I mean, I’m pretty sure it says at the end of the episode the Doctor decided to try and find what ended up happening to Voyager after he set the record straight.
Actually, the fact Boimler has one suggests they made an iteration for the early 2380s uniform, meaning they kept making them for a while.
What I meant is technically, in the time frame of Academy, assuming we can take their word that this is the "normal" Doctor, the VOY:Living Witness Doctor should still be alive as well.
Depending on how you count it, both will be the same age. It would be incredibly funny if both versions of the Doctor met.
Both of them.
Actually, imagine a William Boimler moment between Alpha Quadrant Doctor and Delta Copy Doctor.
I spent 4-6 hours the other day trying to figure out the equivalent of Hello World for a MediaWiki parser function extension.
In theory, they have a quick start guide, but that documentation has so many errors, and I spent ages jumping between PHP and a JSON configuration file I barely understood.
At least it's working now. Now time to figure out how the heck to properly interact with the MediaWiki database!
(Perhaps once I'm a bit more confident in MediaWiki development, I'll see if I can tidy up some that documentation.)
Yeh. They really did C++ unnecessarily dirty.
I'd take a well-maintained native package for my distro over a Flatpak, but sometimes, a Flatpak is just the the easiest way to get the latest version of an application working on Debian without too much tinkering - not always no tinkering, but better than nothing.
This is especially true of GIMP - Flatpak GIMP + Resynthesizer feels like the easiest way to experience GIMP these days. Same with OBS - although I have to weather the Flatpak directory structure, plugins otherwise feel easier to get working than the native package. The bundled runtimes are somewhat annoying, but I'm also not exactly hurting for storage at the moment - I could probaby do to put more of my 2 TB main SSD to use.
I usually just manage Flatpaks from the terminal, though I often have to refresh myself on application URLs. I somewhat wish one could set nicknames so they need not remember the full name.
A good one. I’ve also made an attempt before with this during the Patrick Starship Enterprise fiasco/masterpiece:
I should do one without SpongeQuimp, though.
And that is still largely true - I’m still running XFCE with xorg on Debian, and I think the only issue I’ve had was Waydroid.
Will there come a day where what you say is true? Yes.
However, right now, a more apt example to convey your point is systemd; that’s true for most distros with a lot of community support. Even then, its hold isn’t absolute - Alpine seems like the most livable non-systemd distro, though I could be wrong.
As I’ve commented elsewhere on this post and others have said, this is a change that affects pretty much no one. I didn’t even know MBR (legacy BIOS) partition tables on UEFI boot was possible, honestly.
By no longer putting in the effort to maintain this bit that no one uses, work can be put to something someone uses.
Also, with Linux, specific distros can get encrapified (kind of happened to Ubuntu), but as others have said, there’s usually always another distro to jump to at worst.
For those panicking about it, this is not something you need to worry about. Here’s what this actually does:
Enforce the use of GPT partition tables for all UEFI-based Fedora installations for x86 architecture. This removes support for installing Fedora in UEFI mode on MBR-partitioned disks on x86 systems
You probably have already been using GPT on your UEFI system since you had a UEFI system. Even if you somehow were using MBR, this probably;
- Won’t break existing installations, as it’s merely support for installs of this type
- Would not be a problem even if somehow the broke existing installs, as it’s not difficult to convert MBR to GPT.

Do you have any TMBG songs where you like another variant over the album version?
(startrek.website)
I like both "Maine" and "Louisiana". "Maine" has John's classic unreliable, evil narrator, while "Louisiana" just feels like a fun take on a hostage situation.
"The Songs of the 50 States" is also dear in my heart as it gets gradually crazier.
Here’s a bigger bugbear (than the Vulcan question): how does it all work in Ferengi society?
I’ll split order my post by my pre-Rom and post-Rom thoughts.
Pre-Rom:
- Gay (not Lesbian) Ferengi are probably a normal thing.
- Based on DS9 “Profits and Lace” and Nilva’s reaction to the transitioned Quark, it might be possible that male to female transition, while considered very weird, would be considered fine if you make a sufficiently good female by Ferengi standards, if you know what I mean.
- Conversely, female to male transition probably wouldn’t be accepted, based on the reaction to Pel, although Pel didn’t necessarily actually change her gender identity or get her lobes surgically enlarged. It may be possible that some trans Ferengi existed and simply hid that they weren’t cis, although it’d be more difficult considering the mobility limitations on females. There were probably surgeons on the planet who were like “If you’ve got the Latinum, I’ll totally do it.”
- Overall, I think the sentiment would be, “If you’ve got the lobes and you’ve got the Latinum, I don’t care what you do.”
- For instance, if a non-binary Ferengi made lots of profit, they might not be totally respected, but at least not bothered as much.
Post-Rom:
- Lesbian Ferengi are probably legal but still frowned upon.
- Transitioning either way is probably easier, considering the shift in gender roles as seen by 2381 in Lower Decks.
- Generally, with the Federation membership bid, probably a lot more open but still rife with social issues.
Questions:
- Do Ferengi experience dysphoria when their ears are the wrong size? (Very possibly yes, considering the dysphoria humans can experience from other secondary sex characteristics.)
Do you have TMBG songs that you like but don’t necessarily want on your everything playlist?
I’d say “Love is Eternity” off Venue Songs is one for me. I enjoy it but simultaneously find it a bit sappy. It also brings up difficult emotions since my grandmother died this May.
I've often pondered about how Vulcans view gender and sexuality.
I think pre-Surak/logic, they may have demonstrated homophobia and transphobia, but modern Vulcan Society would probably be chill with it under the reasoning that discrimination would reduce a person's efficacy as a functional member of Vulcan Society. For instance, given a choice between allowing a person to contribute verses driving them to the brink of suicide, Vulcans would probably tend to lean towards the first option.
There could very well still be stigma (Vulcans are far from a perfect society; some may have views that it is illogical to have a romantic relationship without a child), but it's dampened by the logic from the previous paragraph.
There's also the Pon Farr to keep in mind. Not only would it be hard to fight a person in the Ponn Farr, but also you'd literally be killing them by trying to prevent expression of their orientation.

(Solved) A Minor Mystery: Can anyone identify where this image of DeForest Kelley pulling a rabbit out of a hat comes from?
(startrek.website)
I recently came across this meme. After researching, the original meme appears to be https://www.geeksandgamers.com/topic/star-trek-doctor-mccoy-memes/ in late 2020.
That leaves me with one question: Where is this frame of DeForest Kelley from? Looking through both my memories and a double-check in MemoryAlpha, I'm certain it's not from TOS. Is there someone here more familiar with DeForest Kelley's filmography or, alternatively, someone who actually has the time to start looking through DeForest Kelley films?
Do any of you guys listen to the band Cheekface? I like them a decent amount (not as much as TMBG, though).
I've always found lyrically, they have some of the same vibes as They Might Be Giants (if a bit more consistently dark), the vocals somewhat remind me of the Johns (in that it wouldn't necessarily have mainstream appeal, yet makes the song better), but the music itself is a bit different. (Funny enough, they did a cover of Ana Ng, though I'd say it is only okay.)
And this is why for the most part, I'll never run a browser extension that isn't FOSS. Certainly a perfect defense, but combined with just trying to use as few extensions as possible, it has worked for me.
I also get the feeling that Firefox usage per capita is higher around the fediverse - I certainly use it.
