No mod capability, or at least not that I'm aware of. But it does run on Android! https://f-droid.org/packages/me.thanel.dank/

SNW is pure, good Star Trek. Don't miss it.

I'd also rate Lower Decks and Prodigy pretty well - both have rough starts but hit a good stride in their first seasons.

I still haven't signed up for ProtonMail. Doesn't sound like a good idea with this going on!

There's also the risk of users saving and distributing confidential data. You don't need admin rights for that! I'm not actually sure this applies to OP, but if he's giving everyone a web browser, it certainly seems like a risk.

Overthinking Number One's fate in SNW S1E10 (in light of S2E2) (beehaw.org)
 

Spoilers for both episodes:

In the alternate future depicted in "A Quality of Mercy", Una has been in prison for the past seven years. In the main timeline, we now know that Una wins her trial and doesn't serve any prison time. How do we account for the fact that the same events led to two different outcomes?

This bugged me for hours yesterday. But after some thought and time, I think a solution exists!

We know, in the Prime timeline, that Pike literally risked his life to visit Neera (the Illyrian attorney). Her skills, and devotion to Illyrian rights, ultimately win the case. Therefore, in the alternate future, we must conclude that Pike did not take this same action.

The only difference between the two version of Pike, with regard to Una's trial anyway, is that the prime Pike had already seen the alternate future. He knew that if something drastic didn't happen, Una would lose and be imprisoned. This is why he sought an outspoken attorney from outside Starfleet.

It's interesting, then, to consider the fact that Una's victory was indirectly caused by Pike seeing the future - which was in turn caused by his first glimpse of the canon future back in Discovery. And if Una was fated to lose the trial without the interference of future knowledge, will this change have ramifications too? Is SNW now branched off of the original canon into its own timeline?

(Personally, I hope so! My wish is that SNW diverges from the Prime timeline, and finds a way for Pike to escape his fate without causing disaster. And that Spock & Chapel end up together.)

Anyone play any Star Trek Tabletop games? (Specifically STA, the SFU games from ADB, or Attack Wing/Alliance)? I wanted to get a tabletop gaming magazine together for that, but I don't know if it has in c/[email protected]

Thank you!

Can you recommend a starting adventure for ST Adventures, o great @[email protected] (or anyone else)? I want to try it on my group and would prefer something pre-made at first.

One of my favorite games of all time, despite being relatively recent. The exploration and movement are just so much fun!

Why We're Rebuilding The Thunderbird Interface From Scratch in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thunderbird has a home on every computer that I use, mainly because it still supports plain-text mail - without resistance (unlike Outlook and web clients) - and because it natively supports GPG encryption and signing.

Let's hope the UI redesign doesn't interfere with these advantages, and helps draw in new users!

Excellent thread about the OGL by Cory Doctorow (mamot.fr)
 

He is not a lawyer (and neither am I) but Doctorow knows a great deal about licenses and rights, and I definitely learned some interesting things from this.
