Personally, I actually enjoyed it. It had that 90s nostalgic vibe, and I liked it.
However, the renewed 25 years later season felt like Lynch was mocking the audience (or was high on something). The season was boring as fck, story was bad and made no sense. None of the loose ends from the original show were resolved. The acting was so bad, I actually wanted to give it up after the first episode. And he didn't even give us what we wanted to see more of... Detective Cooper. Instead we got braindead cooper and evil doppleganger cooper for all but the last few minutes of the season. And for some weird reason, every episode ended on some bad recording of a live song that had nothing to do with the show.
I gave up on it once, and then continued at a later date. I felt that the mid seasons were a bit of a grind, but the last season goes up to 11 with an extremely satisfying ending.
I watched the first 2 seasons or so. It felt like all the clichés from all the zombie movies put together in a single show, but worse.
This sounds oddly similar to the early days of SS which started as an organized bunch of goons serving the nazi party as security guards.
And Trump is trying to kill it. Has Intel even said thank you?
Recently downloaded a "cast" app because Miracast doesn't work on GrapheneOS. On first launch, I got 3 consecutive full screen video ads followed by a popup to "subscribe" to their paid service. Next, another popup to rate them 5* in google play store. Note that at this point, I haven't even reached the main screen of the app... You know, to actually try it and see if it works.
Uninstalled that garbage and gave it the 1* rating it deserves.
Seriously, I'm so sick and tired of these "modern" apps which don't even have the decency to offer a good quality paid version. $8/mo for a stupid utility I use maybe a few times a year? Who tf do you think you are?
Using apps on GrapheneOS, I also get notified when they use the play integrity API... I find it insulting when apps like Reddit attempt to access that... Seriously, you're just an online forum. Why tf would you care about whether my phone is rooted or not?
Corrected, that's what I meant
He's not acting alone. He might be stupid, but there are people behind him with an agenda and a plan they've been cooking for years.
The US is just one country out of ~190 with a population of 300m out of 7b. Losing some exports to the US will sting a bit, but in the grand scheme it's nothing.
The US needs to get its head out of its ass and realize its not as important as it thinks.
On a similar note, the old testament had a historical purpose - to unite disparate tribes and create a national identity against the threat posed by the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.
The new testament is just a collections of writings and letters. We have no idea who wrote them, they lied on the cover saying the texts are written by the apostles. And by a pretty arbitrary process, a bunch of priests picked their favorite writings and made them into a cannon.
If the same thing happened today, nobody would believe them outside maybe a fringe cult.
History tells us probably not. Did the US pay anything for the extermination of native americans? Or for the generations of people who lived in slavery? Did Turkey pay for the Armenian genocide? Did Russia pay for the millions of people killed in gulags and the Holodomor?
Above a certain height, trucks should be mandated to have the engine behind, like eurotrucks.
While I agree this is a shit thing to do, I am looking forward to the influx of cheap hardware.
both pretty extreme
Dictatorships are dictatorships, regardless of the political ideology. Both sides did horrible things, like purging intellectuals and anyone seen as a potential threat, mass murder of entire social groups, maintaining informant networks to instil fear etc.

That won't work, because you see... When you are born rich, your parents know people who can make any crime go away. When you are not born rich, you don't get that privilege and you will get made an example.
But converting from a format to another is a lossy process. It's best to just keep whatever original format you have, unless you are creating the images yourself.
Only downside is that only data that people care about right now is being saved. But what seems useless now might become valuable in the future. It's hard to grasp how much data has been forgotten on some old computers, or some CDs, or websites that have gone dark.
Making a movie by taking advantage of a tragedy in which thousands of people lost their homes and some even their lives is in poor taste. Many of these people are vulnerable and don't have a safety net, they won't be able to rebuild their lives after this.
Remember how The Creator got backlash for using footage of the Beirut explosion?
