Extend! Extend! Extend!

Exactly - I'm all for subverting expectations, but not to the extent that what you've made barely coheres to that which came before.

I like Rian Johnson films in general, Brick is a favourite of mine and Knifes Out is great, and so on. But this was just... horrible...

Scottish one here - Soor Plooms

And, in true Scottish tradition, they were apparently named as a result of an incident involving killing some English people. Not heard that before, but then I've never looked.

Either way, they're delicious 😁

Arrested Development, Always Sunny, and Archer for me. Always reliable when you just want half an hour of laughs. Although I do then tend to get drawn into yet another full rewatch.

Maybe... But I kind of doubt it 😁

Nah, just the movies, going back to when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Love the OT, hate the prequels, loved TFA and RoS, hated TLJ, really enjoyed Rogue One and haven't seen Solo or any of the Disney TV series. Never had any interest in the books or animations.

Only non movie media (not including some little action figure toys, long since lost, and a few video games) was this The Story of Star Wars vinyl record, which is basically just the audio from Ep IV with narrator filling in the gaps! 😁

Cancelling all the unofficial canon stuff was a mistake though, guaranteed to piss off a lot of people, while not really benefiting anyone who hadn't explored it.

Last Jedi shit the bed and painted them into a corner,

Definitely agree with that. There was so much course correction needed after that mess.

I enjoyed RoS a lot though - for me it did everything a Star Wars movie needed to do, great visuals, exciting battles, good and evil, ordinary people coming together to fight a fascist enemy.

Ok, lots of it was very silly plotwise, but just as an experience I was left feeling pumped up, whereas TLJ left me feeling like I was done with Star Wars, it was just so awkward.

I wasn't a fan of the middle one tbh, but the other two, definitely 😁

Rise of Skywalker. I loved it :-)

EDIT - I should say, I didn't properly read the thread title, and I wouldn't put RoS in my "top list". I just gave it as an example of a movie that's generally disliked but that I enjoyed.

I like the movie where the person go into the computer

Have I got an MST3K for you then... Overdrawn at the Memory Bank

I love BR2049. In fact I think I liked it more than the original, and that's saying something.

 

So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.

I had never heard this until today, and it's an absolutely horrifying thought.

You're welcome.

 

Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)

Love it when this happens to the clouds. Purple and red and yellow and on fire...

 

I've decided (after seeing the advice repeatedly!) to try and move away from Chrome and use FF instead. However I've immediately come across an issue which is a bit of a deal-breaker for me, and although I've looked into it, I haven't seen an answer anywhere.

One of the best features in Chrome is the abilty to create a shortcut for an individual URL. This shortcut can then be placed on the desktop, start menu or quicklaunch toolbar (Win 10) and opened as if it were a program in its own right - so, no URL bar, no tabs, no bookmarks, just the site content.

I use this method every day for a number of different sites - Outlook, Gmail, Calendar, Keep, Sheets, Docs, etc, and it's perfect. So much so that I usually forget that I'm technically opening all of these in Chrome at all, not least because the site favicon shows in the taskbar in place of the browser logo.

So, I assumed that FF would be able to do the same thing... but apparently not. Am I missing something? I've found people discussing old features like SSB (site-specific browsing) and PWA (progressive web apps), but as far as I can tell all work on this in FF has been discontinued.

I would maybe just put up with this, and use Chrome shortcuts for these sites, and FF for everything else, except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.

Anyone know of a good solution to this? Thanks in advance!

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this?

Here's my use case in more detail

I have a laptop and a PC, with the laptop connecting to one of my 2 monitors via an HDMI splitter. This allows me to use my PC on both screens most of the time, but then quickly switch one monitor to show the laptop, when required.

Only thing is that doing that causes all PC windows* on Screen 2 to jump to Screen 1, while Screen 2 now shows the laptop's windows. That's fine, and I get why it does that (effectively the PC thinks I've disconnected Screen 2).

* (usually it's a bunch of Chrome windows, 5-7 of them - for work/multi-client reasons this works best for me and my PC handles it fine)

When I switch the HDMI splitter back, all PC windows remain on Screen 1, while Screen 2 is once again showing my PC desktop, but with no windows. Ideally all windows would flip back to where they were before, but I don't think there's a way to do this, and again, that's fine.

My next preferred option is to be able to able to move all Chrome windows over from Screen 1 to Screen 2 quickly - and this is what I'm looking for advice on. I can't seem to find a way to "select" all/multiple Chrome windows and shift them to Screen 2, but it feels like there must be a way?

Any help greatly appreciated :-)

 

Great timing. Unless they're thinking they might get a new manager bounce without actually appointing a new manager?

 

Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please... 🤞🤞🤞

 

FFS, not this bullshit again... Hopefully fan pressure can fight it off just like last time.

I've no idea if this is technically possible at all, but on posts like the one above, where multiple images have been added, it would be really handy to be able to swipe between them as if they were in a gallery. At present it's a case of open one, close it, open the next, etc...

Same for comments, not sure if that would be different than posts.

Thanks :-)

 

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
