  • I think so, just a relatively famous copypasta.

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux

  • I would say that a war like that suddenly coming up isn't that insane. In the real world I think about Desert Storm.

    Short armed conflict, lots of Americans and Iraqis died. Did it to fight a dictatorship. But 10 years later by it wasn't a thing that just came up every day on the news. (Iraq 2 notwithstanding that suddenly made it all the more relevant). But my point is that there was a war in the 90s that affected a ton of people but after a while, it wasn't constantly in everyone's mind.

    Is it a big change, absolutely. But so were the Klingons makeup in The Motion Picture, and the Klingons being good guys.

    But if suddenly no women were allowed in starfleet or slavery was cool as long as its XYZ race, that would be a continuity change that affects the world not in a retconny way but in a way that fundamentally changes the kind of show that it is.

    If you want to make a sci fi show where Earth has been taken over by sexist slavers to tell a very compelling and gritty story about human nature, maybe dont make a Star Trek show.

  • I guess I'm not sure what the title is getting at.

    The article is about the first episode featuring the Cardassians and how they mention the Cardassian war that took place directly before the series currently in progress.

    Honestly the point of the article seems to be that changing canon is secondary to telling a really compelling sci-fi allegory story.

    A great way to not have to worry a lot about canon is to move far into the future or to go farther into the past.

    I don't really care if they introduce a new thing that wasn't mentioned before, I get more grouchy about them introducing stuff that directly contradicts really important stuff established in the show. Like "turns out the paradise on earth was bullshit all along" for instance.

  • YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICE

  • Remember kids, murder is against the law. So, if ICE tries to murder you like they did those 2 other people just say, "thats illegal".

    They will have no choice but to stop murdering you.
