We put this on for movie night last night, and while I ended up engrossed in work, my SO tells me we should re-watch the first half (where we stopped) as she feels it’s strong work and would interest me. Will eventually follow up with my thoughts!

It’s hard to say. Personally, I think the Roddenberry formula was paramount to getting the feel of Star Trek right, but I think Trek is at its best when it’s a bit more self-aware. DS9 is probably my favorite series in all, but that’s because it took tropes defined in TNG (which is a seminal TV series, generally, to my mind) and tested them on a regular basis. I find that kind of departure very compelling.

This is a core feature, but you can go to the fallback mode. Logout, and then in the corner there’s an option to choose your environment, you can select gnome classic and use that instead.

I can understand the maintainer’s point, it seems like in essence, people want drag-and-drop positioning, which is a complexity I wouldn’t want to add either. Personally, having dabbled in some light extension-making recently, couldn’t find a way to set extension load-order or set one extension as depending on another, both of which seem to be basic features they need to add. Either of which could speak towards an answer to the basic problem of ‘things keep loading in random order’ which is kind of annoying. From there, it seems the maintainer is correct and one could just write an extension to add drag-and-drop ordering to the mix.

The i5 model is a better machine today than when I bought it like two years ago. Other than an iPad, I’m still not sure if there’s anything better on the market. I haven’t really used it for work, but I’ve played with Crostini enough to know that I could if I needed to.

My thoughts here are that this is an interesting example of cognitive dissonance. I guess the core issue isn’t if we agree the lunatic shouldn’t have a gun, but rather the philosophical question as to _if_ an authority is qualified to make that decision. I wonder how far this goes, if Libertarians believe that the state shouldn’t regulate guns whatsoever, should the state allow them inside prisons? Should violent ex-cons get their gun rights back with their freedom? I see some in this thread have argued that the military should have no weapon that a civilian can’t have, presumably this argument leads to personal nuke ownership. Just seems like a wantonly reckless policy.

I’d say your response should be somewhere between standing up for yourself, and dismissive of their point. I wouldn’t go into a big speech, but I would probably tell them to mind their own business then and that you don’t take your emotional cues from their insults.
