This is why I have a meticulously curated list of shows I’ve watched and the episode I am currently at in Obsidian with dataviews and all 😀

It’s a soap opera and wish fulfillment for (conservative) men over 30

TBH Asimovs books are just men in rooms smoking cigars and talking how their plans went perfectly.

Not exactly riveting television.

And still people do it, they even give their own devices to kids with CC info pre-filled and no safeties on purchases.

Imagine how bad it is when the next fake ad game gets Timmy to subscribe to a $99/day gem pack…

”The price is you stepping down and agreeing never to run for any political office under pain of death”

I’m not entirely optimistic about this ruling, but we’ll see.

Apple had no reason NOT to give refunds and then use their weight to claw it back from the app developer.

But what happens when not-too-legit apps use non-AppStore external sites to unlock features in an app?

In a perfect world it’s cheap and easy and reliable.

But it can also be a scammy shop that lures you into expensive subscriptions with no easy way to cancel them (eg. gym membership) and what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?

Could go either way 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every store does this. Even Holy Valve

I have an Arzopa too, works as a second monitor for my laptop when travelling

Also bought a cheap small AliExpress dock for the Switch so I can use it as a display when playing on the go

Masamune Shirow himself confirmed that Kusanagi was a mass production model on the outside to blend in and not have her harvested for parts, like a custom body would be.

Also the whole fucking theme of the franchise is “what is a soul (ghost)”. Kusanagi has canonically swapped “shells” multiple times, is it a ship of Theseus thing or is she still the same person?

But this is an argument I can’t win, so I’ll leave this here and disappear 🫠

Lego Harry Potter

For fucks sake it was obtuse. I had to use a walkthrough to figure out what to do next multiple times just in the first episode

Now imagine Slow Horses but they tell Gary Oldman to fuck right off for a season without pay.

TV doesn’t work like that.

For the same reason The Expanse had to shuffle plot lines around so that the main characters had screen time and didn’t have to skip full seasons

Juliet literally wasn’t in a whole ass book at all

The books do some book shit that’s won’t fly on TV, that’s why this season had to be like it is.

How they tackle S3 is going to be interesting, since the book for that was even bigger book shit.

More like in the top 5 🇫🇮

GTA Online still brings a BILLION dollars every year.

The next GTA can’t be anything except 100% perfection and Rockstar isn’t in a hurry

I’ve been running Jellyfin just for the metadata on the same library as Plex.

If Plex goes full evil at some point, I can just shut it down and switch to Jellyfin.

But for the time being the UX on Plex is so much better I can’t be arsed to switch. Especially since I got my Lifetime Pass like a decade ago for 79€ or something. I’ve got more than my moneys worth for it.

You do know what caused the Hetzner thing?

People were literally farming Plex in there. They bought a 2-4TB server in the auction and installed Plex and a content farm setup to feed it fresh content.

Then they sold access to the server until it was at capacity. GOTO 10

At one point Hetzner went “fuck this” and just banned Plex altogether. We can’t have nice things because some people are dipshits professionally.

This.

I just set up Plex for my mom on her bargain bin cheapo android TV. It had the plex app right there and it’ll play without transcoding.

Can’t do that with Jellyfin.

Also Young Sheldon and the spin-off that’s still going on

Few hundred euros if you’re minimum wage, IIRC
