Syncthing; it’s a modern miracle

I had a red Veloster I called Swordfish And my friends called my blue Civic “Bad Wolf”

I’m new to Linux; what’s with the ThinkPad hype?

If you’re okay with earbuds, Pine64’s PineBuds purportedly have ANC

They don’t seem to understand that the Israel/Palestine situation is not on the ballot this November; does anyone actually think Trump would oppose Israel? Even if he personally wanted to, his supporters are all nominal Christians who would turn on him in an instant if he suddenly stopped supporting God’s Chosen People.

This is literally the setup for the show Leverage

Quick search turned this up, but I’m on mobile, so not in a great place to dig into how viable it is. A Reddit post indicated it’s in some sort of alpha/beta stage, but I think it is something you can use today

On the contrary, I have had multiple conversations with Android users trying to convince me that iOS is bad/Android is better with nearly religious fervor.

Element is okay, but I really wish Matrix had better clients on iOS. If Cinny put out an iOS app or got the web app working better on mobile, I’d be way more willing to start using Matrix more.

Christian Nationalism is not Christianity, it is Joel Osteen’s health, wealth, and prosperity message scaled up to the Nation-state instead of the individual

Indeed! I left the Reddit comment and thought, “wait Lemmy is where it’s at, I need to comment there.” And so I did

Man those custom channel pages were so fun

Wow, I guess I am old, I remember when this is what YouTube used to look like.

Weird nostalgia trip; I definitely don’t think it’s better, but if I can scroll through comments and watch the video at the same time, I won’t complain.

In the interest of de-centralization and sharing the load, I’m running Invidious here:

Nah, my memory’s not that good

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Definitely agree that explaining something isn’t always the best narrative choice. Imagination can sometimes be a much better storyteller.

Interesting; I love the prequels (terribly flawed as they are), but they were my first exposure to Star Wars. Not that my dad wanted it that way, but when parents are gone and you want to watch a movie, and you see DVDs labelled 4, 5, 6, 1, and 2, it’s so obvious to start with the first one.

Star Wars has long since gotten too big for its own good, I think; every fan has their own idea of what it is and should be, and no one’s going to make them all happy.

Having sat with my TLJ opinions for a while, the biggest complaint I have now, and both times I saw it in theaters is that it’s so long. Lucas had really dialed in 2ish hours as a good length for these stories, and I feel like there’s just too much happening in TLJ. I don’t super dislike any of it (aside from the casino, but probably just cause that’s when I check my watch and realize how much time is left), but I think removing a subplot or three would help it out a lot.
