Please understand: I mean this in a very, very loving way. Lemmy has so much content and so many references that I do not understand but it’s awesome seeing all these passionate communities outside of my usual circles.
All the star trek memes convinced me to start a star trek watch through. Didn’t realize there were so many dang episodes, its gonna take a while.
Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!
I most certainly am going to, I’ve watched alot of random episodes from multiple different series, but my partner has only watched a few with captain janeway. We just finished part 1 of the menagerie, honestly wish we had skipped the original pilot so the episode would hit harder for her, but it is what it is.
What a great episode though. I just finished a rewatch of TOS a few weeks ago, and I love it so much.
If you ever get to Strange New Worlds and Discovery, they flesh out The Menagerie in all kinds of interesting ways. My only complaint is that they didn’t make Vina look deformed enough when she appeared.
Same here actually. Halfway through the first season of TNG. Happy to have something to binge. Also going to switch to Linux in the neat future.
Neat!
I did the math a while back it’s well over a thousand hours for all the series and movies. With the recent surge in new properties, it’s going to be much higher than what I came up with even a few years ago.
With startrek.website we’d hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it’s own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.
Instead it turned out “Star Trek and Linux” was enough to satisfy nearly everyone’s tastes (both subtle and gross).
I use Arch, btw.
Arch…? You mean Jonathan Archer. I understood this Star Trek reference.
Errrrrr… Exactly!
I mean… I could use Jonathan Archer.
Who couldn’t use a Jonathan Archer once in a while?
…what were we talking about?
Oh boy…
this?
?Perfect!
Computer, end program.
…
“Authorization denied”
Sudo computer end program
This meme got the LW logo to represent Lemmy. We can understand why there is no more :-(
But in reality, there is dbzer0, blahaj, slrpnk, and more too
All of those sound like sketchy porn sites…
Dude, theses are the reals. No LW.
Shit like this is why I started using imgur alongside Lemmy. They’re no better than reddit was, but I need my memes.

Yeah I tried a WSB themed instance. Lemmy really isn’t set up to support this. Its a pretty critical issue with how its engineered and can’t really be fixed in the current structure.
There’s also ttrpg.network
The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.
Eternal September, when the vermin move in.
Look at this at tell me it’s insufficiently nerdy.
Okay, I’ll tell you it’s insufficiently nerdy. How about a game that’s been played since 1983 and has just gotten to the second turn?
The only game that came with its own protractor. I’m not joking.
It kinda sucks if you don’t use Linux and don’t watch Star Trek though :/
Well, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
I once told Lemmy users that I liked MacOS. I still haven’t recovered from the beating.
Lmao. I don’t really care what OS people use. I’m not really passionate about any OS. I just use it as a medium to do things I enjoy so I’m really not interested in any OS talk about any operating system. I use all 3 OS daily pretty much (Linux, Mac and Windows).
It’s a personal choice and it doesn’t really matter much.
MacOS, you mean Unix with a wallpaper? While Unix is not Linux, BSD is open source so it’s nice!
I won’t beat you this time but I did laugh at your comment.
Start watched TNG, I used to get an episode or 2 between work and gym and it was bliss. Wish I could watch it again for the first time.
The rest hasn’t been as good, some highlights but nothing grabs me nearly as much.
Start with season 3.
I enjoyed the ramp up, it was DS9 I couldn’t get into at all. Gave up a few episodes in. Haven’t tried Voyager sequentially yet but I liked some episodes. Discovery sucked except for Isaacs. I liked SNW.
Oh, sorry to hear that. DS9 gets pretty good later on - especially the “middle” is great, testing out the limits of the world/starfleet ethics. I think it’s my favorite trek… (second being TNG, watched that growing up). Maybe give DS9 another chance and just jump in somewhere after Season 1…
Picard?
Muck, but I watched the clips where he met Q and Ryker.
I watch star trek but don’t use Linux as a primary operating system due to it not meeting specific requirements of mine
just out of curiosity may I ask what those are
You sound ready to spring your “but you can do that in Linux” trap
We all area ready. Lemmy is a minefield for that.
What are you in to little buddy?
Memes and league of legends. And gaming in general.
I have no regrets joining
I use Arch btw - live long and prosper lemmings
Fedora for the fediverse.
Lemmy. The final frontier.
These are the forums of the Lemmy communities.
Its continuing mission to explore strange new posts. To seek out new memes and new discussions.
To boldly go where no social media has gone before.
Cue Theramin
that and communists, a lot of communists.
And not always the chill “I live on a commune and make shirts out of hemp” communists. We’re talking about the “let’s have an armed revolution” communists.
and “if you don’t boycot everything remotely connected to right-wingers you’re a nazi” has happened to me more than once.
in the german communities you’re also very likely to be heavily insulted if you express your enhusiasm for cars, letalone trying to explain why we can’t switch everyone over to either public transportation or EVs.
We just need Monty Python and hitchhikers guide and we’re golden
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
I’m from a planet around the star Betelgeuse. Drink up, you’re going to need it for what I’m about to tell you.
SUPERNOVAE
- Earthlings: Uhh, nice light for months!
All 3 are leftist, based on rejecting individual ownership, and related to FOSS (tangentially in Star Trek’s case), and all 3 are nerdy as hell. They have a lot in common under the hood.
based on rejecting individual ownership
They were here first, we are just the June Exiles.
And nobody mentioned beans?
You can’t have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!
Yeah and also that time mizu wanted to skip pooping for 3 days
That’s normal for me right now. Hooray mystery illness.
Until you get your illness sorted out (and hopefully that’s soon!), prune juice could help - after all, it is a warrior’s drink!
Thank you. I tried it. I can’t stand the stuff. I’ve been drinking V8 though, so hopefully that will help.
Hey now, that’s unfair. It’s Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!
sudo make it so
This is truest thing I’ve seen on Lemmy.
Love the star trek memes. And like all things linux, i understand like 20% and the rest goes over my head
Hey uhhhh you know Battletech and Warhammer are both pretty cool. They’re kinda like Star Trek (except the opposite).
Anyways.
