In the 24th century, I mean. It wouldn't have been 1980s USSR-style Communist at any rate.

I don't know if Russia or indeed all of Earth was communist when Worf grew up, but the whole Klingon Empire was widely recognized by people of the 20th century as resembling the Soviet Union, which was nominally communist during the Cold War era of original Trek. Memory Alpha even mentions it. Mostly just because they were "the bad guys" I suppose.
For a minute there I forgot Communist Himbo was even in DS9. I should probably re-watch it after I"m done with Voyager, it's been a good 20 years.
I am searching with /x
On most systems these days you can use regular expressions there. If /-x isn't good enough try /-x[ ,] or whatever.
It's the easy way to spend 2% of GDP on the military: Lower the GDP.
Windows was but a brief interlude between AmigaOS and Linux.
Support for it already seems to be there in wine, so rather than wait for 6.11 I think I'll just go ahead and apply the patches myself to 6.10-rc7 and see if it makes any difference to the one game I regularly play. If my computer blows up as a result I'll let y'all know.
(Result: None. The versions of wine I have probably need patching or at least configuring in order to use it. In the course of briefly considering trying to work out how to do that, I discovered that the expected improvements are not nearly as dramatic as were suggested compared to what's already most often done in proton (fsync). The main benefit for most of us will be better compatibility, not huge performance gains. Well at least my kernel is ready for it.)
More recently, from Phoronix:
While the initial driver patches were merged to char/misc and now in turn within Linux 6.10 Git, much of the enablement work wasn't accepted in time. Thus for Linux 6.10 the new NTSYNC driver is marked as "broken", so it won't even be built for normal kernel builds.
Hopefully for Linux 6.11 or sometime soon the rest of the NTSYNC patches are upstreamed for yielding this massive boost to Windows games on Linux.
PET-enabled home routing
Oh, apparently it's a "5G" thing. Perhaps everyone in Europe knows that already. Apparently the design of the new network is complicated enough that they've accidentally left room for just a little bit of user privacy. Europol claims to have become dependent on the situation where people using mobile phones have none at all.
spotted the new ad format during their commute
Are people really using google maps during their regular commute now?

Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be too popular. Not even in debian.
It was funded through a deal with an ad company. It did not become an ad company itself until much more recently. jwz had a succinct and memorable response to the the absurd idea that really it's been ad-funded all along and that this makes things okay:
