You’re a top tier OC maker.

I’ll look into that. Thanks.

I swear Ubuntu does something - I have run different distros in equally-specced VMs, some with GNOME, and Ubuntu by far performs the worse. Sometimes, it’ll actually take 30 seconds to respond to a simple button click.

When I have to test builds with what’s in Ubuntu repos, I usually avoid using Ubuntu directly and opt for a derivative like PopOS (which has unfortunately fallen behind on getting to Ubuntu 24.04).

Firmly agree with you on that.

I would agree calling it a web crawler is inaccurate, but disagree with the reasoning; I think it's more in the sense that calling an LLM a web crawler is akin to calling a search index a web crawler; in other words, an LLM could be considered a weird version of a search index.

This might be right. I mean, Migleemo also doesn’t wear a standard uniform:

Ubuntu doesn’t deserve Uhura. 🤣

But in all seriousness, guess I’m a Denobluan now, minus the polyamory.

I view satirical voice impression and speech synthesis of a real person as two different ethical issues entirely.

I find impressions intended for satire fall within the real of the first amendment, while the latter can be an unwelcome appropriation of identity when done wrong.

I mean, the creator of Dilbert is basically option 2 incarnate in the most terrifying way possible, so it makes sense.

It was actually an attempt to use indirect characterization - by using "lasers" instead of "phasers", it shows that the demographic I am describing only pays attention to the superficial aesthetic of Star Trek rather than its meaning or even common technical terms in the show.

But still, I derive quite a bit of humor from your comment.

There’s 2 kinds of people in Trek fandom:

  1. The sane people who know Berman sucks and her outfit is a known unfortunate symptom - we just pretend Seven had real clothes.
  2. “I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.
