vegan, crossfitter, linux user and rapsberry pi owner walked into the bar, ordered a beer and minded their own business, but dave mortis really had a need to tell us about it.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

You know, I've never met someone who actively tried to recruit me to veganism, but I've seen a lot of people spam vegans with meat pictures in an attempt to "Convert" them.
If you want I can try to put half a minute into an attempt so you can check the box. I can throw in a pitch for flattening eastern germany (bavaria to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) for good measure, if you like.
As a vegan, raspberry Pi owning Linux user, fuck CrossFit though.
The new stereotype is bouldering 😤
I would be interested if there are any raspberry pi owning non-Linux users. It would sort of seem like the two would go together.
Well, there are two issues. First, Apple doesn't allow the installation of their OSs on non-Apple hardware, so installing MacOS on Raspberry is at least a licensing issue and hence there's no project to port MacOS to the Raspberry Pi. Second, Windows OSs are much more resource hungry compared to Linux distros and though there are ways to install Win11 on a pi (though you'd have to tinker a bit more) it would be very slow due to the board's limited resources and not really worth the effort.
Linux has the best fitting distros for RPi, they are made for each other, and there is no real reason (though just trying for the sake of it is valid, too) to use something else on a Raspberry.
I have one of the originals and it definitely wouldn't run anything other than Linux.
There was a version of Windows, Win 10 IoT Core, for the later Pis. I've never heard of anybody actually using it though.
I did once on my Pi 3.
What was your experience? Did you do it just for fun or did you use it for something?
I think it was something dumb related to Cortana? It was a pretty useless operating system, and I’ve since run only Raspberry Pi OS on that particular Pi.
RISC OS, anyone?
Not for me, thanks, I'm pretty RISC-averse.
He also never hesitates to mention that he went to school for architecture and is a licensed designer.
Phew, luckily I was a crossfit, Linux using, raspberry pi owning vegetarian. And I made sure everyone knew it so I wasn’t associated with those crossfit, Linux using, raspberrypi owning vegans!
He brings his fixie bike inside with him, announces he's not ordering anything because he's straight edge, then asks the barkeep if he has a minute to talk about Jesus.
I accumulate things to go akshully about
Morn your stories are great but a little too verbose, can’t get a word in edgewise
Morn at Qurarks = Norm at Cheers
I am two of these things and if you see me talking it means that tragedy is upon us.
What do you call someone who only wants to eat the rich and won't shut up about it? Asking for a friend.
Eating the rich is vegan because they consented by being rich.
An Uber.
I own a few raspberry pis, and sure they are neat, but I don't think people get that passionate about them. It's just a little slow computer.
