It definitely feels like Star Trek, hilarious Star Trek. But like some other commenters said, it will help a lot if you finish the various live action series first. Lower Decks is chock full of fan service, so you don’t need to have watched everything, but many lines of dialogue will make more sense if you do.

The Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover is peak hilarity. The fan service continues even in live action. Lower Decks was brilliant to cast voice actors who also do live action, because that crossover is a genuinely excellent episode of Star Trek.

I’m jealous that you get to see all this for the first time! Enjoy!

No, you’re right, the more investigations the better. It’s just any “Vatican Investigation” should be treated with extreme skepticism.

I don’t think we need another investigation to prove that what we can all see with our own eyes is actually happening.

Also, Frank, I think there are some other investigations you might want to focus on before feigning your moral high ground. Get your own fucking house in order if you ever want to be taken seriously again, you diddler-protecting fuckwad.

Same, Syncthing is amazing. I use it with Mobius Sync on iOS and have it synching my keepass, Obsidian vault, photos, and a folder for random file transfers between devices. It’s so much better, faster, and more stable than all the most popular corporate cloud providers.

Having a device that can be used for surveillance is not the same thing as someone actively choosing to report their neighbor.

Been having similar thoughts. We’ll very soon be back in the age of internment camps, reporting on neighbors’ behavior, and minorities looking over their shoulders even more than usual. I am ashamed of us.
