  • I am talking about Europe now:

    we need trains. We need to unify the rail systems (rail width and electrical tensions) and the ticket systems. Europe could be easily served using a network of night train routes.

    I think there should be way more political discourse about rail in the EU, but, for example in Italy, airports have been used as electoral campaigning devices.





  • Finished episode 8 right now: masterpiece.

    <Episode 8 spoilers>

    Never seen a manipulated crowd action so clear AND enticing on screen as in this episode.

    And I know I was meant to, but DAMN! that “Who are you?” made me feel sorry for Cyril. Also the final shot of the mother watching the Imperial narrative on TV together with her friends hits so hard, especially being someone living abroad without TV since 20 years and seeing my mother doing just that in front of TV news every time I am back visiting.

    I will continue in one hour with my opinion on Episode 9.




  • No.

    They are all terrible movies, with droid-like performances, plot holes the size of a Sarlacc pit and effects and fight choreographies as pointless as the little pistons on the exterior of a surrogate hand.

    Mark Hamill should be ashamed of agreeing to participate in them, even more to compensate the fact that apparently Ford cannot help himself from doing it here and in the Indy movies.


  • Two weeks in switching from Windows to Linux and I never once needed to use the equivalent of Task Manager.

    It may well have been beginner’s optimism, but still, it did feel strange, so strange indeed that I started wondering whether Linux Mint even had one and I got promptly reassured in my perception by the fact that instead of being named Task Manager (you act with it), it is named System Monitor (you observe with it).




  • Here where I am the only such places left are meant for Lan parties and populated by veeery competitive people.

    I started playing multiplayer (directly to Warzone) for the first time in my life during the pandemic. I play only once a week if the 3 of us are online. I can organize a farewell party and that’s it.

    As a game, CoD/Warzone is terrible, the anti-cheat is iffy as well. I am a patient gamer who loves indie games, stuff like most Devolver games.

    I won’t miss it. It’s more of a “tell your friends you grew up” problem.
