Awesome!

Crazy that this was uploaded almost exactly one year after it went off the air. Also crazy that that was twenty years ago!

I’m going to complain about this until it happens and then enjoy it and then continue complaining for another ten years BUT after that I will pretend I always thought it was brilliant and beloved nugget of Trek lore.

This is so true, I always think it’s funny when they say AI will fix climate change, what’s it going to do? Tell us to stop burning fossil fuels?

Fedora has two immutable distros KDE (Kinoite) and GNOME (Silverblue) and both are excellent and very stable.

Also Season 8 of DS9 would have revealed that Sisko had laser eyes this whole time and just chose not to employ them

It wasn’t so much the baseball itself but what it represents (a bazooka that shoots baseballs)

Unless there is some caveat like the nanites don’t work on the founders or Jem Hadar I don’t think it would be much of a contest

Then again the talking apes from earth seem to keep them at bay pretty well

gosh ok i guess the meme doesnt count then

I’ve wondered the same thing many many times, but y’know what turns out he wasn’t

ShelfMark is the go-to option now. It’s also far better than Readarr was and works seamlessly with both Prowlarr and Anna’s Archive.

I think CWA is the most robust option out there. BookLore was vibecoded and behaved in the typical weird/unexpectedly way vibecoded apps tend to. I haven’t tried the Fork of it, but CWA checks nearly all the boxes and is actively developed.

It was clearly about how marijuana makes your children communist

IIRC those updates were a series of bugfixes after a major update, which seems to be how they prefer to work.

No love lost for IBM but I still wouldn’t expect to see casually mentioned alongside Palantir.

Wow I went to fact check that claim and it’s actually no exaggeration. Here is the AP article.

Google and Amazon provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli military under “Project Nimbus,” a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021, when Israel first tested out its in-house AI-powered targeting systems. The IDF has used Cisco and Dell server farms or data centers. Red Hat, an independent IBM subsidiary, also has provided cloud computing technologies to the Israeli military, while Palantir Technologies, a Microsoft partner in U.S. defense contracts, has a “strategic partnership” providing AI systems to help Israel’s war efforts.

Crazy to see Palantir, Google, Microsoft mentioned alongside …Red Hat.

Anytime someone anywhere on the political spectrum uses the word “woke” without also defining what the fuck it’s supposed to mean I just cannot take them seriously.

S-tier satire of the conservative “Trekkie” (please Gene, I hope you’re being satirical). Real comments like that always make me think of Douglass Adams’ “rules” on growing old:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Anytime someone says Star Trek’s progressivism was never “hamfisted” I usually just point them to the after school special that is Let that be your Last Battlefield:

IDK I think we’ll continue to see incremental gains for a long time, especially as normies abandon desktops/laptops entirely and the entire market shrinks. Windows will probably continue to dominate in enterprise for long past when it’s fashionable.
