Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

I had never thought about what the D designation and the size of the ship might be suggesting until I saw the title of this post. I can’t stop laughing, and will probably forever giggle every time TNG “comes up” in conversation.
Sheesh. Thank you. Going to have to digest this now…
Could you elucidate for those of us unaware of what you’re on about?
Also works for bad soon-to-be-mothers…
I object, your honor!
Truly the ultimate narcissist.
I dunno about “likeable,” but definitely insidiously believable.
Why do they need combs for a Ferengi? Is it the ear hair?

I don’t see what any of that has to do with my issues regarding the new model. Yeah, I’m interested in their OS and the hardware switches for better privacy control, but I’m not hardcore enough that I’ll ignore my other hardware preferences in order to have them.
I’m just not anywhere near important enough a person to need more protection than I already achieve via the official privacy options combined with a VPN blocking most of the more obnoxious stuff. The additional privacy they’re offering is “nice to have” for me, not a “must have.”
Oof! Was she checking up on his holodeck usage?
3·1 month agoHaven’t looked at it in ages, but last I knew the whole philosophy was to be as Windows-like as possible to make it easy for people to switch. I never went for it because they charge for more complete versions.
I don’t need cutting edge, but removable battery and headphone jack were big selling points of the original that they’ve abruptly yanked in favor of this. I’d only learned of them recently, and was planning to buy the original. Now I may get a Fairphone instead.

3·2 months agoThere are session manager extensions that will keep a saved list for you to go back to. This is the one I use.
But it’s impossible to know which, and then there are those that won’t be dead yet. For anything I really think is valuable, I use an extension that saves the page to a self-contained HTML file with all the resources packed in.
Besides, we both know I’ll likely never get back to those links…
Noob. Those are positively amateur numbers. Come back when you’re at least a couple orders of magnitude higher than that.
Yeah, but once you’ve gone there you can never go back…
