/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

That message irritated me so much. "We endeavor to deliver the lowest amount of ads to our customers, fewer than our competitors!" Like you were doing with no ads?

They want to take us back to the way cable TV was

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Worse: They want to take us all the way to where cable TV is

Yeah that’s sort of where late stage capitalism tries to go, the innovation of the Internet really disrupted their plans but they’re pushing hard to return to that “golden era” I almost forgot that cable still exists in some form, it must be a hellscape

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Right? 0. Zero is the lowest amount of ads. You were already doing that. What they actually mean is "we endeavor to deliver the maximum number of ads that won't drive you off our platform to our competitors".

I'm waiting until the moment I see an ad, then cancelling on the spot.

Shame, I do think Prime has the best non Trek sci fi collection of all the streamers and I enjoy the convenience but I cannot abide ads and refuse to do anything that would help make the ad transition successful.

Yep, I'm in the process of building a media PC around an old SuperMicro server motherboard

Hundred percent. Starting to look for a good external HD. Probably need to look into seedboxes etc and get into legit sailing the high seas etc. It's a hassle but screw those profit hungry bastards.

Worth spending the time and effort IMO. All of Trek is on my hard drive and will stay there forever, no ads. This new move just means I’ll cancel prime and impulse buy less bullshit, saves me money both ways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Legit! Do you back up the hard drive or how do you guard against failure? (One of my large ones failed one day and I lost a huge swathe of my collection.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That’s something I’ve been considering myself actually. SSDs are coming down in price so I’d like to build a redundant server, I’m also still a student when it comes to this stuff

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just cancelled mine. Fuck em. I'll get prime again if there is some deal, or game I want from Amazon prime games or something.

About twice a year I get a free month. Just need to periodically peak at the cart to see if they're offering it yet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

We’re gonna cancel ours when it comes up for renewal in March. Declining value/use to us, needing to tighten our belt financially, and now the ads, we’re done. Just more evidence to me that C-suite level execs are incompetent sociopaths.

I'll tell you the same thing I said last time

Torrentio Real-Debrid Stremio.
