            I literally started due to lemmy posts. I just went in order and watched TOS and TNG. Now I’m going through DS9. I’m really glad I did, because it’s amazing!

            deep breath So I’m not the most star trek nerd by any measure, but I grew up watching the next generation (TNG), but also some of the original star trek series. And then deep space 9 (DS9) and enterprise. Also the one with the one which is not the enterprise and they got lost (forgot the name). But I’ve lost interest with the recent series. So not a uber nerd but I’ve watched quite a bit.

            I think starting with the MOVIES of the first series is good. But also starting with the series of TNG is ok.

          It’s also voluntarism: the OS, as it is entirely maintained by willing members of the community.

          Honestly, probably moreso in most cases, as while socialism is fine with getting funding from taxation voluntarism sees that as coercive by nature, advocating for voluntary donations (time/money/labor) to help out the community instead. Some stuff was developed with tax funding for sure, and some directly by the NSA like SELinux iirc, but I think it’s still mainly private citizens/corpo donations and volunteers/people that get paid using those donations.
