    It looks like anything from Series 7 down will work with your wife’s SE with iOS 15.

    The small print from the Apple Watch Series 7:

    Apple Watch Series 7 requires an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 15 or later.

    iPhone SE was released after the iPhone 6s and can take iOS 15 so you should be good


  • I totally understand your desire for a community that allows you to discuss classic trek without worrying that your enjoyment of new series will be lessened if you read spoilers. Reddit has a big enough user base to have separate subreddits for each series. Lemmy’s not there yet.

    think there is a way to make any forum spoiler-avoidable, especially where very current episodes are at play. Sensible titles (e.g., including the episode discussed) would go a long way toward helping with this.

    Lemmy also ostensibly supports spoiler tags

    spoilers within

    But not every client supports them. Hopefully as clients improve, support will be universal.

    Getting people to use those where appropriate might also help.

    I look forward to seeing how this and other trek communities develop, and I hope that your experience improves.


  • I’m with you on your analysis. It wasn’t mindblowingly good, but it was certainly good enough to not feel like a band past its prime trying to cash in on one last payday. I do think that Billy West (Fry)‘s voice has aged some as well, but I got used to it after a minute or two and it was fine.

    I think when you’re coming back from cancelation…AGAIN, and especially after so long, it’s not like a pilot, but it requires more exposition than a regular season opener. So it was good enough on its own merit, and I’m grading it on a curve as it’s the first episode in a decade and has to do a bit more storytelling drudgery than your average show.







  • Leather is an interesting case, though, because regardless of whether or not people buy it, the cows will still be killed for meat (unless there’s a drastic change in food consumption habits).

    You could make the argument that, at least in the current landscape, the purchase of leather doesn’t increase animal suffering or suffering due to the many deleterious effects of large scale beef production (deforestation for feed, the carbon output, etc.).

    The only way to reduce the suffering created by a cow economy is to hit the main product driving it: beef. There are three times more beef cows than dairy cows in the U.S., so dairy consumption has an effect but it’s dwarfed by beef consumption.

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
