  • Basically just start with what you’re aiming to enable and work backwards (as you’ve started to do). With judicious use of grep find out where that symbol is defined. If it’s in arch configs for other arches but not your own, it’s probably that.

    There may be better tools out there to do this, but in my experience just sleuthing it out a bit will answer your question. The Kconfig system can be complex, but the files are pretty readable.













  • In Cogenitor, Starfleet wouldn’t get very far if it had to roll up to every first contact demanding a species conform to human morality. It has to take a neutral position or first contact becomes an ultimatum. That doesn’t mean Starfleet is pro-slavery, it just means it recognizes that it’s not in a position to force that change on a species it met five seconds ago. Now if the species was trying to join the Federation (down the line) obviously that’s a different story…

    The Orion episode too… Uh, weren’t the “slaves” actually just pirates? Can we trust anything said when it was just a setup to steal the ship? Not to mention that just because a character says something doesn’t make it true or reflect the morality of the show/writers. Maybe that Orion is just an idiot or rationalizing his shitty behavior…

    The Bell Riots could still be pivotal even if nuclear war is on the horizon. The people running the government would be different, or, more abstractly, the progressive mindset affects how America recovers afterwards. Perhaps without the Bell Riots, we diverge into the Mirror timeline, for example.




  • I’m the opposite. Game nights have a protocol on top of socializing so I feel caged up in a mandatory activity. I’m an extreme introvert and I’d rather just sit and listen to everyone else chit chat than to learn a new game, talk about rules, and be forced to interact.

    I dunno, maybe it’s different with friends instead of acquaintances. Or if you already know the games.
