Secret Music

Season 3 was fucked from day 1

Kinda glad that I haven’t got that far then lol. Although one day I’d like to catch up with season 3 and Sinners of the System just for completion sake. But I’m definitely not as amped about it as I was with season 1 anymore, so I’ll get to it some time. It’s just not exactly high priority.

I don’t actually watch a lot of anime but reading this question, my immediate answer is PSYCHO-PASS. Season 1 is a masterpiece of a story regardless of the medium IMO. Philip K. Dick tier.

Then they carried on with it instead of stopping there. The movie was ok, season 2 was meh and the villain was a bit much. And I haven’t even been able to bring myself to watch any other content from it. Not sure I’d want to because I prefer to pretend that sometimes it’s about art and not always about money and that they stopped after telling the story they wanted to tell in season 1 without turning it into a franchise.

The Hop Harrigan 1946 serial and the Congo Bill 1948 serial. I found a Hop Harrigan torrent that sat at 0% on my list without even downloading metadata for about two years before I gave up. And I couldn’t find Congo Bill anywhere. Something tells me that Congo Bill would be pretty problematic and full of insulting stereotypes these days though.

Haha same here. I’m around 5’6 or 5’7 and I find depending on make, I’m either size 11 or 12 shoes. Also have pretty big hands (or long fingers at least). I’ve always thought of my hands and feet as big puppy paws that I never grew into lmao.

Just to add for information’s sake, it works the other way around too. As in, you can use Fennec instead of Firefox Android and still sync with standard Firefox on desktop. Or Librewolf or whatever. I think most forks probably use the same sync functionality and servers as vanilla Firefox.

Probably DC Comics. And it depends what my role in this universe would be. But knowing my luck I’d just be a random civilian that gets wiped out during the latest rampage by Atomic Skull or something. But at least everything gets reset every few years, so that I could live again to be super villain fodder another day.

This is the problem for me and why I just stick with Firefox. There’s only really two options and a bunch of sight alterations and reskins of those options. Three options if you use Apple I guess. And a few WiP Linux browsers based on webkit (I think) that haven’t actually progressed all that much in a decade, last I checked.

So when the only two options are Google or Mozilla, I’ve just stuck with Mozilla. I actually am considering moving over to one of the forks now though. Even if it’s just to send them a message.

I don’t really obsess about framerates myself and I’ve never had the kind of budget to have the latest and greatest parts but from what I’ve seen, somewhere around 30fps is fine.

And even though you didn’t ask, the last setting that I ever sacrifice is draw distance. I’ll turn down textures and shadows and reflections and everything else before I sacrifice draw distance. I don’t need realistic graphics to be able to immerse myself and have a good time. But things popping in and out of existence in front of your eyes are the ultimate immersion breaker for me.

LineageOS 20 on the Nokia 4.2. The only option for this phone besides LineageOS 19 and it’s one of these cases where the dev just stopped updating anything and deleted their XDA profile. Might go back to vanilla but the problem is that’s a downgrade in Android version too.

This whole phone is a regret. My previous phone had just died unexpectedly and it was a spur of the moment purchase with a low budget, based on nostalgia for a ‘Nokia’ that doesn’t actually exist anymore. Should’ve just gone for a cheap Samsung and I probably would’ve at least had more choice in custom firmwares.

About bloody time. Containers are fine for on the fly use - for checking what pages look like logged out, or visiting a link that you don’t want affecting algorithms etc. but for separating personal and work and whatever else, profiles are the way to go. It’s actually already pretty easy to add ‘about:profiles’ to the toolbar but the more accessible they make it, the better.

I look forward to profiles also making it to the Android app 5 to 10 years from now.

Going to be a bit negative but this is something that’s kinda annoyed me about Android in the last few years. BREAKING: new shortcut available! And then there’s the articles and breaking news for them doing shit like changing the design of the clock slightly every now and then.

What annoys me about all of this is that the very first Android phone that I had, the S4 Mini, that started out on Android 4.3, had custom firmwares around that allowed you to customise every shortcut with anything and choose from multiple styles of clock. Amongst other things.

Which tells me that the folks working on Android could easily make things more customisable but they choose not to so that we can get these articles going on about how awesome a new shortcut is and they get to look like they’re always working on these new ‘innovations’.

They’re running out of ways to add extra cameras, so now they’re acting like adding a new shortcut to a button that should’ve been more configurable in the first place is some sort of technological breakthrough.

For me personally, it’s something that I’m always activating in my pocket and have disabled now.

I want something between ‘feature phones’ and smartphones. A little bit like what Nokia had to offer with Symbian and Maemo but more modern. If you want a rectangle of glass that requires wireless proprietary everything and replacing every time the battery starts packing up, more power to you, I’m a fan of choice and options.

But I want to be able to buy a music phone with great speakers and toys like FM transmitters thrown in. Or a gaming phone with a d-pad, a, b, x, y and shoulder buttons. But like, with Firefox instead of Opera Mini. And social media apps and shit.

What an alpha.

Next step: political adverts that quiz you on what you’ve just heard and repeat each segment if you get the answer wrong.

Just kidding though (or am I). This is truly some dystopian shit. My first reaction was what the actual fuck. And I bet you that their numbers aren’t really going to hurt that much because of this. Mark my words.
