        I’ve just skipped around episodes in Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager but I love most of it.

        Homefront and Paradise Lost might be some of the best television I’ve ever seen. The fact that those episodes came out before 9/11 might be the craziest piece of foreshadowing I’ve ever seen.

        Little green men was my favorite though.

            It’s really not but I’ve been watching on Pluto because that’s what I have access to

            It’s absolutely a slip around series :) the plots you’re probably referring to really only kick in the last half of the series.

          The ferengi were a terrible idea done terribly… until DS9. They really find their stride

          Although I think they are best in the ep where quark sells weapons. Something about his cousin is peak Ferengi

            The rewrite of the Ferengi rules of accusation might also be my favorite episode 😂

          And In the Pale Moonlight. I hope you didn’t skip that one!

          Yeah, skipping around ST is reasonable. I skipped around Voyager a ton and still haven’t filled in the gaps TBH.

      I have considered not only figuring out how to setup Linux on my computer but also considered starting to watch Star Trek. It’s been almost a year since I’ve been on Lemmy and I haven’t caved yet… But my time may be coming soon…

    I started getting into Star Trek last week and I’m planning to use Linux as soon as I get a laptop of my own. Lemmy has finally consumed me.

    Seriously. That star Trek sub is like a cafeteria table of high school girls that are constantly giggling. I don’t understand it at all. I understand less why it’s so funny. It is fucking funny though.

      I don’t understand why a large part of adults of the word are so into that other space franchise, far in the future the time when characters have to fight with pink glowsticks for some reason.
      Now that’s funny.

    Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and the community here over Linux just annoys me. It is this all high and saving OS but why hasn’t it done so yet.

    Why does the community and answering questions about Linux suck. Linux great and I use it but people here act like they figured something out the rest of the world hasn’t but when the rest of the world tries to figure it out the response is, “good luck, figured it out, go back to Windows loser.” Just annoys the hell out of me.

    I have also never watched Star Trek but it seems good.

      The original series is all I’ve seen but its legit hilarious and definitely still worth watching. Many of its storylines have been revisited/retold over the decades, but the plots maintain their charm and originality. It’s campy as all hell, but the campy atmosphere of the show elevates it rather than aging it in a bad way.

      I too joined when the API shenanigans started. But…

      Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and …

      it’s good to know I’ve got a million and one people to ask questions when I finally make the switch. It’s inevitable. Honestly lack of free time (read home PC has not been prioritized) has been the only hurdle. I’ve dabbled over the years, just barely.

      I have an old Thinkpad tablet (X2___ or 4___ idk) that I want to switch over. It had a few offline duties w/ W7, but that’s all done now. I settled on OpenSUSE and made a live USB to start. Works on my desktop but haven’t gotten it to boot on the Thinkpad. I’ve found I need to go to the grub2 folder and can do so at the grub prompt (rescue, probably) but I still run into something about cannot validate cli…

      Yes, I’m chumming the waters while I’m stuck inline. Sorry to detour!

      I agree. Their solution for everything is FOSS and like… No sometimes people don’t want an alternative for what they’re talking about they want the actual thing they’re talking about

      I have been using Linux for 20 years now, as a main OS for at least 15. Linux isn’t perfect in any way and I have fucked up my system many times. But in those 20 years I maybe have felt to need to ask for help 2 or 3 times, because al the other 999 times with some searching I found someone with the same problem and a solution. When you ask for help for something that can be found with 3 minutes of searching I totally understand people don’t feel the need to help you out.

      Its the same kind if vibe as when you hang out with certain Jazz musicians / fans and they start discussing chord substitutions, extensions, etc.

        I should add that while I’m not specifically a “Jazz Musician”, I play piano , and utilise substitutions, extensions etc. :)
