Three notifications on the hour and one five minutes ago, sounds like he’s a two pump chump and on round 2.

Pound-seconds, I believe. Good ol’ LM giving imperial numbers to NASA.

Exactly, people don’t seem to understand that our intelligence/problem solving ability is based on two major factors.

1. Our evolutionary lineage, pattern recognition and instinct, etc.

2. Our nurtured upbringing which creates the “training data” we need to accomplish specific tasks. Even if that upbringing isn’t holistic it would still require a significant amount of training to do anything programming-wise that the “three minutes and a coffee” side of the panel is completely ignoring.

Without these a human is useless, we have training data as well, it’s just organic and learned over a lifetime in addition to the billions of years of life evolving on this planet.

It wasn’t really always like this, in modern Trek they don’t have any ideals to aspire to, they just do what they have to. In DS9 you had Captain Sisko breaking his back trying to convince himself that letting Garak kill a Romulan diplomat to get them on the alpha quadrant’s side was worth it.

Shouldn’t be forgetting for one off scripts either, if that’s the logic you want to go with.

The tool exists, either you do it or you don’t and end up getting an error until the interpreter hits that line. It’s just the nature of being compiled at runtime.

Sir, this is Lemmy. People treat the applications and hardware you use with ethical alignment and switching to FOSS literally has approval on the level of religious conversion.

It’s no wonder people around here care so much about random people’s opinions, the place practically filters for it.

Exactly, they give it to you new and after a year of regular wear they take the deposit because how dare it have wear from pressing the talk button and being hit by the sun 24/7.

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

I love how backwards this is but parroted unironically by the Lib right. Whatever the market accepts, not offers, is the fair market value. That misunderstanding is where this “no one wants to work (for my pitiful salary) anymore” comes from.

I shot the mailbox again, on purpose hahaha

That’s my only real issue with her is her comment to the Nova class captain about it.

However, I give her the benefit of the doubt here because she’s clearly trying to encourage him that they don’t need to abandon their morality. If she tells him that she’s done it half a dozen times or so then he might be more likely to assume that’s the standard.

Now we all know in hindsight that he’d already committed an atrocity and wanted assurance from Janeway that he wasn’t alone in his decisions to prioritize crew over other sapient beings, but she was simply seeing the younger version of herself in him and attempting to assure him that he doesn’t have to give up hope and sink to those depths.

Voyager has more of a problem with character writing consistency than it does an issue with Janeway specifically, IMO.

Bajoran space was far away but not impossibly so from Federation resources, I’m not trying to say he’s a bad Captain, merely that the comparison to Janeway is a complete farce. If we are being fair they both fail to uphold the federation’s ideals.

If we are being reasonable, they both did what they had to do in order to save lives and get the job done.

My issue is the constant Trekky tendency to pretend Janeway is a shit bag and Sisko is somehow better, it’s just bias.

Exactly, had they not reversed the malfunction Janeway could be considered to have killed two of her crew. That somehow never gets brought up in the philosophy discussions surrounding the episode. Refusal to act when a solution exists makes her complicit in dual homicide.

Plus! After that one episode in TNG where they de-age replacement Crusher, we have no reason to believe transporters can’t solve literally all of these issues including death. For those not in the know, since the transporter has the last time someone energized stored in their memory banks it can simply reconstruct them as they were. A literal backup snapshot of the person.

Once that episode airs, all bets are completely off. I mean seriously, you could fix someone getting their head blown off by just transporting them but altering the image to correct for their last time leaving the ship. Death? Fixed. Wounds? Fixed. You can literally pull their backups and reconstruct at any time you want.

It’s foolish to think this is even a conundrum given that slip up, just duplicate and separate, keep all three. If transporters are really making matter out of energy it shouldn’t matter if there’s three people’s worth of matter, just use more energy.

Yeah, he was largely operating in safe space and still made some unethical decisions.

Janeway was willing to make the hard calls that would best serve her ship and it’s future, having your cook and your third in command get fused isn’t exactly going to result in a functioning chain of command.

Plus since the operation could be reversed, you could argue that Tuvok and Neelix aren’t actually dead, merely suspended animation like storing people in a transporter buffer. You’re still killing Tuvix, but sacrificing one to save two is “the needs of the many” in it’s most simplistic form even without the added weight of hundreds of lives depending on Tuvok’s leadership and tactical skills.

I never once considered Janeway to be out of line given her circumstances. The crew always comes first even at the cost of her own humanity and ethics. She’s a good captain, willing to make the call that ends lives and live with it so that others may not have to endure those decisions and consequences. She didn’t ask anyone else to do that for her.

Even Picard broke the PD multiple times. If we are basing ethics on that then he’s no better.

I gave my best effort.

The point is that the company employing gig economy workers expects us to pay their wages and for our food.

“However, the skillset has been retained in our documentation for future potential expansion into potential expansion.”

Star Trek: Legacy. I found a copy on eBay awhile back and got it running. Really fun go team up with AI against the Borg while defending DS9.

That could be, I was trained in systems admin but work as a network engineer by profession. I’ve only set up one server in an enterprise environment and it was using RAID 6.

I’d assume you could read from both disks at the same time though.

Might as well, I think it’s how my instructor taught it when I was going through school.
