Another key point I feel is often overlooked about Star Trek is the "Gulliver's Travels" component of (at least pre-Kelvin) Star Trek. Every show, every race was secretly a fun-house-like caricature of humanity's worst traits, with the humans of the show demonstrating growth past that point. You laugh at or shirk away from them, but really it's modern humanity that is being depicted (Ferengi as capitalists, Klingons as warmongers, Romulans as subversives, etc.) And then we see what we could be, the hope that you talked about, in future humanity

It helps that Stewart is such a fantastic monologist. It's like hearing something complex about biology or ecology from David Attenborough. They both have such an effortless ability to communicate difficult subjects.

Alpine is fucking bae. I love that little distro so goddamned much.

Everybody raise your hand if you were radicalized by Star Trek ✋

Loving Alpine

You awaken from your slumber, refreshed and ready to face the day. You had stayed the night at your childhood home, visiting family, and the artifacts from that era that had the night before cast a ghostly presence were now starting to feel much more familiar. Your phone, on the table beside your bed, starts to ring.

All of that notwithstanding, I'd still prefer a matte display.

But if you hang in there, you get rewarded with a Riker's Beard

I like distro chooser, but the analysis seems off. It always recommends some mainstream distro that I end up hating after extended use. I've finally found one I like, but it was through brute force, not from some list somewhere or from asking in forums.

This release broke for me; had to roll back

Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a moderator!

Collective Soul (fairly popular in their heyday, less so now)

I've tried crochet before with absolutely zero success; kudos to you for getting all the sides proportional and even

It's German, so it's susa

They all technically are subject to the same terms, they just don't bug you about it the way suse does

It means your phone is using recycled up/down votes

I don't know; the app kept putting up a toast message and dying. I don't recall what the message was. Does the app record logs somewhere?

Works great on my phone, too
