  • Fun fact, "Riker" is actually pronounced fee-yet-ee

  • Uhh... why did you just paste the comments from the video without the answers?

  • Good point, perhaps "beginner's distro" is not the best term because not everyone wants to put a ton of attention into their operating system!

  • Sometimes FOSS communities are so very uptight, we should relax a bit.

    Now THIS is funny

  • I really like Zorin as a beginner's distro. It's based on Ubuntu so most everything is designed to work with it without learning a whole new command line tool, but it doesn't try to hide the Linuxey stuff and mimic windows. On top of that it's just very polished.

  • it is stated that Starfleet officers swear

  • How much energy is used by our current financial system?

    Orders of magnitude less than Bitcoin requires, which is the criticism.

  • A better comparison would be energy utilized per user, in which case the energy requirements for Bitcoin are miles and miles ahead of what the average person produces using a computer in the same amount of time. Even a gamer, playing 4k 120fps ray traced games 12 hours a day would use a fraction of the energy of someone mining bitcoin.

  • I had a similar thought. So far Disco (unlike in "The Chase") has implied that the progenitors seeded all life. I have a feeling it's meant to throw us off the trail a bit.

  • I remember when new uniform variants meant it was a new series (or at least a new admiral).

  • Online accounts works seamlessly with Google Drive but yet not for OneDrive.

    It also is not the same thing as "Drive Sync" on Windows that mirrors local files.

  • 2008 is not "damn old" in terms of filesystems.

  • Impossible to not read in his voice

  • Yeah totally. I think the glibness is coming from a place of experience. Like he knows Culber will get there eventually, but there are no words that will help. Like the whole trying to tell a queer teenager "it gets better" thing.

  • I liked that at no point Burhnam spoke down to the town leader dude by going "actually yes we are gods now open the door I'll explain later" even though in the short-term it would have been faster.

  • idk Stamets seemed pretty receptive and understanding, I think Culber was moreso unsure because he sees himself as a "man with all the answers" and didn't like the vulnerability that came with showing his partner a side that's unsure and not confident. That's how it seemed to me at least.

  • Culber's newfound spirituality arc felt kinda shoehorned in as an odd piece of character development in a show that's about to end. I actually initially really enjoyed that he felt weird about hosting a Trill spirit (Trek has a habit of stuff getting right back to normal after a traumatic experience) but it's dragged on without a clear direction as to what it means. I have to assume it will become relevant to the main plot at some point. Discovery surely wouldn't leave weird thread dangling, right? Right?

    The whole idea of a humanoid habitat built around a semi-functioning weather control network was cool. Though I would have loved to have seen the dead civilization around the tower they eventually go to!
