I replied to Blaze in another thread, essentially saying that !trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org is currently a backup / potential replacement for this community (depending how things go with feddit.nl)

(Commenting on an old post to see if it’ll bring it - and hopefully everything after it - through to a new instance)

Confirmed: they’re all just saying ‘Good Night’ to each other like the end of a “The Waltons” episode. It’s very wholesome.

Minor edit to move ‘Sex Meme Pit’ up a few places - it’s swapped back again from a NSFW to SFW community, and the list was only showing its growth as a SFW one. I’m guessing that the Mod is going for ‘SFW community with the more egregious posts NSFW’d out’ approach.

There’s some sticky posts for this community - on the importance of initially populating a community, and providing links (I’ve no idea where ‘protest’ is hosted)

I heard an interview with Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma in Rogue One and Andor) who, when asked what her favourite Star Wars film was, gave the uncool answer of RotJ, and as the interview was ending, could be heard frantically trying to correct herself - “Argh! I meant Empire!, I meant Empire … [fades out]”.

I’ve always been down on the third film because of “Death Star 2” (like, think of another thing George), and I never went to see the 40th anniversary re-release because it was the ‘Special’ edition. (Speaking of the OT and editions, I saw the ADYWAN fanedit of Empire recently - it’s the best one, IMHO).

I’m still transferring stuff between my phone and computer using FTP, like some caveman.

Just seen it, had earlier dismissed as a kids film, but really enjoyed it.

There’s a straightforward trans allegory, but it could also be applied to other situations where societies “make their own monsters”. After all, the proverb “A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth” is as old as humanity itself.

If you had to buy just one, a tractor or a forklift, for loading your palletised homelab, which would you go for?
