“Is that another Borg time sphere?”

“Captain, I believe the borg may be attempting to alter the past - to prevent themselves from ever encountering Dr. Cochran’s music.”

Recycling tragic accidents is just good policy, and necessary to preserve the ecosystem on visited planets.

If we happen to get a few cloned bridge officers out of the bargain…that’s just good fortune.

There’s not an ounce of Cyan in Riker’s body, but this thing still refuses to materialize without a new cartridge!

It’s a network issue.

It’s not always a network issue!

I felt that too!

I was a bit nervous, but mostly relieved not to worry that every boot into Windows could cost me my whole setup.

Now I’m going through a trying-not-to-preach phase. I just want my friends to feel as free of Microsoft’s bullshit as I do.

Yes. It’s pretty funny reading someone so confident in all the extra security they’re getting from Windows messing with their boot sequence, earlier in this thread.

Corporate OS is going to corporate. End users and private files are rarely winners when corporate needs to corporate hard.

I’ve had the same dual boot configuration since around 2018 and this never happens to me, yet I keep reading that it happens to others. I really wonder what I did differently.

We have very long memories.

In my defense, an OS that I paid for breaking my boot settings was such a virus thing to do, it was really memorable.

Fixed it by blowing away the Windows partition.

That’s how my dual booting experiment ended, as well.

Yes, the office web apps all work fine inside of Firefox on Linux.

I’ve daily droven Linux for ~3 years and learned a lot

I don’t have any thoughts on certs that haven’t already been shared, but some thoughts for any interviews you may land:

• The person interviewing you has probably daily driver Linux for 20 years, and that’s okay. We all have to start somewhere.
• There aren’t going to be many others (if any) interviewing who have daily driven Linux for three years.

So be humble, but not too humble. Haha.

We’re a neat bubble here, but running Linux as a daily driver is still pretty rare, and puts you way ahead of the pack of other candidates, at least for entry/early Linux systems jobs.

Edit: And if you find an organization that uses AI spicy autocomplete to do entry level Linux admin work, run far away. There’s not enough money in the world to make it worth working with people that stupid (who choose to use hallucination for problems that demand reliability, haha).

Aegis works fine, as long as your organization allows standards compliant authenticators.

Yes. I also switched to Aegis.

Hit piece on a piece of shit leader of a shit company misses every target anyone cares about. Haha.

the company’s flailing AI efforts have been plagued by rock bottom morale, infighting, high-level executive departures, and related PR crises.

Sure. Whatever. They AI slopped worse than Google AI slopped.

Let’s all keep ignoring their campaign to end the entire concept of privacy.

I guess if that’s the society you live in, you would never realise it until you travelled.

We know our food is shit. We know our “leaders” are shit, too.

Top hacking scene of all time!

I hope that Lower Decks goes on to be as un-killable as Futurama.

Near perfect summary.

I just want to tack on that Tawny Newsome looks destined to be Trek’s next Jonathan Frakes - dipping in and out of Trek projects and leaving entertainment excellence in her wake.

(P.S. Dear Tawny and Jonathan, please don’t have done anything deeply horrible to someone while I composed this. Thanks.)

I want Miles x Bashir to be cannon so bad.

Miles x Bashir is canon. It’s just the exact details that are left to the imagination.

That is so speciesist that i’m reporting you to Humanoid Resources.

I miss that department before it was just Odo disguised as the table.

Bashir sighs with relief that nobody’s caught on

He’s just fascinated with frontier medicine!
