Alan Tudyk is awesome in it. And I really like Ken’s arc. I just wish Dirk didn’t spend literally the whole season complaining about how dangerous he is. It’s such a tone shift from the first season.
I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes...
Mine is “What we do in the shadows” I watch it every winter at least once, and I always turn it on as a backround on chirstmas family meatings, its always funny because people still dont get it if its a seriuos movie or a comedy.
For me it’s watching petapixel (a photography gear review channel) on youtube, not because i want photography gear, but because i think canada is beautiful especially in winters and so are the pictures in the video
I mean my answer was half-joking, so I guess you get a half-woosh (woc). Like yes, I do sometimes do what I said above, but everyone watching these videos understands that they serve 2 purposes
And what omelet is that exactly? I bet you 48 hours from now there won’t be a single answer from someone to whom OP directed their question. Nothing can be gained by simply ranting in the interrogative.
I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so....
I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
I had a blackberry bold which was sorta in between smart and dumb. My last actual dumb phone was an LG rumor, which was one of those with the full querty slide-out keyboard
Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....
But yeah, some smaller and more niche channels might advertise real useful products, but that’s very much in the minority
Edit: FWIW I have bought exactly one product which I learned about from a YouTube sponsorship. It was a set of Sleephones I heard about from an ASMR maker. They’ve made a huge difference for my sleep and the company that makes them is pretty good about selling replacement parts
For me personally, trams are right up there. Aside from the main issue of sharing the roads instead of having a dedicated line, they really make it easy to get from one part of a city to another, especially for wheelchair users. They’re usually as frequent as buses, but much faster. The stations are much more attractive...
That order is almost the same for me but move bike way down. Having to own and maintain a piece of equipment to get around introduces a lot of the same problems as cars, just on a smaller scale. IMO getting around should be something the built environment facilitates without the individual needing to BYO vehicle
The setting is kinda depressing, but the story follows a group of characters who are trying to make some positive changes in the world, though they sometimes disagree on what that means. So you don’t have to think about the literal billions of people living in poverty on Earth, because the only Earther characters that matter in the story are the ones who escaped from the poverty
What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?

Whats your winter season movie that you must watch every winter?
Mine is “What we do in the shadows” I watch it every winter at least once, and I always turn it on as a backround on chirstmas family meatings, its always funny because people still dont get it if its a seriuos movie or a comedy.
