I liked how Star Trek: Discovery had a snippet of C code with a reference to Windows NT. I wonder if we'll still be on x86 in the 23rd century.

It's a reference to a copypasta.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Iä! Iä!
At least his eyes point in the same direction
This was always super liminal to me because you're in this position so rarely and only for a moment.
Hey, you two! Board the plane!
I've noticed the same thing with cool ranch Doritos. A while back they seem to have realized they went too far making them practically naked. They were heavily seasoned for several months but now it seems like the level of seasoning has been creeping down again. No idea why they single out that one flavor. Does it have silver in it, or something?
Red Hat 6.1, that was my first Linux distro.
And so can you
I've been designing CPUs and writing machine code and assembly for the last month and it's been a blast.
If sound like friend, why smell like machine??
Look, I had a busy weekend, okay
