For someone seemingly so eager to try out new distros, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned virtual machines. If the vibes are off, it's a whole lot less disruptive to find out that way.

Your experience with drivers won't be quite the same as a bare-metal installation, but checking out software shouldn't be a problem.

Idiots proposed this kind of thing years ago; it was denounced as "both inappropriate and unethical to take radiographs of people when there is no health benefit for them"; and even the Home Office called it "unethical".

It should also be remembered that the reason the UK has immigration restrictions at all was to keep out Jewish people fleeing persecution. It has always been about bigotry.

You wrote this ten minutes after being reminded that "consent" by children is nonsense, in what is still the most approved comment.

If you want to be a successful troll, you are going to have to learn to be less obvious. If you want to discuss topics in good faith, you are going to have to learn that this "just asking questions" approach makes you look like a troll.

The end of "Cogenitor", where Archer blames Trip for the death of Charles.

Oh, so that's why aristocrats get coats of arms.

Helping one another out is invisibilized, not rare. A good chunk of what I know comes from other people taking the time to explain why something works the way it does and how you can see that for yourself. The rest is from curiosity, experimentation, and hammering away at something until it fits. It's not professionally specialized knowledge.

Admittedly, I have much less experience with i3, so I fired up a virtual machine with Debian 11.6 and installed i3 (along with lightdm) and was able to recreate the problem of .profile not being executed when logging in, so this isn't unique to your particular setup. Great!

Fortunately, this combination does execute commands in ~/.xsessionrc, so I added:—

. $HOME/.profile

to that file, then logged out and back in again. That did the trick for me, with the commands in .profile then successfully modifying the PATH variable (and writing additional lines to the execution log files), so I suggest you try creating/modifying .xsessionrc in the same way.

It's not exactly "rødgrød med fløde". Dr. Seuss put harder-to-say things in books for children.

I don't see them in the app, so not yet, I guess.

Uh, the XiBucks, obviously.

Look, I get it. Hexbear is a demanding place to be. It expects you to not be a complete asshole almost all the time. You're regularly tested on knowledge of an emoji system so complex, it's been known to make London cab drivers cry. If you unthinkingly parrot talking points, you'll be pounced on with annoying facts and aggressive reasonable concern for the value of other people. And if you emit the slightest Hitler particle, you'll be outright banned. How authoritarian! Honesty, sometimes I wonder why I signed up, never mind stay around.

But then I remember that the folks there are a deeply caring lot, who see the problems in the world and actually want to do something about it—even though the goal often seems barely possible—and, in spite of everything, retain a sense of humour and try to make improvements for each other, even if, for now at least, it can only be a :meow-hug:.

Oh, and the XiBucks, of course. Some of us even get roubles, too!

I saw The Wrath of Khan as a kid, quite possibly before seeing any of the series, so there's never been any question of it not being representative of Star Trek for me, though I can see how someone approaching chronologically might see more of a disparity.

However, TOS had plenty of deaths, including destruction of starships, as did V'Ger's, uh, collection of data, so does TWoK really stand apart in that regard? Chekov and Terrell kick off the plot while surveying planets, encountering a strange alien creature, and Kirk and co. find an underground paradise; I see that as fitting the explorative aspects of the show, at least somewhat. The villain is defeated with teamwork, deception, and by outplaying him, common to the original series. And the story raises some ethical questions regarding cheating, playing god, and marooning, again in the tradition of the show. I see the differences as more stylistic than substantial, but as I said, personal history affects my perspective.

As far as general movie principles go, music can be a strong influence on audiences, and Wrath of Khan has a great score.
