What's an "open source" book? You don't compile a book, aren't they all "open source"? Do they list all the sources for their text or something?

I had to install Golang and build it myself to make it work with my version of glibc. But in the end the themes aren't rendered properly. In other words, proper Linux experience.

Of course, Sony is corporation and doesn't do things purely to appease consumers. But they also care about their reputation, so getting negative press is damaging to them.
Unlike with the Helldivers situation, where people could refund, the examples I listed had no direct way of causing financial damage, only reputational one. And it still worked, cause at the end of the day, reputation converts into money.

Putting personal experiences side, I already provided 2 examples of cases that would've affected exclusively console players and they pushed back enough to cause a reversal.

Their food makers are called replicators, and technically, they aren't just food makers. While they are primarily used to create food and drinks, they also replicate the plates and glasses, clothes, mechanical parts, and pretty much any matter, with few exceptions.

Tomato, tomato.

Not exactly, it does a lot of extra stuff in between; it stores your entire molecular structure in the buffer (basically downloads you into RAM), filters out foreign pathogens like viruses (except when it doesn't), apparently keeps your molecular structure log after each transport (which is somehow different from being kept in buffer), sometimes accidentally merges you with another species if you happen to have a certain flower with you, etc.

They do have sonic showers. Don't remember any references to toilets tho.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I agree, which is why I only think in terms of small things. Like poop filtering.

No, of course not, it goes to the same place all other filtered contaminants go. Recycled for replicators, I presume.
