I would also watch the most recent D&D movie with scenes of the Muppets playing the game spliced into it.

Do I get an edgy Theodore Logan riding shotgun in my head while I rebel?

I’ll be doing both with Linux as my primary and Win10 as a compatibility fallback.

Multiplayer games and ones that require Uplay or Origin (can’t remember their new names) have issues, but most single player stuff will run fine. You’ll typically have to run them via Wine or Proton, but Steam will handle that for you.

It says copyright 2019 in the corner.

You don’t really find those so much as make them.

There isn’t even a federal sales tax to replace, just state sales taxes.

“Well, it was made from vegans.”

Sisko working with Garak murdering Romulan Senator Vreenak was absolutely Section 31 material.

It’s also arguably something that Article 14, Section 31 is actually meant for. The Dominion was in the process of conquering the entire quadrant and dismantling the Federation government, among others, and they had the means and manpower to do so. That’s an extreme and existential threat. The thing Sloan tricked Bashir into doing with the Romulans, on the other hand, is just a regular Tuesday with the RSE as your neighbors and therefor not an extreme threat.

And DS9, which introduced the concept, concluded they were the bad guys and that S31 made things worse on the whole. The dark and gritty Trek that deconstructs the franchise as a whole and the Federation in particular still decided that Section 31 was a bad idea.

On top of that, every show after DS9 completely fails to understand that S31 was supposed to be a conspiracy, not an actual branch of Starfleet. The bit of the charter they cite to justify themselves requires some pretty significant mental gymnastics to make work, and it most certainly doesn’t literally sketch out a whole branch of Starfleet. It’s clearly there for things like when you have to violate time travel laws to pick up whales from the past to keep Earth from getting blown up, or when you have to direct a universe destroying anomaly to a specific universe so that your transporter duplicate can fix it before it destroys other universes. Those are extraordinary threats. The stuff S31 typically concerns itself with, like Romulans scheming against everyone, are ordinary threats that regulations already cover.

So, we should summon a Lovecraftian Horror?

Yes, but you have to shake the cow pretty vigorously.

I’ve actually seen some arguments that requiring ID for voting would be legal if it were easy to acquire and free. Of course, the politicians arguing for ID requirements also oppose any attempt to make ID free.

Backwards compatibility is actually a bit of a nightmare on Linux. Ironically it can be easier to get old windows software running on Linux than old Linux software.

I’ve been discovering this on Steam, actually. Square Enix released Linux versions of some games, like Life is Strange or the most recent Tomb Raider trilogy, but they’ll crash at the main menu if you try to run them. Similarly, the Shadowrun games from Harebrained Schemes assume that you have a configured .asoundsrc file in your home directory, which likely isn’t true if you’re on a distro that has migrated to pipewire. The .asoundsrc issue is easy to fix by just making the file yourself, but LIS and TR have to use the Windows versions via Proton to run at all.

It actually doesn’t fit the rules. That comma before “announces” is completely unnecessary and accomplishes nothing. The headline should read,

Pope Francis has died, the Vatican camerlengo announces

It might partially be that Worf’s suggestion to shoot first and ask questions later tends to be the solution.

Or that TOS was progressive for the '60s but we caught up and passed it.

Or that Berman, who ran the franchise for the '90s shows, was actually pretty conservative and progressive messages had to be almost snuck past him.

I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.

If the ping rate is irrelevant, then the good old sneakernet is a great way to transfer large amounts of data.

I thought they made that a subscription now.
