Television@piefed.social•'90s Star Trek Creators Blast Modern Trek's ToneEnglish
6·5 天前idioms don’t bother me in the slightest since they’re are almost by definition old fashioned. Even today most people don’t know the origin of most idioms, but they stick around through culture.
For example, there is a massive list attributed to Shakespeare 400 years ago, so it’s perfectly within reason that contemporary idioms would last ~350 years to the TNG era. I’d even argue it would be weird if they didn’t.

2·6 天前the vast majority of people put cases around their phones which eliminates the camera protrusion. If you do use a case with an Air, it’ll still be thinner than the other iphone options.

2·7 天前if this was my year to upgrade i might have gotten one. I use a magsafe wallet which evens out the back with the camera bulge.
99% of my days the battery would probably be sufficient, but if I’m going on a trip or whatever I can use a magsafe charger. You can’t do the opposite with a thick phone; you’re just carrying unnecessary bulk every single day.
the main issue for me is the price. I like the idea, but I’m not sure how much of a premium I want to pay for it, if any.

49·8 天前you are way overthinking it my friend. running a docker container for jellyfin is not a big deal and requires virtually no maintenance. lots of QOL improvements too like tracking watched status, playlists, metadata, clients that run on an actual television, etc, etc.










also they have nothing to do with microsoft at all. why bend over backwards to keep the “MS” part of the name?
