  • What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't?

    Jump

  • I can understand even though I like it! I believe it's because of the philosophical question I ask myself when watching it. I find the concept fascinating. Is the other you really you, or is one a slave. Notably with Helly when her innie don't want to work for Lumon.

  • What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't?

    Jump

  • Breaking bad, soprano, dexter!For the last two because it's too slow paced! Breaking bad I believe having watched first season but couldn't get into it.

    I watch the last of us but a lot episodes are also slow paced and if it wasn't for short seasons and not watching it alone probably I would have dropped it.

    At last house of dragons! Would really want to like it as it's my kind of show.

  • Stranger Things 5 | Official Teaser | Volume 1: November 26 , Volume 2: December 25, Finale: December 31

    Jump

  • Yes, make no sense to me why they don't release it weekly. It would make more sense. Especially with episodes more than 90 minutes long...

  • What's your ideal TV series length and style?

    Jump

  • IMHO long ago pacing was better. You had 20-24 episodes with a pause mid season. Airing date would start in october and ends in april/may or something like that. You didn't have to wait more than 8 months to get next season.

    Nowadays what would be ideal in my point of view would be :

    • 8 to 12 episodes to allow for more development
    • release each weeks and not all at once (thankfully a lot of network still do that) so you can reflect and discuss about episodes. It makes tv shows more memorable. Back then it was nice when lost aired each week and you had plenty of theories flying around!
    • pretend season 1 and 2 are actually season 1 part 1 and 2 if it doesn't ends with first part. Release second part something like 3-4 months instead of at best a year later.
    • if show works and network is up to another season decide it before part 1 ends so there is a 10–12 months maximum wait after part 2 ends.

    Yes basically not a lot different as before!But Sadly it's unlikely as doing small season minimize risks if shows is not working.

  • Extension To Exempt Local Sites From Https Security Warning Dialog?

    Jump

  • I believe it's already a settings for firefox https only mode. You can add exceptions.Besides if by local you mean local hosted then firefox on my home computer doesn't warn me about local hosted site not using HTTPS.

  • How to revert to an earlier version of an app?

    Jump

  • IMHO you need to use adb to force install older version. Something like :adb install -r -d myapp.apk

    Look it up! It should be possible to use termux on phone and connect wirelessly to your own phone to access adb. Or you have to use another device to connect to your phone.

    Of course simpler solution is being able to backup settings and data, uninstall then install older version and restore data.

  • Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 20]

    Jump

  • Is there no more dedicated posts about anime of the week ? It was nice to have it so you could check which anime performed well and might be interesting to pick up if you weren't already watching. I miss those posts !

  • Kowloon Generic Romance - Episode 7 discussion

    Jump

  • Glad I started watching this. I tried because it was tagged as sci-fi but didn't really look like it and I was dubious about it being something I would enjoy. Yet I really dig the mistery around second Kowloon and it's inhabitants. I wonder what would really happen to "real" people eating Kowloon foods.

    I checked manga and it has not ended. So anime won't be either when current season ends. Hope it won't be a let down and that they will adapt all of it. 🤞

  • KDE su won’t remember password

    Jump

  • Will it asks for confirmation with a dialog (which would be nice) or will it behave like no password is needed?

  • Does Europe Need Its Own Social Media Platforms?

    Jump

  • What is sad is that if every governmental administration was switching to fediverse and especially stopped to use x/twitter it would create a move to mastodon.I think people would start to follow and it would make it more plausible that one day fediverse would be the main networks used. More so if governments were supporting development in any way.

  • Just saw this by chance: Donations and Patrons for Lemmy development surged massively on Liberapay in the last weeks!

    Jump

  • Dev posted few weeks ago about donations being a little short and having lowered making it more difficult to support development. A lot of people then started to donate or increase their financial support.

    Edit : for reference https://lemmy.ml/post/29579005

  • Dont fret, Linux is here...

    Jump

  • Nop, it's french!

  • What helps people get comfortable on the command line?

    Jump

  • What helps me is to understand what commands acronym means. For instance cp for copy, mkdir for make directory, blkid for block id, ls for list (not too sure about actual meaning for s) and so on!

    Nice tips about ctrl+r to search in command history. Was not aware it existed!

  • Lemmy needs more donations

    Jump

  • What do you mean? They are also free and if anything running lemmy cost them!?

  • Netflix's 3 Body Problem Seasons 2 and 3 Get Exciting Filming Update

    Jump

  • Hope there will be a China version -> they did one for first book, before Netflix released their own. It was much longer (30 episodes) and in what I remembered from the book did a pretty good job adapting it. Netflix changed a lot of things and condensed it a lot. Reading the book you would ask yourself a lot why some thing happened, how it was possible and if it really was what you were hinted to think.

  • The first folding e-reader is smaller than a paperback

    Jump

  • I guess this way you can also use it for manga or any other medium that sometimes use both page to display something.

  • Just a random thought, if there is a need for privacy wouldn't it be possible to create public / private encryption key for users so messages can be encrypted and exchanged.

    This way what would be public is that there's an exchange but nobody would be able to know what was said. It would make it at least message content private.

    To make it a step further could exchange between servers also use it to encrypt which users exchange private message. I am thinking it could make it fully private then. Only sender and receiver servers could know which users were private messaging.

  • What are things that mildly annoy you in SciFi?

    Jump

  • Best explanation was in Fargate tv shows.

    When MC find himself to other side of galaxy in alien spaceships with prisoners escaping he is injected by a little icon robot with nanobot (or something like that) enabling him to understand any language.Just before he is injected other characters are speaking alien and you don't understand them and gradually (but in a matter of 15/30 secs) after injection you start to hear aliens speaking English. I believe they even specifically speak about the technology.

    Look at Species of Farscape #8 – Translator Microbes it is explained better and there is a short video. Too bad you don't see him injected/shot but you got alien explaining how it works.
