The way I think Ford sees it is in the OT, his death in Empire or Jedi would have been a fitting end to his character. He is introduced to the series as a self interested scoundrel, who is only concerned with getting paid. Then he comes back heroically to blow up the death star, selflessly risks his life to save Luke on Hoth, and sacrifices himself so Leia and Chewie are spared. After he’s unfrozen, there’s not a whole lot of character development in Jedi so he just becomes a side character. It seemed like he cared for the character until Han became a side character and that’s why he wanted Han to be killed off.

Wow that is really blue, checks background color:

Regarding the USA point, from the article, there are many indications that the site was founded by someone from Russia:

But in October 2025, the FBI sent a subpoena to domain registrar Tucows seeking “subscriber information on [the] customer behind archive.today” in connection with “a federal criminal investigation being conducted by the FBI.” We wrote about the subpoena, and our story included a link to Patokallio’s 2023 blog post in a sentence that said, “There are several indications that the [Archive.today] founder is from Russia.”

This is the link to the 2023 blog post: https://gyrovague.com/2023/08/05/archive-today-on-the-trail-of-the-mysterious-guerrilla-archivist-of-the-internet/

This syntax should work in most Lemmy clients natively: [email protected]

The linked paper, “Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog” is also a great breakdown of how much the quantum factoring is more of a parlor trick and not practical for factoring RSA Keys, mainly since the prime factors are only a few bits off of each other and from the square root of the number being factored.

Look, you’re famous!

Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR

I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus

Thank you for this. Sucks the local chapters are primarily organized on discord. Seems pretty risky that they could all be shut down in one fell swoop.

It was all worth it for them to end with the Avengers Musical.

Last picture should be Helen Keller with no wires

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

Shhhh, the pitchforks are out, who needs evidence. In all reality, if you were to be wiretapped, an Alexa wouldn’t be the best option. Most people already have an internet connected microphone they carry around with them everywhere. And it has multiple cameras too, which are regularly brought into the bathroom with them.

Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

OMG, your real name isn’t really Ovo647??

Lots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

It’s always Fortinet

You have to call the vanguard agent

Every millennial / Gen-Z person is not going to do this and get their money stolen. Why do companies do this?? It’d be more secure to even do this over live chat for a logged in session if they can’t be bothered to add this to the account settings page.

The raw comment is this:

[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

If they have an ad read in the video, like a creator saying the video is sponsored by XYZ Corp, those could also be paid based on views of the video (in addition to the ad impressions by YouTube). Those ads are handled externally from YouTube’s ad platform, but they do rely on YouTube analytics and views being reported as legitimate.
