Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain… very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!
Huh, TIL about the Pliche: https://lowendmac.com/musings/pliche.shtml
In Excession it felt more like
The Culture is a race of intelligent starships that keeps humans as pets.
Does Valve ship a usable desktop distro?
What’s crazy to me is that Linux was out way in front of this. Put me in front of windows back in the aughts and say ‘go install a program’ and you had to google it, hope you clicked the right download link, install it, hope you didn’t get a virus. Ubuntu you just opened up synaptic and bam, there was a wealth of programs you could just install with a single click. It was mind-blowing, and way easier than what everyone else offered.
Baby Duck syndrome is real, and probably the reason I’m using Lubuntu; it superficially resembles the OSs I grew up using (Win9x/OS9/WinXP.) Windows, MacOS, Gnome, and Mate on the other hand relentlessly change their interfaces.
I’m sure they have sentimental/kitch value. At the very least, I’m sure a junk shop would take it off your hands.
I still don’t understand why IA picked a fight with publishers with the emergency library.
IA provides a really valuable service and they’re an incredibly juicy target. Going on anti-copyright crusades isn’t their mission.
It’s what I use for my home server and it’s great. You can even use VLC to stream music and stuff via samba.

I’m still on there because at the very least it’s a decent way to track the books I’ve read. I keep getting tempted to put my reviews on my blog instead ot Goodreads though.
For the tower defense enthusiast.
Did it look cool? Yeah it looked awesome. But was it ever going to be sustainable, budget-wise?
This guy’s tutorial videos are really good, at least for networking development: https://youtube.com/watch?v=w2p0ugw3afs
If students hide their phones instead of being distracted by them, isn’t that mission accomplished?
Lubuntu my beloved. Ubuntu enough for me to google myself out of anything but lightweight enough to make me feel good about what I’m spending cycles/battery on… and familiar enough that I don’t need to learn a whole new desktop paradigm when all I’m gonna do with the desktop gui is start an app anyway.
Desktop search is notoriously hard. For all nontrivial searching tasks on Mac and Linux I use fzf for filenames and ack for full text search.
The nice thing about Samba is that you can find clients for everything.
