  • Jabba was probably throwing people into the Sarlacc pit weekly. Even when Lando was falling in it had people falling in left and right. Sure the Sarlacc wanted to eat Lando but even easier food was literally falling right into its mouth.

    But after? I don’t think Bib Fortuna was making as many trips to the Sarlacc pit. Poor thing was probably hungry.





  • Mint is based on testing irc.

    I thought so too, and it looks like it used to be, but LMDE is currently based on Debian Stable, specifically LMDE 7 is based on Debian 13 “Trixie”, first released Aug 2025.

    FWIW I’ve been running Debian Testing for a few years now and been plenty happy, might get worth trying that.




  • So the stories of Sherlock Holmes are public domain and freely available online. I did my best but I can not find an instance of Sherlock Holmes locking a home. He does instruct someone to lock a door within their home, which they do, but that’s the closest I could find. There are also lots of cabinets and things that need locking and unlocking, but that’s hardly a home.










  • So Cohn did mention comprehensive privacy laws and the ability to leave platforms. These are absolutely things that need to happen.

    However as an individual there are still things you can do. Cohn mentions Bluesky because it has no algorithm (except the “Discovery” feed). Cohn also mentions (in the video) Mastodon. And the truth is you don’t need to switch fully, just don’t only slurp down the concentrated hate machine(s).

    Look at Lemmy. Reddit decided to be pricks and a bunch of individuals jumped over here to create what I think is a pretty good community. That doesn’t mean the problem is solved. That doesn’t mean Reddit isn’t still a problem. That doesn’t mean Lemmy is perfect. But that is a win and something individuals can do.

    Additionally, those are things you can do now. You don’t need to wait for some law to be passed to fix things. You can make the move now. (While still advocating for laws to fix things.)
