It does, you can turn it on in the YouTube plugin settings.

I feel like there’s a pun semi-buried here…

That’s amazing, a retcon like that would win me back over to Disney star wars 😂

Yeah you nailed it.

On top of that, star wars is essentially a sci-fi exploration the Tao Te Ching (one of the Taoist scriptures). Read any of it’s verses and you’ll immediately see the philosophy of the star wars franchise (as written by Lucas) come through.

The force is a fundamental in universe physical law, even more so than gravity. This means there are different laws and principles that people must follow. The force wants balance, which is another way of saying it does not want people to use it’s power for their own will, redirecting it’s path. It wants to flow in it’s natural state undistrubed (a very Taoist concept). Emotional attachment tends to cause people in the star wars universe to use the force for themselves or those they love, which often disrupts the balance or flow of the force. Being able to feel the force is almost like losing at Russian roulette in a way, because it means you either fall to the dark side and have the force slowly kill you with dark side corruption, or you sever all ties and abdicate your life to the will of the force. It may be considered a cruel reality, but it’s not the Jedi who created that reality.

I think it also may be Lucas’s way of trying to convey the same thing Marvel did with Uncle Ben, telling young people that as they grow up with great power comes great responsibility, and that there are things in the universe much larger than us.

I hate that so much but you’re probably right 😅

Right 😅 he is pretty sure of his views. It’s an interesting watch, but perhaps a bit pedantic at times. I think he understands the original intention behind the mainline movies storytelling better than any other video essays I’ve watched.

Maybe that’s something the high republic arc will explore more in coming years. It seems to me that it’s simply a result of the fiction of the extended universe stories being reconciled with Lucas’s core story. Different writers perspectives all getting rolled together in to one. Sometimes the writers have a solid, well thought out perspective, sometimes not.

I apologize for a serious response to a funny meme, but for any who are interested in the philosophy of the star wars universe and the unique pressures presented by the existence of the force, check out this video. The whole “danger of attachment” concept is actually linked to the religious beliefs of George Lucas and is an interesting part of the story telling of the relationship of living beings to the force itself in the fabric of star wars. That is, Lucas star wars. Disney seems more ambivalent to the philosophical aspects of the franchise, but it’s always been pretty fascinating to me.

• Keep WiFi and Bluetooth turned off while you’re out in public.

• If you have the ability to keep the phone connected to a guest network or VLAN on your home network while it still has stock android that is a bonus. Google scoops up data regarding the other devices on your network.

• Use a privacy oriented DNS service like NextDNS to block all the google requests. They have a block list just for that, blocking them is as simple as clicking a button.

Don’t worry, you’re not breaking it to me 😄. I’ve never found the need for more than 10 aliases myself and I could be wrong but I think that needing more than 10 functioning aliases at a given time is a bit of a fringe case when it comes to the average user. It sounds like your comments are based on pretty heavy usage.

I’m not saying that Simple Login is better than the other two services (which I’ve never used so can’t compare) However, from using the free tier of the service for years now the free version of Simple Login is feature complete and does not make you bump in to pay walls.

Yes, and it is very feature complete. It’s what I use.

The paid plans are largely just a way to support development, but specifically it allows you to use custom domains, not just automatically generated ones. There’s some other benefits like PGP and wildcard domains, but the custom domains seems like the biggest draw to a paid plan in my book.

Glad to help. I believe so, everything seems to run monthly for individual users.

I’m not the OP, but I’ll throw in my stats for reference.

Storage used: 65 gbs

Price: 52¢ monthly

I just use it as backup storage with restic as the backup tool, so following the initial data dump it’s just making incremental changes.

They’re changing their pricing this month, storage now costs $6 per terabyte of data per month (up from $5 per terabyte.) Downloading that data is now free, up to X3 the amount of data you have stored. Anything more than that is priced at .01¢ per GB. I could download 195gb for free based on my usage.

Hope this helps.
