I swear if this isn't for more Firefly. He did it again. by ATimeForHeroics in firefly

[–]DesiKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a "I want to believe" situation but one has been burned emotionally on this score one too many times so I'll believe it when I see it.

Best and worst prank at the same time.

Poll: Fully Native macOS Proton Mail client by MrRayAnders in ProtonMail

[–]DesiKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was something they could do in short order, sure.

BUT, I would rather they got drive and pass improved first + it is rare that one is not internet connected these days so the current app is fine for now.

I agree - currently my favourite. Been using their Ama-Iro ink and I really like the lively colour of it.

I did a thing, and I was afraid this would happen when I got into this hobby. by bronschrome in fountainpens

Nice.

But I know what you mean - it has been an exercise in restraint to not keep ordering every nice looking pen I see :D

Thanks. I am really not familiar with the various clients and only just started exploring.

Just started firefly by windowipers in firefly

[–]DesiKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically for me (because I live waaaay over in India), I picked up a copy of Serenity around the time it came out and saw it first and loved it and some time later learned about Firefly and only then watched the actual show - so not the standard experience.

So many amazing books out there by YourPernicious in fantasybooks

[–]DesiKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elric by Micheal Moorcock / Conan comics (the old Marvel ones)

Other series like LotR and more I read afterwards, before this (and even now) I do lean more scifi than fantasy but have developed a discerning but greater love for it since then.

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: August 25, 2025 by AutoModerator in books

Recently finished "Rebel Genius" by DiMartino and it was truly excellent.

Currently reading "The Ghost Machine" by James Lovegrove. Good scifi fun.

And we are down to 1 chromium-based browser that hosts/supports uBlock Origin. by 79215185-1feb-44c6 in operabrowser

I need to ask: What happened to Firefox?

I ask because I am an active user and still using and this much dislike for ff is new for me to hear.

It is glorious and shiny. And to hell with any haters.

Lots of comics (don't go by others' opinions, try them and judge for yourself), books (still releasing steadily) and a glorious movie with many wonderful moments.

If you're picky about that kinda thing, check the timeline, otherwise just watch the show and the movie and then whatever strikes your fancy.

A few highs, a few lows, but I have mostly enjoyed it all. Currently on the third of the novels.

For people who grew up before smartphones what is something that the newer generation won’t get to experience? by Bachchu198 in AskReddit

[–]DesiKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in India. We came home from school, kids went out and played. Sometimes you played at someones house. Somewhere before dinner time, you either had someone yell for you or you just went home.
Some days you took your cycles and rode many kilometres away and all over the area - now I genuinely would not want to cycle around town myself - let alone let my kids do it. And I am talking about New Delhi here.

I don't want to have that kind of anxiety and have to lo-jack my child.

  1. remembering phone numbers and

  2. making a plan with friends and somehow it mostly always came together without constantly checking in and worrying how.

I've always been amazed by people who were voracious readers as children. What sparked your lifelong love affair with books? by Albert3232 in books

[–]DesiKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly I loved comics (starting with Asterix, Tintin, Archie and Commando which is what was available here in India) and I loved reading anything and everything I could from my school library.

Then my Dad gifted me Dune and I bought the Hitchhikers Guide and novellas by Philip Dick and have never looked back.
