Your thoughts on The Orville?
  • I don't want to set your expectations too high, because it's far from perfect, but I thought Picard S3 was basically the good TNG movie that we never received. It was great to see so many of the TNG crew back on screen, and probably for the last time together since they're all in their 70s. The story was mostly good and there were some real high points.

    vscodium, vscode without spyware
  • The argument that it is faster is the biggest lie ever

    Vscode is written in JavaScript and running in a web browser. Vim is written in C and runs at a console. Of course Vim is faster. Vscode is a hobbled cripple by comparison.

    The rest of your comment suggests you are ignorant of vim with plugins and command line tools. I've tried vscode and while it looks nice, I am far faster when developing with vim and a couple of open terminals.

    X user “super pissed” that Musk ordered takeover of his @music account
  • Yes, he was quite popular at one time. It was clearly a well-groomed bit of PR that he was this eccentric billionaire who was using his wealth to forward science and technology for all mankind.

    Then it turned out that he's a narcissistic man-child. The mask slipped for me personally when he called that diver rescuing the Thai kids a pedo. His outrageous manipulation of crypto markets came next (exploiting the lack of regulation). Since then, his purchase of Twitter and treatment of Twitter employees has been a staggering shitshow from start to finish. It has absolutely shattered any illusion that he is a good businessman and he's certainly not a good person.

  • Picard season 3 was pretty great too. I skipped season 2 as I hated season 1. Apparently season 3 just ignores the events of 2 completely because it was that bad.

    Your thoughts on The Orville?
  • I get the feeling that he was forced to include Family Guy style jokes in the first series and was allowed to ease up after it was clear that they weren't working.

    spoiler

    With the exception of that early episode explaining humour to the android character and the engineer wakes up with his leg cut off. That was pretty funny.

    But have you tried Jerboa?
  • Me too, I have no idea where the complaints about Jerboa are coming from. I mean, it shows posts and comments, how radically different are these alternate apps? They all look the same to me!

    Trump Extremists Make New Calls to Hang Mike Pence: 'Watch His Toes Dangle'
  • isn't this happening right now with Judge Cannon? She was a Trump appointee, has already made an outrageous decision relating to Trump, and now she's presiding over his classified documents case, Trumpers are sending her death threats because they think she has the power to toss the case out at this point. It's like they don't even know when they are winning!
