  • This sums up my opinion of the new Assassins Creed. It's a beautiful world but half the time I can't actually see anything because I'm either blinded by sunlight or shaded by darkness.

  • Money also gives you access to resources to help you recover quickly and effectively.

    Money also brings positive attention.

    In another universe Musk is just a lonely incel. But as a billionaire there's an endless line of celebrities, gold diggers, porn stars, prostitutes etc lining up to please his every whim.

  • Yep, I'm with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

    Bluefin's main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I've tried to get devcontainers working and they just don't.

  • As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

    However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can "rebase" from one to another.

    With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there's a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.

  • Well the "AI" we have today doesn't think, it has no intelligence, it simply recycles things it's heard before

  • Free certificates have existed for a long time now from providers like Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL.

  • They did an incredibly job finding unique filming locations across Northumberland.

    The opening scenes are filmed in the maintenance tunnel beneath the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/UypK6WEymBMgVwTp9

    The island scenes are filmed on Lindisfarne/Holy Island, although it looks like they'd heavily edited the layout and re-arranged it https://maps.app.goo.gl/HwWQGx6Ciqtqusoq6

    River scenes are filmed at Plankey Mill / Allen Banks and Stawards Gorge https://maps.app.goo.gl/d5xcQ961bk9yA5p79

    Lindisfarne again. Note the castle has been removed from the background.

    I'm not sure where the beach scene is. I'm not aware of a forest right on a sandy beach like this in Northumberland so I suspect it might be heavily edited. They were filming at Matthews Linn in Kielder Forest so there's a possibility it is here: https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=55.20521%7E-2.563028&lvl=17.4&style=h

    I have no idea where the abandoned house is. They were filming somewhere along the Forest Drive at Kielder so it could be in that area.

    The stony beach is just below Hawkhope Car Park by the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/YNrGnMepoeeF1fVP8

    1:14 https://youtu.be/IYGG55qwQZQ?t=74

    The following scene with the high concrete walls are filmed inside the spillway beside the dam. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9h2aoLdx9hXfMDdh7

    They re-painted this abandoned petrol station at Knowesgate to become the Happy Eater. This is my personal favourite because despite them going for a dystopian, abandoned aesthetic they literally made it look better. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HnfEDbE3nGbxviQ57

  • Possibly because it's presented how news used to be - a simple statement of fact without embellishment or click bait.

    Would you rather:

    You won't BELIEVE how this weapon built by British boffins can yeet hundreds of Russian drones from the sky in seconds

  • Even that's more steps than necessary.

    Just serve your website with Caddy and it handles certs for you. The config is absolutely trivial compared to Apache, nginx, etc

  • If you're truly unaware of why TLS is necessary or how to automate the process then you should probably retire.

    Archaic attitudes like yours are precisely why these restrictions are necessary.

  • Labour aren't smart though. They believe FPTP gives them an advantage and thus we're destined to misery under the conservatives as soon as the party gathers together the resources to bribe farage into disbanding reform

  • That's honestly fine. Everybody deserves fair representation.

    If we'd had PR a decade ago and the disenfranchised had had a voice in parliament then perhaps we never would have been dragged out of the EU.

  • It was a great show.

    Rob was a little weird in the first few episodes. It felt like he was still playing Mac just in another context. It didn't take long for /Iron/ to become his own character though and the rest of the cast are superb.

  • Boost has user tagging as well.

    Only issue is the tag and report dialogs look exactly alike and multiple times I've unknowingly clicked report in error. I'm kinda surprised I never got criticised for abusing the report function when all I've written is "pro-russia" or "idiot"

  • Perhaps it wasn't true the books then, but movie Snape was a believable age to have been at school at the same time as Harry's parents. It's just for whatever reason the author made the parents ridiculously young

  • "Mirror, signal, manoeuvre" is what we're taught in the UK. So according to our highway code you're acting correctly,but obvs that may be different elsewhere.

    Basically you only signal after you've confirmed there is space and that it is safe to do so, therefore the time between indicating and actually acting is minimal.

    The main problem you see is some people drive aggressively and use signalling as a demand that others make space for them, move out of their way etc. That's not how it's meant to work.

  • Alan Rickman was the absolute perfect casting for Snape. Nobody else could have brought him to life so well and so true to the books.

    Of the entire film cast I think everyone could have been replaced except for Snape, therefore it does make sense to be bold and try something different in his casting for the new show.

  • Indeed.

    For many of us Harry Potter was a significant part of our childhoods. It's a great story with a satisfying ending. There was incredible excitement for each book, and the films weren't bad either.

    The world is already miserable enough I'm not willing to expunge something that has brought me joy.

    We absolutely should denounce JK Rowling and her abhorrent statements. I have no idea why people continue to give her a platform. She's one of the names on my filter list because I refuse to let her vile thoughts be given any of my attention.

  • I suspected that to be the case but left it somewhat open for the user to provide a source
