Because it never should’ve been made in the first place.

Like the Star Wars sequels, it was just yet another example of

• a mainstream, well-known, toe-the-line corporate Hollywood director who
• is known for making big bombastic movies that are great eye-candy but shallow stories (“a mile wide but an inch deep”),
• who aren’t actually fans of the franchise & are thus actually just outsiders to the fandom and thus don’t know what makes actual members of the fandom “tick”, what makes the content great and all that,
• and because they’re not huge fans of the franchise, rather than spend the time & energy to consume, understand, and get up to speed with all the years of varied lore (good and bad), they just go the lazy route, say “fuck it let’s just do a reboot” so they don’t have to do all the work.

It’s easy to say that the Kelvinverse is “just an alternative canon”, but that’s only because it largely flopped. If the Kelvinverse had taken off, or if Paramount had been stubborn and kept with it like Disney has with the Star Wars “Disney canon”, it would have undoubtedly been the only officially recognized canon. This is exactly what happened to Star Wars, and as it stands Legends/EU canon have only largely been kept alive by the fans, with very few exceptions (one of them being the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO).

I don’t normally like mustard anything, but yeah that shit is fire. ^_

All of the Kelvin-verse Star Trek movies and all Disney-canon Star Wars content.

.......Except for Andor and Rogue One. That shit is tight.

Because I splurged and bought too many Snyder’s of Hanover pretzel bags and now don’t have any money. :C

Yes, it stays there.

That’s really cool that the snooze thing makes it go away!

Oh I see so there really is no difference functionally aside from the fact that the native functionality is manual restoration while the addon functionality is automatic restoration?

Er…sorry. I guess what I meant by that is that from what you tell me it seems that there is virtually no difference between what the native “tab unloading” function is and what the addon’s “tab snooze” function is, that difference being that the former requires manually reactivating a tab while the latter can do it at a specific time/duration like an alarm clock.

Is that about right?

But then loading an unloaded tab reloads the page, does it not? Or does it go strictly by the cached version? If it is the former, then it should load the newest comments.

Might be less coffee but it’s not just the coffee that’s the waste; it’s all the extra plastic that each one of those K-cups uses.

Plastic often lasts centuries (at least) to biodegrade and even then animals try to eat the waste and then die horribly.

Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later

Can’t Firefox already do this though?

It’s a shame if he never did anything with it, but thanks for going into detail! :D

As others have said, the general rule is simple: if it no longer runs what you want it to run, upgrade.

For example, I have an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU. It’s no longer that new, it’s like 5+ years old at this point. But most of the games I play are at least 10 years old—I think the newest, and most graphically intense, game I own is Cyberpunk 2077—and my GPU runs them just fine.

So, why would I spend hundreds of dollars on a new GPU when it’s still wholly functional for my needs?

Looks like they invented a new way to doxx people!

Does it still exist, and can it be implemented client-side? That sounds really cool!

Ooh that’s a good point. I mean, not Linux Mint because as thanksforallthefish said below it’s not a Mint-supported DE but I actually installed Arch (btw) with the KDE Plasma DE onto an old laptop I have and yeah it definitely gives early-2010s OS X vibes. :)

That’s legit.

I hate GNOME because it feels like an iPhone.

That’s fair.

I don’t know much about what Ubuntu is doing but it surely can’t be that bad.

You would be surprised.

Yeah…

See, I used to like Ubuntu, but then Canonical had to ruin it for me by betraying the principles that Linux stands for.

Ubuntu is a shadow of its former self, and it saddens me. :(

You know, I can see that.

Still, mac users use macs because they just want the computer to work.

And the Cosmic DE is rather new so can be a bit buggy from time to time. It might look mac-friendly, but its stability is still largely untested so caution may be advised before recommending it in my opinion.

Ubuntu is heresy. Canonical hath turned against the users.

Also, I’m genuinely curious: why do you hate GNOME?

They didn’t say beeteedubs so clearly not.
