My theory is Uncle Sam's fingerprints are on high east coast gas prices. Giving it away for nothing has to put pressure on Russia's LNG export income. The donkeys that head Origin, etc. are on board because they can gouge the home market as compensation, knowing (as part of the deal) that Canberra won't contemplate a reservation policy.

TNG 3x03 The Survivors. Trek works just as well when introspective personal drama gets priority over the science fiction.

One of these days I'll post my maiden TNG viewing notes...

The mod posted a Stalin-style ideological purge thread. Oh dear.

Activity in other communities is irrelevant. This is a shitty R_ddit habit I'd like to see everyone on Lemmy drop.

You need to formally complain to your bank, OP.

You'll find that these professions have a vested interest in maintaining network effects, and as such will view Mast/Blue as threats to their networking infrastructure. They don't want to dilute the importance of the platform their patronage systems rely on (let alone destroy it) - in fact its centrality is why they leverage it to advance their careers. Artists I can see understanding platform agnosticism to some extent, but for the other two groups, it's simply not in their DNA. The gatekeeping is a feature for them.

'The medium is the message' as a Canadian theorist once said.

It takes an odd set of political priorities to misunderstand what's going on in Last Battlefield. The writers clearly lay out why they're both to blame.

Her reaction was understandable and entirely predictable. The episode does an elegant job illustrating that sometimes the new life form's nature is beyond the capcity of our species' wiring to cope with.

Lots of banned artist and album names that will return zero results, unless you do something like search for a song or two that's on the album you want and finding the data that way.

The only objectionable hurdles are the insurmountable ones

Last Christmas I gave a family member a flash drive containing ~10 high quality movie encodes, basically a shortlist of the year's personal highlights I think they'd enjoy too. I don't know if they've used it, but I'm going to make a habit of it until I hear otherwise. A drive for a handful movies is cheap enough to not worry about if it's never seen again. Give them a large capacity drive however, or access to a Plex server, and paralysis of choice occurs.

 

It's worth going in blind. But for the impatient, here's an insightful review: https://www.themoviedb.org/review/5cc25a01c3a3681e6b805326

 

Protector of arresting color palettes. Spiritual sponsor of NPBs. Discarder of crepes.

 

This film's second act has a stereotype/racial epithet montage that will always be funny.

Since about Plasma 6 onward I've been getting system restarts when attempting to play back video files and/or seek through them.

Kernel 6.5.0-41

KDE neon 6

Plasma 6.1.2

Qt 6.7.0

Ryzen 7 3700x CPU

AMD R9 390 GPU

16GB DDR4 RAM

The system will crash and reboot when:

  • Attempting to play any video with an mp4 container (mpv and vlc tested)
  • Attempting to seek with the mouse while playing most videos (mp4 and matroska)
  • Scrolling too fast in a file manager
  • Clicking and dragging to resize various windows (terminal, browsers, etc)

The system performs fine when:

  • Playing videos in a webm container
  • Playing videos in software like avidemux, kdenlive, gwenview, etc.
  • Streaming video in a web browser

The issue has persisted through these toubleshooting measures:

  • Update to latest BIOS firmware
  • Switching between Wayland and X11
  • Substitution of the PSU to a brand new unit

My assumption so far is that it's not hardware related. Currently I suspect it's Plasma. Below is the journal output of records around one such crash time of 5.19-5.20pm:

Suggestions for next steps would be welcome. Is it worth considering a rollback to the previous/older Plasma versions? Assuming Plasma doesn't like my DAC or keyboard or whatever, is it worth substituting or removing USB devices?

 

First of all, Monos is a film set in the jungle, so you know it's already good (see Raiders, Jurassic Park, Sorcerer, Predator, Apocalypto, etc.). Secondly, Landes has an eye for scene composition and potent metaphor. Thirdly, it gets awfully good performances out of a mostly amateur cast.
