I'm watching the first season of TNG now with someone who's never seen it before. That's forced me to look at the series with fresh eyes. One thing that strikes me is that TNG took a lot of risks in the beginning to make a new kind of Star Trek. I see the Crushers as one. Some risks didn't work out as well as others, but Star Trek overall benefited. IMO, it would be edifying revisit Dr. Crusher and see more character growth like in Picard.

Edit: grammar

This news hit me hard this morning. Bram's work has directly benefited my career for decades. He was a good human being who did good things. RIP Bram

Shouldn't an ethical human choose tools that do more good than harm? As long as an application does that, does it matter if it's open source or not? The software we use in our daily lives is a personal choice and people shouldn't be shamed for choosing a closed source application. Especially one created by an independent, craftsman software company. Sync, and other well-designed for-profit clients, benefit Lemmy, an open platform. That benefits all.

Let me add, many of us are social media refugees, fleeing exploitative and closed platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook. There is also nothing wrong with continually evaluating the closed source solutions we choose to prevent repeating past mistakes.

I'll admit I only know his work on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. In those roles he proved a versatile actor. Bravo and RIP Mark

Yes, it's a human thing. Not something others will understand

Just a follow-up for my neighbors in the southeast: don't fall for the sweet tea propaganda. Regardless of culture or tradition, it's a bad habit.
