I'm guessing that other 0.7% is the Makefile.

In their normal state, yes. What I’m saying is in theory, if enough of one species were assimilated, could that be changed?

I've always thought about how many beings with one belief would the Borg need to assimilate to see a great effect. For instance, if the Borg assimilated trillions of Ferengi (however that happened), would the Borg start suddenly trying to seek out profit?

"We are the Borg. Your biological, technological, and financial distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is not profitable!"

What the heck! You’re totally right! I think I even found the photo they used right there in the Memory Alpha page.

Reminds me of how my SSDs (both literally brand new) kept spitting out error messages in smartctl. As it turned out, this was a smartctl bug and I was able to install the Debian backports version to get a version with the fix.

Also, you know the Borg are horrifying when they're even putting up a fight with Apollo.

I think for Dos Cerritos the B plot with Tendi carried the episode. I honestly felt like they missed the classic Lower Decks balance of seriousness and humor on the A plot and played it slightly too straight in a way that made it seem too much like a run-of-the mill multiverse episode. The two T’Lyns jokes were fun, though.

Shades of Green also did great with the Tendi plot, and the overthrow of capitalism part was enjoyable enough.

Now the big question is: Will Boimler single-handedly cause Starfleet to create a multiversal prime directive after that PADD makes him do something spectacularly wrong? 😈 (Though I guess based on PRO events, probably not.)

And the Tholian web!

Or as Worf once put it, “We don’t discuss that with outsiders.”

Yeh, I think it has to do with some CPU topology crap. I have it working pretty well, luckily - I once had an old Virtualbox VM with MacOS that I needed, and I was able to boot it in my Windows VM.

With Lightroom, you're right on that. Honestly, the state of FOSS image editors is a bit ridiculous, especially considering how good FOSS vector editors like Inkscape are these days compared to their commercial, proprietary counterparts.

I can see that. I nuked my Windows partition years ago, though. Honestly, if I find a software is jerk enough to block virtualization, I don't find it worth using.

TOTP 2FA Issues (startrek.website)
 

Salutations. After lurking around and reading posts for a few weeks, I have just created an account on this instance. Mostly, the experience has been good, but I am having one major issue: Shaka when the walls fell with two-factor authentication. When I press the button in my account settings, I receive the error couldnt_generate_totp. When looking in the Javascript console, I found the following occurred every time I pressed the button:

POST https://startrek.website/api/v3/user/totp/generate 400 (Bad Request)

I received a 404 when navigating to that URL. Is the API for generating TOTP keys not set up on this server? I am concerned about any count where I am unable to properly set up two-factor authentication, and I would be pleased if this difficulty could be rectified. Anyhow, glory to the houses of all involved in maintaining this server as an alternative bastion of Star Trek discussion on the internet.

 

Let's imagine that there is an Earth from an alternate timeline where the planet received alien interference in the late 20th century that makes humanity certain of alien life and warp drive (note: not warp-capable), with the early 21st century on technological par with the prime timeline's 21st century. In this early 21st century, a person accidentally make both a universe and temporal crossing into Earth in the prime timeline and the late 24th century.

Starfleet quickly locates this highly confused person. How would Starfleet handle the situation while abiding by the (Temporal) Prime Directive?

Personally, I would think given the exceptional circumstances, that Starfleet might given the person limited mobility on Earth and only Earth, and eventually allow them to live permanently in the prime timeline if they have exhausted the list of possible ways to return the person to their timeline. This is especially considering that the alternate Earth has already been interfered with, and Starfleet has no way to know the natural development of neither the alternate timeline nor its native earth.
