I use Fennec for my phone, but I'm rediscovering Floorp on desktop right now and I'm seriously impressed. Smoothest Fox Fork I've used in a long time.

I never stopped. Big corp always lulls us into a false sense of security before springing the trap. I streamed for a little while but always kept me sails dusted.

I get you. I really do. It hurts a lot that Star Wars has become what it is today and the joke started at Phantom Menace.

I suppose what I'm getting at is that Star Wars is a cluster fuck no matter which way you slice it but at least EU occasionally made it a fun cluster fuck.

I'm not saying that Disney should have followed every canon that that walking fop of chest hair Lucas let through. They should have just left it alone and never mentioned it. Don't think I'm a Lucas fan. I hate him. Countless authors just dropped trow and shit on his desk and he made it canon.

I mean, Lucas told RA Salvatore, one of my favorite authors, that he had to kill off Chewbacca after he took the contract. So Salvatore, insulted, killed Chewie in the most heroic but ridiculous way he could think of and ran him over with a goddamn moon. From then on Lucas banned Chewbacca from any future New Jedi Order series and we got Lumpawarump.

So whereas the EU was indeed mindless insanity, it was our mindless insanity. Most EU fans like me who are aware of the shitshow it was accepted that it wasn't perfect and cherry picked our own headcanon from the books. Disney essentially ripped that from us and forced this inconsistent, uninteresting slop down our throats.

They lost a chunk of fanbase decanonizing it, receiving ridicule en masse, when they could have just ignored it and put out their own events anyway. I'm not just one of those "couple of stories" guys, but I will concede that I am one of those "couple of stories I actually really enjoyed" guys.

I'm on the Trek side with this one. Tossing aside the EU was an absolutely insulting move by Disney. They could have had a field day with Corran Horn. His story covered everything from deep sci fi hunting down the Imperial Remnant in rag tag space skirmishes to high fantasy wielding a lightsaber made from a swoop bike handle that changed length when you twisted the throttle.

Instead they put out mindless drivel that holds consistency about as well as a sieve holds diarrhea. Sometimes there's a nugget, but most shit just runs through.

As a Star Wars fan I've always considered Star Trek very classy with intelligent nuances and a solid backbone. I just never could get into it. Probably my penchant for high fantasy. My uncle and grandfather are proud trekkies, though.

The whole Star Wars vs. Star Trek thing is just apples and oranges anyway. Each also has it's fair share of "that one fan" we all dread, as displayed by Stephanie here.

Smashing something with a club and and sifting through the pieces to find out why it broke is the best way to learn. Its literally primal human instinct.

As someone who originally fell for that trick, bless them. I've since learned how to do it right and became a dirty distrohopper.

Either that or some Linux wizard cast the "every time you get your distro perfectly set up and stable you get bored and install another one" curse on me.

Hmmm... so reading up, Timeshift doesn't automatically delete manual backups. Have you tried removing your old manual backups and trying again? This is just a hunch, but I feel as though Timeshift is looking through all of your old backups after you manually create a new one in order to apply appropriate tags. I think that's why it's telling you that the maximum weekly backups have been exceeded; because its checking every one of them.

Honestly, I'm just getting back into the Linux game after a couple years so I'm probably off, but it couldn't hurt to delete a majority of your old, unneeded backups and check.

I'm also playing poe2, but I mix it up with some Tales of Maj'eyal and Lord of the Rings Online. I'm a dirty casual like that.

Yeah, that and albinoblacksheep, which came a little later. This, Geeks in Love, and I've Got Some Falling to do were top of the list for a long time on both. My friend brought up Threebrain the other day, too. Miss the old days of watching this junk on the school Apple computers. The groovy colored ones.

Yep. At first I was agreeing here. Like, why didn't Aragorn specify defeating Sauron is the oath fulfillment? But then I realized that yeah, if they worked under Sauron once, its probably safe to say if they directly faced him at the gates he may have some sort of power over them. Too risky. Send away.

I'm here because reddit is now a useless NFT cash grab and 80% of reddit mods are authoritarian pieces of trash.

You're not missing much. You could even find a mastodon community you like and start spreading your positive messages there.

Welcome to the future. Welcome to the resistance.
