Given that you have already received some replies which I largely agree with I'm going to focus on some of the specific points of critique you raised.

The mystery and intrigue gets overshadowed by sexism,

I mean I can't really say that this isn't portrayed in the show, especially in the first few episodes, but I can't recall any instance of it being portrayed as a good thing. Quite the contrary actually.

jingoism,

The show is indeed rather militaristic, but given that the antagonists are a species of parasitic aliens with a god-complex

(a plot point which gains more nuance in later seasons as well by the way)

I always saw this as a thinly veiled metaphor for armed resistance against the divine right of kings. So I wouldn't go quite so far as to call it jingoistic, although overtly militaristic is certainly a fair assessment.

characters that can be summed up on a postage stamp

As you already surmised this gets fleshed out a bit more later on, but stays more or less the same. Most characters, certainly the main cast in any case, stay rather archetypical with some character development happening though.

and plots and scenes that are contrived and clumsy.

This happens throughout the entire series unfortunately, but it varies a lot from episode to episode rather than from season to season. There are some rather interesting interpretations of common and uncommon sci-fi tropes throughout as well.

do they ever solve how the female token character is being treated?

Since you didn't exactly point out your problem with her portrayal I can only guess what you mean, but yes, I do think so. There are also other women joining the supporting cast (and even main cast in the last few seasons), leading to less frequent failure of the Bechdel test.

Does it ever stop feeling cheap and schlocky?

Not quite, but the first two seasons are certainly the worst in this regard, mixed in with most of the retconning happening to their content.

All that said, there is a reason the original show has 10 seasons at 22 episodes each, three movies, and four spin-offs, and if you can stomach early Star Trek TNG (or even TOS), you will probably enjoy at least the SG-1 series overall.

IMHO the first season is the weakest, second season is not great not terrible, 3-8 is the peak, 9, 10, and the two TV movies trail off a bit although still better than the first two seasons.

If you want to skip some seasons you should be aware that most of them have a "clip-show" episode towards the end that recaps the season and embeds them into the larger narrative happening in the background. I'd say the bad episodes are worth stomaching for the context though.

Atlantis spin-off is worth the watch if you liked SG-1 overall. Chronology is a bit weird though, SG-1 season 9 and 10 and Atlantis season 1 and 2 overlap.

Universe spin-off you can skip unless you got really invested.

spoiler

Universe ends without wrapping up its underlying narrative in any way since the show got canceled.

Haven't watched the animated spin-off, Origins was meh.

In conclusion, it's probably worth giving it a shot if you can manage to not take it too seriously.

Well if I learned one thing about biology it is that it eludes simplistic notions as the one presented in the meme, so I get where you are coming from here. However I very much doubt the sudden disappearance of viruses would end complex life or evolution, since there are other avenues of intra-species mutation and inter-species gene transfer. It would doubtlessly upset the balance of pretty much every existing ecosystem of course.

That said, don't overthink it, it's just a meme about the (slightly modified) Agent Smith reference so neatly lying around in the parent comment.

D'accord. Ich trage ja schon länger die Hypothese mit mir rum das mehr als nur ein bisschen des zu beobachtenden zivilisatorischen Niederganges der letzten Dekaden ursächlich auf den Klimawandel zurückzuführen ist, inklusive des globalen Rechtsrucks in der Politik.

Die Kausalkette scheint da ziemlich offensichtlich. Mehr und mehr Ökosysteme kollabieren → Druck auf die restlichen Ökosysteme steigt → Noch mehr Ökosysteme kollabieren noch schneller → Druck auf politische, wirtschaftliche, und soziale Systeme steigt mit.

Und, typisch Mensch, greift man dann in Reaktion darauf (lies: politisch reaktionär) nach altbewährten "Lösungen", weil früher war ja alles besser also lass uns alles so machen wie damals™, dann wird das schon wieder. Wird natürlich nicht funktionieren, denn hat es sowieso noch nie plus die Problemlage ist jetzt grundlegend anders.

Das führt natürlich zu der Frage was denn eine Lösung wäre, und die erschütternde Antwort ist wahrscheinlich das es keine rechtzeitig umsetzbare Lösung gibt. Ein evolutionärer Ansatz ist zu langsam und ein revolutionärer Ansatz zu zerstörerisch um effektiv zu helfen. Der einzige Weg den ich sehe der vielleicht helfen könnte wäre der UN oder einer vergleichbaren Organisation globale Exekutiv- und Legislativgewalt in Klimafragen zu übertragen, damit sich der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel halt nicht nur in Lippenbekenntnissen erschöpft die aus dem Fenster fliegen sobald man den wirtschaftlichen Wettbewerbsnachteil darin erkennt. Aber dafür ist das internationale Misstrauen zwischen den Nationalstaaten wahrscheinlich (schon/wieder/noch immer) zu groß, und die bereits beginnenden Ressourcenkriege und Massenmigrationen werden in der Hinsicht auch nicht helfen.

Tja in der Tat.

I'm involved in the development of an addon for the Classic WoW versions (Questie), and the thing I do there is such a convoluted process that not doing it feels like letting my fellow devs and the users down. But you can do development on the PTRs and beta servers, so I haven't given money to Blizzard in a long time. Now you could argue that this is even worse in regards to supporting Blizzard than just paying for a game, but I rationalise it to myself with the fact that the newer clients will inevitably be used for private servers just like the old ones were (some already are actually).

Neither. Battle.net is Blizzards game launcher and store. They also own that domain, but the name usually refers to the binary.

The WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1 %command% is the Steam launch option you set, with %command% meaning roughly "what Steam would do without any launch options set".

The whole process was a bit finicky and I did it a few month ago, but from what I remember it went something like this:

• Download battle.net installer
• Add it as non-Steam game to run it
• Locate the newly created prefix in Steam directory
• Add the Battle.net.exe in it as a non-Steam game, then remove the installer (not the other way around or the prefix will be deleted)

Oh so that's what you meant. Thought you meant don't use Lutris at first because of how you worded it. That makes much more sense.

AFAIK you can set Lutris up to use GE or Proton builds.

Did that too a while back, but anecdotally it feels lees buggy through Steam, especially regarding updates.

Also clicking the Stop button in Steam doesn't leave behind zombie processes off Battle.net.exe and Agent.exe, which I had to manually kill when using Lutris. Assume that's due to Protons(?) pressure-vessel thingy.

WYSIWYG means there is just one window and it correctly displays however the end result will be. Like using Word.

The only thing WYSIWYG means is "what you see is what you get". If you have a live preview you see what you get. *shrug*

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I have seen an editor that does it in a single pane, but couldn't recall the name of it right now for the life of me. Also not sure if it used Electron...

Split window + live preview is presumably much easier to program

Yes, obviously. It's actually so simple that I once built this myself in a few hours, with a bit of Qt and a call to pandoc. You can skip building, saving, and updating an abstract syntax tree, as well as expanding the nodes the cursor is in to the markdown source, which is a whole lot of complexity.

I’m not sure if it’s impossible to create a proper WYSIWYG editor without electron or just nobody has bothered.

Of course it's possible. But by now there are like hundreds of markdown editors around, so the problem will be finding the one that meets your specifications between the avalanche of those which don't.

Wundert mich leider nicht sonderlich. Kannte mal jemanden der gerne dritte Halbzeit gespielt hat (Fussballhooligan) und der erzählte es gäbe eine direkte Pipeline von da in die Polizeihundertschaften. Hobby zum Beruf machen sozusagen. Warum Leute für lau verprügeln wenn du jede Woche jemanden siehst der dafür Tariflohn bekommt?
