I definitely wasn't expecting this one to be an intense episode about racism from the trailers, and I really didn't think they'd tackle it in such a head-on way in general.

Also I liked that they used a futuristic society for it and suggested that these problems persist is the future instead of just doing it in a historical episode which would have been the obvious choice IMO.

Maybe the slugs made the dots and they're just smarter and cooler than we assume? I have no idea really lol

IIRC Ncuti was still filming Sex Education during the first filming block so that might be why. Not sure why they had to start filming while the lead actor was still working somewhere else, but that's the BBC for you I guess lol

It's an older interview, but I like to bring this up whenever Kaspersky comes up as a topic:

If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?

Internet design--that's enough.

That's it? What's wrong with the design of the Internet?

There's anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people--hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrong…to introduce it in the same way.

As a sidenote, you can get around the VPN block with Redlib by just adding safe- to the start of most reddit URLs. So like instead of reddit.com/r/linux or whatever you can do safereddit.com/r/linux and it should work without needing a login.

I think the TV series of Station Eleven is better than the book. Not that the book is bad at all, but the show is something else.

I'm very cheap lol, and I think the cheapest I've seen it in Canada was about $40. Close, but I think they can do better!

I still haven't played Cyberpunk yet, which seems like it's aimed directly at me and I really want to play, just because it hasn't been cheap enough on the Steam sales yet. I think they might be slightly underestimating the patience of PC gamers lol.

I tried it but TBH went back to torrents. I found it to be very fiddly to get working, every single component seems to want you to pay for it (and not wanting to pay for and keep track of half a dozen streaming things is one of the main draws for piracy for me anyway) and overall it just didn't seem worth it to find the ~1% of things I can't find on torrents (and I didn't even find all of them on Usenet either.)

Other people's mileage may vary of course, but I didn't really think it was worth it.

My theory is that it's middle-mamagement nonsense. There are too many execs running around with nothing to do, so they come up with little projects to justify their jobs, and it always defaults to stuff like requiring PSN accounts that will fuck up their brand on PC long-term, but will make the numbers go up for this quarter so the one exec stands out. Or like you say, going after a pirate which generates a bunch of headlines but ultimately makes no real difference to piracy in general.

Sony has a supernatural gift for making things almost awesome, and then fucking it all up with their own nonsense at the last moment.
