Unless we go for the SNW retcon/Temporal Cold War shenanigans, in which case we still have a chance.
I have a pair of socks and pants with this on it.
Why does that look like Alexander Rozhenko but middle aged and with a drinking problem spurred by his traumatic childhood?
Is this xfce-winxp-tc? I ‘ve played with it before and it’s awesome.
However, I don’t use it because while the XP start menu replica is cool, I need a Win7-style search bar, and Whiskermenu sticks pit like a sore thumb here.
I think a 7 replica would be awesome, but I think some parts of Aero can only truly be replicated with a new WM and DE, such as the color changes in the taskbar for different applications. Many themes just fall short - proportions and effects are slightly off and such.
I think the main other distro I used in that VM at that time was Fedora 37 at that time, which should have also been using Wayland. I had made the VMs because I was working on Debian packaging for an application I liked and wanted to make sure the modifications I made didn’t break it on other distros.
I’m not necessarily a “Wayland is the embodiment of evil” kind of guy, but I love XFCE and pretty much won’t leave it unless it dies, meaning I’m on Xorg until they port XFWM4.
Not really, but I switched from Qwerty to Workman years ago, though I can live with Qwerty if I have to when it’s on someone else’s machine.
I use Workman because I found Colemak rather hard to learn, mostly because of the position of S being one over from where it was on Qwerty.
In order for them to be allowed on exams, I ghink they’re required to have a non-QWERTY layout.
Linux (and I think maybe even macOS) can do Ctrl+Shift+U, and then you type the Unicode hex number.
Discord also has an app from Linux - you can get it as a Flatpak (an official one) or as a native package, although they don’t provide a repo for native packages and expect you to manually download a package file every time there is an update.
For the native packages issue, someone created an apt repo on Github, and if you look in the CI routine, you can tell they’re using the official Discord packages and not modifying them.
Honestly, I should probably be sandboxing it more.
It’s annoying to use a proprietary service, but the This Might Be a Wiki community is rather enjoyable.
It’s not just packages. Ubuntu performance is terrible - it runs so much worse than other distros in VM. I don’t know about spins, but main Ubuntu takes 30 seconds to respond to some button presses whereas it’s nearly instant in other GNOME-using distros given equal or less resources.
I think this works. I was in fact one of them, although honestly, at a certain point, they trusted me and weren't even watching all that hard.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

Someone was selling a bit from their collection off the TMBW Discord. I'd been wanting "We've Got a World That Swings" and "Sensurround" for quite some time, so I snapped it. It came with the hype sticker, so I took a scan of it. It was a bit beat up, so after some post-processing, I intend to upload it to the wiki along with the inner box art, which the wiki is missing.
P.S: Speaking of the TMBW Discord, honestly, it's an awesome place. I know many of us (me included) are FOSS hipsters me on Lemmy, but I'm actually more active there. It's a pretty hopping community - join link on TMBW if you want to check it out.
I recently got a rather pristine copy of They Might Be Giants' 1996 single S-E-X-X-Y, mostly for a few bonus tracks unavailable on streaming. Like, it was in shrink wrap with hype sticker, albeit shrink wrap on its last legs - good enough that the rest of it was still in near mint condition, but too damaged for it to be worth keeping on, so I took a 2400 DPI scan of the hype sticker and removed it. Don't worry - I kept the hype sticker.
I want to keep it very fresh - I ripped the CD to my PC and plan on never taking it out of the case again. For now, I have put a zip lock around the case to prevent it gathering dust or getting fingerprints from handling.
However, since it's an FLP case, I am more worried about the case being crushed than a typical jewel case. While I don't plan on getting too ruff with it, I want something a bit harder.
Thus, I was wondering if any of you guys have any particular strategy for this case?
I've looked into CD display cases, but am otherwise having trouble finding results that aren't just CD jewel cases. I was thinking maybe something like the anti-theft containers retailers keep video games in, if they ever made a CD-sized version.

I'm usually not one to beat a dead ~~Reman~~ ~~horse~~ being, but I had to point this one out.
As it turns out, besides also playing background characters in every episode Quimp appeared in, Tom Kenny also played Mariner's ex Malvus in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers", D'Onni in "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", the Ferengi antagonists of "Mugato Gumato", and several background characters in each of those episodes.

In LD S3 E8 "Crisis Point: Paradoxus", the holographic version of Dr. T'Ana was able to recognize they were in late 20th century Earth, seemingly by a single sniff.
I am assuming this is a reflection of T'Ana's actually ability rather than mere cinematic indulgence, for two reasons:
- We do see T'Ana has enhanced olfactory senses in S2 E10 "First First Contact", as it implies she is able to track Tendi by scent, as well as in S4 E5 "Empathalogical Fallacies" when she hunts the Betazoids.
- Considering that Crisis Point was built off private logs, while the plot points may be ridiculous, crew abilities and limitations tend to be mostly accurate. We see this in the original Crisis Point, for instance, when Rutherford has to do the magic transport instead of Billups - simulated Cerritos crew members won't do what the real them would thing is impossible.
Anyhow, it makes me wonder if Starfleet Academy has some sort of sensory training courses for species with certain stronger senses. For instance, T'Ana might have had the option to take a course working with smell samples that they are likely to encounter in their Starfleet Career with other species that have enhanced senses.

Honestly, I rather like the default XFCE terminal. In fact, I was using it even before I used XFCE back when I was just playing with the default GNOME in VMs before I daily-drove Linux.
