If I had any close friends who used Linux, I would install this for April fools.
“Order to chaos”? Aren’t you forgetting someone?
Honestly, it took me a second to even realize this wasn’t just an unedited scene from LD.
Relax, Doc. It's just a bit of lin alg!
I agree on most of those counts, except the Chakotay one is actually very real; if you didn’t fully read the article (and I knew this already before reading it), a “Native American” cultural consultant, only to fond out the dude was a complete phony, so nearly everything that show depicts of Chakotay’s culture is either pulled from stereotypes or made up entirely.
I feel like as this goes on, this list just devolves into random Star Trek species.
I mean, the whole point of the Antedians and Breen is they’re total meme species.
I personally feel like one of the ACTUAL worst species in the franchise is LD’s Dooplers. While overall, the eponymous episode is great, probably one of the series bests, the Dooplers felt out of place. Usually, Lower Decks has a standard of doing things that are both ridiculous and plausible by Star Trek logic - in other words, the cartoon dial is usually set at 6 or 7 (unless it’s a hallucination), but I feel like the Dooplers were a jarring turn to a 10.
Give us Prodigy S3, please.
Probably very dead, considering that Tuvixing is a biological process and Data isn't biological.
If we're just thinking personality combination, I'd think he would just be a milder, hyper-intelligent version of Worf in many ways, as I think Worf's thoughts would fill in a lot of Data's questions. I think this combined being would probably be a much better father to Alexander, though.
I've often pondered about how Vulcans view gender and sexuality.
I think pre-Surak/logic, they may have demonstrated homophobia and transphobia, but modern Vulcan Society would probably be chill with it under the reasoning that discrimination would reduce a person's efficacy as a functional member of Vulcan Society. For instance, given a choice between allowing a person to contribute verses driving them to the brink of suicide, Vulcans would probably tend to lean towards the first option.
There could very well still be stigma (Vulcans are far from a perfect society; some may have views that it is illogical to have a romantic relationship without a child), but it's dampened by the logic from the previous paragraph.
There's also the Pon Farr to keep in mind. Not only would it be hard to fight a person in the Ponn Farr, but also you'd literally be killing them by trying to prevent expression of their orientation.
Great sleuthing!
I recently came across this meme. After researching, the original meme appears to be https://www.geeksandgamers.com/topic/star-trek-doctor-mccoy-memes/ in late 2020.
That leaves me with one question: Where is this frame of DeForest Kelley from? Looking through both my memories and a double-check in MemoryAlpha, I'm certain it's not from TOS. Is there someone here more familiar with DeForest Kelley's filmography or, alternatively, someone who actually has the time to start looking through DeForest Kelley films?
Do any of you guys listen to the band Cheekface? I like them a decent amount (not as much as TMBG, though).
I've always found lyrically, they have some of the same vibes as They Might Be Giants (if a bit more consistently dark), the vocals somewhat remind me of the Johns (in that it wouldn't necessarily have mainstream appeal, yet makes the song better), but the music itself is a bit different. (Funny enough, they did a cover of Ana Ng, though I'd say it is only okay.)

What are your guy's thoughts on the theme for Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973)?
I feel like:

Based on The Mesopotemians by They Might Be Giants and the Epic of Gilgamesh.
I can't wait to see what they can do, considering what System76 did with just GNOME.
I don't think anything's going to pry me from XFCE, though, except maybe if 4.20 hasn't made much progress on Wayland.
Building a custom Buildroot Linux for a Pentium 2 laptop that can fit on a CD so I could back up a 2.5" IDE drive to a USB drive, probably.
On another note, last night, I had to get a Google TV set up on my dorm Wi-Fi, which requires me to either go through a portal to set it up or to go into my account and add the device's MAC address. The TV (which was brand new and doing OOBE stuff) wouldn't let me go to settings to get the MAC address without a network connection. Even more infuriating, there was a button in the Google Home app that said "Show MAC address", but when I pushed it, it would say "Can't get MAC address." What I ended up doing to get around that crap was setting up my Debian Thinkpad (which I am writing from now) to share its internet connection over ethernet to finish the setup process so I could get to settings and get the MAC address.
On one hand, a funny experience, but on the other hand, I'm simultaneously both mad at Google and my dorm internet provider.
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.
