Bonus info: she was the wife of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek.
Also played Nurse Chapel in the Original Series and Deanna Troi's mother in TNG.
Reminded me of Warcraft (the first), where, if you kept clicking on the same unit they would respond in more annoyed ways. The best IMHO was the human soldier[1], which would end with "Why do you keep touching me?". First game that I knew of which had such fun details like that.

They had the same joke in the sound setup program. If you kept clicking "test sound", you would get "it doesn't get any better than this!" in that same annoyed footman voice. But my favourite was the orc destroyer in Warcraft II, which would start singing sea shanties. Or at least attempt to.
I never tried playing the WCIII reboot after hearing some pretty bad reviews.

Agreed. Now I'm still waiting for someone to succeed at a clean-room recreation of Majel Barrett's voice, so we can finally have computers sound like they always should have. We could've been there a decade ago, but the high-quality audio samples, made officially and specifically with possibility of this use in mind, got trapped somewhere between the estate, producers, and a commercial interest that called dibs, and…
I did this. She recorded clean (imo, i cleaned it up) audio for “Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual” which is available on archive.org.
This is cool. I was tempted to try it until I saw the curl | bash pipe, then no. This workflow is getting really old. I guess that I also don't want to pollute old good memories by associating them with work/Claude
Totally agree, it's the main reason I'll never recommend Linux to anyone, because you can't expect normal people to understand these things. But it's kinda funny to me that you just said "I was going to run this code on my system, until I saw some other code in the same repo, and now I refuse to run it" :D It's all the same repo, you're willing to try part of the code, but not another part of it. Completely arbitrary…

> I was tempted to try it until I saw the curl | bash pipe, then no I don't quite get that argument. It's the same as the old download installer from random website, double click to run that people have been doing for decades. It only skips the download step. And it's arguably better since at least you can review the contents. When building a Go program it will also happily download stuff from github but I've seen wa…
One day you run it, it's fine. The next day you run the same command on your machine, it installs malware. No way to tell without inspecting the script every time.
If you download an installer and it's fine, then you can run it again and it's still fine.
