@gaurav I wish that Force Ghost Yoda had been a little more explicit. "We keep training monsters! Every generation, the most talented people we train become mass murderers. And then we have huge wars to fight them, killing even more people. Whatever good we do is vastly outweighed by the evil we cause. The Jedi are a broken institution and we should have disbanded 8000 years ago the first or second time this happened, instead of the 275th time. Burn it all down; Jedi magic is mind poison."

I really liked KOTOR. I liked KOTOR 2 less but OK.

I used to dislike that the SW universe was so messy. Now, I'm kind of into it.

I like the big world.

I love in the Mandalorian where Din Djarin has to explain to someone what a Jedi is, and they're like, oh, whatever. Uneven distribution of information is very interesting.

I think the variety of aliens is cool. I don't like that every language is like "oota boota schmoota".

I like that the music is called jizz and that they doubled down on it.

I like R2-D2.

I'm a qualified yes.

I watch the movies and the TV shows. They're some of the best TV around.

I dislike the complicity of the heroes on-screen with slavery, both of humans and of human-equivalent AI. They don't question their unjust surroundings. Exception: droid uprising in "Solo".

I also don't like the model of history: two secret mystical societies locked in galaxy-wide battle for thousands of years, veering wildly from decadence and hypocrisy to fascism and back. It is so bleak.

@n8 that d6 system eventually went OGL. I really like it!

@n8 you may have seen the part in Episode IV when they buy and sell human-equivalent AIs and use control bolts to keep them from having free thought.

The secret mystical societies battling unendingly for thousands of years is from the EU, which if you were cool you would know about.

@penryu no, I meant, why Dr. Who over Trek or Wars?

@hybridhavoc I think it's the best part of Game of Thrones.

So worried about the woke mind virus they aren't even aware of the pro-ant virus spreading like wildfire.

@futurebird I only recently learned the term "myrmecosphere" in George Monbiot's book "Regenesis" and I think the concept may have turned me .

@evan what kinds of stats are collected on the server? Can you give us an idea? What's happening with the co-op idea? Thanks!

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

@vid I'm going to post a blog update. Are you asking about server stats like memory and CPU? Number of members? Coop is live and incorporated.

    @ryanhoulihan oh no what have we done

    I am so deeply frustrated with the current Fediverse trend to /tightly/ bundle backend servers (Mastodon, Akkoma, Calckey, etc) with front-end client UI. I want to use the Calckey client to read my (currently Mastodon-based) social.coop account feeds! I want to try out Akkoma's client without switching accounts!
    I know /some/ of the reasons for this (non-standard C2S APIs). But I deeply wish projects would just create standalone reusable client UI, instead.

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @dmitri yes! That's one of the reasons the ActivityPub C2S API is so important. You should be able to build different experiences that distribute their activities through the same social graph.

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @dmitri we have a C2S standard. It'd be great to see it well-implemented.

    evan, (edited )
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @brunogirin @dmitri mostly because Mastodon doesn't.

    Also, I think the paradigm of standard APIs is confusing. Most commercial SaaS services have very distinct APIs with very different models and uses. So people think the same thing should apply with open networks.

    You never forget the moment you learn that the space music in Star Wars is called jizz
