  • 'The Expanse' at 10: The Outer Space Drama That Should Have Been as Big as ‘Game of Thrones’

    Jump

  • Well again because of budget cuts.

    All the bit fights were done in minutes which if they had budgets and episodes would have been 30 min battles.

    Rocinante vs Zameya Pella, Lauber, Gannicus vs Rocinante 1st battle for Medina Station 2nd battle for Medina Station

    They all deserved more screnetime and I'll be honest, they needed some more exposition too, my wife didn't understand it right away.

    But all of those were done well all things considered. Key moments were shown, just enough information was given either through dialogues or shots showing what's happening, it just required so much attention and by the time you figure out what last shot was trying to say, show showed a mmfew more things.

    But I still think given time and budget constraints, Naren Shankar did a fantastic job with last season.

  • Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life

    Jump

  • You put it back in the pot of honey, the thing is supposed ot perpetually sit in honey pot.

    I don't like it either, just explaining how it's supposed to work.

  • My account turned 18 I think 4 months ago.

  • There are first person shooters and third person shooters, but what about second person shooters?

    Jump

  • All games are second person. Because second person is you we don't mention it because it would be boring, first and second person shooter or second and third person shooter. Don't have the same ring and wastes words. Technically top down and second person RTS would be long ass genre name.

  • Some good news in these troubling times.

  • Show HN: I made a tool to make PDFs look scanned because bureaucracy

    Jump

  • It's for scanned from phone, with those pdf makers.

    My bank recently did this non sense where I signed the document using pen of my tablet and they said I must print it and sign it and send scanned copy of that. This tool would've been handy, because I had to walk 30 mins to a library in -2c and back to print a stupid document. Whats the point of physical signature if you don't demand a physical copy of the said signature. In hindsight I should've use gimp to make it look scanned. But this toll would've worked then.

  • How Google Disabled Movie Reviews at the Request of Film Studios

  • Medium was AI slop before AI slop.

  • Is it normal to be really sentimental/upset over a bowl I accidentally smashed? I had it since I was 17 (am 30 now) and my boyfriend was alive back then too.

    Jump

  • Of course forming attachment to things that rest of the world might consider mundane is pretty normal and we all do it. Nothing unnatural or out of place for that and totally understandable. I understand sadness over a broken bowl. I worry that breaking of bowl is self inflicted.

    In hindsight, I misunderstood OP's question. I think I understand and agree with your points.

    Jump

  • I'm sorry to say this, and I know it's unpopular opinion, but there are healthier way to deal with emotions than breaking things. I know in your case it's perfectly valid and normal response. But in OP's case whacking things off the shelf, we have a choice not to lat emotions take you there. It's like an addict saying I can't help but steal for my hit. Its the same thing I can't help but whack things when I'm angry.

  • India is ordering Apple and Android phone makers to preinstall a state-owned app

    Jump

  • From my dealings with Indian govt, more likely they'll abandon it at some point. But yes trusting a government is always a difficult task.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

    Jump

  • Only so much heat can be radiated away.

  • India is ordering Apple and Android phone makers to preinstall a state-owned app

    Jump

  • What governments should be requiring is, making bootloader unlockable and making firmware for all antennas, camera and buttons public. Realistically I think it's too much to hope from any government.

    That being said this Sanchar Sarthi app doesn't look so bad at a glance. Looks like a okay ish attempt at giving population tools to fight identity theft and phishing/scamming with some questionable success. Also the app supposedly doesn't collect any data.

  • It would be so funny if China colonizes Mars, then the Martian Colonists declare independence, and Mars become a new bastion of Freedom and Prosperity.

    Jump

  • Yeah but in expanse it's implied global government through UN was formed first and then the colonies. So it wasn't a single country's colony.

  • Any guesses?

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

    Jump

  • Mint is fine, Ubuntu sucks ass, don't use that. Zorin OS is also fine.

  • ‘Foundation’, season 4, to kick off extensive Prague shoot in January 2026 for Apple TV+

    Jump

  • Well brother Dusk will surprise you. Also honestly even brother dawn has his moments in season 3, weeks before before his ascension.

  • Its a curse for sure

    Jump

  • Wasn't the situation the same when explicitly "party of the educated and common people". I don't think the problem is ruling class vs common class. Not religious fascists or whatever is your classification of current government.
