@plucky ridge

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

CIS is Computer Information Systems. It's more aimed at training IT or general programmers

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

ok

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Computer Science is more about the more fiddly bits regarding computers. All the really complex stuff that I just can't be asked to learn

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

what is included in it ? python?

#

CIS

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

I mean CIS can be anything from hardware to coding

#

There really isn't a specific thing

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

ok

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

I was learning Java and hardware at the time

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

ok so it teaches arduino too?

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

I mean I guess it could, but I don't know many college courses that use Arduino as teaching tools

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

oh

#

is the background plant in you pic is hemlock (the green thing)

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

I think it's just a texture rather than a thing

It's from Vampire the Masquerade

#

like this call function from this website can be explained as```
1)First it pushes the address of the next instruction, which is the return address, onto the stack.
2)Then, it modifies the instruction pointer %eip
to point to the start of the function.

@low shadow this is very readable even if you have just basic knowledge

#

i'm not sure how more understandable this can be

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

@low shadow this is very readable even if you have just basic knowledge
@rough sapphire i m telling that this is understandable

#

its very much extremely understandable

#

but this is not (lower site)

#

can someone explain how everything is a file in UNIX with some practical examples

soft violet Apr 27, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

Take a look at your /dev

#

or /proc

#

or /sys

#

Then compare that to /home /etc etc.

#

All of your enumerated hardware devices, all of your running programs, information about your running system, anything that isn't a file on a disk still has an addressable entry in the file system that can be talked to like it was a file.

#

Say there was an led light. Say then that it had an entry as /sys/led0

#

In that file, if read, it showed the number 0

#

If written to with the character 1

#

Ping! On comes the light. That file does not exist as a file on a hard drive.

#

Or say you wanted to read the incoming data from a serial port. You'd probably use /dev/ttyS0 Again...not a file on a hard drive.

Say you wanted to look up information about your CPU. /proc/cpuinfo A lot of virual ones in proc.

#

That's where those devices are mounted in the file system structure in much the same way as you would mount disk drive partitions into various places. Such as /home and /bin and /boot, depending on what can be a very variable set of circumstances, there.

#

Some are virtual files, others point to hardware, others point to files on drives.

#

@low shadow Clear as mud?

undone berry Apr 27, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Why is my 32gb usb drive showing up as 6mb in Windows? Last thing I used it for was installing Manjaro

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

what'd you use to format it?

#

chances are that whatever tool you used created multiple partitions on it and windows is having a freak out because it's a piece of shit

undone berry Apr 27, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

I don't remember the name of what I used to format it - it was quite a while ago - but I'm pretty sure it was a pretty standard thing. Is there any easy fix?

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

i think you can just use the disk manager to remove the partitions

#

failing that the partition manager command line tool will probably allow you to wipe all partitions

undone berry Apr 27, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

yeah, you're right - it shows up here

#

thanks

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

windows can't hack USB media with more than 1 partition

#

man, that's exactly how tech support should go

preferably with a fountain pen

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

For some stupid reason, QB now assumes that all QB files have a password and admin name, even if they don't

#

And that keeps you from even REPAIRING the file

soft violet Apr 27, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Have you tried a single space for each?

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

Yep

#

Or Admin with no password (which should be the default, but of course that doesn't work)

soft violet Apr 27, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

A bit of an embuggerence, then.

rough sapphire Apr 27, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

You can try your luck with password cracking software

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

this very much seems like a problem that is best solved by getting on the phone and yelling at someone on a customer support desk

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

doesn rm -rf in vmware modify .iso file in any way?

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

@rough sapphire Or I could use the legitimate password resetting software. Since this is for work and why would I ever want to possibly get malware on a company machine?

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

You are not faster than rm -rf

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

still

#

i want to try

#

does it damage .iso

#

file

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

I don't think most people here would have an answer for that, given that most people don't do things that are so obviously breaking

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

ok so i will make backup and try it

rough sapphire Apr 27, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

if you couldn't modify the iso image of a virtual machine

#

that would mean you couldn't save anything that wasn't in the image itself

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

i was running live

#

in vmware

#

so yeah not saving anything

rough sapphire Apr 27, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

but i'm trying to think that normally when you run vmware, you do end up installing software etc?

#

or do you

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

no

#

nothing

#

just i get cmdline

#

and test for overflows

rough sapphire Apr 27, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

doesn rm -rf in vmware modify .iso file in any way?
@low shadow depends entirely on how the iso is mounted

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

i was just wondering if i could rm -rf

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

virtualbox / virtualisation software mounts installation media as read only.

#

usually

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

oh i got an idea

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

oh... oh no.

#

Huh, I'll be damned

#

No wait, nevermind

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

so that /dev/sda6 becomes read-only

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Haha

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

and thus the iso in it wont be modified

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Hahaha

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

yes

rough sapphire Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

wtf

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Are you really going to try to rely on that very inconsistent ntfs behaviour

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

i cant write anything on /dev/sda6

#

when in read only

#

so yes

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Okay, let's take a moment

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:37 PM

i will rely

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 4:37 PM

WHY are you wanting to do this

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:37 PM

just to test how much fast is rm -rf

This one deletes everything as soon as you typo a command

low shadow Apr 27, 2020, 4:39 PM

what is typo

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

I think there's an Ubuntu package as well

plucky ridge Apr 27, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

When you mistype something

#

Like you say sudu instead of sudo

The definition of the word drug is so broad as to be near useless a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

are you speaking from experience, YD?

thorn snow Apr 27, 2020, 4:42 PM

@low shadow well you'd have to do it in some "play environment" but theoretically yes

undone berry Apr 27, 2020, 4:44 PM

why not complete both real and virtual education at same time (especially during free lockdown period)

undone berry Apr 27, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

I don't think thats true. The difference is that the onus to learn shifts from your teachers on to you - the shift of learning for 6hours a day to having it be entirely on you is a quite an extreme one; but both are still learning

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 4:49 PM

@low shadow you're learning to study, since you're picking up difficult topics on your own (stacks etc.) that normally don't belong to your age yet and learning them from difficult material online. that's very adult and mature behavior.

@undone berry Typically, if you take up a craft you do Hauptschule which ends around 15, or Realschule which ends around 16

#

Gymnasium is 13 years in school total

#

so around 18

just precising that I'm looking up for material for a background story
I came across the name "purple rain" for a drug, the DEA dictionary told me that its an alternate name for the PCP (Phencyclidine), but outside of the dictionary, I don't find anything about it, can anybody confirm that or not? Also, the Wikipedia said it was very popular in the 80s, is that also true?

sand goblet Apr 27, 2020, 5:44 PM

PCP was definitely popular, yeah

#

the only purple rain I know is the song

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 5:46 PM

i've never heard PCP called purple rain, usually it's something like DXM, an active compound in cough medicines

There are certainly countries in Europe that have it worse than in the UK (Hungary) - but I think there's also a lot that to a better job. The Netherlands, Germany, and even France (despite their recent protests) have things quite a bit better. I'm not denying problems, but the rest of Europe seems to at least have their politics shift over time, whereas in the UK FPTP makes change very slow

#

Yeah, France is an interesting case. It might be that all governments are shit, and I'm just more biased against my own because I'm more aware of it - I am however pretty certain that mine is shit

the writers room must look like the fucking alps

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

iirc, jonathan nolan didn't help write that one. was Lisa Joy and someone else.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

i'm not on board with the story at all but i'm totally on board with trying to keep up with the madness

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

there is some disconnect from end of season 2 to now. the arch just seemed to evolve, while we weren't looking.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

i keep getting this weird feeling they've done some time fuckery again

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

possible. though, they didn't fool me with Mr. Pinkman; saw that coming from a mile away.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

i've still got 6 and 7 to watch tonight

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

oh. i almost step across a line, then. 😄

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

to be honest how can you spoil something this fucking insane

#

i can barely believe it when it happens

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

6 & 7 are good. they're a little faster pace, story wise.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

||"oh okay paris got nuked? why? uhhh... yeah sure why not."||

#

still liking their use of music though

#

at least that's been a consistent thread in the series

#

ep 5 has some bowie in it

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

a definite strong point of the series, yes.

#

my kid caught up before s3 started. he went like 5 episodes without noticing some of his favorite songs. 😄

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

oh god i can't imagine this getting commish'd for a 4th season.

#

i think i pretty much got all of them in S1/2

#

i think i'm missing some in 3

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

actually, i think s4 was confirmed last week.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:43 PM

s4: they're all in space now for some reason and robots are people but people are robots now.

#

i dunno if it's like a sunken cost thing or what that's keeping me watching

#

i think it is mostly to see what crazy shit they do next

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

i mean, s1&2 are hands down some of the best TV as of late.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

yeah, i liked that TV show

#

you know

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

imo, of course.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

Westworld

#

it was all... westerny.

#

it does feel like a different show

#

although i guess it is still sticking to a lot of its themes on what it is to be / freewill / etc

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

it does. shifting the core cast, especially this core cast, will undoubtedly do that. having to back-track, develop new characters, while expanding the diverging-but-parallel characters has been rough this season. no other way to do it, though. overall, i'm not feeling let down. except ep5, maybe. hehe

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

i do quite like how ||it seems they flipped it on 'em, switch mode, what with the humans being the robots. like... meatsackworld; a park for robots.||

#

kind of predictable but still good.

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

hehe. that's kind of the part that i feel we missed in the transition from 2->3.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

indeed

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

but, i like non-linear storytelling, so i give it a bit of a pass.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:52 PM

tv programs as mental jigsaws

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:52 PM

i would def have beers+ with those guys.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

||black hat man being in it still is great. bill or w/e||

#

i could probably have a couple of beers with them

#

but after too long i'd demand to know if leo is in a dream

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

yeah. ed harris was a perfect cast for that role.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

i'd probably get fighty about it too

ikr. like, just as leathery as clint eastwood, but without the skeleton-look.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

yeah

#

and actual eyes

#

rather than the eyes of a cockerel

#

embedded in the face of a man

pine vector Apr 27, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

although, ed harris couldn't call someone a punk with just his eyes...

#

i'll learn typing someday

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

i mean that's all clint eastwoods eyes ever do

#

he's in 24/7 punk mode

#

he's even punking himself when he shaves

#

haha

"shave yourself, punk"

such a badass move.

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 11:02 PM

nothing like a good bit of the old ultra violence

s1/2 less so

have you watched Devs on the beeb yet?

nah, haven't really watched the BBC in a while

rough sapphire Apr 27, 2020, 11:50 PM

i can let you know if it's any good i guess

gentle moss Apr 27, 2020, 11:53 PM

need to clean up my watch list

got a load of stuff i just stopped half way through on

has Jeff Daniels in it, first two episodes were pretty good.

Did you ever finish Mr. Robot, bisk?

thankfully i watch it in a vacuum

The R&M following is easily the cringiest fanbase going

at least for mainstream stuff

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

yeah, i jumped in way late because of all the hype about it

#

binge watched it and quite enjoyed it

#

it's weird what parts of it blew up inside the fan base

#

since they didn't really seem like some of the funnier parts? idk

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

@undone berry You're not wrong

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:31 AM

i think one of my favourite parts is "how did they get there?"

idk why but the idea of inter-dimensionally teleporting people to awkward places tickles me

oh god damn i need to re-watch deadwood too

or have done

oh god i just realised that Matrix 4 will be coming out

i think i'll have to break my re-watch habit for that

no way i'm going through 2 and 3 again.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:42 AM

Why would there be a fourth one...?

why? i'm not sure i could explain that one.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:43 AM

Matrix 3 was released in 2003

#

Why are they doing the 4 just now?

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

who the fuck knows but if it's as incomprehensible as 3 then it's a waste of time

#

i will watch anything with Keanu Reeves in though

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

I just watched the first matrix film to be honest

#

And i didn't like it

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

the first one was a really good movie

#

i could've shit my pants when i saw it in the cinema

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

I think i just don't fully understand the movie

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

hahaha

#

if you didn't understand 1

#

definitely avoid 2 and 3

#

:D

#

the bastardisation of jean baudrillard philosophy throughout is painful

#

just makes the movies a load of confusion mixed with a jesus metaphor and some gun fights

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

First one was great, but I'm just not an avid follower of Keanu as a lot of people tend to be with him

#

I mean, he's neat, I guess. I just don't follow actors. Closest I get I think is Rami Malek, but that's because he was Elliot in Mr. Robot.
Which, I think he did great in. But casting him as a bond villian was just... that was stupid.

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

yah

#

i think he did a decent Freddy in the Queen movie

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Oh, yeah, he did great with that too.

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

really impressed actually

not the sort of thing i would've expected him to do

Was probably a good... 50~ people?

back when we actually used to go to theatres

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:50 AM

that's about the max i think i'd want in a cinema

i fucking hate packed cinemas

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:50 AM

I'm not a fan of theatres at all to be honest

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

i mean that's why i got myself some nice speakers and a massive tv

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

It's 30-45 minutes of ads in the beginning, and if you go to the bathroom or get any extra soda/popcorn, you better hope you came with someone else that can tell you what happened while you're also trying to continue watching it

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:51 AM

fucking people on their phone

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:51 AM

That's another reason why I wait

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 12:52 AM

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:52 AM

I don't want to pay the money for the tickets, plus the large popcorn and sodas, and then the movie sucks

if you like John Wick 1, you'll like them all

#

Because then the whole experience is just ruined

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:53 AM

she tried to get me to go and i went on a 20 minute rant about how it's been getting progessively worse and i'm not giving my money to fucking disney for that garbage

Feels like a huge waste of time if it turns out to be horrible

#

the gunfuu is nice too

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:53 AM

It's not even a matter of paying. I mean, if I go in and the movie is free, and it still sucks, it just leaves you aggitated.

just some really nice fight choreography

Only bad movie that I've regretted watching was Mother

"I wasted my time for this?"

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:54 AM

only movie i've walked out of was a double date

#

mate thought "couple's retreat" would be a funny romcom

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

i haven't watched the last episode of the SW trilogy. first one was alright but formulaic, but at least set up a lot of potential, the second one was just crapping over everything and still makes me annoyed to think about, so much so i am in no rush to watch the third

I've never walked out of a movie, because it feels like a waste at that point

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 12:54 AM

I'm so glad there's gonna be a John Wick 4 - iirc it was originally planned to only be 3

fucking jason vaughan movie

it was so bad.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:55 AM

Mother with jennifer lawrence or i am mother the robot thing?

So if it's bad I just sit there and be mad. "This sucks, but I can't refund my ticket. So I'll just sit here AND BE MAD"

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:55 AM

that's my usual behaviour too

but couple's retreat was SO bad.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:55 AM

Never heard of it

i thought the i am mother film on Netflix was pretty good, but i'm also a big fan of Moon (probably one of my fav films)

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:56 AM

it somehow made box office bank

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:56 AM

if you've never seen Moon, go watch it

get the styling right neon

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:56 AM

the best way to watch it is without researching it first

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 12:57 AM

it's got Kevin Spacey in it though so if he makes you think of the awful thing he's done

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 12:57 AM

Moon was great- I should go watch it again

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 12:57 AM

kevin spacey has talking robot down on point though

well... "sequel"

not really a sequel

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

did like that one

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

It's good stuff

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

Yeah, thats another great one

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

It's also on Netflix

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

not in the uk

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

i'm trying to think of all the ones in that type of sci-fi field now

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

Reign of Fire another oldie, but not sci fi

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

ooooh, there was a limited series about a generational ship or something

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

Oblivion was a good sci fi film imo, it got a lot of hate but i enjoyed it

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

that was quite good

#

i forget the name

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

oh wait... it isn't that Ascendency or whatever?

#

i thought that sucked :/

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

not suuuree...

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

DM me the ending

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

Ascension

#

that was it, yeah

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

yeah that was a hard no from me

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

That looks worthy of a watch

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

it's very uhhh

#

well, you know TV sci-fi

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

Although I feel like based purely on this conversation I can guess the ending

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

it's middle of the road at best

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

i've watched Picard on Amazon, which is worth a watch although it wasted a lot of potential

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

OH SHIT i remember the ending now

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

The Expanse is must-watch sci fi

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

Altered Carbon was so close to being my ideal TV show, but they didn't take it in the right direction for me to enjoy

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

it takes a little while to get going, and the newest season is so much better with a bigger budget

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

i'm fond of the concepts and the style

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Altered Carbon was great

#

there's an old steven spielberg mini series you guys should check out

#

dakota fanning in it

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

i prefer s1

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

I didn't like the TV shows execution of the concept

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

I have no clue who did Poe, but that was such great acting

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

i think the actor does a better kovach than in s2

#

oh man, poe.

#

what a boss hotel

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

"Taken" was the mini series

#

about alien abductions

#

definitely recommend that

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

i think i've seen that but have completely forgotten it

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Hotel was a massive improvement from the hotel in the books. Poe was indeed great (for the few episodes I watched)

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

definitely don't watch: Nightflyers

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

wooohooo! finally finished S5 of DS9 without falling asleep through a shit load of episodes

#

the Jim Hodor's are about to fuck up the alpha quadrant

#

the Dumb Minion or w/e

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

if you guys are in the ballpark for comedies... Sillicon Valley was seriously binge worthy

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

i've been meaning to watch the new series

#

i think 2 have come out since i stopped watching it

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

I refuse to watch Silicon Valley on the basis that every other US sitcom I've watched leaves a bad taste in my mouth

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

it's very uhhh

#

US Sitcom

#

but it does a great job of mocking the tech industry

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

there's a new series with Jim Carrey called "Kidding" where he plays some character like "Mr Rogers"

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

so i'll sit through the bad for the good jabs at the sector

#

oh, my gf was watching that. seemed interesting.

#

not my type of thing

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

Sillicon Valley was great. I don't like Sitcoms... sometimes you get a gem... MITM for example

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

Yeah, I guess there are exceptions actually

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

have you guys watched The Mandalorian yet?

#

I am gonna binge it so hard... soon

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

fuck disney

#

i will not give them my money

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

No easy way to watch it legally - not worth the effort of watching it any other way

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

we can sub to disney+ now

#

since march

#

i haven't yet thuogh

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

fuck disney though

#

innit

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

Fuck giving disney my money - and also fuck having too many different streaming services

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

they've always been a fucking massive monolith gobbling shit up

#

but they've pushed it too far in recent years

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

None of their recent stuff has actually bothered me

#

at least not that I can think of

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

something like 30% of all media produced is owned by disney now

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

the principle is terrible though

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

It's weird to know that Darth Vader is a Disney princess now

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

no company should be that big

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

it's really been in the last few years they've gobbled up some major shit

#

huge TV catalogues etc

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Star Wars and Marvel are the two common examples

#

both of which I don't care about

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

everyone wants a slice of that Netflix pie

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

they spent $70bn to buy all of FOX's TV and Film assets

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

apple tv has like 3? maybe watchable tv shows atm

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

all of it

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Netflix is always hit or miss with 90% crap

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Only reason I have Netflix is because I'm on my mum's account - no single streaming service seems worth the effort

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

the scale is from like

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

except maybe Amazon because that comes with Prime

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

the Alien movies to the Simpsons

#

they own it all.

#

it was a crazy vast purchase of media

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Amazon's doesn't have much going for it atm, it has some good shows, but it's more like subscribe for a month, binge, and stop

#

unless you have prime

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

yeah, I don't think I'd pay for amazon on its own

#

one thing I did pay for was their MGM channel purely so I could watch stargate. I got to season 5, and the rest of them weren't available on the MGM channel

#

absolute bastards

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

dicks

#

there's a stargate streaming service now though

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

there' also 10 seasons of stargate sat on my harddrive

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

oh fuck sake

#

the stargate streaming service shut down

#

After less than two years in operation, Stargate Command, the sci-fi series' official streaming service and fan hub, is shutting down at the end of the year.

#

interesting that they tried to create an entire service just for stargate

soft violet Apr 28, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Sigh.

i used to watch sg1 when i was younger, but i don't think i'll ever pick it up again

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

i've re-watched it too many times to remember

#

probably season 3 the most

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Aside about Stargate: Joe Flanigan was willing to fund more Stargate Atlantis - and MGM told him to fuck off

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

@soft violet messages?

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

they think they own #MayThe4th content eh?

#

classic Disney

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

i haven't watched the actual stargate film in ages. that was pretty good when it came out

#

Oh, are they talking about the Twitter messages?

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

yes

#

i think MGM was getting bankrupcy fucked at the time Charlie, Stargate history gets messy towards the end

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

Yeah, true

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

they can't.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

so many shows suffered from that writer's strike back then too

#

remember Heroes?

#

that's really s1 and drop

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

no, it's not.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

@gentle moss you just reminded me, i recently watched all the new James Bond movies in succession and it was so much better than watching them out of context years apart, lol

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

they can't take control of people's intellectual property

#

they can't just siphon that shit off and use it as marketing material

undone berry Apr 28, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

James Bond movies are interesting - I haven't any of them in years, and all I remember is finding them boring as a 13yo

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

with some "disclaimer" on their twitter account

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

bisk is right

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

for a start, they don't own twitter

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

all the Daniel Craig ones are pretty good, apart from Solace which was a snorefest

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

for a second, that's not a binding contract

#

for a third, i own all the words i'd type into my tweets

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

@rough sapphire Which TOS are you agreeing with, when it comes to a random tweet from Disney?

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

lukas, anything else you say from here on out is my property.

#

i demand this as the king of OT

#

any response to my messages mean you comply.

you just did

hah

#

@rough sapphire That's not how that works, though

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

thanks, i own all your words.

rough sapphire Apr 28, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

That was the point bisk was making

#

That's not legally binding

#

That's like people posting messages on Facebook saying "FACEBOOK CAN'T USE MY MESSAGES FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER"

#

😄

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:27 AM

in all media

#

it's really not okay.

that's not how public forums work, lukas

soft violet Apr 28, 2020, 1:28 AM

It's about use of the hashtag.

Even if it was direct reply, it still wouldn't matter.

gentle moss Apr 28, 2020, 1:28 AM

I wonder why on earth they tweeted that? They could have done the exact same as what they're going to do without that tweet and been just as non-compliant with the law but had less backlash

How many people are going to see Disney's tweet about giving them "permission"?
