My university's introductory CS course has us using Java. It's a web IDE within a textbook, but weirdly enough, I found it's actually just connected to an AWS instance of Ubuntu.

I myself have been daily driving since my sophomore year of high school.

I think the answer is obvious. There are so many better alternatives available today. Some examples include:

  • Windows ME
  • Glorious Leader's Red Star OS
  • Temple OS
  • Don't use an operating system - sacrifice all your your time to studying the ways of the mighty Zarthadonatoxator instead. All hail Zarthadonatoxator! Zarthadonatoxator is the only true way!

That just sounds like classic Winsanity right there, not a hard drive issue.

What about Virt Manager GUI, which is what I use here? It's a frontend for QEMU and it's not that difficult, honestly.

I found a prebuilt OpenCore for KVM. https://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore

I then changed the config.plist to make it think it was a 2019 Mac Pro.

And that's why there's a "-2" on the end of that arch vm - there was one before that I borked while trying to update it because I hadn't used it in so long.

It's a terabyte SSD. I've currently got 136 GB left on it. I think part of it might be they're auto-expanding qcow2 images, so they don't actually take up the full space provisioned for them.

10, plain 11, 7, and funny enough, Server 2022 are all legit licenses (I can get a key for server through my university). Actually, I'm pretty sure the 11 one, I upgraded a Windows 7 VM to 10, then to 11.

Every other Windows version that needs it (11 LTSC, 8.1, and Vista), I just temporarily host a phony KMS server whenever it needs to be reactivated.

I apologize for talking so much about Windows on a Linux sub. May Stallman break into my house and give me 10 lashes as I slumber.

Whole of soap.

That is what I'm standing off yesterday.

I will clarify I haven't watched a lot of Discovery, Enterprise, or Picard.

However, problems of the sort you mention (not necessarily the exact ones you mention, but similar or of concern) aren't exactly new.

For instance:

  • TOS showed Chekov assaulting a Klingon women (under the influence of an evil space alien before).
  • It is heavily implied Spock did something with Saviik in III. Also, in general, they just ruined a good female character. (III might actually rival V in terms of being the worst Trek film.)
  • TNG did "Code of Honor".
  • Also, TNG very much did weird things to Troi, including rape to rape-adhacent things. Not necessarily as bad as T'Pel, from what I can tell, but still messed up nonetheless.
  • I'm sure there's an example for DS9, but my mind subconsciously puts it in a pedestal and is blocking me at the moment.
  • VOY unnecessarily sexualizes Seven.

I think the truth of all Star Trek is it is flawed, but that we can critically acknowledge those flaws while managing to look past them so we can appreciate and enjoy the good parts.

Don't blame Janeway. The real culprit is the same person who killed trans icon Jadzia Dax: Rick Berman. 😉

In all seriousness, I agree with you. Seven was a good character that the writers and producers made some egregious mistakes with.

Ah crap. You win.
