Sadly, we won’t see a second season, because some “fans” on the internet got mad that women, people of color and - very shocking - queer people exist in the Star Wars universe.

It sucks that these people exist, for many reasons. One of these reasons (surely not the worst one, but the one I want to focus on) is that it muddies all criticism of a project. Your comment implied that this was the sole, or main, reason that The Acolyte was canceled, so I want to jump in here to say:

Having more women, people of color, and queer characters was the only refreshing thing about The Acolyte, and I wish more Star Wars projects took notice. Other than that though, the show is an utter disaster. It was incompetently written and directed, its story and characters make no sense, and the effects can be jarring.

Characters either have no defined motivations, or their motivations flip flop at the drop of a hat. Scenes dealing with the Jedi order and the republic fuck with established lore and do lasting damage to the Jedi order (not in the sense that they are shown as morally gray, but in that they are utterly incompetent and seemingly don’t remember the appearance of the Sith during living memory, for example).

Speaking of which, yes, the show tries to portray Jedi/Sith as a gray area, but

a) that has been done to death at this point, seriously, every other SW project tries to do a “ooooh but maybe Jedi not completely good!”, and b) The Acolyte is probably the most incompetent version of that I have seen (so far!).

I hope I have demonstrated that this show can be critiqued bar any bigotry, and I think it should be acknowledged that that, together with the giant sum of money it ate, are the reasons it got canceled - I am sure Disney also does not like the bigotry, but sadly, they get that with every project, even those that do not get canceled…

In any case, there is no comparison to Andor to be made, SMH.

Take a look at Kavita for selfhosting bools!

Fuck off troll.

Literally every single German old enough to remember life in the DDR that I know (which aren’t exactly few - I am German) recounts that time with terror.

In my entire life, I have not met a single person alive back then who wants to go back to the DDR. There’s no notalgia, only painful memories.

A high-quality laptop without any branding.

I’m currently using a 9-year-old, woefully underpowered laptop made by Xiaomi. Full aluminium unibody, and NO logo. Not printed on, not etched in, not glistening only in the right light. NO LOGO.

I’m not a billboard. I’m not responsible for your brand recognition. Ironically though, far more people have come up to me and asked “hey, what laptop is that” than ever would have cared if there was a logo on it.

It also just looks and feels fantastic, all-aluminium-no-logo just looks so sleek.

So yeah. I will not be upgrading until I find another laptop of the same build quality, with no logo. Tuxedo has that option for most of their laptops, but for some reason not for their only current full-aluminium body -.-

Oh, and don’t come at me with stickers.

Yeah, +1.

I’ve been an avid fan of applocation launchers like rofi and dmenu on the desktop forever, and the “swipe down and immediately search” feels as close as it can get to the mobile equivalent of those.

Yeah. Everytime I’m for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,…

But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.

• Radicale hosts my calendars and contacts
• zero-hassle setup in Thunderbird for both of those things
• DAVx on Android works seamlessly for calendar and contacts Sync
• Fossify calendar to view, edit calendar
• default contact app for contacts
• Infcloud as a web frontend for Radicale. Not pretty, but absolutely functional (and I hardly ever need it thanks to Android calendar app / Thunderbird)

Haven’t tried todo lists yet, but I would imagine they are similarly hassle-free.

The only annoyance I have is that DAVx is required at all, but I’d suspect that’s an Android/Google issue? IDK.

But anyways, this setup works flawlessly for me.

Thunderbird doesn’t even need a plugin. Just “add new calendar” > “on the network” > enter the URL. Done.

Same for contacts.

Ah damn it -.-

Too bad, the app is really nice to use :/

It would be if it’s a one-time payment, but it’s a yearly subscription, and not a cheap one!

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to be paid, but a mandatory subscription when using the most common install method does irk me the wrong way

Just tried it, and it seems you can’t edit or add items without a premium subscription??

Or am I missing something?

Edit: Apparently only when installing via the Play Store. Very weird decision.

Does anyone have experience with keyguard? From a cursory glance, this + vaultwarden seems like a good alternative…

Yeah. I’ve had zero problems hosting my mail on a bare metalachine in a datacenter. They arrive just like they should, plus it’s just so freeing to host it yourself.

Sioyek also does this

Highly recommend, esp. if you like using vim keybinds (you abviously don’t have to, but IMO it’s a fantastic feature)
