TheGrandNagus,

Nobara is just Fedora with some tweaks.

TheGrandNagus,

It literally isn’t.

Even if you pirate it, you still pay with the immense amount of data they take, even if you opt out of a bunch of it (which you can only do temporarily anyway).

Genocide requires intent. Whereas this alien just had a fleeting moment of anger at the time of his wife being murdered.

Can he really be tried for genocide? It’s hard to say, but I’d say not. We all have dark intrusive thoughts, and in this instance it had disastrous consequences.

It’s all moot anyway. If you have no means or intention to enforce a law, does it really exist?

TheGrandNagus,

Phlox, Janeway, Sisko

Damn. Lots of genocide from the good guys.

TheGrandNagus,

Genocide does require intent, yes.

TheGrandNagus,

Yeah but we aren’t talking heat-of-the-moment shoving someone into traffic during a bar fight, we’re talking heat-of-the-moment naughty thought during an aerial bombardment from a hostile force where his wife was killed.

TheGrandNagus,

Mate, there are prominent US politicians saying they aim to destroy the issue of trans people, to find a solution to a the trans problem. What do you think that means?

TheGrandNagus,

…based on what criteria? Lol

TheGrandNagus,

Fair enough. I guess it depends how you look at it. I was thinking in terms of UX, in which case it’d be Mint Cinnamon or anything running KDE Plasma that’d be the Windows of the Linux world.

I’ve actually come to think of Janeway as someone consistently written to be an inconsistent Captain, rather than 100% inconsistently written. Others are nowhere near as inconsistent as Janeway.

Once I started thinking of her inconsistency as being the result of trying to walk a tightrope of sticking to Starfleet ideals, as well as maintaining order in a demoralised crew in unfamiliar territory where they don’t have the support and full might of the Federation and its allies behind them, Janeway’s inconsistent and contradictory behaviour starts making a lot more sense and feels a lot more organic.

TheGrandNagus,

Funny, for me it’s windows that I’m constantly battling.

Be it having to constantly restart and do updates that take forever.

Searching online and downloading then clicking through installers for software I want, rather than just going into an app store.

Having to manually remove ads from my start menu

Remove as much telemetry as I can (that of course accidentally gets reset by some updates)

I have dark mode set, yet so many programs (even first party MS stuff that’s part of the OS!) doesn’t respect it, so I get randomly blinded at night

Each individual app running their own updater services in the background

Having to remember to run disk cleanup every once in a while because temporary files and old update files hang around for ages, eventually slowing my system down and taking dozens of GB of space

There are some good things - Win11’s window tiling is genuinely excellent, for example. But man, overall, Windows is just difficult and tedious to use. The only reason people use it is because it’s the default. Not because it’s good or it’s easy.

TheGrandNagus,

3 pips and gold uniform? TIL Picard was in engineering or security before he made captain

TheGrandNagus,

This is 100% from Viz

TheGrandNagus,

Adult-humour comedy/comic strip magazine from the north east of England. It has a bunch of material like this

Gnome was already pretty great for accessibility (for a Linux DE anyway), and I’m glad to see that it’s getting continued work.

Usually (understandably) it’s overlooked

Also nice to hear them actually explaining why VRR hasn’t been enabled yet - there are still kinks to work out. Reddit/Lemmy told me it’s just because Gnome devs are evil pieces of shit who hate their users.

TheGrandNagus,

First televised interracial kiss in the US. I believe there was a televised interracial kiss on UK TV a decade earlier.

TheGrandNagus,

First interracial kiss on US TV, yeah, but not the first overall by a long shot

TheGrandNagus,

I like Ezri. It was somewhat crazy to me that they never originally intended on killing her off to begin with.

Like, they created a race that can (sort of) Doctor Who style turn into a brand new person, and their plan was to never utilise that beyond one season 1 episode where someone steals the Dax symbiote?

That’s crazy to me. Don’t get me wrong, they did utilise the “I have multiple lifetimes of experience” aspect, but never intending to give her a new character was a little odd.

I really liked Ezri. It’s just really unfortunate what happened to Terry Farrell that made it happen.

TheGrandNagus,

I’ll neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of this post

TheGrandNagus,

I had a massive crush on Nicole De Boer

I mean I still do, now that I think about it

TheGrandNagus,

Gates has always been a piece of shit and I hate how he became the poster boy of Reddit because he set up a tax-beneficial charity to clean up his image. I got doxxed for bringing it up in one of his AMAs.

Is it better that he gave money to charity than for him not to? Yeah, sure. But I won’t be fooled into thinking he’s a great guy. He’s a piece of shit with a great PR team. The world would be better without his shitty monopoly.

TheGrandNagus,

Haven’t used it in a while but Amberol is simple (all I need) and gorgeous (which I care about).

TheGrandNagus,

Can’t believe all those eugenics wars happened in the 90s and the press didn’t report on it

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

TheGrandNagus,

[Gently pushes an Engineering Ensign against the wall, staring at them with a cold rage]

I appreciate GIMP but nah, it’s objectively inferior to Photoshop by a long shot and development is really slow. I mean they’ve only just got to GTK 3.

It’s comparatively difficult to use.

Plus they insist on sticking to that infantile name. I don’t know how they’re expecting to get industry support with a name like that.

Don’t get me wrong I use it every once in a while but damn they’re so far behind it’s a joke. And the worst part is they seemingly don’t want the project to advance.
