    But will stardate 48315.6 be the year of the Linux desktop

        There’s nothing to decide. Wayland is the way of the future, and Enterprise will definitively upgrade to it some time before sd. 48681, as soon as they get some free time to do it!

        Mate, even Debian moved to Wayland as default in 2019.

        The debate between X and Wayland is over

            Even with your exaggeration I fail to see your point. We use all kinds of software with early beginnings. Like the Linux kernel…

            If you mean X, that “lives” there deserve some quotes.

            Sure, I guess being brain-dead and on life support technically counts as being alive.

        I have no idea why I put so much work into this.

    “Keiko, I know you love Linux. But the Cardassians actually ported SELinux onto Slackware. Onto Slackware! The whole station is just a pile of unzipped files compiled with randomized build flags and whatever compiler they had lying around, then secured in a manner designed exclusively to create suffering!”

          Miles’ signature move is putting people in the pattern buffer.

        That would also work just fine, but I thought it was slightly funnier to specify that he would transport Keiko into null space for her joke

    Riker laughed at the joke. That’s why he gets to spend Valentines Day with the O’Brien family and Miles is stuck working.

      You know, even with the super advanced tech of Star Trek, I still think I’d want a bit more between me and death than an energy barrier. I don’t trust technology. I like redundancy.

      I get the same feeling when I see SpaceX’s Starship do the “flip and burn” landing maneuver.

        The redundancy is the door.

        But yeah, they must have tremendous amounts of faith of the heart to have the control console for that way out in the open instead of a separate control room.

          I mean it’s all digital crystals and voice overrides right? Could have one console up close on the floor and a more secure one back in the corner and control from the bridge.

          Best case the energy barrier is also the main thing keeping the doors open so when it fails that’s what triggers them to slam closed.

        The energy barrier is the redundancy! Without it, the transporter is just a replicator 😉

        Isn’t the enterprise entirely held by those energy fields?

        It gets new holes all the time anyway.

          Pretty much. A real structure would squish like a partially deflated balloon under the kinds of accelerations we see on Star Trek.

          Yes and no I would guess. Yes at a lower energy level like stasis / inertia / structure integrity buffers, plus the really super duper ones can deploy at a moment’s notice in case of an emergency, though it would be more efficient to not have those particular ones on 100% of the time.

        It’s like only using a force field for the brig instead of bars AND a force field. Dumb.

    Ironically, he then pushed her out of a window on the enterprise ; into space : by compiling from source.
