People seem to have really strong opinions about this show, seeing how every episode discussion is evenly up- and downvoted before anybody have even had a chance to watch or comment 🙄
Okay, let’s do this then. Show me where in that imaginary tome of “open source ideology” principles that “worthless nonsense” and “low effort content” are cause for dismissal. Who judges what is worthless and low effort, and on what criteria?
It’s fairly obvious that LGBTQIA+ related subjects are controversial, especially from the stink that you and a few others raise reflexively at the sight of a rainbow flag. Frankly, your opinions and bloviating is more worthless and low effort than an app that does nothing except display a flag in the system tray.
Re proper analysis: Intentional or not, you did a homophobia in plain sight. Just eat the humble pie and give the weird conspiracies a rest.
…and as OP just pointed out, it’s an open source project? That’s relevant IMO.

Huh. There is a worrying lack of license information, yes. I didn’t even notice.
Yeah, but we’re not looking at the root cause here. Their purpose is to train energy glutton, error prone “AI” even if experience teaches us that those ML models fuck up more often than confirmation bias allows.
“AI” is a bourgeoise and Capitalist tool and, same as with cryptocurrency, we cannot dismantle the master’s house with the master’s tools. Fuck AI down the drain. Make things with your own minds, your own hands.
It’s also skewing the history lesson to peddle cryptocurrency. Not all information is equal.
This reads like a whole lot of research was boiled down to fit the “barely an article” constraints of a casual news outlet. The outline is all over the place but seems well-intended; it’s just not clear what information we’re supposed to take away from this.
Kudos for mentioning GNU Social, Zot and Diaspora, but I’m not really sure any of them are relevant anymore?
No, of course not. I thought the movie sharing was your primary concern, sorry if I misunderstood. Hope this solves at least part of your problem.
First I’ve heard of Virpus but thanks for the heads up. More than 50% packet loss does not sound like a working infrastructure, much less one that should be marketed to consumers.
I’ve never done this myself but if you want to keep it simple and be able to play all video formats, why not just stream from VLC?
I’m happy to be corrected on this, but it seems the simplest solution to a potentially complex problem. Everybody uses VLC, right?
I’m with you. 720p unless I can’t find lower than 1080 — for my setup there isn’t much point. The TRaSH guide parameters make my head ache thinking how much I’d be shelling out on bandwidth and storage for no discernible difference on my home theatre.
Can we just dwell on the subject line of “MISSING HAIR GOODS”? 🤣
That was a really fun buildup and coda. The resolutions to the conflict with Sutekh and the mystery of Ruby’ mum were underwhelming, though. If you’re going to have the big bad simply be put on a leash and dragged through the time vortex, you better have a gut punch up your other sleeve. But they didn’t.
The central conceit is fun but half-baked. Turns out after ages and ages riding the TARDIS, Sutekh had become a scoreboard fanboy like any mortal Whovian who’s been watching since 1975. Everything that happens to the Doctor has to make sense to him (maybe Ruby’s mum is the Rani?!) and he simply can’t kill off the Doctor or Ruby without learning who left her at the church, so he can continue building headcanon from there while the universe spins into entropy. This finale has really been about playing against viewer expectations but I didn’t expect it to be the basis of Sutekh’s defeat…
So now we know Ruby’s mum was a nurse in Coventry all along. That is a nice reversal, of course, and plays into the Doctor’s conviction that everyone is special (see “Space babies,” among others). Good thing Sutekh is gone though, because he would be furious at this development… There’s no complex cosmic puzzle to be solved, Ruby’s birth and abandonment dovetails perfectly with real life statistics as Kate told us last episode.
After a season of teasing Susan Foreman, I found the Doctor’s and Ruby’s talk outside the coffeeshop to be revealing. Trying to talk her out of reconnecting with her mum, he’s really talking about himself abandoning his granddaughter, and rationalising why he never went back for her. That is pretty damning if not for his admission to Kate in the last episode that he might bring disaster on Susan if he were to find her.
I liked those thematic strands and the way they set up for next season, and the general storyline if this double feature finale —but the boss fight might have needed a bit more workshopping before making it to production…
Yeah it is. Church on Ruby Road is part of the season but numbered 0. Looks like it got counted as 1 here?
Nice, I’ll see if it can replace ye olde taskbar standard for me 👍
Oh no, I’m not Wayland ready yet. I still use Openbox for crying out loud 🤣 Tried and true still works for me but I’ll give Rofi a shot!
It’s certainly better than all those verification scams that were popping up after a lot of journos migrated off Twitter…
Speaking of bylines, at this time of writing the only comment on the Verge piece claims that “‘Fediverse’ is the dumbest possible name [and] we gotta come up with a different one”. Signed, “DarthLazers” 🤣
