The difference this time is that the Doctor’s queerness isn’t just a side note. It’s central to the story now, undeniable in ways that bigots watching back home can no longer refute, no matter how much they might try.

That’s the guts of the article, since it acknowledges this has been in place since Russel T Davies’ first season as lead writer in the mid 2000s. The part I liked about it is the classic sci-fi method of making it seem absurd to the main characters that the people in the past would think this is scandalous. Other than that it was an all-round good episode with a fun story.

Good to see more coverage on how frail phone numbers are as a security layer, we need to push for more secure ways of doing 2FA.

Here’s the FFmpeg documentation for x264, an open source h.264 encoder: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264

So the encoding strategy is tunable for an encoder, but also there are different implementations that might perform differently. They all produce a h.264 video stream that’s decodable by any standard player.

A/C what you did there…

Maybe that’s what the baby dinosaurs last ate?

Nicely played! There were some lucky moments that could have gone either way but you made use of what you had.

Mandatory 3 stops would limit strategy fairly tightly, hopefully after the sprint they’ll allow 2 stops as an option.

Is “up” in between left and right, or is it the thumb button? Do people have different preferences with that?

“Was”? The title is in present tense. No matter how you read it, I hope everything is consensual.

Hi, and welcome to the future. San Dimas, California, 2688. And I’m telling you, everything is great. The air is clean, the water is clean. Even the dirt… is clean!

Wow, they’re gambling a lot that people won’t migrate to a FOSS fork.

Looks great! I built a controller recently too, just wanted to mention that I used the open source GP2040-CE on a Raspberry Pi Pico and it works great, it involved a bit of soldering wires with different connectors together, but there are now custom RP2040 controller boards that can run it and are plug-and-play.

I tried to play Ultra Sun using only my starter Rowlet, and had to put it down when the game forced me into a double battle. I would have been okay with hatching a second Rowlet from an egg but it didn’t work.

NOR getting a favored pitstop call might have compromised PIA’s race. There will be questions asked and let’s hope we get good answers.

I was angry when it happened, but seeing PIA’s pace afterwards, it was an okay decision. If they weren’t teammates NOR would have got past him eventually with the powerful DRS, and if they didn’t do the undercut they would have had to do an on-track swap to avoid both drivers losing time.

Frustrating but promising for Alpha Tauri, if Ricciardo had a clean start he may have finished in the points given the race pace.

I don’t think anyone broke the rules of this race given the lack of specific investigations against drivers, but I heard on the commentary that there was going to be a general investigation?

In the past we’ve had minimum sector times at the end of the lap, which in this case world have presumably forced Russell out to start his final lap a little sooner.

A lot of rock operas do this, Ayreon is one of my favourite projects here.

You misunderstand, OP was calling you Mexico

Nice work, I’ve used Linux desktops a lot and still don’t really know much about the mobile UIs.

Seems like all of these things are almost there, and just need a guide on what a fully set-up mobile desktop looks like. But it’s frustrating when you suddenly need to understand the internals to fix something simple. Hope you’re still having fun!
