Ken Kocienda, the engineer who led the team that created the original iPhone keyboard and predictive text system, wrote a book titled “Creative Selection: Inside Apple’s Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs.” So there’s at least one real engineer for you who speaks highly of Jobs.
They aren’t nameless. They write books and go on podcasts, their thoughts on Jobs are available to us. Plenty of them praise Jobs for driving them to do their best work.
It’s not false advertising because it did everything it was advertised to do in the introductory demo when it went on sale six months later. Google is the one faking their demos.
We all know the bubbles will still be green
Bingo. It was kinda cute at first when it was still trying to be funny, but as the parody pretense slowly fell away it just got boring.
The strangest part about it is how each episode is a remix of a Trek episode and yet the remix makes it very clear that the writers just don’t get it. For example, season 2’s “Blood of Patriots” is a rearrangement of “The Wounded,” but the subplot about Mercer and Malloy being best friends forever trivializes what TNG successfully depicted as a nuanced dilemma.
There’s no accounting for taste, but it genuinely surprises me that there seems to be so many Star Trek fans who think it’s any good. On the other hand, it seems pretty safe to say that season 3 was the last, so clearly the actual numbers were unremarkable.
You’re characterizing what is likely to be the best reviewed game of the year as “nothing special” and you “don’t see how” that’s a hot take? Really?
What exactly do you think “hot take” means?
Hence, “hot take.”
Compared to my previous take this one is ice cold, but Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom.
That’s all true and it’s never really bothered me because, possible hot take incoming, PS exclusives are pretty milquetoast. I will concede that Sony’s first party studios have honed their ability to make “open world third person action game with crafting and stealth elements” with impressive consistency, but that’s the most common genre of AAA game and IMO Sony isn’t even making the best ones, just accessible and consistently above average ones.
If you want that kind of game you have a zillion options on every platform.
PC player complaining about the cost of a PlayStation is new to me. Isn’t it normally the other way around? Isn’t a PS5 about as expensive as a decent GPU alone?
I’m guessing it was a different instance because we don’t have any powermods. (I actually didn’t realize Lemmy already has powermods, sheesh!) Most of us just mod one community on our instance and I don’t think any of us are modding on other instances.
Regardless, I’ll keep an eye out for anything fishy.
That’s disheartening to hear. Can you share any more detail? If we’ve got a mod causing drama somewhere I can take it up with our admins.
And we’re updated! Thank you for your advice, we really appreciate it.
Ahh, ok. That’s helpful, thanks!
This is going to seem silly in the context of such a severe exploit but one quirk about our instance is that we literally do not have a “general discussion” /c/. The biggest one is scoped to Star Trek and so a Lemmy exploit is obviously outside the scope of … Star Trek. I would wager that’s the main reason the mod removed the post, but I will admit that just pointing this out, I feel like the forum mod from the short story Wikihistory.
I’m in contact with the admins who manage the hosting, they are coordinating an update 0.18.2-rc1 as we speak. Also, there’s already been some discussion about setting up a general discussion /c/ on our instance and so I’ll include instance security in the scope of that /c/.
You mentioned elsewhere in this thread there is a Lemmy admins Matrix room. Is my instance big enough for my admins to be invited? If yes, who can I point them at to get in?
This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see.
Hi, mod of a community on the instance in question here. Why is this response harmful? What should we have done instead?
This is a great list and these all look amazing. Thank you for taking the time to compile it and share!
