  • I just installed the app and so far it’s working pretty well, though if I’m being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.

    In terms of features I’d be interested in seeing there are three that come to mind:

    1. Community icons in compact/ dense views. While Lemmy is still in its infancy, I have to browse c/All most of the time and being able to visually see the community the post is coming for is definitely helpful for browsing.
    2. Multiple accounts in one feed. In my opinion, this is one thing that Lift-off has over every different Lemmy app. With so many instances with varying levels of federation, I find being able to browse all my accounts at once to be a very convenient feature.
    3. Being able to download to an SD card. I know SD cards are a dying breed, so this is probably low priority for you, but as someone with very low internal storage; but a very large SD card, it’s always a welcome feature when I can find it.

    Overall I would say this app already shows a significant amount of polish. Hopefully the development can continue even further.





  • Honestly, I think Crystal Skull’s main problem is regardless of the quality of the movie, the franchise already ended.

    The Last Crusade wrapped up the series perfectly (in my opinion) and even the title implied it should be the end (“The Last Crusade” referring to the most recent attempt to obtain the Holy Great and also Indy’s final adventure). I know nothing happens which technically prevents another movie; but it bookends the series well by bringing back Sallah and Nazis from Raiders and it even literally ends with him riding off into the sunset.

    It was written in such a way because Lucas and Spielberg didn’t have anything left to say with the franchise or character, and there was no fruit left on the vine (so to speak).

    A lot of the issues people have with Crystal Skull come from it trying to do something new with the character and setting since the story was already completed in the previous installment.

    All this to say I don’t think it was a bad movie necessarily, just one which struggles to validate its own existence.
