I thought the first Star Wars DVD was the Phantom Menace in 2001, and the original (remastered) trilogy weren't released on DVD until 2004.

Were they ever released on DVD? I have the VHS tapes. I thought the best quality version was laserdisc. Beyond that, they were all the remastered editions.

Three if Jacqui loses her senate seat too.

She lives in a bubble. Same as Bolt, who also blamed the voters. They've removed themselves from the mainstream, and can't fathom the masses thinking fundamentally different from them.

Even a walloping with the clue stick, like what happened on Saturday, isn't enough to shake their faith that they're right. That's why they blame the media, the left, the immigrants, anyone but themselves.

Every generation does. When my parents were born, a computer was a job title. Both my grandfathers were born before the invention of powered flight, and lived to see men walk on the moon. The only constant is continuous change.

Not me, unfortunately.

IIRC, she's a lit geek, so I'd be surprised if she hadn't.

My understanding is that Roblox requires changes to the kernel to lock it down in order to prevent script kiddies from cheating. Linux makes that very difficult to impossible, so they abandoned/never supported the platform.

Maybe Sony should have some things cutoff for that root kit, hmmm?

Can you play Roblox? I thought they blocked it on Linux.

Poirot Investigates, by Agatha Christie.

Babylon 5: Into the Fire. Killed just months before release after a corporate restructure. The closest we got was some Freespace mods.

it's totally a grift.

China have imposed their own tariffs on Aussie stuff in the past, so fuck 'em.

It's also in The Menagerie.

Isn't this from The Cage? They've had 60+ years. I doubt it's a high priority.

Could be a late April fools joke.

My daily driver is a 10yo Dell business laptop. Before that I ran a similarly aged Lenovo. I run mint.

In my experience, the amount of ram and an SSD are the biggest contributors to how good the performance feels. Running mint on 4G is possible, but performance is comprised. 8G is perfectly fine most of the time. 16G (my current setup) is peachy keen. I'm astounded what I can do in blender on a 10yo machine.

That said, if you can afford one (and they operate in your country - they don't here), then grab a framework, like others have said. If that's not an option, then add some ram and an SSD.

My 2c.

I guess I don't exist.

Isn't Tuesday expected to be 37?
