Actually it’s gnu/star trek
That is awesome. Yoinked for my avatar!
Everyone hates on gnuTrek
Discovery sucks but all the rest are fantastic, Prodigy is a kids show and still fits right in while continuing Janeway’s story
Okay, no Linux, no Star Trek. Cool cool. But you’re a femboy furry, right?
Since I’ve started using Lemmy,
- My primary desktop OS has become Linux
- I have began identifying as genderfluid
Lemmy pipeline real?
I mean, honestly it’s been something I’ve been considering for ages (Linux). It’s just that I needed a new OC to play games (old CPU is from 2009 lol). And Windows 11 is ass and Proton works so well for games on Linux now. I’m very happy.
Also genderfluid, happy pride heh, but that’s been a good thing too.
If so they’d be into Linux by default.
I oddly started watching star trek of because of all the fire memes on lemmy
I switched to Linux (not arch btw) around the same time as joining Lemmy. And I’ve still not seen any trek apart from a couple of the movies, which I quite liked. We’re contemplating starting at the very start
Starting from the beginning is the absolute best, in my opinion. The original series is so much fun, and as much as I love TNG and others, I know that nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had. It was prime time, mainstream, and riding the energy that the country had for space in the 1960s, with a message of hope and cooperation. That being said, prepare for a decent mix of goofiness too, lol.
nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had.
That’s part of the reason why I probably wouldn’t recommend old trek first to somebody. We don’t have the benefit of being able to go back to the cultural moment of the '60s Trek.
I compare it to how Wizard of Oz is a great movie, but you can’t really experience the transition to color that happened in the movie the same way someone in 1939 did. Plenty of TV shows were still in black and white all the way into the '60s.
There is some really terrible original Trek, whose only defense is being a product of the time. That said, you will still see the first interracial kiss on broadcast TV. The first season of The Next Generation is pretty stilted, but is still decent in my opinion. And, as is the overarching theme for Trek, questions about who, what, and why we are will be asked, and sometimes answers will be proposed.
The Gorn was laughable, but in SNW they are legitimately terrifying. The fact that every series has ties and often callbacks to others in the timeline is one of my favorite things about Trek, like Doctor Who it’s been going for decades but every part of the history is fodder for more exploration. DS9s Tribble episode is a great example, editing Sisko and Dax in behind Kirk and Spock
Yeah, the Gorn were so ridiculous, but also gave rise to Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. The Tribbles were also ridiculous, but so fun, and a great nostalgic nod to TOS in DS9.
OG star Trek is a product of it’s time. While revolutionary and a great source of solid sci Fi, it’s also got the old tv style to it. Extremely long pauses, close ups forever, agonizingly long just to get out one line then repeat.
Would recommend… After you’ve watched a more modern star Trek :)
TNG is a favorite for a good reason. Maybe from season 3 on to start. It’s also going to seem extremely slow / no music compared to modern TV. But it’s overall quality shit.
How’d you like it?
I’ve just skipped around episodes in Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager but I love most of it.
Homefront and Paradise Lost might be some of the best television I’ve ever seen. The fact that those episodes came out before 9/11 might be the craziest piece of foreshadowing I’ve ever seen.
Little green men was my favorite though.
That’s awesome! Lower decks and Strange New Worlds are going to be a treat for you, save them for later
Lower decks is simply the best trek ever.
FYI DS9 isn’t really a “skip around” series. Plenty of long plot arcs as the series goes on.
It’s really not but I’ve been watching on Pluto because that’s what I have access to
It’s absolutely a slip around series :) the plots you’re probably referring to really only kick in the last half of the series.
only kick in the last half of the series.
That’s what I meant by “as the series goes on.”
The ferengi were a terrible idea done terribly… until DS9. They really find their stride
Although I think they are best in the ep where quark sells weapons. Something about his cousin is peak Ferengi
The rewrite of the Ferengi rules of accusation might also be my favorite episode 😂
And In the Pale Moonlight. I hope you didn’t skip that one.
Yeah, skipping around ST is reasonable. I skipped around Voyager a ton and still haven’t filled in the gaps TBH.

I have considered not only figuring out how to setup Linux on my computer but also considered starting to watch Star Trek. It’s been almost a year since I’ve been on Lemmy and I haven’t caved yet… But my time may be coming soon…
So you’re a BSD user and Stargate fan?
They use Haiku and watch Farscape.
TempleOS and BSG
So say we all.
Babylon 5, and I multi boot.
GASP
It’s okay, BSD, Haiku, and even Amiga users are welcome too.
OS/2?
edit: I had no idea - it lives
Temple OS user here, I’ve been welcomed as well.
You just posted it to a server hosted on linux. You use Linux friend. One of us one of us gooble gobble one of us.
It’s the year of the linux server.
Always has been.
I paid for winrar on windows, I’m going to make it every penny’s worth
You paid?
You’re weird.
… I mean, we’re all l weird, so that’s not really saying anything.
I wish I could give you a medal, you deserve it
I started getting into Star Trek last week and I’m planning to use Linux as soon as I get a laptop of my own. Lemmy has finally consumed me.
I just discovered Ubuntu Touch is an option for my next phone and am seriously considering a Volla Phone!
I assume Das Kapital is already on your bookshelf?
Damn, that box I haven’t checked yet.
Unfortunately you’re going to have to rewatch every episode of Star Trek you previously watched, but this time use Linux to do it.
One of us, One of us
Go deep! Go CachyOS!
And if you get an Nvidia laptop, welcome to hell :)
But are you at least a socialist?
Standing next to mass grave
“But what kind of socialist are you?”
Fed posting
Alex Garland, Yuk.
As bad as Kathryn-Von Riefenstahl-Bigelow.I have mixed feelings about the movie, but that was a good line and Jesse Plemons delivered it well.
He’s a good actor, he shouldn’t do garbage movies.
At least?
This implies there are levels or grades, here. What’s at the top of the pyramid?
Begin leftist infight in 3… 2 … 1…
This thread really pinning Lemmy down.
Ah leftist infighting goes all the way back to the French Revolution in fairness but… Yeah I can’t disagree. Like I’m a male shiny white western Linux user who loves Star Trek.
I’m like those lads you see in cargo shorts and sandals on holiday. FML.
Absolute basic Lemmy user.
That’s starting to sound like a hierarchy 🏴
Lol in the original thread, I mentioned that I forgot to add communist to the meme.
Joke’s on you, I use star trek and watch Linux.
Better not mention that you don’t use Firefox
Twice is a coincidence, thrice is a conspiracy
Almost on 2 years now…
Yep, great API exodus.
