There are about twenty different people that are speculated to be inspirations.

Just for added comedy, that group I referenced is called “Bureau 13”…

And like with many of these things regarding DS9 let’s not bring up that other space station show that had something similar, but earlier.

The movie, yes. The organization, no. But in older Star Trek they were just evil.

ST continues its descent into gritty realism that betrays Roddenberry’s vision.

As long as Alex “Light can only exist with shadow” Kurtzman is in charge, that will keep happening.

So give them a show about hope, about how things could be better, how we could be better, not the same shit they could get by turning on the news.

In absolute contrast to Roddenberry, Kurtzman doesn’t think a good society can exist without people doing bad things behind the scenes.

Spending a couple of months in company IT support tends to help people realize better, or make them bitter.

Those TV shows like the IT Crowd aren’t joking with their situations. I’ve literally had to walk across several buildings or go to another town just to plug in the power cable of a monitor, or physically hit the power button, multiple times.

You are very much correct, and don’t worry about the other comment. You see that elitist take scarily often in some of these communities. I saw one person try to argue that programs should be intentionally made less user friendly, to force people to become better at computers.

They literally don’t understand how most people think and only see things from their own tech perspective.

To paraphrase Picard from that one episode where they find the frozen people:

This is the 24th century, material needs no longer exist. The challenge is to improve yourself.

They’re there because they see it as a way to improve themselves. So they want to be on time whenever they don’t have other issues that are part of a storyline.

Anytime someone is the first of their species to join Starfleet, they tend to bend some rules. Which seems pretty consistent across the franchise.

And he is clearly a competent engineer.

Yeah, for some reason they’ve seemed to made it harder to find the actual start menu settings instead of more generic taskbar settings. So that’s a fair point.

Windows has this “feature”, where is the setting?

I’m assume youre talking about W11?

Because the “Show recently added apps” setting is third option in the start menu settings on W10.

Until themselves, partner or child is affected by a lethal complication. Then suddenly 14.9% of them change their mind.

Go - Dough. God - Oh.

Or even “g’dough”, either way the T is always silent.

Some like it and some dislike it. A lot of it can be changed or turned off anyway, so most just pick what they like.

Then there are the RBG-phobes. They talk about it like it’s the devils work and seemingly get upset if other people have it in the privacy of their own home.

Unless something huge and world-altering happens, there is a 100% chance that it will not disappear in ten years. That would take generations because of the outliers. Although it will massively reduce in usage, and it wouldn’t surprise me if non-food stores begin to phase out cash purchases in a decade.

China is already demonstrating this, since pretty much everything is paid for with a phone these days. And some vendors are using “no cash” signs.
