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, to linuxmemes in Linux community throught history

…based on what criteria? Lol

TheGrandNagus, to memes in He's ready for anything

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, to linux in I'm Done With Windows, Are you?

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, (edited ) to risa in Every time I'm trying to decide what new show I should check out

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, to lemmyshitpost in How many Star Trek fans will see red because they don't see red?

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

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Oh hey, I heard Star Trek got mentioned on the news! Let's just go check and-

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

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Oh hey, I heard Star Trek got mentioned on the news! Let's just go check and-

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

TheGrandNagus, to risa in What part of this are you not understanding, Beverly?

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.

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

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to linux in #129 Hello 2024 · This Week in GNOME

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, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

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

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Sorry Ezri

I had a massive crush on Nicole De Boer

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

TheGrandNagus, to lemmyshitpost in It's a vibe

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