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'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.

I tried a fair few browsers for android. Iceraven, Fulguris, Fennec, and Mull. I settled on Fulguris, because it was no frills with custom adblock lists and a good built in darkmode.

However, Fulguris became a headache because any app that required a browser portal login wouldn't recognize it.

So I moved to Mull. Then Mull dropped the project. Mull, Iceraven, and Fennec are basically the same idea as Firefox derivatives.

I use a free, massive coverage, open source icon pack called Delta and between Iceraven and Fennec I liked the Fennec icon more.

I miss the days when silly slapstick was mixed with subtle adult humor to make a family film for all ages.

My youngest introduction to Mel Brooks was Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I never fully understood the chastity belt bits at first. Call the locksmith!
