  • Also, heir to the holy rings of Betazed.

  • They’re basically the same character.

  • “This is the bridge of the Titan, Mr. Boimler. We’ve got all the time in the quadrant for jazz.”

  • Borg Backup, whenever I feel like it - usually monthly.

  • The headline does not do the story justice - makes it sound like the judge didn’t respect Data’s hypothetical rights, when she in fact acknowledged them.

    I overall agree with the ruling.

  • On an unrelated note:

    Why do you have Teddy Ruxpin as your desktop background, and more importantly, why do I feel such reverence for it as a very non-stereotypical background for a Linux user?

  • For some reason, I have the impulse to put this in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkinoUGmKZ4

    (Phish wanted Frakes to do a horn part for one of their tracks, but his skills were not up to the task. To honor the attempt, they made this track out of a bunch of the failed takes.)

  • I honestly forgot about that. It's been a while since I've watched Orville, but remembering that, I agree.

  • I have respect for how the Orville turned both Isaac and Gordon around from the most annoying characters on the show to some of the best.

  • I use Debian with XFCE, but while I love XFCE, it might not be everyone’s thing. If you do give it a try, make sure to use Whisker Menu instead of the default app menu, and also set keyboard mappings to your liking.

    P.S: Ubuntu’s pushing for Snaps, not Flatpaks. Flatpaks are actually pretty good - makes it really easy to install a newer software version when the one in Debian repos doesn’t suffice.

    Also, it’s not only Ubuntu pushing for Wayland - most distros or DEs either have it working or are working towards it (there are some exceptions). XFCE is still on xorg, but working on Wayland. The problem is xorg is on life support and not getting a lot of new features.

  • Currently running a campaign on 1st edition. May look into this.

  • I’lll taaaeek yoooo hooooooooeeeem, AGAAAAAAIN KATHLEEN!

  • I feel like they could have done several things to make them more realistic.

    One option might have been instead making it a form of matterless telepathic project, with a bunch of the crew having to awkwardly walk inside these projections.

    Another option might have been to make it so the Doopler behaves sort of like a replicator and uses materials from its environment to build clones. At first, the Cerritos life support systems would be able to keep up, but then, instead of the risk of being crushed, it could have instead been the risk of oxygen depletion or something as life support struggles to keep up. Granted, that would have made beaming the Doopler emissary onto the star base even more sadistic than it already was, so you'd have to find a way to revise them.

  • I feel like the Pandronians aren’t as severe - maybe an 8. You could explain the floating in part as a naturally occurring anti-gravity system (which does canonically exist artificially).

    I might be biased, though, in kn my Star Trek Adventures campaign, I have a Pandronian as my chief medical officer.

  • I feel like as this goes on, this list just devolves into random Star Trek species.

    I mean, the whole point of the Antedians and Breen is they’re total meme species.

    I personally feel like one of the ACTUAL worst species in the franchise is LD’s Dooplers. While overall, the eponymous episode is great, probably one of the series bests, the Dooplers felt out of place. Usually, Lower Decks has a standard of doing things that are both ridiculous and plausible by Star Trek logic - in other words, the cartoon dial is usually set at 6 or 7 (unless it’s a hallucination), but I feel like the Dooplers were a jarring turn to a 10.
