My anxiety to every new person I meet
i like snakes and a free palestine
- he/they
- v3launchunit.neocities.org/
aside from the aforementioned affection towards snakes, i also hold a great deal of fondness in my heart for hollow knight (i am extremely normal™ about collector), rain world (miros birds are the best creature i will not be accepting criticism on this), command and conquer red alert 2 (kirov reporting), in stars and time (one must imagine sisyphus stuck in a time loop), and about a million other things.
i played through slay the princess and spent the whole game pretty much completely ignoring her in favor of dicking around with the narrator (there is no good ending because the narrator always dies) and the voices (contrarian is the best one), which probably says a lot about me (i am aromantic asexual (this will not stop me from rebugging horny™ shit that i am tangentially interested in)).
fuck it i'm a girl now (still he/they tho)
i also like to draw and make games & shit.

I keep calling him Harry Kim
I'm sorry
why does deep space nine keep running what is essentially a cardassian operating system. give that thing to the right nerd and they'd have Linux running on it in a weekend
since this post did well, here's some cool/good additions people made:
They have universal translators in Star Trek. But why do we assume the limits of the tech are just spoken language?
Think about every time a ship puts its viewscreen on to establish a video call to another vessel. Did every spacefaring species out there independently stumble upon Zoom? Hell no. The UT is working overtime converting one protocol to another, so fast and seamless that real time video conferencing is possible.
Why replace the Cardassian operating system on DS9? The engineers who have to work with the system directly might grumble, and sure it has its idiosyncrasies, but for every end user it doesn't matter if DS9 was running Cardassian, Federation, or Pakled. As long as it's up and operational, It Just Works.
Imagine a world of computers where interoperability between systems and protocols was a complete and total non-issue. Why would you worry about being on The One True Operating System when It Is Working And Also We're In Space So One Fuckup And We All Die is a much more pressing concern?
And, like @tef pointed out in their post, there'd be so much fucking bureaucracy on top of everything else.
I've held a chicken before. I've never held a duck. I have to assume it's basically chicken deluxe, a considerably more refined and enjoyable version of an already perfect experience
And now that I think about it, I guess probably a pretty important part of the equation is that it might quack. I'm not sure I'd be ready for that, it would be like meeting a celebrity. Oh damn it's quack, from all of culture beginning in early childhood. He just seems like a normal guy when you meet him
