That ‘… and you killed Kelnacca’ line sounded a bit crowbarred in to me. Not sure if they even used the same actor for it.

I’m not convinced by the Darth Bortles theory (it’s a fun idea, I just don’t think the physiques match). More likely for the master to be one of the witches. They should have it be Abigail Thorn, just to watch the internet explode.

If something is supposed to be cringe, it’s up to the creators to find a way to indicate that to the audience, otherwise it’s taken at face value. Syrill Karn’s speech to Mosk’s troops in Andor is a good example of how to do that.

As for any ‘anti-woke’ sentiment - I’m sure there’s some, but most of the criticism seems to come from people who just straight-forwardly aren’t enjoying the show as much as you. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

I wouldn’t do this personally, but if I did, I think I’d at least pipe the results to head -n 1 to only act on the first result.

I’m guessing that The Acolyte has suffered the same fate as Marvel’s Secret Invasion - in production for an overly-long duration, full of re-writes and re-shoots. So far, it’s resulted in a show that’s a mash-up of individual scenes: some are quite cool, some are oddly shoddy, many of them don’t stand up to much scrutiny.

Review-bombing anything is so self-defeating though: it gives the producers such an easy out, and allows for any legitimate criticism to get folded into the more illegitimate stuff.

‘subscribe to anything’ is handy, too. I’m subscribed to this post, for instance, so get notifications of new top-level comments.

That’s kinda funny, in a way - unsophisticated prevention for an unsophisticated attack.

Everyone trying to use the Internet normally suffers due to this kind of stuff.

I think virtualizing the python environment (with venv) has become quite common, although my only evidence is that the server I’m using to send this was written in Python and uses one.

I’ve had that problem too (messing around with test instances) - for anyone else wondering why: it’s because the RSA keypair for me@mydomain has changed, and remote instances fail to validate message headers signed with the new private key, because they’re still using their copy of an old public key.

The Jedi are known for their disarming nature

Probably.
At one point, Yord mentions her mothers, so I wondered if it was that was part of it too. Female show runner, too, of course. I could probably delve into YouTube and see what’s stirred the bigots up, but I’d rather not get depressed finding out.

Yeah, on some level, I think that’s always been part of the appeal of it - I’ve used it for ages.

Yeah, I think you’re right. And I’ve played KOTOR fairly recently too. I might just be misremembering something from a podcast.

Ha. Fair enough. I’m still of the view that there was some kind of ‘no knives’ rule until recently.

It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest). There are, of course, still areas in the world where - for one reason or another - people still are effectively on dial-up speed-wise.

Buster should turn their attention to the size of the images uploaded to servers like this: 1.1M is arguably overkill for this one.

Interesting that that opening fight had both knives and blood - I think there was a time (before Andor) where both those things weren’t really allowed in Star Wars. It felt like nothing that came after really lived up to that. Episode 2 had two writers, joined by the word ‘and’ rather than an ampersand, meaning that they worked on it separately, which doesn’t bode well (the last time I saw that for a TV show was Secret Invasion, and that was rubbish).

It’s okay, good enough to keep watching. It looks like it’s getting review-bombed though, so there must be something about it that’s upset people.

Also, as soon as my stupid brain heard that a character was called Osha, it didn’t stop thinking about Star Wars Health and Safety violations:

It probably is. I’d tried Mastodon but found myself not going back. Phanpy re-invigorated my interest in it.

There was a great windows app called ‘dvdshrink’ that let you rip commercial DVDs onto blank DVDs (shrinking them if necessary). It got taken down with a Cease & Desist, but the MPAA or whoever didn’t worry about who took the domain. For a long time, the site was just filled with ads instead - now it’s a bit more sophisticated: no real link to download the software, but lots of genuine-seeming donation requests.

The fake site is at the first search result for that software (edit: it’s probably best not to link directly to it)

Decades ago, my school’s drug info was similar: every drug had a single entry (‘euphoria’) in the Pros column and a massive list (ending with death) for the Cons column.

I’m not sure that it ever quite worked - the videos currently on Lemmy are likely to ones brought in manually, rather than new ones that have come in via federation.

The community copies (on lemmy.ml, endlesstalk.org, etc) all show 0 subscribers. At a guess, it’s because the format of the Followers collection on PeerTube is slightly different - it doesn’t have the empty ‘items’ array that Lemmy expects, so it just rejects it. As such, any new posts will also get rejected by Lemmy (the same way it does if a community genuinely does have 0 subscribers). A couple of Updates have come through, so maybe Updates circumvent that check.
