Ah. The Russian trolls/bots have discovered lemmy. It was nice while it lasted.
Displaced would be a better word.
As a bald man, I support this.
What do you suppose could “heat” the lenses?
Seems Reddit has joined us. Only a matter of time.
The commenter is talking about adding heaters, not anti-aircraft weaponry. There’s plenty of examples of things developed by the military that are used in civilian products.

Part of the reason why TNG was good beyond the first couple seasons was because of the open script submission policy that's no longer in existence. According to ex-Trek producer Ronald D. Moore, they were reading something like 3000 scripts a year. It allowed them to be choosy (though there were still some stinkers). Now that the characters are established, if the seasons were longer, it might be cool to see the open script submissions come back (though, as I'm typing this, maybe implementing this during or shortly after a writers strike would be a poor choice, even though there were limits to how many scripts one could submit before going through "official" channels). Anyway, one could argue that a huge amount of ideas need to be generated for a show as great as TNG to exist, more than a small group of writers could produce. If outside script admissions were allowed, I'm sure we'd see some great sci-fi episodes from writers who weren't even thinking "Star Trek" as they wrote them.
I'm not against filler, and my post may have come off as being that way. Not every story has to advance character or advance some storyline. I'm just against bad filler.
This is what I noticed as well. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but they seem to have the appearance of being as unbiased as NPR, AP, or BBC.
How are they evil? After doing a google search to see how they perform as a news organization, I’m genuinely curious about your viewpoint.
I didn’t read this as fanboy-ism. It’s simply the state of things. If another company wants to step up and produce a series of tech that’s as unfragmented as Apple, one that provides rudimentary protection and privacy, one that shuns ads and doesn’t depend on tracking for its revenue, I’m ready for it.
