According to Memory Alpha, there’s an okudagram in Prodigy that says Prime Harry’s a Lieutenant by 2384.

There was so much joyful “Eeeeee”-ing during this episode.

I think your Adobe comment isn’t quite right. I have two family members who are professional photographers and use Photoshop; Photoshop is so important to their workflow they can’t give it up just to use Linux. They thus stick with Windows (though one’s work had them using Macs for a bit, so they see it as acceptable).

In contrast, although I sometimes used Photoshop in hobbies (a euphemism for memes), I never used any features so specific to Photoshop that I couldn’t just replace it with a combination of Inkscape and GIMP.

I think the truth is as much as I hate Adobe, Photoshop is the best at what it does right now compared to competitors; GIMP 3.0 has a dismal UI and a weaker feature set, and the latter is largely true of a lot of the web-based editors as well.

This episode almost gives me Last Airbender “Tales of Ba Sing Se” vibes. It was especially nice to get to check in on a bunch of regular side characters for what might be the last time.

At the end of the episode, I was like, “Oh my gosh! It’s that one random cadet!”

I also chuckled at Shax’s conflict; I thought they were going to reveal he had been living with some sort of engramic virus or something after an accident.

The appearance of the D once again brings me back to the question - is each reality also in the year 2382, or is there a temporal differential that randomly varies?

There are a couple other instances begging this question:

• Captain Tersal is wearing a TNG-era uniform. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to just say the uniform was never retired in her timeline and are intended to be kept largely the same like the monster maroons, but it still presents a possibility.
• Boimler is able to read about alt-Boimler’s missions on the alt-PADD. Does this mean alt-Boimler’s timeline is a bit ahead, or is the PADD somehow maintaining its connection with the alternate timeline?

I might also add that it being a Galaxy Class Enterprise alone does not mean it is the D - we only know it’s the Enterprise D because of Ransom calling it “the purple D”.

I have my own theory that alt-Boimler is actually William Boimler tasked to replace his other self for mysterious Section 31 reasons. He even says “No one deserves to be replaced by their own clone.”

However, that theory aside, I joke that there’s a chain of modelling off alternate realities that spans the ship ranks, the various levels of admirals, the Federation presidency, the Travelers, the Q Continuum, and beyond.

Virt Manager does have snapshots as well.

As for the host system directory mounts, you got me there. There seems to be an option in the Virt Manager GUI, but it is kind of difficult to get working.

I’ve never used Virtualbox on Linux - it was what I used back when I was on Windows.

Yes, I’ve unmounted an ISO image plenty of times. The button, in my opinion, isn’t that hard to find.

What’s weird is in the IDW comics, Data has become a severed head again as well.

I don’t agree. I’m pretty sure Virtualbox has its own weird kernel module instead of KVM.

In addition, I’m pretty sure the the Virt Manager GUI has most of those features and is in general pretty easy to use.

Virt Manager GUI is my preferred.

I’m a little sad. When I saw a time dilation plot, I was honestly expecting an unexpected romance to begin between Mariner and one of the other two (probably T’Lyn) - not like it fully develops, but like something weird to show up in the possible future we better get in the finale.

I wonder why there aren’t any construction firms called Shaka?…

I think B’Elanna’s not sure what to think of her “Barge of the Dead” experience and can’t tell if it was real or just some weird hallucination.

“I hope so” indicates that uncertainty.

Why does the phrase “humans with a silly hat” make me think of this meme:

Bearded Rutherford actually looks pretty sharp.

Also, I find it rather funny that the prewarp civilization kind of just looks like a bunch of bargain bin Andorians. I bet Mariner will say my words almost verbatim.

This isn’t quite Debian red - more of a mix of reddish pink and purple, which is common in Ubuntu backgrounds.

Despite the Debian logo being red, Debian has tended towards blue-ish backgrounds for several versions.

Based. I find Desert Moonrise kind of vile. I don’t hate painting, but the colors look too Ubuntu.

I wouldn’t call 4K mainstream in 2014 - I feel like it was still high end.

I didn’t have a 4K TV until early 2019 or so when unfortunately, the 1080p Samsung one got damaged during a move. Quite sad - it had very good color despite not having the newest tech, and we’d gotten it second-hand for free. Best of all, it was still a “dumb” TV.

Of course, my definition of mainstream is warped, as we were a bit behind the times - the living room had a CRT until 2012, and I’m almost positive all of the bedroom ones were still CRTs in 2014.
