All of it? Even that one?

To me I didn't watch ST growing up. I started when I was at least a teenager, maybe early 20s, around 2012 or so probably. I started with TNG though, and my favorite is DS9, which started the year I was born. I consider it my ST, even though Enterprise is probably what should be considered my contemporary. For sure, TNG would be my parent's though, if they watched it.

No, you didn't. You just found the person who would call out how sad you are. I know it's easier to just say it was a joke, but we all know better. You're complaining about the wrong people.

This has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. Imagine being so entitled to insult people who are complaining, which is itself just you complaining. If they're "wine moms who need to speak to the manager" then how sad must you be? At least they're complaining to people with power. You're just complaining about people who are tired of this shit.

I think you need to do some self-reflection and try to understand why you're angry at these people. They aren't the ones who have harmed you. Find the real issues rather than your bullshit of being angry at "others."

Our laws don't say anything about being polite. The attorneys I've heard talk about the subject say to crack the window just enough to pass over your information and to not engage with the officers, besides telling them you're evoking your fifth amendment right to remain silent and not answering questions.

That's not a silly argument if your argument is about national security. For the exact same reason, China blocks almost all western apps. It gives a potential route for whatever nation is considered hostile to influence your population, and TikTok has actually activated this influence at least once directly. They tried to activate their users to protest congress from passing laws restricting them.

Basically, they have the ability to influence users, and they also have the will to do so as they've already shown. In what world eould they not be a national security threat? It's also really hard for me to accept this argument from a Chinese company when China has the great firewall to "protect" it'd citizens from outside influence.

You can argue that it is not to benefit the citizens and rather just the state, which is fair. You can't reasonably argue that the state has nothing to fear.

Yeah, it's honestly impressive how many times it's happened. I'd hope that they'd do better if they launched in a good state to start with, but I think failing allowed them to reprioritize to fix issues that were hurting the core, which probably wouldn't have been fixed if they did well and just added new things.

The purpose would be to make it so the act of ramming is what causes them damage. Sure, they could actively attack the Chinese vessels, but it'd be a lot easier to claim no fault if the Chinese ship runs into you and that causes it to be damaged/destroyed.

I think having some hollow tipped spikes under the water line that detach and leave an inlet pipe in the Chinese ship could be a good idea. Explosive charges could be another option, but at what point is that an active or passive effect?

Yeah, I just don't like it. I don't feel strongly, just not what I'd recommend.

No, it's a comic.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Ah, OK. Yeah. So probably what you're looking for is a "tiling window manager". I've never used one so I can't help, but that's the thing you probably want to search for. I've been tempted to try one because using just the keyboard to move windows where I want them seems very useful, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

As other people have said, you have to be carful with dual booting on the same drive with Windows. It doesn't play nice with others. To add on though, Linux can access your NTFS (or whatever) systems fine*. You can leave them as they are and access the same data on both systems, though Windows is not capable of reading most other filesystems.

*May require installing a package, but every distro I've tried could out of the box.
