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.

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

Ars Technica just parroting a CNBC report third hand, when they could add some useful context by sharing traffic numbers to their site from Google-owned IP addresses and user agents.

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!

“Okay… first I’ll access the secret military spy satellite that’s in geosynchronous orbit over the midwest…”

Thanks for sharing the link. Fewer deaths is definitely less tragic than more deaths, but less tragedy makes it easier to talk about - it’s not a judgement.

Battery life or thickeness will certainly take a hit.

Modern phones tend to have a big bulge for the camera, so the rest of the phone can be thickened easily without impacting the maximum thickness.

I’m on Beehaw with a couple of subscriptions to communities in other instances. I like viewing all of the local Beehaw communities as a “front page”, but I’d like my other subscriptions to show up in that view without having to manually subscribe to all of the Beehaw communities.
