Don’t go putting words in my mouth, I said “Not like today”.
Don’t go being a sophist.

So?
Take a look at the numbers. There are way more today than ever before, full stop.
You want to pull out the standouts, the few that did occur, is just a goalpost move trying to make it seem like it was as common as today, rather than the exception - which the numbers prove.
And yet, the numbers still show rhere are far more today.
The movies you bring up were the few sequel-based things out there, and were the exception.
Fits with the movie then. Or his movies in general
Not like today, by a long shot.
I’d say today’s trend began in the 90’s and has exploded since.
Edit: Some sources
Sequels and Remakes in Hollywood, 1991 to 2010
Letter: Sequels and franchises, still the film business holy grail

3·16 hours agoI’m not seeing a strongly worded “we don’t collect your data, all your data is encrypted and we can’t access it”, so I’m calling this Yet Another Massive Data Collector, unless they say otherwise, and show how they aren’t.
Funny, they’ve been doing this since long before the Trump admin.
3·17 hours agoLineage doesn’t archive old versions of theur downloads, unfortunately.
The only risk I see is where you’re getting Lineage from. Are they a reputable source?
Even then, how likely is it that an old version of Lineage, for an out of production phone, is a target for malware? Possible, sure. Likely? Seems like a lot of effort for a very small surface.
This is why Lineage requires the factory OS first, to ensure certain drivers (eg modem) are in place.
I think the nerd/tinker space today is stuff like self-hosting, local storage, return from cloud.
Apps that don’t phone home to someone else’s server, keeping your contacts, calendar, shopping list, etc on your own stuff.
1·1 day agoWe could, if someone cared to put in the effort to make that happen.
Graphene will run on all Pixels I think. They don’t make a distinction on their website.
For other phones, Lineage is a great alternative OS if a phone is bootloader unlockable and there’s a build for it.
Come on baby…
Light. My. Fire.
2·4 days agoNot really.
They all now have computers with data connections to report car metrics.
Never buy a new car. That’s half the problem. I refuse to ever take a car to a dealer.
Rule 2 of car ownership: never take it to the dealer for maintenance. Find a local shop and build a relationship with them.
Rule 1 is never buy a new car/buy a car from a branded dealer. Cars lose up to 30% of their value when first purchased. Several years ago I bought a 3 year old car for half it’s new value - that’s how much they depreciate (a Honda no less). Brand dealers are pros at screwing you over.
Excel tables.
No Linux/OSS app can do this (and will likely never). Open Office devs have outright declared they won’t.
Or the automated process that export/import data via excel.
Let’s see you rebuild all those things, without man hours or errors. Costly errors.
Whenever someone gets on a “just switch” campaign (whether it’s something like Linux or Metric), I know they’ve never had to work on a migration project and seen the challenges, difficulties, and risk.
I use Linux for servers, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend time converting my workstation - there’s zero value in it for me when I have decades of tools and process. The value proposition just isn’t there.
Don’t go taking down a fence until you fully understand what it’s for.
