why hide behind numbers at all?

Oh, okay let’s keep spending millions per episode so a few thousand people can enjoy the show. That’s absolutely how show business works.

Numbers are critical and a key indicator of mainstream success.

As I’ve stated multiple times already low viewer count combined with high review bombs indicates a disconnect between what’s being produced and what the audience wants.

Hopefully someday I can write a “bad” book that makes best seller lists and makes me hundreds of millions of dollars.

Really what’s the point of your comment?

Anyone with a brain can separate work from the artist but that doesn’t mean the art isn’t transphobic because you like it

Harry Potter isn’t transphobic. Atleast the original books, I haven’t looked at any of the new stuff; but simply not including a trans adjenda into your work isn’t trans phobia. Is The Little Mermaide trans phobic because there isn’t a trans representation? No…

You seem to be arguing that the show is bad because it’s unpopular.

The premis of the thread seems to be that the show is getting review bombed because of MAGA. I pointed out that filtering out the United States still gives abysmally low scores.

If you look at viewer count (low) and review bombs (high), it seems to indicate that the producers are wildly out of touch with what the majority of the Star Trek audience is about.

Luckily for us, it’s entirely possible for anyone with a brain to separate an artist from their work.

Kanye has some fire songs, I enjoy them; while at the same time I think he’s a mentally ill tool.

The world needs this.

watching the Enterprise D zooming past a few random planets

Oh, it showed the star, and the trek

metaphor of new growth to represent the reopening of the academy and the importance of building a new generation.

Oh so Star Trek, but without the star, or the trek.

Yeah and if it had absolutely nothing to do with the black lives matter sign, and the person inserted the black lives matter sign as a defense, then what is it?

But also an aggregated numeric value is not a criticism at all

How’s that? If 10 of your coworkers rated your job performance as 5/10; would you think that’s not a critical indicator of a failing performance?

How about viewer count, shall we go look that up?

You think MAGA is inteligent enough.to review bomb foreigner reviewers?

Even if we filter out the United States, Academy is sitting at a sub 5/10 rating world wide.

If you call the MAGA crtisicms what you want, but after the fact there are plenty of legit ones remaining.

No reason to not have both. I don’t like subs, and if we can have a day 1 dub with AI, even if it’s lower quality, I’d go for it.

This still generally involves voice actors training the models.

Oh, you called me a name. Im so changing my mind now…

The obvious flaw is that humans are dynamic and evolving and you may not always be in the majority. Therefore you should be fair to everyone.

John Rawls’s “veil of ignorance” comes to mind.

The idea of the thought experiment is the creation of a society with the designer behind a veil of ignorance, that is, after the society is created they do not know the circumstances that they will have when joining the society.

Don’t be a party pooper. Nazis are people who don’t respect pronouns and civil wars are when people yell really loud.

Idk if there are newer laws, I think there is, but a 1998 law makes it illegal to break a digital lock, very broadly defined, to protect cd’s but applied to all electronics.

Sounds like one of those laws that’s never applied by itself, but instead is always sprinkled in on top of another more well defined and detectable crime. In the case or CDs it would have been against piracy groups who not only cracked CDs, but also distributed.

Without the distribution, that law would have never seen enforcement.

We could also argue that cracking software protections isn’t reprogramming, it’s a precursor to do so and isnt always necessary to reprogram a device. Someone could absolutely pop the computer out of a Samsung smart refrigerator and replace it with a Arduino and reprogram the device, which for personal use is legally bulletproof.

Tell that to every farmer in the US

Every farmer in the U.S. has the right to repair and reprogram their vehicles. They do not however have the right to force John Deer to provide access to their proprietary software.

Not being able to reprogram something, and it being a literal crime, are absolutely different things.

Read some Right to Repair U.S. law. There’s absolutely nothing illegal about reprogramming any device for personal use.
