The beast and rider vaguely make up the “A” shape of the Arch Linux logo.

An emotional-support gun?

How much red could a red-hat hat…

Wondering about those “making citizens” instructions on the wall.

The trick is to have a second EFI partition. One for windows to destroy, and one for linux to enjoy.

SMH…

Fine: “the alphabet starting with emm”

Well how about that… all this time I thought they were the same character. IIRC, child-me thought it was Wile E’s day job so that he could afford all those ACME products.

Yum… fiber…

I’m sure it would be quite rare to fight in a clean-room where such a tactic would be necessary, but not to worry… even in conditions free from dirt and dust, you can still get several hits in by converting your ordinary EDC PocketSand™ into earth-shot.

Plot twist: using magic really burns through the calories!

It might only take the smallest cryptodust to trigger a US reporting requirement.

Getting flashbacks of me trying to explain to a mac user why using sudo “to make it work” is why he had a growing problem of needing to use sudo… (more and more files owned by root in his home folder).

Come to think of it… it’s also addressed in TNG when the guy from the past calls the captain on the intercomm, and says something like “if I was not supposed to use it it should have a lock/code”.

I can get the perspective behind the last one (unauth access). Coming from a closed society it may be unthinkable for someone without authority or authorization to perform an action “unauthorized by the authority”, but in an open society the mindset would be quite different. Much as we might without thought throw a light switch without expecting authorization, or maybe like the hoplophiles that don’t want an electronic lock on their weapons, perhaps what they optimize for (i.e. their security model) could be for even an extreme case such as if “the only survivor” is one unbadged civilian with no bridge/engineering knowledge needing to control the ship (and even weapons) with the usual security case simply being that the bridge/engineering is a secured by persons/staff… IIRC, even knowing who performed such an action is a distant secondary concern (in Voyager it is said that control panels try to log who uses them be the comm badge present), but I know of at least two cases where command-and-control was locked: one in TNG by data (which is presented as quite an exceptional workflow), and one shuttlecraft in DS9 by O’Brien (which might be more of a consideration for scouting operations… to help ensure one has a vehicle to come back to). Conversely, it seems far more frequent that the computer denies access to data in defense of another’s personal privacy.

It’s that awkward language between C and Zig that (even decades after it’s realized to be a false start) will take forever to die.

Ackshually… in season three episode seven “The Enemy” it is made clear that Romulan technology is generally assumed to be completely interoperable when Geordi could not connect his VISOR to his tricorder in more than a superficial way… Quote he: “they don’t speak the same language”. :-)

I was just watching a youtube video with humans literally walking into murals this same way.
