Announcing Star Trek: Sisko... A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather's restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Aww, now I'm sad Tony Todd is dead.

Not sure it's really relevant to OP, but I'll vouch for Moonlight. I use it to stream from my beefy desktop to my laptop/Linux tablet that both have weak little integrated GPUs. It's not perfect, need a strong internet connection, but it's 100x better than Steam's integrated version and for remote desktop access too.

A handy tip is that you can fake second monitors without any extra hardware so you don't have to give up a connected screen either.

Well said. Especially agree on point one. I'm not a fan of the Discovery era characterization of Section 31, but ultimately there was no reason they had to be related to this movie at all. Georgiou had plenty of personal reasons to deal with this and to have a collection of ne'er-do-wells on hand without any involvement from Starfleet / S31.

Hear hear. This has Ankh Morpork written all over it.

Meh, Trek is always terrible at following up after the big movie action. Aging is reversible if Insurrection is canon. Literal resurrection has been possible since at least Khan. Time travel is routine in Voyage Home. None of it makes sense outside of the context of the movie, they're basically their own canon even before JJ.

I read "The Idea Factory" about Bell Labs, focused mostly on inventing the transistor, but it included their consolidation into this lab and just how state of the art it was. The book implied that it was the first corporate "campus" designed more like a university than a factory or office.

The book really made me understand that AT&T / Bell Labs was the hot tech firm of the early 20th century, long before getting to computing advances (C, UNIX) I was more familiar with.

I didn't mind the pie chart, the slices are labeled clearly, no need to use coloring like you have to read a legend.

Nah, my friends don't actually care, this is tongue in cheek for all the times I'm playing SDV and they're all masochistically playing From Soft games. That's why I said "imaginary" judgement.

Really surprised to see Diablo IV so high. I think it's a fine game (minus the laughable MTX), but considering you can't transfer a license from Battle.net to Steam, that represents a fraction of the total player base that has apparently gotten smaller since launch.

I'm also glad to see Wayland tools maturing. The hand wringing about lack of X forwarding was always FUD and a nonsense reason to cling to the fiction that X works well over a socket and justify all the shitty compromises X made to remain compatible with it.

I agree with this. Maybe this is a consequence of binge watching SG1/SGA over the course of 3-4 months, but their episodes ended up feeling very repetitive, formulaic, and too often leaned on Carter/Rodney being super geniuses to get them out of trouble. SGU was a much needed shake up and, even though it did get too soap opera drama sometimes, I appreciated that it kept that BSG back-to-the-wall energy up from episode to episode. It may not be as good as SG1/SGA, but it never dragged like those shows did mid-season.
