I like OpenStreetMaps's solution. (Though you'll have to dig a little - they don't show names for large bodies of water like that by default.)
I agree in some senses with the stand-alone part, but not necessarily the animated part. I feel like it would just need to be marketed right. Executives are convinced for the most part that animation is either only for kids or for irreverent adult comedies, when it really should be viewed as a general medium.
I think Infinity Train is the best evidence of my point (look it up if you don't know); it really transcends the typical bounds assigned to animation. Book 3 especially is truly just a great fantasy/sci-fi drama. However, it was basically killed by executives who wanted a tax write-off and couldn't see its potential outside a "kids show". Now some of the series is purchasable on various online storefronts, but the only way to watch all of Book 3 is to pirate it.
If executives and people alike would liberate themselves from the stigma of animation, I feel like you could pull off high-quality, TNG-length seasons that allow less rushed charater development for a reasonable budget compared to an expensive live action streaming show. In some ways, Prodigy was an example of this - I felt like I got more time with the characters than almost any other modern Trek (granted SNW is still going on).
I've never met a person where I mentioned Star Trek and they went, "Ew, Discovery. I'm never watching any Star Trek ever again"; I think Discovery had its flaws (and strengths), but it made little impact on franchise popularity.
Usually (which you touch on), it's more like they're just bamboozled by the cannon. Like, I was watching DS9 once, and my roommate asked if it was the original, which then brought a long and complicated explanation from me. I think you're right that it'd be very nice to have a Star Trek show that one could show to people where when old lore is brought in, it's delivered in such a way that people can pick it up as they go.
Why do we even bother with data at all? Let’s just not exist - humans greatly increase attack surface.
They Might Be Giants (the band)
Sad to hear. I don’t know if it’s luck or something else.
I’ve been running Debian on btrfs on my laptop for 3 months without issue; I still use ext4 on my desktop, as I just went with defaults when I installed the operating system.
Yeh. I think part of it is it's just hard to match season 4. I think the series' single funniest dialogue comes from "Trusted Sources".
Ransom: "How much do bench?"
Magistrate: "We don't do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads!"
Ransom: "Cool. I bench 25."
To be fair, it would be weird for Google NOT to support Linux, as I believe they use Debian Testing internally.
I think it depends. If a school has a laptop for each student, it is most certainly a Chromebook. However, a lot of schools also have a mix of systems. In elementary school, I was taught to use Microsoft Office on Windows, for instance. At my high school, all the students had Chromebooks, but there were also some labs with Windows machines; graphic design, photography, and film classes had labs full of 5K iMacs.
I've been enjoying my Thinkpad E16 that I got brand new from Best Buy. https://startrek.website/post/13283869
Have you tried CoreCtrl? That has made life on my new Thinkpad much easier.
On a more serious note, it's not as bad as when they messed up the DS9 theme for season 4 and beyond by adding that crappy drumbeat on top that doesn't even stay synced with the song the whole way. That truly bent and broke me.
Always thought that Dukat was space war criminal version of Michael Scott.
