...but it's not a remake...?

No...the whole idea behind free software is that you can build from source and can even modify and contribute because it's free. There's no moral imperative to use CPU cycles and energy to do everything on your own computer.

It is pretty cool that Gentoo's Portage extends the Ports tree concept to the base operating system, though. I used to use it but at a certain point I decided it was too much of a time suck. I hopped around distros and nowadays use Arch. If I get tired of Arch, it'll probably be Fedora unless they go the way of Ubuntu and Windows.

Ignorance is a choice, too. I've met so many people who are proud of being ignorant. I once met a woman who was in her mid 30s who was explicitly against learning new things because...reasons?

Oh lort. You just gave me flashbacks. One of my kids bought one of those $200 Chuwi laptops and it would barf all over itself about once a month, so badly it would require a reinstall.

Couldn't have doors in high school, we might try to smoke a joint in there after all.

Doors?

No, seriously, the only time I had a toilet with a door in public school was in kindergarten. After that, no doors on the toilets.

I like the part where she admits she doesn't give a shit about infant mortality rates in poor areas

It was never about the sanctity of life for most of them.

Go back and rewatch TOS. Spock is emotional.

Yeah, basically they took the intro Dennis McCarthy wrote for TNG, and replaces his theme with the TMP theme

PSA: Word isn't layout software, it's a WYSIWYG document editor. You can change settings to make it work more like layout software, but it's better to use a layout tool if you need that.

Recently I switched to using Affinity Publisher because it did everything I needed from InDesign. The only problem being, if I want to share files with anyone, I have to make sure they also have Affinity Publisher.

It seems like a lot of iot tech is geared more towards iPhone in the US. For example my wife's Odyssey will read the entire header of a text message with text to speech, and if you look into it Honda says it's a known issue. No such issue with iPhones.

Good Lord they established that Pike and Batel have a relationship in the first episode.
