Why does it feel like if Ron had a computer at all, he would would a Libreboot Thinkpad running one of those weird FSF-approved distros with no firmware?

It's mostly a breeze. The only misery I can recall is I remember I had a wonky knockoff Arduino board that kept jumping serial ports, but that was a hardware issue.

Apple should experience bij.

Gul Dukat on Empok Nor: I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage called the blood of the exploited working class, but they've overcome their shyness; now they're calling me "your highness", and a world screams, "Kiss me, son of god."

Any plot involving Joran Dax: Each night I lie awake, completely alone. A voice is speaking, and I tremble, for it's not my own, my own. I can't ignore it, although I try. The intrusive whisper fascinates me.

VOY Endgame: Person from today, here is you in ~~2082~~ 2404.

Weyoun: My evil twin, bad weather friend.

Murf in PRO: Mysteerious whisper. Mysteeeeeeeeeeeerious whisper.

LD Minding the Mind's Mines: And what they found was just a statue standing where the statue got me high.

ENT finale: Everybody dies frustrated and sad

When Dukat killed Jadzia (or Rick Berman on the floor of his residence tomorrow 😉): Now it's over; I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want, or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do.

Let me guess: "Birdhouse in your Soul" and "Istanbul"? (Was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. It's a Turkish delight on a moonlit night. Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople, so if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul. Even old New York, was once New Amsterdam. Why'd they change it? I can't say; people just liked it better that way.)

TMBG's back catalog is very chungus, though - lots of stuff about death.

Oh my gosh, the next TMBG+Trek meme!

I agree. The only feature where I'd say it's weaker feature-wise is it doesn't have any form of virtual GPU acceleration - either you deal with software rendering or have to pass through a graphics card (I've done it, but it's not easy.).

Otherwise, I'd say it tends to run better than VirtualBox, though it's been years since I last used Vbox anyhow. A plus is Virt Manager comes in most distro repos, whereas VirtualBox doesn't. Also, it allows you to directly edit the XML, so you can do some cool stuff that would be really annoying (not impossible) to do in VirtualBox.

As much as I think this post is on point, it's incredibly ironic that it's on Twitter. 😆

I'm not sure that fits the frame narrative of it being a holodeck program, especially considering that the player using the program is assumed to be a human (in another one of these scenes, the program stops and Gowron rants about how he's going to have to start teaching the Klingon way instead of the human way).

The larger ones like Worf are $20, which feels pretty typical for that type of collectible.

I don't know about the smaller ones.
