No! Needole is already bad enough!

They Might Be Giants collaborated with them and released a new t-shirt in 2025, I think to commemorate the anniversary of their initial collaboration back in the mid 2000s.

Either that, or OP amalgamated several occurrences in TNG…

?

10 minutes of Memory Alpha searching yields no results. I’m truly stumped.

EDIT: I see mentions of Beverly Crusher getting turned into a dog by Q, but nothing similar for Riker.

For me, as long as Debian still packages it and disables these features, I’ll be fine, but LibreWolf looks more and more tempting these days, and having tried it a bit, I can live with the minor annoyances.

The Star Trek IV punk is one of those jokes that’s so unfunny it causes an integer overflow and loops back around to absolutely hilarious.

The weird thing about that is I feel like whoever are Bashir’s commanding officers during the rest of his career would have had to have hand-picked him despite that, and thus wouldn’t have qualms about promoting him either.

I like to use pythonz in this case; it’s a tool to manage Python installs, and it puts the installs in a directory under your home directory, not affecting anything in the system.

It does build each version from source, which introduces some quirks; I’ve found compilation for some Python versions works better with clang, and sometimes, you need to enable build options.

Still, I think this is a good way to do things; just start whichever Python version you want, and then create a venv with it.

No, I don’t want to spend weeks to learn GDB inside-out, so I don’t have to search online for 15-30 minutes on an AI infested internet every time I want to use it, for each feature I’m using it for that day.

1. Search “gdb cheatsheet” and bookmark it. This looks good, but you have plenty of choices. When you find one you like, you probably almost never have to go to the internet again.
2. Unfortunately, you can’t avoid a search engine while programming; you’re not going to get very far. All you can do is develop your search skills to avoid the slop.
3. If you’re using a statically typed language (C, C++, Rust, etc.) already, basic GDB is comparatively simple. For these languages, not knowing GDB is a bit like an electrician not knowing how to use a multimeter; it’s a matter of necessity rather than “gatekeeping”.

No, I don’t want to gatekeep Linux from “normies”, by making it as user-unfriendly as possible, so I can keep the Linux community a frat club for slur saying techbros.

For your sake, I must emphasize that insulting the people you want help from is not an effective tactic for obtaining help. There are certainly jerks in the broader Linux community, but effectively accusing anyone in this community unable to give you exactly what you want of being a “slur saying techbro” (unless I misunderstand you) is, no offense, an incredibly entitled view to have.

If you wish to make valuable use of internet forums, I would request you take heed of this: www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Anyhow, I wish you luck in your endeavors.

Maybe it’s just I’m a relative noob to build systems, but gosh, do I love Meson.

The documentation’s pretty okay - not perfect, but better than cmake - and it feels like I can actually learn it by example through looking at other projects’ setups.

I can live with using other build systems for other projects, but for personal projects, I’ll always choose Meson. I’ll always push for it if a project I’m working on needs to choose a build system.

I feel a bit insulted that Bashir didn’t even make Lieutenant Commander in his entire life in Starfleet, considering he was very young when we last saw him.

Interestingly, we see an okudagram in PRO that confirms prime Harry hit Lieutenant by 2384. Unfortunately, I can’t post it, as my instance is updating my image storage infrastructure right now.

Actually, it could be a “great filter” situation; mostly only ensign Kims end up in situations where they end up accidentally switching multiverses. Lieutenant Kims are far less likely to end up in such a situation, thus the small sample size.

In the recent IDW comics, I’m pretty sure Harry Kim tries to blow up the Tzenkethi home world while working for Starfleet Intelligence. Tom had left Miral with Harry, not knowing Harry would take the baby on such a crazy mission; Harry has an EMH in his secret hideout on the Tzenkethi homeworld to change diapers.

Edit: He also goes by the code name Kingsnake.

At least in the US, they’re all on there.

But then again, people might not want to support Paramount because of their collaboration with Gul Donal. Currently, my parents pay for it, so I used it, but they seem open to the idea of collecting physical media releases and may eventually jump ship because we mostly just watch Trek on it.

Of course, I think the best way to do physical media is to buy used through local businesses rather than directly pay some crappy executives. Last I checked, I think I’ve seen up to LD season 4 on shelves.

You could do signup through a form and just throw a QR code on a poster.

My university Linux Users Group usually uses Crytpad (which is FOSS and seems federated, and has a flagship instance) to create forms for votes, so that might do the trick for you.

Maybe ask around and request to put up posters in a local library?

Also, see if your local university has a group already, and maybe if the age difference isn’t creepy, see if you can hang with them.

The whole time, I was thinking, “Why doesn’t Pike just pull a Quark (or more correctly, make Quark pull a Pike), and marry, then almost immediately divorce her?”

“Time is an illusion; lunchtime doubly so.”

The difference is it was Federation citizens doing it to rogue Federation citizens, who had actually committed a similar crime of forced relocation by making a Cardassian colony uninhabitable to Cardassians.

That doesn’t make the situation totally right, that’s just to say it’s morally gray.

It’s a little like calling the Alamo a genocide.
