Need to archive this one. #StarWars #Vader #Padme #Anakin #Luke #Leia

There are many good points in this Star Wars thread about how there's Vader in Leia too. Honestly I think she was the stronger of the two...

From what I remember from The Old Days, there's a delimiter count issue that *culminates* at that line but isn't actually located there. In OOP, the problem can actually be after 265, which is always fun. So it's *lines* not just one. Let the hunt for the missing character begin!

Yes. I'm in the process of working out under which OS I will be VM'ng #Win11 under - because if one MUST run Windows, one should do so in a container. A tightly controlled, strictly monitored container. #Linux #Debian #KaliOS #VirtualMachines

[2/2] As for the platform, hardcore gamers have been putting up with that for a while now. The industry is trying to make most (if not everything) subscription/DLC. That's why #Steamdeck and #SteamOS have become so popular. Even I'm going hardcore #FOSS - that's how bad it's gotten.

[1/2] Have you ever used Win11 as a daily driver? It's kinda like driving a car that's a cat that doesn't like you. It's either answering to someone else, or it could do WTF ever - neither of which you want to do. I'm down to #Debian #CachyOS and #KaliOS for finalists on the i9.

I'm not saying that he can't do it, or that he wouldn't be great (because he can and he would) but TBH - I'm getting "reboot fatigue" at this point. Does no one have a new story to tell? A world that we haven't been to, with characters we haven't met? Asking for a friend.

I have a non-relationship relationship with certain forms of fruit juice, otherwise I'd be right with #Smudge on this one.

The thumbnail is a little dramatic, but this is independent verification of what I've gleaned. #Win11 and #Win12 are not OSes, they're platforms for subscription services. Get your system(s) to #Linux if you haven't already.

Relativity exists even in the realm of Magic. You arguably have the teeniest hands of any adult I know. You'd make a small fortune building custom PC's and cyberdecks. 😏

Ugh. It's total BS that THIS is what was left on the cutting room floor. This was cut for time. THIS didn't make it into the theatrical release. Criminal. This is the sort of thing that's going to make me start collecting Director's Cuts. #MCU #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

#Sigh - Today is the DAY. I have multiple versions of #Linux - specifically #Debian and #CachyOS - installed on the former #Windows10 box. Still test driving what to fully replace Windows 11 with.
