Finally, nothing but US politics and jean memes all the time!
Voyager runs Arch BTW.
Not really, of course. LCARS is based on Hannah Montana Linux.
Peace at last

The irony is that I’m using Voyager on Android. An LCARS skin would be great, and now I’m shocked there isn’t a Trek-themed Lemmy client.

I had’t thought of that, but it is kind of weird that no-one has gone all in with a ST themed Lemmy frontend.

In the aftermath of World War III, Earth found itself in a period of profound reconstruction. Amidst the rebuilding of infrastructure and reestablishment of global communication networks, a significant technological shift occurred—a transition that would eventually shape the future of computing across the United Federation of Planets. The proprietary operating systems that once dominated the computing landscape, Windows and macOS, had their development and support structures irrevocably damaged during the conflicts. Their closed-source nature meant that without the original companies and their specific infrastructure, recovery and continuation of their use became impractical.
In the vacuum left by these giants, Linux, an open-source operating system kernel developed in the early 1990s by Linus Torvalds, began to flourish. The collaborative and transparent nature of Linux’s development made it not only possible but practical for a disparate and recovering world to adopt and adapt it to their needs. Volunteers from enclaves of survivors and later, from emerging new governance bodies, contributed to the Linux kernel, ensuring its evolution and relevance in a rapidly changing world.
As the decades passed, Linux became more than just a stopgap solution; it became the backbone of the new world’s computing infrastructure. The open-source ethos that defined its development paved the way for an era of unparalleled innovation in software. By the 22nd century, Linux had evolved far beyond its initial kernel beginnings into a sophisticated operating system known for its reliability, adaptability, and security.
It was this Linux, enriched by over a century of global collaborative development, that laid the groundwork for what would become the Library Computer Access/Retrieval System (LCARS). LCARS, with its distinctive interface and advanced computational capabilities, became synonymous with the technology of the Star Trek era, used extensively throughout Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. The principles of openness, collaboration, and adaptability that were integral to Linux’s success were also embedded in the core of LCARS, allowing it to evolve and meet the needs of a vast and diverse galaxy.
Thus, Linux is not merely an ancestor of LCARS; it is its foundation. The journey from the post-war world to the era of starships and space exploration was made possible by the resilience and innovation inherent in the Linux operating system. This legacy of collaboration and openness continues to define the technological landscape of the Star Trek universe, embodying the spirit of exploration and unity that characterizes the Federation itself.

“Nothing but US politics” that’s a lie because genocide is also blocked. How can you discuss US Politics without discussing US sponsorship of genocides???

It’s the same conversations but everyone uses the word “liberate” instead so it’s much more pleasant

We do a little trolling, as a treat, on people who rigidly hold to other, unnamed diets that are stricter, and also what they feed their pets. We do not, in accordance with the rules, bring up such arguments here.

The main designated asshole protagonist claiming to be pescepescetarian (only eat fish that eat other fish) is still one of my favorite parts of Silicon Valley 😄

Arch? Only if you have time to maintain it and do regular updates! I just use Mint (btw) and have auto-updates turned on. It only bricks the machine once or twice a year, easily resolved with a quick reinstall.

The fact that It’s not certain that you’re being sarcastic says a lot abut the scores of “my favorite distro of Linux is easy to use with no serious drawbacks” evangelists on Lemmy 😄
