And meme templates from shows (with first episode air dates) after 1987, too. (Just kidding. Love TNG, but PRO and LD don’t get the meme love they deserve.)

I was always interested in computer programming, and was doing so much in WSL and several VMs that I installed Cygwin. I was then like, “What the heck! If I want a Unix terminal, I might as well use Linux.”

I’m aware of that. I was quite sure the author was joking, with the slightest bit of concern of them actually making the mistake.

With 48 MB, you can, though. That’s what I booted 5.17 on a Pentium II with once to get a basic busybox terminal. I think I did an experiment once with qemu and found the minimum to be somewhere in the high 30s or low 40s.

For one, AI datasets often break copyright law, frequently appropriating from artists. Executives are also trying to use it to eliminate the jobs of artists, and I feel it’s wrong to try and obsolete something people love doing.

In addition, they take a lot of power, not helping in the way of the needed changes to follow climate goals.

Clarification: Copyright laws can be annoying, and I don’t always agree with them. However, it also protects smaller artists. I think there are many cases where piracy is totally fine, though, like if a company vaults an animated streaming show and gets rid of all other ways to watch it.

I used to think Chris Pine Kirk was better than Shatner. I now kind of feel like Pine’s the best Captain, but SNW Kirk’s the best gentlemanly lady killer kirk.

Based on a real situation I encountered once: Normal Star Trek Fan: Yeh, I like Seven of Nine.

“Red flag” Star Trek Fan: I like Seven of Nine.

Also, the use of AI-generated images on their website.

I compiled a minimal custom Buildroot once for a Pentium II to do some backups with USB support. Kerbel 5.17.

As an ex-Vegas resident, I have to ask: why were you moving stuff to Vegas?

Although I don’t agree with your argument about the complexity of automation (someone could just fix the motors every once in a while if some are borked), I also see your point that as sort of a bread-and-butter ship, the California class might be designed as a KISS ship for its application, whereas maybe something like an Intrepid class, if expected to go into battle, might have an automated system.
