Even if the wider reaching implications of censorship, which have been explained to you multiple times, weren't a concern, I still wouldn't think people deserve to be thrown in prison for watching pornography featuring consenting adults. Scandalous, I know.

The problem with the modern Emulation & Piracy communities is that they haven't learned from the Yuzu case. You don't need to constantly shout out owning it to Nintendo/Sony. You don't need to air out every grievance either and directly link them. Sometimes it's best to shut up!

Gene Roddenberry had a rule that drove the writers of Star Trek The Next Generation absolutely crazy: there can't be any interpersonal conflict amongst the crew. The result was a cultural product I consider almost unique: a story about good people trying to do the right thing that isn't boring. These days, moral ambiguity, twisted anti-heros and an apocalyptic vision of the future practially comes standard in our stories. Dark and complicated is synonymous with "smart," but in fact it's probably ten times harder to write a compelling story about principled, competent and psychologically healthy people. Star Trek TNG dared to imagine a future for humanity where we outgrew our petty squabbles and became our highest selves, where we travel the stars fulfilling our curiosity and genuinely making the universe a better place. Patrick Stewart's Captain Jean-Luc Picard was the indispensable anchor to this vision. Instead of William Shatner's campy swagger as James T. Kirk, Stewart's Picard made "tea, Earl Grey, hot" iconic. His depth and gravitas as a thespian specializing in Shakespeare sold the moral dilemmas that were so often at the heart of the best TNG episodes. The dramatic tension in TNG comes from people sharing the same ethical framework as a group facing difficult problems. The buck stops with the Captain. He listens to and respects his crew, but ultimately it is up to him to "make it so." For TNG to work as a show, Stewart had to take those very internal struggles between a man and his conscience and make it dramatic. He made Captain Picard's very moral seriousness charismatic. He made you believe that...yeah...of course there is a moral arc to the universe and it bends towards justice. Of course it is worth paying the price to stay true to our principles. And of course, the struggle to discern what is right action is actually much more interesting than wallowing in how broken everything and everyone is. Bon Voyage, mon Capitaine

data youre so funny never change

I like to imagine a better future because I feel it allows me to understand what a better future would mean.

TNG unapologetically had one cave/away mission set and if it aired today that set would be a meme.

This is a completely ass move from Adobe. Even if a generative model was used to generate a removal mask, that mask is not part of the finished work. Which means works which involve no generative content get marked as having such due to its use in the tooling.

It's actually this simple btw

“There’s something about the mindset of really hardcore Star Trek fans that’s very difficult to describe to people who don’t share that fandom….There has never been another television show like Star Trek: The Next Generation, and there might never be one again. It is the greatest TV show ever made, not by dint of a difference in degree, but because of a difference in kind. It is a drama of pure optimism. Every other show tries to thrill us by showing us how bad or how ridiculous or how exciting someone else’s world could be; Star Trek: TNG thrills us by showing us how beautiful our own world could become.”

I hope they keep this in some form forever.

RT @archaicf0ssil: Now feels like a good time for this clip

For a long time I would come home from a really horrible job and watch Picard solve all his problems by reasoning them out and talking to people. I am struck by the realization that what the character of Picard says here turns out to be quite literally true
