Any plans on timing of upgrading to 0.19.x?

I’m just curious.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Yes - our current approach is to wait ~2 weeks following a release, in case their are any significant bugs.

In the case of v. 0.19, it appears there have been some significant federation-related bugs, so the wait might be a little longer while we see how it all shakes out.

That seems entirely reasonable. Thank for the info. I was just curious is all.

Read Asimov’s Robots series. !Stop at Asimov’s Robots series! I want Daneel damn it! We could use a Demerzel but not the rest of Foundation or the Galactic authoritarian nonsense.

Reverendender, in Flipboard Begins to Federate

Wow I haven’t heard of Flipboard in like 10 years. Is it any good right now?

I’m honestly not too sure, but I would think joining the fediverse can only help.

Maybe pay some of these actors less and pay everyone fairly

Varyk, in living in Europe

I don’t stay in one place too long. When I first arrive in a place I can trick myself into hoping that community I’ve just moved to is progressive, kind and curious. I like living in places I can’t speak the language of, also.

Other travelers are the most communal and open-minded people I know and I feel comfortable around them because I know they’re actually listening when I talk and experiencing the moment, sedentary people tend to cultivate arbitrary or circumstantial opinions they misrepresent as considered values that they huddle behind and reinforce.

DestroyerOfWorlds, in Titmouse Foundation Partners With Warrior Art Camp To Advance Diverse Animation Talent Through Scholarship Program

cool. Is Titmouse a Union house?

Both their New York and Vancouver studios have joined IATSE in the last few years - the Canadian studio was the first animation house in the country to join a union, ever.

So they think it’s better to get a tax write off of half the cost, and sell it to a streamer to cover the other half, than make money and profit with a global cinematic release?

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

I’m not sure it’s accurate to say that they “think.”

Well, I’m not going to assume that every decision made by the senior decision-makers in a company is rational for the firm or for ‘maximizing shareholder wealth’ in the long term.

CEOs and executives may act in their own, or their firm’s short term interests, they can however also get complex decisions entirely wrong. Not to mention tax law can incentivize some sub rational behaviour.

There are enough historical cases of absolutely bad thinking running companies into the ground, with deceptive practices that leave lenders and subcontractors short.

The stock market’s reaction to act against bad management can be tardy.

(I’m setting aside corporations taking responsibility for larger societal benefits here because US SEC norms for publicly traded corporations don’t provide for that the way they are in Canadian or European law. In the other hand, there may be some arguments that some of these actions are anticompetitive, and worthy of antitrust investigation.)

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!

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

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

ambitious_bones, in Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary Celebrations Begin November 25

Does that mean Doctor Who is a Disney Property now?

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

No, it’s just a global licensing deal.

EmergMemeHologram, in Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary Celebrations Begin November 25

What about the Doctor whose 60th anniversary celebrations begin in November?

Hey guys, what if we ruined quantum leap? Done.

some_guy, in ‘Daredevil’ Hits Reset Button as Marvel Overhauls Its TV Business

They had an excellent Daredevil on Netflix and just abandoned it.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

By pretty much all accounts, Netflix cancelled it.

Thisfox, in Images from this instance aren't arriving at my instance?

Yeah similar thing happening to me but with another different instance.
