I think so, just a relatively famous copypasta.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?English
2·12 days agoGhosts, no way.
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

Dont cheap out on anything that keeps you off the ground. (Tires, shoes, mattress etc)
I’m not saying you have to do it but you can get the standard Microsoft fonts on Linux, they are just an extra download.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•35 Years Ago, Star Trek Retroactively Created New Canon, And No One NoticedEnglish
0·1 month agoI 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.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICEEnglish
621·1 month agoRemember 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.
That’s what I think makes Star Trek unique. There are tons of other space laser shows, and lots of other moralistic scifi. What I like about Trek is that unless they are possessed by aliens, the crew of XYZ Starship are all incredibly competent at their jobs. And when they start acting stupid, 6 other crew members are immediately on it to pick up the slack.
The dream of Star Trek is working at a job where everyone you work with is ultra-qualified and hardworking. At least to me.
