I sat down to watch it, then realized during the recap that I'd bailed 3 episodes into season 2. I might go back... Might not bother. It's GOT without the characters that made GOT worth watching.

I find this image hilarious, but Dr. Who is so wholesome most of the time it's hard for me to imagine Sisko getting more than mildly annoyed by his antics.

This is definitely about the D language, I just haven't heard anything about in a long time (since Rust ate its lunch) and nothing about it using AI or long time devs leaving.

Was there drama with D? I'm out of the loop...

I think M-M-Monster Kill is more appropriate, even if it's just one guy.

Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?

Almost never. Bumping the minimum architecture version and optimization levels is all well and good, but unless you're doing tons of vector oriented workloads it's not going to qualitatively make a difference.

I bounced off Stalker 2 at launch because of bugs, but revisited earlier this year and had a ton of fun with the 90% of the game that is open world scavenging, stealth and combat. The only thing that sucks are some of the boss fights.

Nothing takes me out of being a sneaky, resourceful Stalker more than being forced to drop into an arena, or have a door magically lock behind me, and not being able to advance the story without either beating some bullet sponge or reloading a save from an hour before to change my load out/get more ammo etc and redo it.

I wish they would take more of a Deus Ex approach, where you can action hero your way through if you want, but with some clever/thorough playing you could significantly nerf the boss fights. The game even pretends to do this, but ultimately your choices have no bearing on the bosses.

I'll check this out, love Ro Laren / Michelle Forbes...

However this site had a "duel" between Spock and Porthos for best crew member and it just made me laugh. The legendary first officer of the original Enterprise that saved Earth countless times or a cheese loving dog famous for causing diplomatic incidents by pissing on sacred trees... Tough one.

Haha, I have the same feeling for opposite reasons. I grew up in a warmer environment but kept my feet against the cool exterior wall my bed was next to. Now I have to have my feet uncovered and a fan on just to feel comfortable and tucked in sheets feel like I'm trapped.

Being human, eh?

I have enjoyed it so far. Horror and comedy is tough to mix but this show has gotten me spooked a couple of times and gotten me to laugh my ass off a few times too. Nice balance.

All I know is that Sisko, Bashir, and O'Brien all identify Section 31 as non-Starfleet assholes that need to be stopped at all costs. Discovery has Pike practically saluting Section 31 genocidal Empress Georgiou and revering the black badges in a way I'll never forgive it for.

 

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...
