"Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?"

- Lt. Cmdr Data, Star Trek: Generations

  • Gimp Heal Selection Tool - Resynthesizer

  • It’s solidly okay. I wish it were in brush form like Photoshop was, and I wish it were better-optimized; it’s written in Python and a bit slow. I think Photoshop GPU accelerates this.

    Still, usable for a lot of things.

  • TFW you're not concerned about Star Trek leaving Netflix

  • To be fair, I think there are more reasons to pay for Netflix than there are reasons to pay for Paramount+ that don’t rhyme with “Schmar Schmeck”.

    And honestly, I’m looking to just switch to a Blu Ray/DVD collection; with Lower Decks and Prodigy over, I might as well just have their series BluRays. Maybe I’ll come back for SNW seasons (and maybe SFA if worth it) so the show can get some ratings or whatever.

    As to avoid giving Paramount geezers cash, I’ll probably try to buy used from local businesses.

    For DS9 and VOY, though, I’ll probably just buy DVDs for plausible deniability and then torrent one of the many upscales. There’s supposedly a nifty project where someone’s using a Domesday duplicator to rip DS9 and VOY seasons’ laser discs with Domesday duplicator because the DVD transfers of those seasons are so horrible.

  • I have the absolute worst reason for dual booting Linux and Windows

  • Sounds like a freak accident rather than the fault of the VM.

    I literally use a GPU for passthrough on my Windows 10 (and macOS) VM; PCIe is a much more complex protocol and much easier to F up than USB.

    I’ve used my iPhone many times through Windows and been fine, as well as whole USB keyboards and mice (just simple ones); I think I might have even updated an iOS device once, though I can’t remember if I actually did. I’ve also used an iPod Nano 7th through an 11 LTSC VM before.

    I could see some things being a little finicky, but simply managing a Zune with a VM probably causes no issues. It’s probably been eons since it got a firmware upgrade anyway.

  • I have the absolute worst reason for dual booting Linux and Windows

  • That's just a VM running atop Docker container; convenient, perhaps, but a little misleading to users who don't understand how Docker works and might think it's better performance-wise than a VM.

  • Installed homebrew on wii

  • To be fair, I’ve heard Wii U isn’t particularly pleasant running Linux either. I’ve never run Linux on my homebrewed Wii U, but someone in my Linux Users Group brought theirs in once.

  • Didn't know that the wordle word list included mythical legends.

  • Not to be confused with that coward, the anti-quark:

  • There's only one stop on this route

  • The Q have a comparatively nice one stop by comparison:

  • Installed homebrew on wii

  • Honestly, it's just a search engine search away, a pretty well-covered thing.

    Here's this for starters: https://wii.hacks.guide/

    It's basically jailbreaking the console, after which you can run pretty much anything that the console has the power for, including the Linux kernel.

  • Is there desire for Capt. Una spin-off?

  • I don't think they're doing so much of a TOS reboot as a TOS continuation with some retconning and reusing some SNW sets and cast.

    I've heard it floated around that it would depict the start of Kirk's mission, which TOS didn't depict, showing the crew already relatively comfortable with the ship. Personally, I'd like them to something of a year 4/5 that takes place either during or after TAS. As I mention elsewhere in this thread, I think "Yesteryear" would be an awesome remake; it could be pulled off in one 50 minute episode (already double TAS length), but I think it would be awesome to extend it to a two parter.

  • Is there desire for Capt. Una spin-off?

  • Not sure I'd want a full TOS reboot, but I think a few more retcons wouldn't hurt so long as they're in the overall spirit of Trek.

    What I've mentioned before that I think would be interesting to see is a remake of the TAS episode Yesteryear. Most TAS stories are probably best left as such, or else they would lose their campy charm, but I think Yesteryear could benefit, especially from the dramatic storytelling recent live action Trek has focused on. We could get so much good Vulcan lore out of it, and I'd hope they could do awesome set and costume design.

    In my ideal episode, it's still weeks to months until Sarek takes in Burnham; I feel like otherwise, Spock wouldn't have to be going back in time to save himself.

  • Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.

  • To be fair, 5 seasons has become a miracle for any scripted television to attain, period. Heck, even 3 is lucky these days.

    Also, I have a feeling they’ve known 5 seasons was the length for a while and have written the ending in a way that allows them to end the show largely on their own terms.

  • Is musl libc still not suitable for workstations?

  • The GPU driver issue would really only be a problem for Nvidia stuff.

  • Commander Ransom totally wants to spot for the Koala

  • Ransom may be too dumb to understand it, but he is principled enough to accept and support it.

  • Opening Netflix tonight

  • When all else fails:

  • Opening Netflix tonight

  • s/tf/e/

  • Commander Ransom totally wants to spot for the Koala

  • “Oh, we don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads.”

    I love Lower Decks as a while, but I think this is the single best-written line in the entire show.

  • Milennium Salamander

  • Homestar(trek) Runner... It's dot com!

  • They Might Be Giants collaborated with them and released a new t-shirt in 2025, I think to commemorate the anniversary of their initial collaboration back in the mid 2000s.

  • No! Make it not so!

  • Either that, or OP amalgamated several occurrences in TNG…
