I’ve also seen it in the meantime and I found it pretty good as well. Nice work and in some parts quite close to the books - which I personally don’t need but it’s still nice to see.

Mat’s storyline is still quite intriguing. Really like him in general this season but he’s still on some pretty mysterious paths.

(Wanted to write a few more thoughts from me in the comments when I find the time.)

First impression: Worth it.

Some thoughts to episode 1 in no special order (caution spoilers):

• I really like the set and the costumes, they are perfect. They were not bad in the previous seasons, but they are getting better and better
• Even though the scene itself was great, I’m not quite sure what to make of the Black Ajah fight. To me the balance of power doesn’t seem quite right, Suan in particular just seems weaker than she should be in my opinion
• I liked what they did with Aviendha and Elayne, but I’m not a fan of Rand and Egwene still being together at this point. They should have wrapped that up and used the time to really start to build up the relationship with Elayne (not that there wasn’t anything, I just would have preferred a bit more direct approach). But we will see where they are going with that. Even though I liked the general idea behind Rand’s love life in the books, it is also one of the points with the greatest potential for improvement in the realisation.
• Love Mat, he is great
• Moghedien is reeeeaaaaly creepy and thats good
• It’s great to see how Rand is for once evading all influence and unexpectedly goes his own way. I also think it’s very smart from a story perspective. It’s been a while since I read the books, but I don’t think it ever made sense to me that Callandor came before the Aiel waste

Definitely a good start, I’m looking forward to see how it will go on. Hope to find time for episode two soon.

And will be for ever.

Me too, really looking forward to it.

Yeah, unfortunately there’s not much going on here.

Crossposting is a good suggestion, though. I did it directly with the post here.

And here as well. I decided never to mention it. It’s just how it is, don’t question the laws of science.

Depends on what you expect. I liked it, but I didn’t have too many problems with season 1 either (well, except for the last episode).

The show is clearly its own thing and does a lot of things differently. Imho not worse, just different. But for those who were hoping that the series would follow the books closely, I fear that the show will never be good.

While some of the arguments are true, this blog post mainly reads like an ad for hyperland and it propably is just that.

I don’t use autotools anymore for any of my private projects. It’s plain Makefiles for me simple and easy. But I usualy only target Linux.

Wait? What?

Wouldn‘t it be the best thing to make election day a nation wide holiday? Could keep the tradition while also actually allowing people to vote. I doubt that productivity is high on these days nevertheless.

Has this ever been discussed?

Really hope they find the caller and bring him to court. I mean both streamer and police are the victims here.

At least it hasn’t been a actual SEK unit (SWAT in Germany) they look more like normal patrol officers. But nevertheless it’s unacceptable.

Thats the term Stallman came up with when the first distributions (esspecially Debian) started to build up. It wasnt really popular even back than so he setteled in GNU/Linux as alternative which to this day is in the name of quit a lot distributions.

It was never the plan/intend to rename the Linux kernel itsself to either of those terms.

Interresting list, thanks.

Regarding the Firefox Wayland variable, it should be possible to add the line in ~/.profile instand. And that file can simple be opend by showing hidden files in the file manager of choice.

Ubuntu (in VM, a few months) -> Linux Mint (1 year) -> Archlinux (2 years) -> Ubuntu (1 year) -> Fedora (2 years) -> Linux Mint Debian (3 years) -> Debian (5+ years for now)

I have had a desktop PC and a laptop for a few years now. The laptop had Mint (DE) for 2 years longer.

That should be more or less it, makes about 14 years on GNU/Linux now.

I‘m not sure if I like this. I use Matrix for a couple of years now and to be honest the more I use it the more I hate it.

Everything just feels slow, clunky and some basic things are quite complicated to archive and some functionality just does not work.
All that was okay for me in the beginning but it never got better.

IRC and XMPP also had their problems but I often wish them back nowadays.

I guess it’s because US laws likes to pretend to be in force world wide … which they are not.
