“Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?”
- Lt. Cmdr Data, Star Trek: Generations
I like my Quark version:
Seriously, though. Why do Quark and Doofenschmirtz give kind of the same vibes? I guess part of it is a Perry the Platypus dynamic with Odo.
This is simultaneously a post-modern masterpiece and the most disgusting, atrocious thing I have ever seen.
I do use that sometimes. I was able to use it to look at similar laptop models to my Thinkpad to inform my purchase. I then uploaded a probe when I got my hands on it.
I see the need for posts with recommendations in some ways, though - neither the main site or the forum are the easiest to parse, and it doesn’t have every computer model. It is nice to have a human to guide you - it just isn’t so nice when the community starts to get cluttered with these requests.
Honestly part of it is some of these people just don’t do online research, and they might not read the community rules anyway, but it would be nice if we had an explicit rule that hardware recommendations either go to the annual post or be for very oddly specific needs.
I have been using Debian - it’s the only distro I’ve used in my 3 years of Linux as a daily driver, and I started using it in VMs instead of Ubuntu a while before that.
I also like stability and Debian’s community-oriented nature.
I am currently on Testing for my desktop, but plan to either go stable or do a reinstall when Trixie hits stable - I’m tired of rolling release and my programs changing frequently. I have really enjoyed Debian 12 + Flatpaks on my Thinkpad, so I think I will do that when summer rolls around.
Oh certainly. OP is probably doing something wrong. This was just a good excuse to vent about real problems with GTK.
On another note, I sometimes get tired of “Please recommend a good laptop” posts - they’re always just the same old advice: “I liked my Framework” or “Get a Thinkpad”.
I kind of wonder if we could just have an annual mega-post for Linux hardware that gets pinned and mentioned in the server links. For example, “(Pinned) Linux Hardware 2025”. Then we have a rule that you don’t do hardware recommendation posts unless it’s something extremely oddly specific, like “Best Linux hardware for a Pentium II build” or maybe even a question about people’s experiences with VFIO on recent motherboard.
I mean, this might be a bit more your fault in this case, but I agree with the sentiment.
They’re always changing something about the CSS sheets, and I find it a pain to develop for, granted it’s been a few years since I last touched it, and on a very hobbyist level at that. I quickly switched to Qt for that project. Now I use wxWidgets, which I guess just uses GTK, but I like that I don’t have to directly deal with GTK.
Be seeing you. 👁️👌
Also, Ferenginar is rainy, so I imagine most wouldn’t want to go out into the rain nude.
Even more conservative ones might have rain coats they take off inside.
It seems like a large majority of females wear clothes sort of thing. I went through the episode to see if there were any more. I found up to seven or eight more instances, with screenshots below (some of these may be unintentional duplicates from different perspetives.:
Interestingly in the first one, she is with an older man, suggesting that she might be an older woman, although we also see an older Ferengi woman in the background as well who is clothed.
Re-evaluating the original image I posted, I notice that the person the unclothed woman is sitting with is drawn like a lot of other Ferengi women, which suggests she might be meeting up with another woman, possibly a friend or a daughter. Unfortunately, it’s not high-enough quality on my end (I’m limited to 480p by the Paramount jerks) to make out if the unclothed Ferengi is an older or younger women - maybe it’s clearer on someone’s Blu-Ray set.
Overall, wow, this was a weird way to spend an evening. I’m even less proud to say I did this than when I did the Kim counting a few months back.
Meanwhile, me:
My head canon is there is a different Musk they’re talking about that isn’t a Nazi, and Lorca’s name drop was mirror universe stuff. 😂
I hope we can yeat Saru in somewhere else - at least the occasional appearance on STA. Let’s hope that Robert Picardo claiming “he’ll be deeper” means he’ll be 99% comic relief like when he said he’d be “more than comic relief” in Prodigy, meaning the show will be a banger rather than a melodramatic despair-fest with the occasional redeeming quality.
Either that or throw him through a portal to another era and call it temporal causality, although I guess the only currently running show they could throw him in is SNW, which wouldn’t make sense for obvious reasons. Now if Prodigy got its (unfortunately improbable) season 3 and he somehow managed to appear and they made a good plot out of it, I might not mind.
I have to agree that First Contact uniform is top-tier.
Also, guy misdated the Romulan supernova.
And Prodigy (though after Lower Decks):
No. That was in TMP. To be fair, that’s two TOS movies where mysterious probe threatens the Federation.
Although Eureka has got to have one of the worst depictions I’ve ever seen.
Maybe from 2371-2378, while Tom Paris was busy being his Delta Quadrant counterpart.
Like, I don’t hate Tom Paris (at least late VOY, anyway), but you can’t deny that in combination with his early personality, that face just looks inherently punchable for some reason.
The planet had previously industrialized and since de-industrialized by choice.
