I first read of him in Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything (fantastic book). It really shows how awful this man was.
I also love this quote from the wiki article on his legacy -
He “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”.
Lol Heroes reference?
I have to deal with tons of app issues in work, from users of Samsung and Xiaomi. I would honestly never buy either brand.
They are both filled with proprietary garbage, you have to use workarounds to try and disable and even then, these two companies are some of the worst for simply ignoring the workarounds and overriding them.
While my personal opinion is that the ending was very silly lol, I would still highly recommend Sense8 overall (original idea was just awesome). I thought it was just such a lovely show at times, could make you laugh and cry. Really highlights how empathy is fundamental.
Came to say Serenity (it’s just a great end, tying up a main plot point and a small background plot point, with a fantastically emotional end) but since that is already top of the list I will go with a terrible one.
Sense8.
Started out as pretty great series, I absolutely adored the first series. I felt the quality was there even if super cheesy at parts. Then the 2nd series happened and soon after, news it was cancelled. The quality had dropped quite a lot but still not terrible. Then they were given the opportunity to do a 2 n a half hr special to tie up loose ends.
It was massively rushed, the quality was completely gone, some of the characters just acted so different from how they had been previously and some were barely in it.
To be honest, I think I am still grateful, at least we got a resolution but sometimes i remember how sucky it was, i think perhaps they should have just left it on a high (even though it had already started to falter in the 2nd series)
Fun fact - In the film The Bodyguard, Whitney Houston plays a famous singer who’s being stalked and her new bodyguard, Kevin Costner’s character, brings her to one of his bars… a country n western place. They dance to the Dolly Parton song and this is kinda the start of their relationship and they fall in love.
Fast forward to the end, and Whitney Houston’s character decides to cover the song in a new album and goes on tour and it’s a massive hit.
Good film by the way, worth a watch even it’s a bit cheesy. The stalker guy is actually lowkey terrifying lol
Aw yeah that makes sense actually on rereading it. I think i was going to try the Proton Bridge at first on moving to Linux but then saw it was only available via their paid version.
That put me off lol, so I’m just sticking to using it via browser and their own mobile app for now.
Just to clarify - Protonmail does have a mobile app (works great by the way, especially on Graphene)
On the off chance you haven’t tried this, you might need to try disabling the ‘phantom process killer’ from the developer options if that’s thing on your device -
To a certain degree, this has already been happening in Spain for over a year now (believe it started in 2024, possibly even 2023). Vast swathes of the internet gets blocked during games because they share the same Cloudflare IPs. It’s affected so many random businesses that have absolutely nothing to do with football.
