Wooster, in StarTrek.website now has a wiki (and mission statement)!
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

I’d be willing to offer my services to develop a LCARS inspired theme. Admittedly, my eyes are more on the Lemmy side than the Wiki side, but I’m not picky.

sk,

@Wooster That sounds like an amazing idea! Since it runs on bookstack i would have to learn how to theme it but i would love to help out.

Wooster,

Ditto, to be honest. My background is primarily in theming for PhpBB, Drupal, and Wordpress to an extent. Bookstack is entirely new to me, and the tactics it implements are surprisingly streamlined if, not what I’m specifically used to.

LCARS also presents unique challenges since practically everything can be done in CSS (which presumably makes it a perfect match for bookstack) but you kinda have to trick CSS into doing what you want with LCARS more creative aspects.

But, assuming we get approval, I’d enjoy collaborating. I’ve always done theming solo, so it’d be a new experience.

I’m into this idea! What would you guys need from us? I’ve opened registration for the wiki so you can make editor accounts, but the theming seems to be largely on the backend.

Wooster,

We’ll need access to the style sheets, bare minimum. (Some robust systems grant this via admin panel, but normally it’s done via file system/template files.) So SFTP access would be appreciated. Also, do you know if the wiki/Lemmy has a concept of restricting theme use by role?

Kind of random, but maybe we could have a place to post out of context Star Trek screencaps? It doesn’t feel quite /c/risa like, but who knows.

Either way I think we should have a community called /c/Q-Continuum even if I have no idea what it should be for. 😅

I’m pretty sure that’s within the rules at c/Risa and c/StarTrek

Stamets, in Studios Keep Actors' Strike Going by Pushing a Horrifying AI Deal
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

Man… I have nothing to do. I wish I was down there. I’d be on the picket line just in support. What the FUCK.

Anticorp, in SAG-AFTRA and Studios Achieve AI Breakthrough; More Negotiations Set For Later Tuesday

I just wanted to point out how amazing it is that the Sistine Chapel was painted 541 years ago and is still emulated in art such as this thumbnail. That’s crazy!

ArtieShaw, in Studios Keep Actors' Strike Going by Pushing a Horrifying AI Deal

Feels like 1997. I'm a little bit surprised it took 25 years for the legal parts of this to come to a head.

https://www.salon.com/1997/07/08/media_49/

Until recently, stars could not foresee that technology would enable the use of their screen work for any reason other than the intended purpose. As today's actors become aware of this, legal experts profess, their wills could become more specific as to how they want to be cast after the final curtain has fallen. But even the most protective of estates may not be prepared for today's body-snatching technologies.

"People are working on totally digital models of people," says Joseph Beard, professor of law at St. John's University and author of "Casting Call at Forest Lawn: The Digital resurrection of Deceased Entertainers" (High Technology Law Journal, 1993). "Instead of cutting them out of an existing film, you'll be able to create a Marilyn Monroe and not rely on old films in order to put her in something new."

I think it’s only in the last decade or so that it’s become a practical reality, with likenesses of deceased actors popping up in films. Until this point, it’s probably been enough of a hypothetical that it wasn’t worth fighting over.

I hope that they’re actually legitimately happy with the outcome and it not being the bare minimum that’s acceptable.

Blackout, in StarTrek.website now has a wiki (and mission statement)!
@Blackout@startrek.website avatar

There is nothing up for Risa yet, I’d like to volunteer to fill that page. I’ll fill it up soooo good. What’s a wiki?

Admin,
@Admin@startrek.website avatar

I changed the wiki registration to open so please go ahead and do whatever (I will regret this won’t I?)

RIP_Cheems, in Warner Bros. Discovery just canned another nearly finished film

THEY WERE MAKING WHAT? AND THEY WONT FINISH IT?

Thisfox,

What worries me more is just how many times this has happened, again and again.

Zaslav strikes again.

BOOM

You got Zaslav’d.

@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

This recent tax write-off bullshit needs to stop. How is this a thing only now or have we been missing out on decades of movies that were axed like this?

nocturne213, in Warner Bros. Discovery just canned another nearly finished film

This time, Warner Bros. Discovery shelved Coyote vs. Acme starring John Cena for a $30 million tax write-off.

Pay no attention to the fact I just accidentally posted everything with my alt account because I forgot to switch back over to this one on my app. No Sir. Didn’t happen.
