Am I old now?
  • My state has that as well, but you are still required to carry a physical license if you are driving, same with car insurance info on paper. It doesn't solve much of a problem since that is the case.

    I can pick my nose from inside my mouth, rule.
  • I haven't had a frenulum since infancy (believe it or not, from a near fatal teething incident) and have always been able to do this. I used to frak people out by making my tongue disappear while I was a kid.

  • courtroom eps are 🔥🔥🔥
  • This episode is by far my favorite for many reasons. It opposes the idea of people as property. It establishes Data as more than a quirky idea and firmly grounds him as a character. Also,something that I think is often avoided in discussions of this episode is that it shows Riker has an immense amount of loyalty and respect for Picard. He is willing to literally disassemble his friend in order to carry out his duty (even though it visibly upsets him). Even though a lot of the dialogue is poor (let's be honest here that is 90% of Trek), the overall writing is brilliant.

    Alternate YouTube link: https://youtu.be/-kd1ouKAAVs Quality on the video here is pretty fucking good. Took me a while to source it. If you don't get the joke, I'm sorry - it is kinda niche.

    A commentary about SNW, and Trek in general

    I've really liked all things Trek for my entire life. From the awkward action scenes, technobabble, the occasional courtroom drama, and the ability to deliver a clever plot (at around season 2.5), to the attempts to include all people into the community, the overall themes stand true and hold an important piece in my life.

    That being said, I've never been a "fan". You know, someone that really dedicates time, thought, and passion to something until I finally watched SNW. I've made the leap from someone that has always really liked Trek into someone that loves it,

    There are a few reasons for this. While some may see the writing as slightly campy, I feel that the execution was not only an homage but a better delivery of TOS. The acting is overall an A, the visuals are A+, and the writers really delivered on what I'd expect from Trek; off the wall scenarios that could only be carried through by a small dedicated crew.

    I don't really mean to write an essay here, but I guess this is a long way of saying that I've finally found my Trek. They're all valid. Whether you like the camp of TOS, the slow build of TNG, the continuing plot of DS9, the building tension of VOY, or even the theme song from ENT. It is entirely valid and love what you love.

    I'm glad to say that I have finally, after all this time, found the Trek for me. I hope you've found yours, because it can be life changing.

    The Joust [OC Edit]

    I'm sorry that this is YouTube - trying to get my own PeerTube instance up and running. There's just not great video hosting options out there (that I can pay for)

    I need help getting EverQuest running reliably

    I'm running nobara currently as my distro, but these issues persist after trying Pop!_OS and several other distros with help from forums etc. Be it pure WINE, Proton, or Lutris installs across multiple distros and drivers, the game will work perfectly for the first run. Afterwards, the game will immediately crash after character selection.

    I'm at an in-between level of experience with Linux, so I'm not inept but far from a guru. I suspect the issues might be caused by the recent half integration of DX11. As far as that goes, let me explain - this game is old and ran on DX9 up until 2023. I'm not sure if that weird hybrid combo kills compatibility or not.

    There is an intall that almost works here. It would be a lot of work to get this to work on my current Fedora based install vs. what it is meant for, but the install methods should be the same. The issue is that with that install textures are garbage and most are just jet black.

    I can provide specs etc. If there is some kind of known bug on Proton that will prevent me from launching on Steam that can be fixed with Protontrix please let me know.

    I know that I'm likely to be the only one to post about this issue here, ever, but I don't know a better place to ask than here! Also, the game is free on steam if someone can get it going correctly.

    I'm at a loss. I have to completely wipe an install to get it working again which is a pain because my UI gets reset.

    This was hard to make, and harder to post (especially at this hour when I know that none will see it). RIP, Dad.

    Holodecks are Fantastic [OC Edit]

    These videos are getting huge in size because I try for the best quality I can. Going forward, I'm not sure that any solution other than YouTube is going to work. If someone has a good and cheap answer - let me know.

    What is a good video host for the Fediverse/Lemmy?

    I really like to post OC edits, but there seems to be absolutely no great solution. I don’t have the storage space or good internet to self-host PeerTube, catbox.moe seems to be hit or miss, uploading huge video files to an instance is just rude, and YouTube tries to deny the privacy of the viewer and uploader at every turn. I’m willing to pay for a solution that will work across all apps and platforms. Oh, and imgur has a length limit (that’s weird)

    Hosting Issues [OC Edit]

    Alternate YouTube hosting: https://youtu.be/6FkRULn7nNI

    This has been a nightmare. Things that work for most don't work for some, and things that work for some almost work for others. Can't self host PeerTube because I don't have the space. If anyone has an answer that isn't YouTube PLEASE let me know. I'm willing to pay what I can. Also, if you're curious or annoyed - I need that 5 second buffer for YouTube to not scream copyrights at me. I hate that :(

    The USB [OC Edit]

    This took about a week to make. I hope you enjoy it! Also, this is a webm - if you can't see this, consider a different app/client. This would have been a 2gb gif. Special thanks to @ummthatguy@lemmy.world and @negativenull@lemm.ee for the encouraging comments in the past!

    If this isn't Trek related enough, let me know (I know it's kinda playing loose)
