I never knew how bad at video games I was until my SO started watching me. That and discovering the game mode on my TV helped me improve dramatically. But in those moments where he’s frustrated, a little truth and levity might help

The origins of GNOME3 were rooted in duplicating the common old Mac OS X setup with the dock hidden on the side, and a hot corner for expose. In this way, it’s a damn good take on the first truly good modern desktop. I’d go as far as to say that GNOME 41 is the best workstation desktop there is.

Hardware compatibility largely comes down to your kernel version. The other major consideration is firmware, which some distros like Fedora can manage and update for you through tools like fwupdmgr, what firmwares are available largely depend on the package repos you are using. There’s also the ability to run some Windows WIFI drivers on Linux using ndiswrapper which can be useful if your wifi card doesn’t have native kernel support. Either way, it’s usually a good idea to look up your system on something like the Arch Wiki and check out compatibility and see if there are any changes you should make to improve compatibility.

As is often brought up, The Dominion thinks in terms of decades and centuries. In all likelihood, forcing a conflict immediately after contact is what saved The Federation. Otherwise, The Dominion would have had ample opportunity to prepare for a first strike.

My guess is Fedora is using a newer kernel that supports your hardware better. Would probably see the same gains in the other distros if you aligned the configurations.

We do a lot of interviews, and a lot of times HR haphazardly throws them on a calender despitethe fact that we may be off that day, or with so little warning we don’t even realize it’s happening until after the fact.

While it’s still not a good movie, Evil Dead 2 feels like it shows significant growth over Evil Dead 1. It’s still a bad movie, but not as bad as the first, making the original a bit more entertaining so it doesn’t get a lot of credit.

I have an XPS 7590 running Fedora 35 and it’s pretty solid. All the hardware works out of the box, except for the fingerprint scanner. Runs very quickly, is able to play games with Steam, WIFI works perfectly fine not sure where that critique came from. I too have a Bluetooth mouse, works just as you would expect.

I thought it wasn’t the Borg logo technically, but the logo the freed Borg that Lore came to control used to identify themselves. I can’t recall the Borg ever flying colors outside of that one context.

He was handling a prop under controlled conditions, he had every expectation that it was safe, just as the people who told him to do it did, and those people got in front of the barrel.

This whole thread is a joke, I simply do not believe that you guys don’t understand this concept.

I think the productive way to think of this is that the writers are just trying to use Star Trek as a backdrop set dressing. They have no interest in the history of the universe. I find this a bit disappointing personally, but me and 10 other people care about such things. They do write a few tie-in episodes, but I think in basically all cases you could classify them as homages to specific concepts or key episodes. The writers aren’t interested in deep lore knowledge, they don’t have it and it would be a slog to obtain it.

I’ve re-calibrated my expectations for Picard Season 2 and I think it could be great, it’s a sequel to the bookends of TNG from people who literally watched those two episodes and the Q one with the Narscicans. I think if you go in thinking they watched the Bell Riots and All Good Things then I think you’ll be OK.

Edit: I watched The Many Saints of Newark the other day, and that move is what I wanted in Star Trek. I understand now that MSON is only possible because it’s the same writer and he personally thought through the universe deeply. Maybe GOT sequels will scratch the itch, Star Trek can’t.

I found that, lately, nostalgia can open the flood gates. But emotional distress just isn’t one of my triggers. I don’t know why, it just doesn’t activate that part of my mind. When I’m upset my mind usually just races.

If Star Trek is worth the investment then so is SG-1, I came to SG-1 after several rewatches of DS9 and TNG and now regard SG-1 as at least as good if not the best of the three.

The biggest problem with a woman Bond is that it’s cheesy. But my understanding is that “James Bond” is a codename so it seems pretty doable in-universe.
