Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Vice Press to Release Star Trek: Lower Decks Fine Art PostersEnglish3·6 months agoI really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.
Not really sold on a full set at the moment.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Study: Increasing minimum wage does not reduce jobsEnglish4·7 months agoNo. They’re aiming for that regardless.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love themEnglish2·7 months agoActually, I didn’t know. Never heard it used in an offensive context before today. But I’ll edit my comment just the same.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love themEnglish91·7 months agoAirbags, Anti lock Brakes, and hopefully leg room are probably bonuses too.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated MedicineEnglish8·8 months agoEeh.
While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.
-
You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.
-
You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.
-
You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,
The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.
Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.

Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Why California Is Considering Banning Food Dyes in SchoolsEnglish12·8 months agoButter used to be dyed yellow. Now no one bats an eye that it’s off white.
It takes time, but new normals take over.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Begins Production on Season 1English2·8 months agoIf we go by the gap between Strange New Worlds beginning filming, and S1’s release, we could see Academy around November of next year.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'BrienEnglish3·8 months agoI feel like Dennis the buffer buff from the Lower Decks S3 Premiere was intended to be O’Brien, (Transporter enthusiast, war veteran) but for whatever reason it didn’t pan out…
… which I honestly felt worked out for the best. Dennis was like my grandpa.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•[Prodigy spoilers] 30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Pays Off Its Strangest Sci-Fi TwistEnglish5·10 months agoDude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Japan forces Apple and Google to allow third-party app stores and paymentsEnglish41·11 months agoIs that last one granting access to closed APIs?
That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’English7·11 months agoNot impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.
And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.
I would recommend looking into a USB Ethernet adapter.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•What adblocker are you using on iOS?English2·11 months agoI liked to use a three tiered approach…
Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.
A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.
For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Nintendo@lemmy.world•[Official] Switch 2 will be announced this fiscal year + June direct confirmedEnglish9·1 year agoStar Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.
Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.
And probably some last minute WiiU ports.
Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Judge holds Trump in contempt for violating gag order in hush money trialEnglish61·1 year agoSo $9K?
For the layman, that’s a lot, but for Trump?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Rooting for Trump to fail has made his stock shorters millionsEnglish38·1 year agoThis reads like a damage control spin.
We’re losing, but actually winning!
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•I'm shocked how much the Appstore sucks in 2024English4·1 year agoThis is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail StoresEnglish1·1 year agoYeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.
A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.
It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail StoresEnglish1·1 year agoI suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.
Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.
Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.
As a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.
The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.
We Know:
I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.
We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.
