Is Morls like Coral?
MORLS
CORAL!!!!
But will stardate 48315.6 be the year of the Linux desktop
Probably still deciding X vs Wayland.
There's nothing to decide. Wayland is the way of the future, and Enterprise will definitively upgrade to it some time before sd. 48681, as soon as they get some free time to do it!
This is too real… 😆
Mate, even *Debian* moved to Wayland as default in *2019.*
The debate between X and Wayland is over
All it took were 20 years of development.
Even with your exaggeration I fail to see your point. We use all kinds of software with early beginnings. Like the Linux kernel...
It’s just a dig at the colorful history of its development. Don’t read too much into it.
And yet the project lives 😂.
If you mean X, that "lives" there deserve some quotes.
Sure, I guess being brain-dead and on life support technically counts as being alive.
Red Shirt Enterprise Linux
I just noticed... He had the solution to that wraith possession all the time, he just refused to use it.
"One of these days, Keiko...straight to the buffer."
I have no idea why I put so much work into this.
Edit: Damn it, I'm making this it's own post because I'm proud of it...
"Keiko, I know you love Linux. But the Cardassians actually ported SELinux onto Slackware. Onto Slackware! The whole station is just a pile of unzipped files compiled with randomized build flags and whatever compiler they had lying around, then secured in a manner designed exclusively to create suffering!"
Can't believe it's 48291.9 and Ubuntu is still pushing Snaps smh
sudo mv /home/keiko /dev/patternbufferLOL! I almost typed out something very similar.
Miles' signature move is putting people in the pattern buffer.
Why this, instead of the classic
rm -rf? Curious to learnThat would also work just fine, but I thought it was slightly funnier to specify that he would transport Keiko into null space for her joke
🧐
Riker laughed at the joke. That's why he gets to spend Valentines Day with the O'Brien family and Miles is stuck working.
Holy shit this meme format. Can we get a blank one of this? Thanks!
I stole this meme from elsewhere, but I was able to find the template!
Here ya go:
Seriously, the facial expressions here are *chef’s kiss* perfect
Morls?
Walking dad meme reference
We can only imagine a fraction of what must be running through his head at that point...
You know, even with the super advanced tech of Star Trek, I still think I'd want a bit more between me and death than an energy barrier. I don't trust technology. I like redundancy.
I get the same feeling when I see SpaceX's Starship do the "flip and burn" landing maneuver.
The redundancy is the door.
But yeah, they must have tremendous amounts of faith of the heart to have the control console for that way out in the open instead of a separate control room.
They leave that thing open when they don't need to all the time, though.
I mean it's all
digitalcrystals and voice overrides right? Could have one console up close on the floor and a more secure one back in the corner and control from the bridge.Best case the energy barrier is also the main thing keeping the doors open so when it fails that's what triggers them to slam closed.
The energy barrier is the redundancy! Without it, the transporter is just a replicator 😉
Isn't the enterprise entirely held by those energy fields?
It gets new holes all the time anyway.
Yes and no I would guess. Yes at a lower energy level like stasis / inertia / structure integrity buffers, plus the really super duper ones can deploy at a moment's notice in case of an emergency, though it would be more efficient to not have those particular ones on 100% of the time.
Pretty much. A real structure would squish like a partially deflated balloon under the kinds of accelerations we see on Star Trek.
It's like only using a force field for the brig instead of bars AND a force field. Dumb.
The enterprise runs on PonyOS because it's magical.
Okay, I'm not down with the Brony hate, but that is crossing a line!
And the wine is made of synthohol.
Ironically, he then pushed her out of a window on the enterprise ; into space : by compiling from source.
*Apple Inc.™ has joined the chat*
Is it sacrilegious to say that the Enterprise D exterior looks like something designed by Apple?
What Apple was making when TNG came out:

Wow, the Enterprise systemD
And time, hostname, power settings...
Okay I see your outside, and raise you a beige and black bridge:-)
Edit: oh, I missed "exterior", but even there...:
The design influence goes in the other direction.
Interior is more like:
I would guess that like flip-up cellphones followed communicators, and smartphones perhaps followed tricorders, and tablets definitely followed... ah, tablets:-), people saw Star Trek and then built those things that looked so damn cool. Life imitates art, or something.
I'm going to say yes. The Kelvin-verse 1701, on the other hand...
It does look gorgeous tho. People slight the kelvinverse all the time but the ships are beautiful
Apple is not linux, it's using BSD as it's bones, but thankfully can leverage GNU binaries like linux
Qa’pla!
Morls must suffer
Is LCARS a joke to you?
