Until this situation, I would have been with you, but I think China might have realized that if they play their cards right there's a world where they just control Russia some day. If things get especially rough, I think China might play neutral.

Not sure if it's just me, but both of your links seem to go to the same place. (Nightshade)

This is a fun thought experiment and I’m kind of surprised Discovery didn’t do something like this with holodeck tech in the “future” since the writers weren’t afraid to do other tech-taken-to-natural-conclusion like tiny phaser transporters (or whatever those were).

They kinda did, they just didn't go into detail. There were ships that were made entirely of holodeck at the new federation headquarters in discovery season 3ish, we just never got beyond being mentioned briefly and people going 'Oh, thats cool'.

They didn't go into depth at all, don't believe we even have one with a name, but they talked about seeing federation ships made entirely of 'holographic containment walls' in Discovery Season 3. Pretty sure it was when they first arrived at federation headquarters in the future.

There was also that ship in insurrection where it was just one giant holodeck, but still existing inside a regular ship. The concept just hasn't made it into something that's broadly popular in the mainstream trek fandom.

It's an arguable point, but unless you get weird with what you quantify as Linux, I think VLC might honestly have more users.

Surprised that the first go to isn't the tiny horse attached to the back of the main one or the fact that the astronaut also has no feet.

I feel like banning all direct links gets you 90% of the way there. No referral codes, if a user wants to find your site, they have to go looking, automated spam is harder, etc.
