Singapore is a tropical city above ground with an underground city beneath it. Great food, great people, just do not chew gum on the subway.

My obsession with the Fediverse and Linux.

Librewolf is great. Secure and private by default. For compatibility it is nearly as good as Firefox.

A lot of good stuff here. The three things that are most notable for me are:

Notepadqq

Fsearch

Good question! After installing Emulators on my Steamdeck I realized it could run as a desktop. Also, I learned it was a rolling release. This seemed attractive to me, so I wanted to hear how mainstream this could be.

Sounds like the answer is not very. Some other good suggestions in this thread I might try, though.

Not anymore according to Wikipedia:

SteamOS, version 3.0. This new version is based upon Arch Linux with the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment

Who are some people to follow on Bookwyrm?

Does it support offline access?

Thanks! I was playing hide and seek with this little fella for a while and I thought I had lost him when he suddenly hopped up on this bush and I snapped a few quick shots.

I can appreciate art from any artist, but I will not patronize an artist that is trash.

As a kid I got a lot of “Do as I say not as I do.”

The lesson I learned is that a lot of grown ups are hypocrites. I saw this so much it made me decide I would always be honest with myself and others about why I was doing the things I was doing. It is not always easy, especially now that I have kids of my own, but it is much healthier in the long run. I teach my kids by example rather than preaching fake piety.

The Wire

Gotta keep the devil in his hole

I particularly like the original phaser from the pilot episode The Cage but my favorite is the phaser rifle from Where No Man Has Gone Before.

I went back and watched it and I see what you are saying about Furiosa and the concubines, it is a great device for setting up the chase. The chase then becomes the rest of the movie. Furiosa and Max have invincible plot armor during these chases and while I can appreciate the artistic skill in crafting these action scenes, I found sitting through them all a bit laborious.

The most interesting thing about the story to me was how Max and Furiosa went from straight up try to murder each other to becoming best buds. This happens so quickly and without a lot of explanation and to me that is a bit jarring. It seems to me the reason they dont spend more time on it is that the chase has already begun. And this to me is what keeps me from loving this this movie, they compromise on story in favor of chase and action scenes. While there is a lot to love about this movie, it is still not my favorite Mad Max movie.

That’s fair, I may have been overly dismissive with the plot, maybe I need to go back and give it a second look.

Phlogiston, its where heat comes from!

It is hard to separate nostalgia from any rational opinions I have about this movie, since it came out when I was a randy and uninformed 15 years old. That said it had really interesting characters, a plot which I could follow and I especially liked the village of kids from the crashed plane. It had a Lord of the Flies vibe, but with a counter-narrative to the doom and gloom theme that humans will revert to barbarism, but also not an idealized, utopian vision of what would happen. Even Bartertown had an element of social commentary. It seemed to be offering different versions of how people would organize themselves if we wiped away current civilization and social structures. Which one is better? It does not directly make a judgement, but in some sense Max is fighting for what feel “right” to him in order to redeem himself for not being able to save his family and all the terrible things he has done in the wake of the disaster to survive. Honestly Thunderdome is one of my favorite movies.
