I will not go!

We didn't ask for stretchy pants. Give me back my cotton jeans.
And while you're at it, put back the other two belt loops.
I switched once in college just because I could. But then I switched back when Windows 7 was released.
Then I switched again at work because our product ran on Ubuntu server, and I hate PuTTY with a passion, and it was just easier to manage Linux from Linux. But I switched back again when we were acquired by a larger company that required us to use more productivity tools that didn't run well on Linux at the time and had to to "just work" (Skype for Business, Zoom, etc).
These days I spend most of the workday in WSL via Windows Terminal. At home I run a handful of Linux VMs atop an ESXi hypervisor installed on an old desktop. But when I'm not working, I generally just stay as far away from computers as possible.

I wonder what changed.
There is a link at the top of this page that will give you the answer.
On Enterprise they just call them lights.
Spock has to have a moment of crisis that brings him to the state of character he's in in TOS.
This. It's literally what we saw happen in DIS to get him from what we see in The Cage to what we see in SNW. There is no reason it can't happen again.
He is certainly spending a lot less time expressing emotions than he did in season 2 of Discovery.
There seem to be two major camps of thought about his portrayal in SNW:
-
He is way too different in SNW than he is in TOS, thus breaking canon. These must be people who really enjoyed the nobody-ever-experiences-personal-growth-except-for-Seven-of-Nine aspect of VOY.
-
Personal growth is okay, but his current trajectory is veering off too far from where he needs to land in TOS. This is the nobody-ever-makes-the-same-mistakes-twice camp.
Here's what we know for sure, chronologically:
- Spock smiles at plants in The Cage and seems stable.
- Spock is a mental and emotional wreck in DIS season 2, but he pulls it together in the end.
- Spock is back in control in early SNW season 1, but he has overcorrected after the events of DIS to a place where he is much more stoic than he was in The Cage.
- Spock opens back up the emotional can of worms in SNW season 1 to fight an adversary, and he is having a difficult time closing it back up. But he seems to be trying to make the best of it.
- Spock is about to lose all his Vulcan DNA in this week's upcoming episode. Hijinks will ensue with T'Pring's family.
That last one may lead to more overcorrection in the future. Or maybe it won't. Who knows?
Maybe he'll undergo Kolinahr at some point before TOS. Maybe it doesn't work twice, and that's why he fails in TMP.
But you can't tell me you've never met anyone in real life whose emotional state of being sways back and forth like a pendulum swing over time.
grin at a plant
To be fair, The Cage is set before SNW and even before DIS. And if you recall season 2 of DIS, he sort of lost his mind at some point in-between.
It's even worse than that. It's all communities that users on your instance have subscribed with. If someone creates a new community on another instance, you won't see it on yours until you or someone else discovers and subscribes to it.
