I'm getting tired of making generally bad OC
I’ve made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I’m either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn’t work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I’m just discouraged by the lack of even comments....
How do you recall your most used commands?
For example, things you do often but not often enough to make a muscle memory? On Linux systems with Bash, I just use bash aliases. If I do it more than once, It gets an alias or a script; cause I won’t remember next time. Example of my current desktop aliases :...

living in Europe
I have a very hard time reconciling contemporary european tendens to right wing to my own moral compass. How do you guys (if feeling the same) deal with it? If you feel different , i would also like to hear your thoughts.
Startrek.website will be down for scheduled maintenance from 12AM-1AM CST tonight. EDIT: all done!
We’ll be testing out a monitoring tool that should help us identify/isolate minor outages as they arise....
Having trouble creating an account on startrek.website
I can’t seem to get past the captachas - there seem to only be two that alternate when you hit refresh, and neither seems to accept the correct answer (using the audio to confirm). Is anyone else running into the same issue?
Suggestion: User Submitted Emojis
One thing that I think would be nice would be to have a true plethora of custom star trek emojis available for us to use here. (Perhaps this is already a thing and I just dont know about it?)...
[support] Has anyone else been having trouble interacting with Lemmy off and on these past few days?
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been experiencing quite a bit of sluggishness and errors (failure to post, failure to mark as read, failure to fetch comments, etc), my feed seems to get stuck for long periods of time without updating, and any time I try to open my profile view, it can take a full minute (it might be...
Why does most of the spam I see come from kbin accounts?
Whenever I see a run of spam posts on the fediverse, I’ve taken to looking at the usernames behind them. Nine times out of ten, they turn out to be from kbin instances. Here’s a recent example:...
Enterprise: Where are the strange new worlds?
I recently finished Enterprise season 3, and oh gods that was a slog at the end. Like 5 plot-heavy episodes in a row! No fun, no whimsy, no exploration. It’s the least star-trekky I have ever seen Star Trek. So I finished it, and thought “can we see some strange new worlds now?” And then Archer was taken prisoner by nazis...

Anyone know the singer for the Klingon portion of 'We Are One'?
I know that the utterly incomparable Bruce Horak came back not as Hemmer but as the Klingon for this episode. However the singer, was that Bruce too? If so then I’m genuinely shocked. I thought for sure that it was Weird Al. It sounds almost identical. If it’s not Weird Al himself then it’s a pitch perfect double....

What are some of your favorite communities?
I’ve been looking around for some more communities to subscribe to and thought I should ask you guys
Where do you fall politically?
I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism,...

What songs are on what Trek characters holo-playlists?
I am scrolling through Spotify, looking for something to tickle my fancy, and I come across this slice of pure fucking funk. The immediate first thought I had was of Riker playing alongside all of them....
Rewatching Avatar and Avatar 2 on blu ray
This week i’ve decided to rewatch the avatar films on blu ray. I picked up the special editions with the 3 hours worth of extras for each film. I’ve rewatched the first film and some extras. I’m a casual fan at best and by no means a movie critic, but here arey impressions....
What's the consensus here regarding Babylon Five?
I have the series on DVD but I’ve never seriously cracked it, only seen a few episodes. Was wondering what people here think, is it as good as the internet often says it is? I know it was an inspiration for one of my favorite franchises (Mass Effect) and The Orville had a cute reference to it by making its main actor the...
Some formatting questions
So, I have some questions about formatting on this site:...
What is the best community for discussing Star Trek tech?
So, I have some ideas for discussing Star Trek Tech (Both ideas for how to do some IRL, and some ideas for tech based on other star-trek tech, not necessarily IRL, but “IRL” if StarTrek was 100% accurate)...
Some general questions about this (startrek.website, not lemmy), (If this is the wrong community, sorry. That's one of my questions lol...)
So, I am confused by some things with this website, and as this is a “general” community, I thought Quarks would be the most likely to be the place to post it…...
