’re not going to be able to service them with only 60 request/minute.

I continue to be surprised that new platform-level CSS features seem to be rolling out so fast that framework and library abstractions on top of CSS are having a hard time keeping up.

Feels unprecedented but it’s a huge vote in favor of Writing CSS as CSS in CSS.

melis,

@zachleat @philsherry or, and hear me out …

Poll: The AI hype bubble is the new crypto hype bubble. Do you Agree or Disagree?

melis,

@nixCraft there’s aspects of bubble there, sure. And it is definitely being used to hype, scam, scare people out of money.

And I insist on calling AI, ‘Auto-adapting Heuristics’, which probably is enough of an indicator of how little I actually understand it.

One is a ‘mad libs on speed’ while the other is ‘mostly scammy’. Though neither is harmless in the same way that nothing is harmless when it enables unscrupulous individuals to fast track their schemes.
