SNW is decent. S2 E2 is an especially strong episode.
That's nuts. I was just up in LA a couple of days ago to see They Might Be Giants. Stopped by the TOS cast signatures in the concrete in the walk of fame.
I'll have to see if I can get that in next time, although it's a bigger detour than simply jealously checking out the Micro Center in Tustin, which we have had nothing like back where I live since Fry's Electronics shuttered (and frankly, Fry's staff never seemed so nice).
It’s always a pleasure when Trek shark jumps and plops in a historical figure in an implausible way.
That’s half of what made the Amelia Earhart episode of VOY so fun. It’ll be really funny if we ever find out what actually happened to her.
I feel like the first five episodes will be “I’m crying because I dropped a cookie”, and then suddenly the Breen or something blow up half the Federation and crap gets real.
I feel like the premise would be much more interesting if we substitute a planet for growing up in a starship and what the heck the children do in a red alert.
OP explicitly said Mint isn’t what they’re looking for.
I think my very first exposure to Linux was when I got a Pi 3 for Christmas when I was 10; by next year, I was trying out Ubuntu 16.04 in a VM.
However, it took several years before I began daily-driving; I had thrown it on an old laptop during my sophomore year of high school that I mostly used from the couch.
I then did a “test install” of Debian Testing on my main desktop pater that year, which just became what I used every day and quickly just became my main operating system.
I soon installed it on everything else I owned and haven’t looked back.
Usually, I hate reposts of very common Trek memes, but Far Side’s just such a classic that I can’t help but love it.
Exciting, as always. I just hope they can eventually add CMYK support.
I get color spaces are hard and there are workarounds involving Scribus, but I wonder if one could just have a custom SVG attribute that would be ignored by a standard SVG renderer (we’d have a similar placeholder RGB color, which we maybe would allow to be manually modified) and read by Inkscape when rendering to a format for print like PDF.
I find that a bit funny - most people find it the other way around. In fact, coming from Illustrator, I found Inkscape easier in a lot of ways.
I think 3.0 is big just for finally adding some non-destructive editing.
I feel like 3.0 was a big step - we finally got non-destructive editing on most filters.
Still, the resize GUI drives me nuts, and Resynthesizer should just be a brush in the default install at this point, perhaps with greater optimization.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

I'm usually not one to beat a dead ~~Reman~~ ~~horse~~ being, but I had to point this one out.
As it turns out, besides also playing background characters in every episode Quimp appeared in, Tom Kenny also played Mariner's ex Malvus in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers", D'Onni in "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", the Ferengi antagonists of "Mugato Gumato", and several background characters in each of those episodes.

In response to a meme I saw comparing Nog and Wesley.

In the pilot, they depict Mojave, California as being very terraformed from a desert to a lush parkland.
However, I find this a bit antiquated... this seems to be very much rooted in an atomic age scientific idealism that thought of how we could make the world work for us and bring it to more western standards of natural beauty.
I think this is in conflict with the TNG solar punk aesthetic and the general respect for nature implied by the Prime Directive - notice how there's no desert bushes in sight as if they wiped them out. This seems to be insane damage to the ecosystem.
I wonder if they'll ever revisit Mojavo on-screen, and whether they'll retcon this so that Mojave is a gorgeous desert town where they solved the problems of drought and extreme heat plaguing the southwestern US while working in tandem with and even boosting the local wildlife, rather than just razing everything and plastering grass and non-native trees over it.
I'd bet we probably only have 3 seasons for it to happen, considering that 5 seasons has tended to be the length of most recent Trek shows (except poor old Prodigy). The only thing giving me hope is that SNW seems to be a decently successful series.
To be fair, the Romulans only showed up because this was an alternate timeline version of a TOS episode.
