So you just have to stand there in the dark and do nothing, huh?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten be a grue.
>wait
Time passes. You hear horrible gurgling sounds in the dark.
>wait
Time passes. You hear the clink of razor-sharp claws nearby.
>wait
Time passes. Your last memory is of the slavering fangs of the horrible Grue as it claims you for a meal.

@sezduck @johnefrancis That actually makes perfect sense. All that excess energy has to to somewhere so the exploding consoles are just pressure release valves. It's a feature, not a bug. Exploding consoles are the price you pay for not splatting into the viewscreen. #StarTrek #AllStarTrek

On #StarTrek they can go from traveling at warp 9 to a full stop within seconds without the people on the ship flying forward and splatting into the wall. #AllStarTrek

And people use proprietary software despite being treated this way? It's baffling. They deserve better. They deserve #SoftwareFreedom https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software #FreeSoftware #Windows #Windows11

Microsoft's "Fix" for Windows 11: Flowers After the Beating

Microsoft spent four years stuffing Windows 11 with ads, forced Copilot integrations, and bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it.

A paper jam didn't just ruin his print job; it forced him to launch a global revolution about software freedom. He didn’t just write a text editor; he wrote a self-extending, Lisp-based universe disguised as one. He won a MacArthur "Genius" Grant and used the money to fight proprietary software. He is The Most Free Man In The World. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #GNU #Linux #Emacs
