It’s ironic that the most reasonable and smartest character of the Task Force M (as per Waller from episode 1) met its end with what was just a bit of pushing from her teammates. I guess she was the most human among the Task Force.

As a character, The Bride definitely got more attention in this season

As for Circe, I agree the character was underutilised despite being in majority of the episodes. Episode 4 was her last appearance, IIRC.

Also, considering Eric’s whole arc this season, it was funny as it accomplished nothing. His reunion with The Bride was anticlimactic from Eric’s perspective. From The Bride’s perspective, it was as common as any reunion from their centuries old feud.

Given there is no thread for thoughts on the overall series with comments enabled, I shall use this one instead.

The show was fine and fun, and a nice start for the new DCU. Episode 4 remains my favourite episode, and Dr. Phosphorus' back story being preferred among all the back stories.

Sparrow dropping soup.

Is it really that surprising that sparrow dropping soup tastes disgusting.

Is it really that surprising that of all members of Task Force M, it was Nina? It was almost predictable from the start of the episode, given it is written by James Gunn.

A double length episode would indeed be a pleasant surprise, but if that was the case, they would have made it an eight episode season instead.

Surprisingly, I found that this episode juggled the main story and character flashbacks much better, while still moving the main story forward within the same 20 odd minutes as the other episodes' runtime. It becomes more contrasting in comparison with the previous episode.

I did look into this while researching the phone, while still knowing that it is not a practical approach for most people. However, HMD phones are absent from the custom firmware scene.

E: Instead, I found a lot of news articles on HMD's erratic update schedules for its phones.

Perfect. Thanks.

I was about to buy this phone as a Christmas gift to someone who was a fan of the Nokia Lumia phones, but the high reparability makes little sense when the software support is only for two years from the phone's release date.

Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.

Lex should name it "J" to ensure it makes absolutely no sense, just like Twitter's new name.

This might be the weakest episode for me.

The story does not move forward, aside from shedding some light on Eric’s backstory.

Also, why did Eric kill the gypsy woman? Is this his way of ensuring she is never alone? Or is it some twisted sense of justice for the care she provided? Right now, it feels hollow and like it happened "just because”.

Fair enough. Thank you. I wasn’t aware of any activity on the director’s cut of Suicide Squad. That is news to me.

P.S.I did not realise you are also a moderator here.

Can you also update the new release date for The Batman Part II? Also, update the logo of community to the new logo unveiled a few months ago[0]?

Gunn elaborated […] while talking with Variety.

“I’m excited for people to get to see the essence of what we’re doing, because it really has been like this private secret that we’ve all been hoarding,” he said. “We felt really good about it, like from a moral place, even from the beginning. We all felt like we were doing something good, both in terms of quality and in terms of actually something that’s not a fascistic power fantasy.”

The background score is based on John Williams' score from 1978.

Not sure whether the piece of music is only for the poster or is part of the movie's score.

 

In a chat alongside 'Commandos' showrunner Dean Lowery, the DC Studios co-chief also delves into why that ‘Justice League’ tag from ‘Peacemaker’ season one is no longer canon in the DCU: “They don't exist yet.”

I learned about IBM’s Granite LLM[0] when a toot[1] had a mention of it. I came across the toot while reading a comment[2] here on Lemmy.

I have an old ThinkPad T42 coming my way. I plan to use it alongside my daily driver mainly for reading, emacs, and retro gaming. I will be dual booting a lightweight flavour of Linux (TBD) and Windows 98 on it.

However, I am a bit concerned about its ability to handle today's internet, with all of its heavy websites.

I would love to hear from those of you who are still using old ThinkPads (or other vintage laptops) in 2024. How do you make it work? Do you use lightweight browsers, specific configurations, or lightweight websites to get around the limitations of older hardware?

Are there any specific tips or tricks you can share for getting the most out of an old ThinkPad on the modern web?

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

Suggestions for a complimentary typeface to JetBrains Mono for reading and writing documents or prose

I am looking for a typeface that complements well to the one that I use to write code (JetBrains Mono). I will be using this to write documents and articles.

For further context, I am configuring Emacs' org-mode where I would be using both typefaces together. I could use JetBrains Mono for both purposes as I find it capable. But I would like to explore my options.

I have also looked at Iosevka. It offers variants for coding, reading, and writing. But I would prefer to stick with JetBrains Mono as much as I can for coding purposes.
