Just make the screen one gargantuan pixel, and infer the other 2-million.

From memory those bio bits did actually make it into the later ships. The sovereign had them, for example.

The difference between the klingons in TOS and the TOS motion pictures, was that klingons always looked like that, and in DS9, according to Worf, it was due to some unspecified thing that is not discussed with non-Klingons.

But other than that, not really. The official position likely has not changed.

In fandom, it varies. Some people treat it as a cosmetic choice, and that Klingons underwent changes as necessary, and others might stick to the one interpretation of what klingons look like for all of them.

Personally, I’m of the Diaspora opinion, where the varieties of Klingon all coexist, where some of the changes are racial, like they are in humans, and others not.

For example, T’Kuvma house were Klingon supremacists, so it seems likely that some of their more exaggerated features were due to genetic modification on their part to try and enhance their Klingon attributes and remain Klingon.

But B’Elanna? She’s just like that.

They always were. Even when Spock was using them, he only used them when there was no other choice, and even then, there was no generally no small risk to both parties.

From Enterprise, mind melds are treated as something both sensitive and private. Things you do with someone you trust. That seems to have carried over in the intervening centuries, but you’re still not meant to meld with everything willy-nilly.

I didn’t, actually, but thank you.

The Star Trek ones over on startrek.website. They weren’t the most active to begin with, though their activity has dropped a bit more over time.

That “little more complicated” is asking for a lot, though.

Say you’re coming from Reddit, or Facebook, or something.

It would not be unreasonable to believe that, like Reddit, every single Lemmy instance is its own separate, self-contained site.

And that’s even before figuring out federation works, and how to access things from outside of your instance, or all the nuances that come with defederation and all of that. You made the mistake of joining beehaw? Whoops, all the other “subs” are now inaccessible, because beehaw is not connected to any of the others.

Central places like Reddit don’t have that complexity. Reddit communities are singular, and there’s no overarching layer to complicate things. A community that disagrees with another, and blocks them doesn’t affect your experience as an user.

The decentralisation probably doesn’t help either. People coming to Lemmy from other places are coming from a centralised system. That takes some getting used to.

If you’re new to this, you can be forgiven by thinking that all the Lemmy instances are their own separate thing, like the forums of old, rather than that they’re all interconnected (excluding a whole bunch of stuff about defederation and all of that mess).

Part of it is that people also moved on from Lemmy too. Lemmy is nice, but there also isn’t very much by way of activity on it, which feeds back into itself. No activity means there’s nothing to draw people into it, and not enough to keep them around when they are there.

One of the communities and (non-world) instances I frequented is all but dead these days.

If they somehow succeed, that’s how you know you’ve found a keeper.

Basically. DEI (Diversity, Ethics Equity, and Inclusion, IIRC?) is the new “woke”/SJW bogey.

Having an woman (with exposed skin, no less!) is causing all entertainment to be ruined forever, etc etc, that kind of thing.

EDIT: Equity, not ethics, whoops! Thanks for the correction.

You also constantly shed skin, so any mould that tries to get a hold would have a difficult time staying on.

1. Naked wrestling…

That just sounds like a euphemism for sex, not an alternative.

Especially if they also misuse acronyms.

“Grandma died LOL 😂”

Other companies? Companies also need things, so they would also need things to buy and sell. Buying and selling to each other doesn’t seem entirely unreasonable, particularly if the goods are non-physical. A company selling editing services for articles to a company that writes those articles for a news company who might be selling stocks to an investment company, and ad space to an ad company, etc.

Realistically, though, that doesn’t tend to be that high a priority, or much of a long-term worry. Most of the concern these days seems to be focused more on the short-term profit more so than anything else, even if it will ultimately harm the company.

Not that it would really matter for most, since a lot of the people who might otherwise be affected would likely be out and away by the time that that rolls around. It would barely affect them.

Or have a single general footer that they all refer to.

Error message? McAfee can’t write to the drive because it’s full of photos of their grandchildren and dogs, so it clicks up “can’t write to c:\temp\sqlite_arcane_computer_magic.log: Disk is full”, and it goes from there?

Assuming that they went out to look for it, and didn’t just poke google with (“sqlite hacked my computer”) until they found a phone number.

If they had gotten the phone number for a company called Super Queasy Lite and Easy/SQLitE instead of the developers, the company might well have received the calls instead.

I don’t think that’s how you’re meant to use a WHERE.
