Also, half-dead macrovirus infected with a worm put in charge of Starfleet Medical.
3 days. Wow!
But I guess we just have to have faith… faith of the heaaaaaaaa-art.
On another note, it looks like federation should be sped up in this commit, which is in the recently-released version 0.19.6 (and 0.19.7, which has come out since). I would think lemmy.world would have to upgraded as well, though.
Thanks for letting me know. 🖖
I mean YaST is kind of snazzy, though not enough to pull me from Debian for the moment.
Phasers or Bat’leths (Mek’leths are fine as well)?
We could also do a round of Chula, a solar sail race, ambo-jitsu, springball, darts, etcetera.
Burnham falls afoul of the “no promoted mains” rule, unfortunately.
I find it kind of sad they haven’t done anything in the 2290s-2350s era. I think it would be fun to have a series with April in monster maroon coming up on his second retirement in the late 2310s or early 2320s.
The IDW miniseries Picard’s Academy was set in this era (aligning with previous canon of when Picard went to the Academy). I enjoyed it (checked it out from my local library), though probably half just because of Spock’s outfit, honestly.
EDIT: April probably wouldn’t be the primary focus. It would probably focus on a diplomatic ship or maybe even the Academy or civilians. It probably couldn’t be too action-based, as we don’t want to undermine this being one of the most peaceful eras in Federation history - I worry to do anything interesting, you’d have to pull Disco-style shenanigans again. No matter one’s opinion on Disco, I feel like it would be kind of obnoxious to do another “this secretly happened and no one knows about it” series.
This distro’s default background isn’t a knockoff of any particular popular non-*nix proprietary operating system’s default background:
Everybody knows glorious leader’s operating system. 😉
Honestly, rather than reinstalling, I’d suggest you boot into a live disk and use dd to copy your old disk over to the new one, then use Gpsrted or something to expand your partition. This worked very well when I upgraded the drives for my Debian install - I think it’s been two years since at thid point without any issues.
If you don’t have an extra drive slot, you might need to get an external adapter.
I just realized something else - I think this episode might contain the first mention of Cetacean ops going on an away mission, which reveals a lot about how their Starfleet lives might work.
I still wonder about several things, which I’ve been wanting to make my own post about anyway and probably will soon.
I like Debian. To save you the misery, though, you should probably just use the OBS Flatpak with it. I used to be a “native” pedant, but these days, I at minimum consider Flatpak a VERY necessary evil, if an evil at all.
Still waiting for word on LD soundtrack vol 2. I want more of those good Westlake tunes!
Autism has little to do with it - I’m on the spectrum and I have “proprietary” Star Trek wallpapers on all my Linux machines - Ent D and DS9 on desktop, DS9 crew on laptop, Cerritos on that one old Chromebook I installed Bcachefs Debian Testing on for fun once, Borg cube on my Surface…
Now my wallpaper choices and overall Star Trek fandom… you could probably make a reasonable guess on where that comes from. 😉
I have a few questions on uniforms.
For one, I just find it a bit strange some of them are wearing ENT-era uniforms, especially considering the base was updated in the 2260s. Although the uniforms look slick, chronologically, it almost feels like a run down American naval wessel in the 1970s wearing revolutionary war uniforms. I wonder if this points to the ENT uniforms being used for a really long time (no, my time is not finally here) much like the TOS film uniforms, if at least as a starbase uniform. Thus, it was still perfectly normal to see an ENT uniform in the 2230s and 40s, and not all that uncommon in the early 2260s.
Now what really confuses me, though, is how the base says they don’t have combadges, which conflicts with the previous depictions of base officers in LD:“Trusted Sources”:
I at first thought that maybe they were just embroidered like TOS uniforms. However, someone on Memory Alpha also caught this frame of one of these same personnel in 5x05:
The badge is gone, which suggests they are removable. This implies two possibilities: they were aesthetic, non-functioning badges, or they were real combadges.
I wonder why they disappeared. One theory might be the station used to be able to support a few, but the system broke and the few combadges in circulation were retired.
Ma’ah’s brother says all the “I can see the original Kahless” stuff at the end of the episode. That means that Kahless II being a clone is common knowledge. I wonder when that happened, though Kor seemed aware of it in DS9:”The Sword of Kahless”.
This beings up an intriguing question of when Kahless being a clone became common knowledge.
Yeh. I think part of it is it’s just hard to match season 4. I think the series’ single funniest dialogue comes from “Trusted Sources”.
Ransom: “How much do bench?”
Magistrate: “We don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads!”
Ransom: “Cool. I bench 25.”
