  • There’s a lot of shit writing in all the star treks (less so in lower decks maybe) but discovery is consistently, deeply badly written, and in ways that often have a pretty bad underlying meaning.

    And also, people complain on Discovery for different reasons. Nazis find it too woke because they don’t pretend that lgbt people don’t exist, I find it fakely woke but actually discriminating against minorities while pretending to defend them.

    In a way, Discovery is a shittily written, enlightened-centrist version of star trek, so I think it’s good that people shit on it. Now people should obviously shit on a lot of other star treks like Enterprise and Picard, but I’m certainly not going to stop shitting on discovery in the meanwhile.












  • Like it or not, Windows is the dominant operating system. And it’s not even close. That means when we’re having a conversation about designing a User Experience on Linux-based operating systems, that conversation must be bookended by “how do Windows users expect this to work?” And we need to design for that or else everything falls apart.

    Yeah the basis of the whole logic is bullshit.

    This guy is doing the OS equivalent of the left parties trying to be less on the left, to appeal to the far right. It doesn’t work and just ends up with the shit propagating and everyone getting used to it and lowering their standards.
