That’s just how the font is (it’s called Overseer) but that would be a neat change to make, and pretty simple.

Star Trek still has traditionalists and hobbyists that prepare food without replicators. Sisko’s father famously ran a Cajun restaurant in New Orleans. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone ran a fast food burger shop because “the fries just don’t crunch the same from a replicator” or something.

It also would be possible to have something like a replicator kiosk shop, which would be like fast food.

There are a few restaurants mentioned on the wiki, but they don’t distinguish between traditional preparation and replicator food (it includes Quark’s on the list). None of the space ones look like fast food though. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Restaurant

So that’s what happened.

The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.

TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I’ve seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.

Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cam with subtitles available.

I expect they mean the site google.com, because that’s been my experience. Whenever I get captcha’d there for using a VPN (which is getting more and more common), I always see the Maps image style captcha. Like 60% of the time it tells me I’m wrong anyway and I just give up.

They do indeed

With opnwrt you can do DNS hijacking, where you force redirect DNS requests for other servers to your own DNS server. This works as long as they aren’t encrypted (DNS over HTTPS or TLS), which most devices don’t use.

Sometimes you’re just not very hungry.

I almost did this for a different reason, people choose python because it has some pretty good web automation/scraping libraries to work with.

Yes, ProtonVPN still provides port forwarding. They randomly assign you a single port every time you connect, so you’ll have to update the settings in qB occasionally, but it’s manageable.

Correct, Backblaze is their own host and post on their blog often about their tech and processes. They’ve got a lot of good info on how they designed their server storage racks and stats on drive failures by brand etc

Auto injected context-aware ads are becoming increasingly common these days. Lots of podcast providers will use your IP or user information (if available) to select ads for your area or personal data and and they’ll splice it into your download. It almost always interrupts the flow of discussions but the ones I’ve heard are at least usually good enough to happen at the end of sentences and not mid sentence or mid word.

You are correct but many workers in the US (tech and otherwise) are only aware of unions as historical tools of organized crime/corruption, or are libertarian (which gets higher representation in tech circles) and believe the free market will provide for them and/or that unions excessively harm companies. There are likely other reasons but these are what I’ve heard from people I know.

These views are reinforced by corporate and libertarian (which is of course funded by corporate) propaganda.

There is a comfort mode setting for the ED rover that keeps your view level to the horizon while the rover moves around you.

Is there one trapped in the fireplace?

New people are born every day and still have the opportunity to see Trek for the first time.

Call it Tapestry

There were a couple questions about that here where the admin said they disabled it because they expected people to chat on Matrix instead. I imagine that’s easier to moderate etc but it would’ve definitely been more user friendly to have the built in one.

Much fun, thanks for starting it! I doubt I would’ve added much if you hadn’t opened with the delta.

This is the reference I was using for the Constitution class, feel free to add to it or make changes: https://canvas.toast.ooo/#x=104&y=593&scale=5.27&template=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.dribbble.com%2Fusers%2F7549%2Fscreenshots%2F2222860%2Fpixel-nc1701.png&ox=36&oy=551&tw=100&title=&convert=unconverted

If it’s not giving you a full URL to share for your own references, you can also just share the coordinates + image itself. For example mine is https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/7549/screenshots/2222860/pixel-nc1701.png at coords (36,551) and width of 100.

Side question, does Canvas have chat? I see it in settings but don’t see UI to use it anywhere.
