You just described Worf like, a dozen times.

It was in second place because having to constantly go into Flatseal for permissions can get annoying.

Well, I was already sold on flatpaks, but now Flathub is going to be my main repo.

That depends on the timeline we’re talking about. Kelvin? Yes, mostly. He straightens out once he meets Old Spock and takes command of Enterprise. Mirror? Yes, absolutely - he was a man with nearly limitless power, and he could exercise that power however he damn well pleased. Prime? I don’t think so, no. He’s described as a walking stack of books, a studious and attentive officer, and he’s shown to be that way too. He beat the Kobayashi Maru through trickery and intelligence - he didn’t just sleep with a professor.

Now, I will borrow from the statement of one preacher who wrote in on “Plato’s Stepchildren”. Any red-blooded man who’s holding a woman looking that beautiful, if he doesn’t kiss her it’s almost a sin. I think Kirk is presented as an attractive man who’s in a culture and situation that leads to him encountering a lot of attractive women. We read it as womanizing, because in the real world, it probably would be. Frankly speaking, yes, Kirk is a reflection of Roddenberry’s own ‘free love’ beliefs. Look that up if you want to knock the aura off the Great Bird. But in the fiction, no, Prime Kirk was certainly promiscuous, but not a womanizer, and I feel there’s room to accept the difference. For the majority, the women he manipulated, canonically, he didn’t sleep with, and the women he slept with (or wanted to be with), he didn’t manipulate.

Miri is such a weird case. She’s simultaneously an underage girl and a developmentally challenged woman. Kirk knew without question that he was manipulating her, and that he was doing wrong by her. The challenge of the episode is determining whether he served the greater good by deceiving her and saving his crew - did the ends justify the means?

LLAP.

Never give up, never surrender!

Because it just works, and updates faster than apt.

I agree with the General’s response to Dallas’ refusal. She’s also professional enough that you can tell she goes nuts when she’s off-duty.

Does that make the shot from 8472 to Voyager her Big Bada-Boom?

I believe it. Trek is an amazing franchise, but it doesn’t really do jazz.

He’s more of a Swing Revival guy, I think.

i don’t know about about AI moderation, but I like mbin. I also like the fact that I can interact with the majority of the Fediverse in one account.

But did you become a tailor?

The best practice is to laugh in the face of copywrong and hold up a middle finger to the revenue class.

Both. Use YT & Spotify as discovery engines (along with Pandora, Jango, and Soma FM), but download your favorite tracks and self-host.

We’d be even better if we used nuclear in that.

No, a tree has value if it bears fruit or other produce (syrup).

Huh, so Odysee is going to be doing something like Invidious in addition to their own stuff?

Then… we only use the versions that work. And someone can fork from there.
