  They are upset that the actor who portrayed Sulu in Star Trek: Continues died

  From what I understand, this is a Bing bug feature that makes its way “downstream” to DuckDuckGo results. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

  Any time I see a lifetime subscription, I think to myself “Is that supposed to last for my lifetime, or your lifetime?”

  Not a huge deal to some but as a music producer it was a huge huge loss. (Now I am going to just run off external drives for thet)

  Oof, regardless of OS, it is smart to keep your important files off of your OS drive. Yeah, an external drive is one way to do that.

  you still need to Google every day basic functions like installing programs etc

  To be fair, I had to do that when I tried macOS for a while years back. That is just part of learning to use any new operating system. But after a while, once you understand the basics, you will no longer need to use a reference for the basics. Linux is no different in that regard.

  you still have to learn terminal commands

  The only time I use the terminal is for things that are just simpler to automate via a command line. Things that I would be using a command line to achieve if I were using Windows/macOS. The kinds of things that I do in Termux on Android.

  It does seem to be a coincidence. Or, perhaps that was chosen as the starting point, and after several rounds of focus groups, they settled on what we ended I’ll with.

  I downloaded a copy of the album art, loaded it in GIMP, and used the color picker, and it considered that 89cd00. According to multiple sources online, it is officially 8ace00. Then, I compared those to a few possible 1337speak variations of the word “baddie”.

  I get that this is a joke, but following the logic here, isn’t that the exact opposite of what that would do?

  I think the final Kelpien design was the better choice. Sci-fi prosthetics are always awful, and while Saru turned out fairly decent, I doubt this would have had a similar outcome:

  I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.

  From what I have heard, that line was not even scripted. The actor ad libbed it, hoping that might lead to him being gifted a fee Tesla vehicle.
