Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM “search” as the future. “Search” inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.

Such a supportive wife

Probably more than you think, remember we never actually saw the full interior of the Ent-D’s main shuttle bay. It’s massive.

Excelsior class? Why in God’s name would you want that bucket of bolts?

feel somewhat obligated to love the Constitution

I love the design of golden age scifi and I love how the constitution class is like the perfect bridge between sleek atomic era and whatever you want to call the more detailed aesthetic in the 70s.

Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but I have always been unusually impressed with the creative design of the D’Kora class:

If I tried that with DS9 I would be glued to the screen within the first ten minutes.

Also quite fond of pre-Burn Discovery’s “retro-futuristic Art Deco” style.

Continuously steering a conversation away from the big important facts and towards irrelevant details is called “flooding the zone with shit” which yes, is a type of disinformation campaign.

And it only works if regular people take the bait.

Since I first learned about Linux I have never envisioned a future where Linux didn’t eventually take over essentially all operating system spaces and I still don’t. The question is how long will it take to get there.

Signal is what you’re looking for

It’s not a company it’s a nonprofit foundation. And they’ve been audited many times by independent auditors.

you agree it’s a distraction but continue to bring it up 🤔

The fact that anyone is even debating the (completely irrelevant) first aid kit means the disinformation campaign is working.

I’m saying by focusing on the irrelevant first aid kit you are playing into the hands of those who seek to discourage the use of private messaging apps.

I have no evidence to support anything other than that being a great idea
