Thank you! My crappy TMBG meme is now showing up in my TMBG community!

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."

As a side effect, the i386 theme is fixed now.

Also, half-dead macrovirus infected with a worm put in charge of Starfleet Medical.

The camera dramatically zooms into Mr. Spock, who raised an eyebrow. 3 days. Wow!

But I guess we just have to have faith… faith of the heaaaaaaaa-art.

I’ve never used MATE - almost always been an XFCE guy since I got serious about Linux.

It was sort of an accident. After a while of using Ubuntu in a VM (including a weird IceWM stint), I tried installing Debian on an old laptop I had sitting around. The first attempt, where I tried KDE, something went wrong with the Network Manager install. At this point, I can never know what went wrong - it’s been years All I know is that I chose XFCE on the second attempt and didn’t have the problems, likely due to coincidence. Still, I stick with XFCE out of satisfaction.

On another note, it looks like federation should be sped up in this commit, which is in the recently-released version 0.19.6 (and 0.19.7, which has come out since). I would think lemmy.world would have to upgraded as well, though.

Thanks for letting me know. 🖖

I mean YaST is kind of snazzy, though not enough to pull me from Debian for the moment.

Phasers or Bat’leths (Mek’leths are fine as well)?

We could also do a round of Chula, a solar sail race, ambo-jitsu, springball, darts, etcetera.

Burnham falls afoul of the “no promoted mains” rule, unfortunately.

I find it kind of sad they haven't done anything in the 2290s-2350s era. I think it would be fun to have a series with April in monster maroon coming up on his second retirement in the late 2310s or early 2320s.

The IDW miniseries Picard's Academy was set in this era (aligning with previous canon of when Picard went to the Academy). I enjoyed it (checked it out from my local library), though probably half just because of Spock's outfit, honestly.

EDIT: April probably wouldn't be the primary focus. It would probably focus on a diplomatic ship or maybe even the Academy or civilians. It probably couldn't be too action-based, as we don't want to undermine this being one of the most peaceful eras in Federation history - I worry to do anything interesting, you'd have to pull Disco-style shenanigans again. No matter one's opinion on Disco, I feel like it would be kind of obnoxious to do another "this secretly happened and no one knows about it" series.
