Assuming detectives count, Criminal Record? I don’t know, I just looked it up, I don’t actually have Apple stuff. I’d be really surprised if there wasn’t more on it, even if it’s not original programming.
Edit: Slow Horses too perhaps? Although it’s more domestic intelligence shit, it’s in the same vein.
There’s copaganda everywhere. Cop shows are like the cosmic background radiation of TV. Cheap, trope heavy, the plots and characters basically write themselves.
Thanks for the rec!
Upvote for Jesse Welles. I appreciate his music can be topical, but also humorous and chill. Maybe not the sort of protest songs you play to fire people up, but definitely ones that will get their message stuck in your head.
Yeah, couldn’t care less if Chrome is faster when it is controlled by Google and actively working against extensions.
Not to mention we crossed a performance line maybe 10 years ago where browser engines on modern processors are basically trivial. Once we started having 8+ threads and the browsers got smart enough to leverage them, I’d bet bandwidth (or memory if you have many tabs), is a way more typical bottleneck.
I wish they wouldn’t call this a reboot, it’s almost the entire OG cast, for one, and IIRC these four episodes are all they’re doing. This review criticises it for feeling like a reunion special but that’s what it is.
I’ll watch the episodes, but I think it’s silly to expect anything more than a nostalgia bomb.
Fuck you, Ellison and Paramount. I’d rather watch the franchise die than turn into fanfic for fascists anyway.
I don’t hate the Kelvinverse movies, I appreciate they’re in a separate timeline and they can be fun popcorn movies. Movie Trek is always a different angle.
That said, I wonder what Star Trek Discovery looks like if it was trying to follow TV Trek’s footsteps instead of being JJ-esque lensflare and martial arts. Seems like they had to make a few crappy shows just to triangulate that people want to take their time and get to know a crew like they did in the older series.
I watched the pilot for this show and it didn’t really grab me, did it get good eventually?
Also been enjoying Pokopia and have totally fallen prey to the “I’ll just wander around and rebuild stuff” play style, completely ignoring the story until I feel like I have to get to the next zone.
10/10 would wander aimlessly spamming blocks with Pokemon friends in tow anytime. I can’t express how happy I am to have something to do other than beat the shit out of cute animals to capture them.
I’ve been enjoying the series and his character specifically. I love how empathetic he is, just trying to make everyone in his world seen and cared for. I don’t even register he’s the same guy from Stranger Things to be honest. Hope the show sticks the landing.
Eh, it makes sense for Steam share, this data is entirely gaming users. It would be a mistake to try to relate this to overall market share though.
Piracy if you absolutely must.
It always blows my mind how much of a heel JKR is. All billionaires are bastards, but you have to be among the worst people on earth to use your billions to be a high profile bigot.
We all need more Le Guin in our lives.
Yeah, I picked that up, but is that so novel it can’t just be a layer on DBus or something? Again, I don’t know shit, it’s just rich IPC seems like a solved problem at this point.
This is cool, love to see the Haiku / BeOS lineage playing nice with Linux. The graphics stack is ripe for experimentation in the KMS/Wayland era, although I don’t have enough knowledge of the architectural differences to know why this makes sense as an alternate stack and not just a compatibility layer built into a Wayland compositor…
My dad likes Dire Straits, Clapton, The Police, Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison. I know a few more from what he’s told me later in life, but those were the casettes/CDs he had around when I was a kid.
When I was a teen I tried to introduce him to the Pixies, but he looked like I was making his ears bleed.
It was my mom that introduced me to Pink Floyd though, which is really the only musical common ground I have with my parents (although I will definitely get whiskey drunk and belt out Dire Straits on occasion, or sing along to Orbison).
If it helps, the show really deep dives the consequences of that, and really all of Barry’s actions.
Calling Downton Abbey a soap opera is pretty uncharitable. Soap opera implies melodrama - stereotypical characters and long, drawn out, unsubtle plots. Downton is written and acted far too well to be a soap opera IMO.
The big issue with this show is the writing isn’t good enough to be better than GoT and it’s trying to pull off the same epic scale story.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a hundred times more fun. Westeros is a great setting and telling a smaller story with self-deprecating humor means the show isn’t constantly getting compared to GoT.
