Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.
I have no regrets joining
I use Arch btw - live long and prosper lemmings
I’m on mbin BTW. The fediverse arch.
then why is it kbin.life?
All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek’s case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.
With startrek.website we thought creating a Star Trek themed instance would encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would inspire a flourishing of myriad topics run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and creative that not even Reddit could further justify it’s own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.
Instead it turned out “Star Trek and Linux” was enough to keep everyone happy.
I’ve been enjoying ttrpg.network but hopefully more rpg nerds come to this instance in time.
I use Arch, btw.
this?
?Computer, end program.
…
“Authorization denied”
Sudo computer end program
Perfect!
There’s also ttrpg.network
This meme got the LW logo to represent Lemmy. We can understand why there is no more :-(
But in reality, there is dbzer0, blahaj, slrpnk, and more too
Nerds have always been easy to please.
Just as Tim Berners-Lee intended 👃
All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn’t realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.
Likewise. I downloaded what’s supposed to be every episode. I don’t know how I’m going to find the time to watch all this. Very intimidating.
Holy shit i just googled it and there are 903 episodes including the movies…
It took me like a week to download what I think is all of them from a decent cable connection. I do intend to watch this but it’s going to take me like a year given that I have a job.
However, I’m very privileged in a sense. I get to watch them for the first time. How many fans would love to rewatch episodes for the first time?
Does that include all the animated stuff, do you know?
Not sure, i just googled, dont have time to count them all myself lol so damn many
If you’re looking for a way to start, Next Generation (TNG) is a good entry point, though you might want to start with season 3 (it’s when it really started to feel polished). If you like that then Voyager is similarly episodic and easy to watch, though the writers could’ve treated some of the characters a little better in that. Modern episodic trek is Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, also both immediately fun and easy to get into.
Deep Space 9 is what started trek on having longer serialized arcs, and Enterprise also has long story lines (the entirety of season 3 was one arc).
And I’ll probably get some disagreement for this, but despite having grown up on trek and watched almost everything that’s out there (I think I just have 1 or 2 seasons of Discovery left), I’ve never really been able to watch much of the original series. It just feels way too dated for me. Maybe if the guys over at the Greatest Generation podcast pick it up I’ll try to work through it.
I wanted to start with TNG but my partner insisted on starting at the beginning, that being said its been really fun watching tropes get introduced, like Kirk getting his shirt ripped and bones saying, “I’m a doctor not a -----” its really good if you even slightly enjoy campy stuff and has gotten tons of laughs from us as we watch it. But yeah TNG is the best place to start imo.
Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!
I most certainly am going to, I’ve watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.
What a great episode though. I just finished a rewatch of TOS a few weeks ago, and I love it so much.
Every night I look forward to new adventures on whatever Star Trek series that I’ve come to.
If I fall a sleep during an episode, I blame the episode, and I haven’t regretted cutting them short like that. The good ones will be worth it and most of the bad ones too, but when the android character is playing a theater part of Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck and I’m supposed to give a shit? No.
And so much porn with strange fantasies.
That’s just the internet
But it doesn’t shown like Lemmy. I’ve never seen bondage as much as this before 💀😄
Lucky you hehe
No but really it’s a good idea to block lemmynsfw on your main and it will reduce the amount of porn on your feed by 99%
But that’s no fun. I want to be surprised by the occasional bondage
Basic rule of any new tech, first geeks, then porn and after that the normal people
The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.
It kinda sucks if you don’t use Linux and don’t watch Star Trek though :/
I watch star trek but don’t use Linux as a primary operating system due to it not meeting specific requirements of mine
just out of curiosity may I ask what those are
Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
I have found My People.
Hey now, that’s unfair. It’s Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!
You’re such a fake leftist.
Aww. Great meme. I do my part and try to post pictures in !Vancouver@lemmy.ca and !Toronto@lemmy.ca every few days.
Once I’m done posting all my pictures, in a few months, I will probably repost them to a pictures community on Lemmy for more people to see.
I have RSS feeds for the top Reddit and Lemmy posts and Lemmy always has the best memes.
And nobody mentioned beans?
You can’t have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!
Yeah and also that time mizu wanted to skip pooping for 3 days
