don’t leave us hanging, what’s in those .txts?
Yo dawg, I heard you like Windows, so we put Windows in your Windows so you can use Windows while you use Windows
Holy cow “room temperature IQ” no need for the death match after an insult like that
I’ve taken to the term 3rd-wave Trek for the 2010s-present shows to identify the stylistic differences in production compared to shows made in the 80s-90s or 60s.
Each era is molded by the media conventions of it’s time. And there I go reinventing Marshal McLuhan again: “the medium is the message”
After 10 years of iOS, I made the switch to Graphene last month, and I’m loving it. Android Auto was functional for me, but none of the music apps were nice to use, so I’ve left my old iPhone in airplane mode in the car to keep playing my downloaded music.
I’ve not tried any other options since GrapheneOS is the only degoogled option I’m comfortable with
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
Nah, my memory’s not that good
I have just started using it, but I’m planing to migrate my small Discord group over to Revolt.
If you go to their website revolt.chat it’ll offer a download for desktop or a link to the web app, but they’re basically the same. They’re working on an updated client called Frontend which you can get a beta of from GitHub.
I’m on an iPhone and I used the save to Home Screen function in Safari while in the web app to get an icon for it, and I think it works pretty well! It can even do push notifications, but some weird artifacts of using the web app on mobile mean you’ll only get notifications from mentions in a server or a direct message (or group message).
I’ve got a Matrix server up and running and have tried a couple of different clients, but at the end of the day the Matrix UX isn’t really an alternative to Discord, rather an alternative to Facebook Messenger/WhatsApp or other group message platforms.
The main thing I would point to is that Matrix itself only does text; the Element client uses Jitsi to add in audio/video calls and screensharing, but at least right now, it’s the only Matrix client to integrate voice, video, or screenshare.
My other gripes are just with the user interface, but if you open any of the Matrix mobile apps and compare it to Facebook Messenger and to the Discord mobile app, and you’ll see it really doesn’t look like Discord. I wish I could quantify it better, but Matrix just doesn’t feel like Discord whereas Revolt does.
If anyone is looking for an alternative to discord, please check out revolt.chat The interface and user experience is the closest I’ve seen to discord (miles better than any Matrix client), has functioning voice chat (being rebuilt for more stability) custom server roles, and a functioning youtube music bot called Remix. They’re doing awesome work over there!
Edit: Forgot to mention that it’s also open-source and self-hostable (although not federated)
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.
Spacebar looks great, and is exactly what I want, but it doesn’t look close to production ready yet
