I cried in the theater when Kirk died at the end of Generations. I was 12 years old and sitting next to my dad who, looking back on it, was definitely emotional too.

Nothing is temporary. Every script, patch, application, and duct tape MacGyver/Scotty inspired fix I’ve ever written will run for eternity….

Personally, none. But my home machines all run Linux and my work machine is still on 23H2. But I’ve read a few stories about wider-spread-than-normal issues with the update.

It will take at least that long to fix 24H2….

My personal experience has been that it’s games from the post-DOS era, especially PC games from the very late 90s and early 00s, that can be really tricky.

I’ve had better luck running games from that era from my GOG library via Lutris on Linux than Windows 10/11.

The ones that run in DOS Box are comparatively easy!

I live in Portland, can confirm.

What do folks think butter is made out of?

I love the Elder Scrolls. It’s my favorite game series. But after Starfield…. I don’t know that I’m in a big hurry for ES6.

I want it, don’t get me wrong. I want it to be amazing. But if it’s going to be like Starfield, maybe not…

I just watched that episode last night!

It also has a great scene with O’Brien and Worf (not related to the union story) where Worf complains about things on the station being broken down all the time. O’Brien explains to him that DS9 is this weird combination of Cardassian, Bajoran, and Federation technology that was never meant to work together.

He got bored waiting for something to break on the Enterprise and says (paraphrasing) “They need me here!”

Gotta love the Chief!

That’s really good! I love landscapes.

Yeah, I do all my development in WSL2 (Ubuntu) at work every day. I use VSCode on the Windows 11 host. It’s great!

Would I prefer to use Linux natively? Sure, but I also have to support some Windows-only legacy code and a D365 environment or two, so Windows makes sense.

You’re damn right!
