That Pluto is a planet.

How did you get her to watch it and give it enough of a chance to like it? I've been with my wife for 20 years, and she's still never seen any Trek other than the JJ Abrams stuff.

Picard was trash. It started very promising, and then it's like they brought in the writers from Amazon's Wheel of Time to ruin it.

The Orville is the best Star Trek since DS9.

Except for season one and part of season two, for both of them.

They're Delta Quadrant spies!

I'm not talking about office drama. I'm talking about getting cornered by someone in an alley on the way back to your car from a ballgame, or whatever. If you can't run then you have two choices, you can fight, or be a victim. You're fortunate that you've never been placed in a situation that would have allowed you to understand the statement.

Maybe Kingsmen wasn't so far fetched after all.

The kids are alright

In some ways. Not so much in other ways.

That's easy! None of them.

 

AFAIK it has always been this way. I don't think I've been banned from an entire instance, but who knows? If I have, I wasn't told about it. Do they only allow interaction from people registered to their instance?

 

We all know the outcome of the investigation into his island, with his eventual arrest and death. But what became of his staff? You don't run an operation that large without the help of dozens, or hundreds of people. Most of those people were accomplices to multiple felonies. I'm sure there were a few who didn't know what sort of operation they were a part of, but many must have. I don't remember reading about any other arrests other than his. Were there other arrests, and if so, how many? What about his suppliers? The gangs that would sell him slaves, and the human traffickers who smuggled the victims? Did they all get off Scott free?

 

We watched this last night and it's definitely the best movie we've seen all year, probably the last few years.

Viggo Mortensen was nominated for Best Actor for his performance in this movie and it's apparent why. He completely disappears into the role, with no remnant of Aragorn, or Captain Fantastic anywhere on screen. You forget who you are even watching.

Mahershala Ali did win an Academy Award for his performance, which is reserved, powerful, intriguing, and believable all at once. I've only seen Ali portray villains before, and I had forgotten about my previous conception of him within the first few scenes.

The chemistry between the two actors is remarkable, and they play off each other very well throughout the movie. We found the movie to have a perfect blend of seriousness, humor, heartbreak, and triumph. The script is great, the acting superb, the directing stellar, and the music is flat out amazing.

The movie doesn't pull punches with the overt racism of the South during that era. The pair - genius musician, and street smart bodyguard - encounter multiple dangerous situations. They save each other, both literally and figuratively, throughout the movie.

Overall I can't praise this movie enough. It is an outstanding accomplishment, and deserved every award that it won. Check it out!

 

Newpipe hasn't worked on my Android for several days now. Has YouTube blocked the app, or did an update break it?

 

I've been using Arch on an old laptop for a few years now, but I use Pop on my gaming desktop. I've wanted to switch to Arch for a long while now, but haven't had the motivation (if it ain't broke, and all that). I'm finally ready to do it, but I'm a little concerned about my gaming experience. Are there any gotchas for gaming with an i7 and a 3070 ti that I should be aware of before I make the switch? Is it pretty seamless? Can I still use a freesync monitor with the g-sync compatibility setting? Is it easy to install the Nvidia drivers and well documented on the wiki? I'm open to information about any other sticky scenarios you guys encountered getting Arch set up for use as a daily driver and gaming computer.

Edit: is there any way to backup my internal drive mappings and mounting points, or will I need to set all of that up again?

I've only ever used Gnome for Arch, but one of the things that has me motivated to switch is that KDE 6 supports HDR. Does anyone have experience with it? Is it a pretty slick and simple DE?

 

I've added some instances to the instance filters, yet I continue seeing those instances. Is there something else that I need to do to block entire instances?

 

Would a Federation warship like the Defiant out gun a Star Wars Star Destroyer? Who has a bigger armada? Who has the tactical advantage? Don't forget that The Federation includes the Klingons, who love warfare and have fast, agile, heavily armed ships, with cloaking devices, and the Vulcans with superior logic and tactical planning.

 

I have block bots selected, and I have my language set, yet I frequently see both types of posts which violate those settings. Are there additional changes I can make to see fewer of each type of post?

 

I've been using Sync successfully for months now. Today I tried to post and it said I need to log in. I have tried a dozen times and it keeps throwing errors. I verified that I can log in on the mobile website. Logging in to lemmy.world through sync works fine. Any ideas?
