The more I read on , and , I get the impression that the fundamental architecture of the is almost incompatible with GDPR. How is this discussed within the Fedi circle?

Just to make this clear to the non-Germans amongst my mutuals: there were not "10s of thousands" on the streets against in but 100s of thousands, probably around 1.4 million in total. The largest demonstrations since reunification.

is most likely not coming to "destroy" the . We have just over 1.5mn monthly active users (MAU) here, clearly we are not a threat to their combined 3,740mn MAU. Heck, Meta probably won't mind losing 1 or 2mn of them to "us" if they can establish a alternative. That's the big prize imo. The bird has over 350mn MAU. Getting only 10 percent of those is worth potentially losing 1 or 2mn to the Fedi.

The thing with is: I'm totally disinterested in the and the devs keep adding stuff for that. I just want to explore intriguing planets and maybe get a bit more Guardian archeology. And if the FPS elements would be half-decent, I wouldn't mind going on a campaign for the Alliance military/intelligence, bit spying, bit hacking, bit shooting. Alas, it's those Goids...

REMEMBER THE CANT!

8 years ago, premiered on Syfy, quickly becoming the best show of the past 20 years

The Rocinante from The Expanse, the sickest ship in modern sci-fi, doing a bad ass high G turn to fire its railgun. Queen.

Hey folks, when did you fall in love with laser swords, scoundrels, bounty hunters and the Force? Are you an Original Trilogy kid (incl. the Ewok movies), did you find your way to the GFFA in the Dark Times with the Expanded Universe, was Jar Jar your hero, or did Rey and Mando capture your heart?

I haven’t seen a lot of discussions on my home feed, despite the fact that I follow a good many hashtags and Trekkies. Is nobody watching the final season?

Greetings CMDRs, here's a longer thread for those of you who love/are interested in , especially when it comes to .

I did some tinkering and here are the top 3 exploration ships for all three classes (small, medium, large). So let's go! 🧵

Ok mutuals on , let's get this going towards the GFFA:

  • Luke Skywalker is and always will be my favorite character (from young Luke to grumpy Luke)
  • TLJ is the best Disney SW movie so far
  • Rebels is essential SW and I would trade almost all movies for that show
  • Gilroy is god (Andor)
  • Ahsoka should’ve been animated
  • Thrawn is the best anti-hero SW ever had (at least in the new canon novels)
  • The Jedi video games are excellent!

What about you?

Question: in where you can set your character's looks, do you try to make them as much alike to you as possible or do you play out your phantasies?

Now I watched and... well that was an hour of television. In some respect that worked better than , in others it... didn't, at least for me. Gatwa brings a lot to and there's enough mystery around Ruby to keep me watching. But let's just say that I'm really glad the next episode is written by .
