Time for a new #introduction post after the move!
I'm Sar, a 50yr old nerdy guy from Northern Ireland. I love IT, and am into tech and all things computing.
My hobbies include playing #WorldOfWarcraft, reading about World Of #Warcraft and thinking about #WoW
Seriously though, my *other* hobbies also include:
#Astronomy
#Linux (alternating between #Bazzite & #ArchLinux)
#Gaming on #Steam, #PS5 & #Switch (mainly on PC though, see above!)
#SciFi such as #StarWars, #Startrek, #Babylon5, #Marvel & #DC etc
Also a screenshot junkie #VirtualPhotography
I'm also awaiting the results of my #Autism diagnosis as I write this, and am also fairly confident I have #ADHD as well, giving me the #AuDHD super-deluxe wombo-combo 😂
I decided to make the jump to this self-hosted instance at the end of 2025 after many happy years on masto.ai/@sar, and have no regrets.
Yet.

Watching #StarWars #RevengeOfTheSith. It’s clear that nobody writing this movie has ever seen anything to do with war, spying, etc.
12 Jedi sitting around an empty room with no information deciding next steps in a war. Despite being able to transmit real time video across intergalactic distances, they have no information to read and understand to make this decision.
Obi-wan has a top secret mission for Anakin to spy on the chancellor, so he walks out into a giant public walkway in the senate to discuss it.
And I just have to skip any scene with Anakin and Padme. The chemistry between them is as exciting as a damp sandwich.
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back (realistic ending)
Vader, using Palantir & TransUnion, instantly locates Leia

These Star Wars fan-fiction movies are really good.
And, they are good example of what a talented artist can do with the current AI tools, and how they can be used for storytelling.

It was thought that the Jedi were forced into the shadows. But they are hiding in plain sight. At the mall.

TIL that Star Wars owes much of its success to editor Judy-Lynn Del Rey. This is a fascinating tribute to the Del Rey Books founder by Ilona Andrews.
