I owe a debt of gratitude to Gene and the entire crew. I was doubting my religion, and felt like I was losing my moral compass in the process. I was asking myself what type of person I wanted to be. The values that TNG showed me helped me in the 10 years since — being open to other cultures and their beliefs (Half a Life), to hold truth above others, and nothing can break that (Chain of Command), and to live my life more open, honestly, and fully (Inner Light)

I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will–and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain. -Gene Roddenberry

That’s the idea. Helps you not become a dopamine addicted mess.

Holy shit that takes me back

I could barely remember too, then I took an arrow to the knee!

I regularly bisect commits in the range of 200k (on the low end) for finding causes of bugs. It takes me minutes. Pretty crazy

Holy shit never expected to see this comment on lemmy. I worked on magma in the early days of it

Strange New Worlds is pretty good. I’ll probably cancel when I’m done watching it though.

Wow I’ve been in tech a long time, but only knew it from Macromedia. Crazy
