I have a cool background of just the station that I edited in GIMP to dither so it looks nice with Chicago95 (along with a similar Enterprise D for my second monitor), but I only use that on my desktop, as although I love Chicago95, unlike my desktop, this laptop needs to be low-frills manchine, so I can't afford theme-related glitches as much as I love theming. (Not "no-frills", however, as I did go through the extra trouble of a btrfs subvolume for home on a LUKS2 partition that auto-decrypts with Clevis)

This mirrored my though process when composing the screenshot! I almost covered up O'Brien's face with the terminal window, but then realized the guy had gone through enough suffering.
Meanwhile on the USS Voyager:
Tuvok and Chakatoy encounter each other in the hallway near Holodeck 1.
Tuvok: Commander, I am concerned about the Captain’s continuous holodeck usage. She has not exited the room for the past three hours, and I believe it may be inhibiting the effective operation of the ship.
Chakatoy: It’s been a rough week. I’m sure she’s just blowing off some steam.
Suddenly, they heard muffled noises through the holodeck door.
Tuvix: I have a right to live!
(Excessive machine gun noises)
Chakotay taps his combadge.
Chakotay: Doctor, can you come to holodeck 1? I think something’s wrong with the captain.
(No offense to Janeway. Just a fun caricature.)
Noooooo! Not another comic series I have to pick up each month on top of 22 and Defiant! It took all my mental energy to decide to wait for the Sons of Star Trek volume. Well, shaka to a third Mr. Lincoln.
I think I agree with this, just in case someone wanted to discuss a novel as well.
Seat 9. I’d say Picard and Chakotay would be pretty mellow and level-headed unless Chakotay’s feeling extra resentful about Picard’s handling of Marquis/Cardassian Neutral Zone stuff. It’s then insulated from some of the crazier pairs with level-headed duos, or at least balanced duos (e.g Raffi and Spock or Kira and Progeny). The exception might be Sisko and Kirk, who would either get along quite well or drive each other to the brink of insanity. Either way, (1 assassinated Romulan senator later) I can live with it. Though maybe after the first hour, I’ll have seat 12 to myself after Riker and Kelvin Kirk go to sick bay for competitive chair-sitting-related injuries…😏

Okie dokie!
I’m excited at the update. However, I am experiencing a small issue. I use the i386 theme. However, the color scheme (and nothing else, like fonts or borders) has reverted from its usual blue to the default dark mode colors. I tried clearing my browser data to see if that would clear things up, but Shaka when the walls fell. I don’t know if this is an upstream issue (which is my guess) or something else, as I am inexperienced with Lemmy infrastructure.
Otherwise, it’s all working fine. Thanks for your efforts, and glory to your house!
I watched the first few episodes and thought it was enjoyable, although anecdotally, I’ve heard it’s distinct from its comic forebear (which takes a darker, drier tone). Thus, I think I will probably read the comics after I have completed the series just so I esteem the two as separate entities.
I love how he’s more emotional over Spock dying than his own son.
Software-wise, part of it is my fault for imposing Debian Stable on myself, rather than choosing a newer distro. Hardware-wise, though, I do imagine that X220 is quite a bit easier to bust open.
In all fairness, though, besides a LUK2/Btrfs configuration that would have been annoying to do on any platform anyhow, this was probably the easiest Linux install I have ever done*. My previous main portable device was a first-gen Surface Go that (with the special linux-surface kernel) worked okay except for glitches surrounding sleep and wake that lead to lots of reboots. One day,, the initramfs got borked and I didn't use it frequently enough (as I had a work Chromebook I was forced to use and at home I could just use my desktop) to bother to chroot in and fix it. Server someday?
Eventually, I received my work Chromebook, an AMD Stoney Ridge, when I left and it was decommissioned, which I installed Linux on and then proceeded to compile a custom kernel just to get audio working. (I eventually tried to automate this in Gitlab CI for fun, but found more important things to do.)
I then tried an old Lenovo Yoga 710 15-IKB from circa 2016 I had sitting around, but it had a damaged digitizer that was getting to be a laceration hazard; it was literally cheaper to buy an entire working one on eBay than replace the wrong part. It also had a hardware defect where the camera would quit working until you gave the bezel a little pinch in the right spot. Thus, it mostly just sits around as a backup machine in case my Thinkpad were to suddenly explode, and maybe I'll put it to server duty in the near future.
Even my desktop was just a bit more effort to install, as it has been running Debian Testing since 2022 (my first daily driver Linux system) when Bookworm was still testing and before Debian started including non-free firmware in the installer by default, meaning I had to install several things to get it fully working. Tied with my desktop was a circa-2010 Fujitsu Lifebook that I threw Buster on that also needed Wi-Fi firmware.
I'll take one yeating of newer distribution kernel in comparison. 😂
