Yeah and even as a kid it was too basic (after reading WoT)

LotR was good, had depth. Hobbit? That was a novel in readers digest. 😅

As someone who has read the series 3 times, they absolutely woke-butchered the series and fucked things up. Everything that I loved was rewritten, the characters were changed, and the pacing was off.

Not sure whom I’d prefer to tackle this. After the clusterfuck that was Amazons Wheel of Time, this feels like 9/10 😅

For me that was the first wheel of time book. First ones definitely stay with you. For me the Hobbit seemed lackluster, finished it in one evening and it felt too basic

I guess I’m in the minority, but as someone who grew up with the books and pretty much enjoyed everything apart from Hobbit, I’ve been thoroughly enjoyng the show. First season was a tad slow to grab me, but after the slow start the episodes have been the highlights of my week.

I have zero issues with using the great lore as source of inspiration and doing new stuff with it.

Hurt in my ass 🤔

Afaik blocking trackers makes your browser stand out more. You can’t avoid fingerprinting, so best bet is to hide in the masses - so as close to most common resolution and default settings etc.

The reason Branch bought Nova is to use it for A/B testing and feedback (via Nova Discord), to test for things they could add in their other products.

One such feature is the new cards and search features. Nova doesn’t spy on you and they didn’t add ads, they just rely on the feedback given by the userbase.

Sadly they bow fired two employees whom, if I recall, handled support and PR. This means that the solo dev will have to do that too, which means slowdowns and less features in the future.

Why?

Development has been steady. 8 beta has been available with about monthly updates for a few years or some such, in official Nova Discord.

They launched the beta in play store recently as well. Been using the beta since they shared the first apk.

Having enjoyed that truly good but weird movie, this story suddenly makes more sense

Feel free to join Ukraine as a voluntary fighter. Many have done so. Or keep spouting shit here about others. Put your money where your mouth is, Sir Feckless.

Maybe my client doesn’t care about mods (Sync for Lemmy). Otherwise maybe mod removal is just for the mods instace. Im on Sopuli.xyz

It wasn’t a mod. You’re just at -17 vote count because what you said was moronic.

I have my client settings at not to hide, just collapse.

It’s a good start 💁‍♂️

It’s the eu parlament elections, not our own. Our own is still in the hands of a centre-right party, in a coalition with shitty far right party (because they needed a majority, and the typical centrist party decided to not participate).

On the bright side, that far right party is fast losing support.

On the other hand, I’m glad these are the issues we’re combatting against, instead of a corrupt bipartisan government.
