No offense meant, because you raise a lot of good points on why Star Trek works as a setting, but I fundamentally disagree with the Star Wars take here. Historically, Star Wars has centered around the Skywalker saga for Personal (George Lucas) and Business (Disney) reasons, not creative ones.

Star Wars offers an excellent setting with a framework to discuss ethics and morality baked directly into the universe. Stories like Knights of the Old Republic have shown that you can get away from the main Saga and still tell an engaging story rooted in the universe that Saga created. Tons of old Legends content didn't tie directly into the original films and were excellent.

Andor has also shown that it's also just that bad writing is what leads to IP burnout. I couldn't finish Book of Boba Fett or Mandalorian season 3, but have watched Andor 3 times.

I think the problem is that there is less often something to be said if you agree. Every now and then you might have something to add that fleshes out the idea or adds additional context, but generally if I totally agree with a comment I just upvote it.

On the other hand, when you disagree with something your response will, by logical necessity, be different from the parent comment.

So if you want to prioritize "adding something novel" there's a logical bias towards comments that disagree since only some percentage of agreement will tick that box.

Otherwise you end up with a bunch of comments that literally or figuratively add up to "this".

More good options is always a good thing.

Yup, I remember the D20 modern rulebook alternated using "he/him" and "she/her" throughout the text. One class section would use "he/him" to describe the archetypical character for that class, and the next would use "she/her".

I remember it left an impression on me as a teenage boy.

The FBI and regular police have very different standards. I definitely think this should be fully investigated like any use is force, but I have more faith that the FBI handled this appropriately than of it had been a local PD department.

Not a treasure

In many cases it should be fine to point them all at the same server. You'll just need to make sure there aren't any collisions between schema/table names.

I'm not saying there aren't downsides, just that it isn't a totally crazy strategy.

Same. I write FOSS software in my free time and also paid.

Man, I really think you should either saddle up, don't block ads, or use a free, non-ad-supported alternative.

Sync is made by a single dev who uses it as his main source of income. It's not made by a corporation. Taking the fruits of someone's labor, that they have priced to make it worth their time, feels kinda shitty to me.

If you really feel it's so much better than the alternatives that you won't even use them, then pay what the person making it feels they need to keep making it.

You're being sarcastic but even small fees immediately weed out a ton of cruft.

What about spicy food? Go for the Trifecta!
