“Meme loops are the most common element in the fediverse.”

I do my memes in Inkscape. Should be rather easy to install on Mint.
I haven't watched most of Picard yet except the first few episodes of season 1, but I weirdly picked up this detail from the IDW Picard's Academy comic. I enjoyed it. Maybe not a masterpiece, but it was at my local library and I would read it again just to look at Spock's outfit:
There's just something weirdly fitting about business casual out Starfleet Academy Instructor Spock.
I see Kevin Riley. I say the magic words:
IIIIIIIIII'LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TAAAAKEE YOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOEEEEEMMMMM AAAAAGGGGGAAAAAIIIIINNNN KAAATHLEEEEEEEEEEEEN
Now, who's up for an Ensign or LJG Riley appearance in SNW?
Jokes aside, I would view this more as a Thomas Riker situation - Voyager was split in two in that moment. Both Kims were the same Kim before the divergence field, so both Kims have the same record before then.
In truth, probably part of Kim being stuck at one rank was probably because of a lack of transfers from Voyager, for obvious reasons - it's practically raining promotions on the Cerritos for instance, and transfer seems relatively frequent in Lower Decks.
Actually, according to an okudagram in PRO, he is at least a full Lieutenant by 2384 in the prime timeline.
I mean, they literally defended the rights of the devil. That automatically makes it a great episode.
How old is your laptop? Pretty much every Windows machine I've ever owned after a certain year requires you to type in your Bitlocker key, including my first-gen Surface Go from 2018.
Also, you often have to manually set up encryption on most Linux installs as well - I did it for my Thinkpad. I need to do it for my desktop as well - I should probably do a reinstall, but I'm thinking of backing everything up and trying to do it in-place just for fun. On top of that, we can finally transition to btrfs.
Always thought that Dukat was space war criminal version of Michael Scott.
I like my Quark version:
Seriously, though. Why do Quark and Doofenschmirtz give kind of the same vibes? I guess part of it is a Perry the Platypus dynamic with Odo.
In the pilot, they depict Mojave, California as being very terraformed from a desert to a lush parkland.
However, I find this a bit antiquated... this seems to be very much rooted in an atomic age scientific idealism that thought of how we could make the world work for us and bring it to more western standards of natural beauty.
I think this is in conflict with the TNG solar punk aesthetic and the general respect for nature implied by the Prime Directive - notice how there's no desert bushes in sight as if they wiped them out. This seems to be insane damage to the ecosystem.
I wonder if they'll ever revisit Mojavo on-screen, and whether they'll retcon this so that Mojave is a gorgeous desert town where they solved the problems of drought and extreme heat plaguing the southwestern US while working in tandem with and even boosting the local wildlife, rather than just razing everything and plastering grass and non-native trees over it.
I'd bet we probably only have 3 seasons for it to happen, considering that 5 seasons has tended to be the length of most recent Trek shows (except poor old Prodigy). The only thing giving me hope is that SNW seems to be a decently successful series.
I have a feeling “Severance” has a different connotation with Klingons.

I was especially trying to imitate Prodigy's styling of him.
I don't know that it looks like Jellico, but it does look like an experienced officer circa 2381.
The stardates are just there to fill in the document - I got them from event years on Memory Beta and then just put a random date into the stardate calculator.
I was looking at references of both TNG and Prodigy Jellico to try to make an LD-style Jellico, when I found how they styled his face varied a lot between episodes - I count about 4 significant variants.
For reference, here is TNG Jellico:
This was his first Prodigy appearance in S1 E15 Masquerade:
Definitely a bit yikes, but I also slightly dig the "old man who will bite your hand off if you get within one mile of him" look.
They totally changed his face for his second appearance 4 episodes later, in S1 E19 Supernova Pt 1:
I like this look - it feels very Clone Wars. However, I can see why they might have gotten right of it - it makes it difficult for the face to show anything but aggression.
They dialed back the clone wars for his next appearance in S2 E5 Observer's Paradox:
I think it was also largely the same in S2 E9 The Devourer of All Things Pt. 1:
They might have enlarged the eyes a bit, but I think the other differences are mostly because of perspective differences and facial expressions.
The final, and longest-lived Jellico variant first appears in S2 E14 Cracked Mirror:
This model leans on the more realistic side. This one is probably the most recognizable as Jellico from TNG. It also allows much more expressiveness (not just an aggressive scowl), as seen in these images from E15, E16 (It looks like a different variant, but if you go a bit before, it's actually the same one), and E20:
Overall, I think my favorite Jellico is probably S1 E19, but I can see why they had to switch.
Still, I wonder why it took so long for them to make up their mind on the face and why they didn't get it right the first time.

If life's going to be this crappy, at least cast Jeffrey Combs as Elon Musk, Mr. Universe.

Very well. For simple memes, just plop a textbox.
Though drawing bezier curve paths to create masks is a bit cursed.
