I’m on the beta. And I started hating it, then went to disliking it to simply not preferring it.

Being in beta, they are still making tweaks. I think, somewhat unexpectedly, the final build will be kinda nice.

There was a point at which reddit because so big as to fundamentally change. Call it 'when regular people joined reddit.' But that's not what ruined it, it was reddit itself capitulating to shareholders.

Still hard to ditch Reddit entirely, there’s just too much valuable content on there.

But accessing Lemmy via mobile app is darn near perfect, and feels a lot like early Reddit. Just need more active users.

I’m just questioning what value he’d find in a Twitter account these days. Unless he’s doing a full-court PR press to rehabilitate his image, seems anything public facing is more harm than good.

Alphabetizing a list of items whose sole characteristic is numerical wouldn’t have been my first response.

Why would Spacey keep an active social media account?

There are already laws that make sure employees are given time off to vote. At least there are in my state, in many other states. A national law would be welcome, and I think more effective than an election holiday.

Why “fuck the UN” and not “fuck China?”

Sounds like the UN could have made better choices, but the real villain (at least in the part of the history you describe) is China. No?

She was a talented editor, and SW and RoTJ are the better for her work. But I think her real contributions during this time was reining Lucas in. He seems to do better with a moderating influence, at least in filmmaking.

I think we are all better for having George Lucas. We wouldn’t have Pixar, ILM, or LucasArts without him. OG Star Wars and American Graffiti were legitimately good. Every other film he did was garbage, however.

I’ve had the same problem with getting Actual set up.

And you know what, I desperately want my (tax) money to go to supporting them in their disaster.
