I think the bigger problem is that once people have watched Ted Lasso what reason is there for them to stick around?

Well, as the article is saying, Apple have lots more great shows that people aren't watching. Silo, Slow Horses, Severance - all fantastic.

If you're saying the left is better than the right these days, you are the brainwashed one.

You're right, they're just the same - I remember when Joe Biden gave a speech to whip his supporters up into a frenzy to foment a violent insurrection and overthrow the results of a fair election. And of course, that time when Joe rang up senators trying to strongarm them into finding some extra votes for him, or the time he put state secrets in his bathroom. (roll eyes)

I'm not an American, and as a European following US politics, you appear to have a one party state and a group of contrarian fascists who should all be rotting in jail cells. Instead, they're on TV, spouting hate and stupidity for the dumbest of Americans to lap up.

Suggesting that the US Republicans and Democrats are even remotely comparable is the most stupid fucking thing I've seen on this site in quite some time.

this could be set in some D&D-esque backdrop and they could have saved a lot of money on IP.

I think their thinking was that if it didn't have the LotR name on it, they wouldn't be able to justify how much they were spending because far fewer people would watch it.

Even the Tolkien fans who hated it still watched it to make sure they hated it I guess?

The most basic facts are that the world population is now over 8 billion and still rising quite fast; and that the maximum human population that the Earth can sustain indefinitely is somewhere between 500 million and 2 billion - depending on how resource-intensive a lifestyle they choose.

Is this not begging the question? How do you know that the planet can only sustain a maximum of 2 billion people? If that were the case and there are 4x as many of us as the planet can support, why are we not suffering from resource shortages that would reduce our population?

While I agree completely with your point that superhero movies have gotten samey and repetitive, Man of Steel is Superman - DC, not Marvel.

I had a very similar problem with Ubuntu and the amdgpu kernel module for newer AMD APUs, like the one in my Thinkpad T14. It also affected Chromium based apps like Slack, Skype and Spotify, and they would randomly freeze and cause a complete system hang.

I fixed it by upgrading the kernel to Ubuntu's 6.1.7 stable build. Disabling hardware acceleration in chrome://settings also works.

Firefox is better anyway!

I'm an idiot. I read megabit as megabyte. Sorry.

A 1024 by 1024 pixel display requires a megabit of memory

Only if you're using a whole byte to encode one pixel? If you use 1 bit per pixel, a 1024x1024 pixel display requires 128Kb. That's still an enormous amount of RAM by 1962 standards given that LSI and microchips had only been around for a couple of years at that point.

What? I'm a foreign observer, but from where I was watching, Trump was gargling Putin's balls the entire time he was in office. Even when out of office he commented on how astute and clever Putin was for invading Ukraine. Trump would have done shit and Ukraine would be fucked right now if Trump was still in office.

Do you Trump fans just have collective amnesia, or is it because he practices doublespeak so you can just point to whatever random bit of word salad he said once that might agree with what you think?

Do you remember that time when Ted Cruz and other Republicans went to Russia on the 4th July and no-one thought that was weird? Do you remember the time Trump had a private meeting with Putin and no secret service and no-one knows what was said? The US Republican party are liars and treasonous scumbags.

Even just using the web interface, one can make a comment, but to actually submit a pull request is not trivial and I wouldn't trust any but the highly tech savvy to do so. Git absolutely needs to be understood, even if you don't use the command line.

That's not true, you can do a pull request by simply browsing the code in the GitHub UI and editing it - there's no need to clone the repo or do anything with the command line. I've submitted numerous pull requests to projects this way because it's convenient when you're only sending very minor bug fixes.

Definition of woke:

(Entry 1 of 2)
chiefly US slang
: aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

I don't see anything about hive minds or cancel culture. Maybe you've been watching too much Fox?

When did woke become a pejorative? What exactly is wrong with giving a shit about injustice? Have you any idea how ridiculous you sound?

Frontpage! Cor, that takes me back. Is it even still a thing? I haven't touched anything Microsoft since 2008.

That's also exactly what happens with stock markets, in that new purchasers drive up the price.

Or the excessive wear on your tires which means replacing them more frequently.

Why would you have to replace tyres more frequently on an EV? I can't follow this logic.
