It's not exactly R rated, but Gideon the Ninth (and its sequels) don't shy away from gore and raunchy language.

Well not that shocked.

Has your instance blocked hexbear? Because they do this a lot.

UNIX time uses a Julian calendar date as a reference, but is independent after that.

As for the 13 month calendar, it's about as nice as cloverleaf interchanges: appealing because it's symmetrical, terrible in practice. Having the days of the month always align to the same weekday means leap years would make things even worse because every 4 years the entire calendar shifts. And if you skip the leap day as a holiday then you just make calculating dates from an epoch like UNIX time even more convoluted.

They've been shitty for a long time, with a history of refusing RMA, damaging items during RMA, selling clearly damaged/used items as new, etc. This is just another turd on the pile.

You mean lines that some wall street asshole does off a sheet.

The number of users connecting their PC ~~forfeit~~ directly to the modem or purposefully disabling all protections because they're too lazy is higher than you think.

I like Summit. Don't like the permissions that Sync and Boost require. Connect is OK.

If it was really smart it would scan your butthole.

I'm thinking that with him no longer needing to control the pattern buffer in medbay and the mental/emotional toll of the war and his experience on the Enterprise, Dr. M'Benga is lining himself up for retirement. This includes him voluntarily letting other peers become the CMO over him, so that he can phase out his responsibilities without significant disturbance after he leaves.

Up until last year I would have said Ubuntu. It was qualitatively the best desktop choice when I started with it in the aughts, and is still one of the few distros that has a reasonable out of the box install option with LVM. But I recently tried a Silverblue variant and NixOS, and I like what I see. Once I'm comfortable enough I will switch, I'm tired of the ensnapification and the Pro nag screens.
