I never got into Discovery, but that’s neat that they remembered that species exists. Someday I’ll give it another go. I like when Star Trek does go “…Wait that’s a thing we did, go back to that.” Partially why I enjoy Lower Decks.
I also saw some of the episode where the Universal Translator broke, and I wish that was a full episode, on how to deal with it. I’m kinda shocked the Federation never has that problem often enough where they need to have “Star Trek Esperanto” as needed for all cadets to graduate.
We also gotta remember, Star Trek is almost always focuses on the big ships. Enterprise, Voyager, Cerritos, they are all important, but I highly doubt the federation needs to deal with a major galactic event every other Tuesday. I doubt the USS Luna had as much adventure as the TItan. Most are standard surveying ships, like a Steamrunner with a crew of 24.
If they did, the Federation does a shockingly good job.
I’ve always had the idea that ships that were focused on on species had certain accommodations that other species would find too annoying or dangerous to live on with service. Vulcan ships are probably warmer than humans would like, Andorrans would probably die.
I always forget the name of their species, but the people who require a breather to pump in fresh non-Oxygen rich, I assume that if they had any ships, their life support would be exclusively their air, with those neck devices to help pump when visiting other plants and ships.
It would make more sense why Vulcan, an original member of the Federation, still has seemingly dozens if not hundreds of ships with their own design. I assume Andorians and Tellarite do too, but Star Trek forgets about them often.
If you happen to be on linux, there are likely guides out there for that, too. I would think there is a decent amount of overlap of people who want to play old Star Trek games and people who are interested in linux.
Libby often had any popular books often taken up by other users, so I couldn’t read until someone else “turned in their copy”.
I get libraries in real life that have limited stock of books, but it’s a epub file hosted somewhere. The only limit is the server space and bandwidth costs.
Also the app was so laggy on even my (at the time) midrange device, that it felt like I was browsing books on molasses.
If they’ve fixed that, that’s incredible. I haven’t used it since, it left such a horrible impression. Trying to limit an endless digital supply, like making ebooks into early NFTs.
It’s a neat idea, and the name is so good. I even saw on an .onion site that had it told in plain text, and the visuals were ASCII recreations.
There is a (conspiracy) theory that the writer was actually working for a government since a lot of the instructions don’t work, or would potentially kill the person making it. Thus anyone who tried to follow it would not get results or die from making a project at home.
Seeing as it was published in 1971, and the FBI’s COINTELPRO ended that year, it’s not impossible. They hated anarchists and anyone too “un-american”.
That said, zero proof. Hence the conspiracy in conspiracy theory.

Huh, they seemingly have money to not fuck our eyes without lube for ads, but I guess they somehow just don’t have enough money, 156 billion dollars is really nothing after all. Probably more money in between my couch cushions. Such a small indie company that has to struggle to remain afloat, like an Etsy store.
I’m sure they can take a page from every online service before we entered the 2020s, where you could pay to enter without ads, like Netflix was. But no, the ad company has to inject ads into everything.
