/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Finished setup Jellyfin on a home server. roku, apple tv, and devices with swiftfin. was using plex, but they are going for the streaming profit model hard and probably worse than that soon. managed to find the TOS and TNG 4K remastered movies on usenet. hard drives are cheap and my ethernet is fast enough for 4k. whoo hooo....I mean, Arrrrrr!
QI'yaH, QI'yaH!
Paramount+ is such hot trash. I tried a free trial after Amazon Prime went apeshit with ads one day as I was finishing up DS9. The app kept crashing my FireTV, wouldn't play, would randomly change languages and the only solution was to "keep going back seasons and episodes until you find one in your preferred language and then just fast forward until the episode you want." I had to go back 3.5 seasons - I don't got time for that shit.
They asked me to complete a survey when I canceled the trial after 35 minutes. I was... not polite. I may have suggested that any programmers guilty of releasing code so incredibly damaged into a production environment should commit seppuku.
Their app is really the worst I've seen. Not only is as buggy as you say, some months ago they added a circle in every episode for the age rating, and when you pause the circles in inscribed in a black square. They cannot even implement transparency on their menu lol. This is not a lack of resources or funding, it's just plain incompetence. I only have it because paramount+ is freely included in another subscription and it's the only place I could fins nutrek, otherwise I wouldn't give it a cent.

To be honest, my anecdotal experience is that any feedback with this sort of nonsense is removed from the data set. It's pretty easy to spot and right or wrong, it would be considered noise or an outlier at best.
I'm certain it didn't get read, just as I'm certain any negative feedback gets similarly binned. It was far more catharsis for me than any misguided belief that anyone would see or even (lol) act to make their product better.

Unhelpful or unconstructive feedback? That is almost always filtered out before it ever sees the eyes of anybody important or anybody that could do anything about it.
Negative feedback, but which is actionable or actually insightful? More often that not (again in my anecdotal experience), that's actually given some weight.
I pretty much have to. Paramount+ never actually works whenever I have had a free trial. If they expect me to pay for something that doesn't even work, they're outta their fuckin' mind.
I do want you to do that.
Remember everyone, media piracy is in the spirit of a tv show about a post-scarcity socialist utopian future.
I feel like Quark giddily grabbing his security rods to break into Sisko's personal logs.
What did they do this time?
- Removed the Star Trek movies and Prodigy
- Went from 30 second to 60 second unstoppable ads on a paid platform
- Have different UI controls between different programs on the same platform
- For some reason their app continually turns off captions on DS9 between episodes and puts the language selection in a different order randomly
Those are just the ones off the top of my head
When did the ads thing happen? I have not experienced this.
It happened to me two nights ago. Normally you get that 30 second ad and you can click back then on the show again to skip. This time it was 60, then when I clicked back and on the episode again, it went to a 30 second ad, then I clicked back again and it started the show.
I had no idea there were ads on that platform. Is there a free version or something?
They are their own ads, or I guess previews. It's just annoying that there is no skip button.
Ah ok I gotcha. They're all skipable for me and only play at the beginning of a show maybe 9 out of 10 times.
Exist.
