All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

TMNT never made enough sense to me.

Or you could start posting about the technology related things you expect to see here?

I would quite literally rather piss into the wind. At least then I'd be doing something outdoors.

I am firmly Star Wars, my wife is Star Trek. It's a mixed marriage. We both love Firefly and Doctor Who.

I have not yet shown her Battlestar Galactica.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it right there.

What about Babylon 5?!?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I love Babylon 5 and she loves what she has seen of Londo and G'Kar, but she hasn't seen a lot of it.

She says: "Oh? You mean DS9?"

Star Trek for me, I think (though oddly, I've played in a Star Wars tabletop RPG but never a Star Trek RPG). My wife and I started watching Deep Space 9 from the beginning about a month ago. I had seen some of it a while back (not everything, busy with school at the time). She had never seen it. We just finished season 1.

I don't think it qualifies as "old school", but I do like the Vorkosigan books.

Lately I've been on kind of a Scalzi kick. I'm partway through the Interdependency series.

I used to love Star Wars, but the movies kept not being that good.

They focus too heavily on one family and have not really built a world for people to live in.

I think the new TV shows are starting to do this, but I haven’t watched them too much.

I would really love Star Wars much more if the world building was a bit better.

I love both Star Trek and Star Wars, but Star Wars has a lot of really toxic fans. These days I tend to be a quiet Star Wars fan.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

I watched a lot more Star Trek as a kid but it's always the Star Wars universe that I feel drawn to. I can't really quantify it, I think it's just an aesthetic thing. I suppose Star Wars feels more 'wild west'.

Old school sci-fi: am re-reading the Asimov robot stories again. Always something new to reflect on.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Star Wars does feel more wild west. One thing I've wanted ever since TOS ended was a series about low-end people in the Star Trek universe - the crew of a little spaceship, on a par with Harry Mudd or Cyrano Jones (the tribble dude) making their way around the galaxy, having only occasional involvement with Starfleet. Basically what Firefly gave us, which is one reason I LOVED that show. What a shame it only lasted one season.

I completely agree with all the people regarding more "Technology" news, like MIT stacking more transistors onto chips breakthrough.

When I was looking for a tech community to subscribe to, I wasn't expecting this... 🙈

!hardware@lemmy.world (self-promotion, I am a mod there) covers semiconductor related topics pretty well.

That being said, some articles do include business and tech news.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net -2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, it's all news concerning technology, or tech companies. Did you expect there to just be constant posts about new tech or improvements to existing tech? Because that shit doesn't happen every day.

[–] nore@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

Do we need a new post everyday?
