Oh, and the Fast and Furious kids show was a bit of dumb fun, if you're the type who can enjoy the movies

Finished watching "Dead End Paranormal Park". It was mostly harmless. Not groundbreaking but it is "just a cartoon". LGBTQ representation aside it the show is unfocused and the episodes themselves are lacking the energy to stand on their own. The pace accelerated towards the end but didn't manage to fully have any lasting impact as a whole.

@adiwan That's sounding sadly par for Netflix, post-BoJack. They coulda had another with Tuca and Bertie, but nnoooo, they had to fall asleep at the wheel.... Disenchantment is disenchanting me as of late, feels like every season is bookended by interesting big-P Plot moments, and filled with trivial slice-of-life misadventures. A whole season of not exploring themes and character, ending with some sudden developments and cliffhangers, only to be semi-resolved in the first 2 of the next season and shunted aside until the final 2 or 3....

@scribus Centaurworld was good. Not my jam but good. Carmen Sandiego was good. Glitch Techs is also very fun. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts too. Kid Cosmic is a definitive recommendation. Dogs in Space is a good "nothing to see else"-watch.
-
@adiwan Yeah, Carmen Sandiego was good, even if they did whitewash the history of the Samurai caste.... Lol

On the one hand, I'm shocked that I waited so long to check out Helluva Boss; on the other, I'm jazzed I didn't need to sit through the years of waiting for the project to be fully realized. Looking forward to a second season!

Watched the first two episodes of "Dead End Paranormal Park" on Netflix and it didn't impress me. The show lacks the energy and snappiness to appear to be fun. The characters and voice acting are quite dull. There is a looming feeling that it is a soulless Gravity Falls rip-off. Sure it is a different setting but I cannot get rid off that impression.

Thinking about retiring my Thinkpad x201. I LOVE the keyboard but it makes problems. When I hit the power button to turn it on, there is a 50:50 chance that the screen is blank and does nothing. It caused me some bigger problems with sleep mode and did the exact same thing on wake-up. Only turning the laptop completely off and on again helps, but on sleep mode all RAM content is gone. Hibernation is fine but it takes longer as a normal boot.

@scribus For a few reasons I also miss my Asus EEEPC 1000H keyboard. It was tiny but usable. It made me appreciate mapping Home, End, PgUp, and PgDwn to the arrow keys using the Fn Key. It made me like it so much that I remapped the "previous track", "next track", "play/pause", and "stop" buttons on the X201 keyboard to those in Linux.

@zeldatra Apple loves to Stockholm-syndrome their customers. Upgrading the hardware or even repair? No way! Soldered storage? Sure! Using slightly different chips and software-locking hardware components! Of course! Installing unauthorized software on the iPhone? HELL NO. No filthy hands, hardware or software should taint it.

So now I have a set of folders synced between my iPad and my computer so animation I do on the go just appears on my desktop when I get home. Pretty convenient. For some reason I thought Apple was anti-convenience.

@scribus yes, and also because iMessage doesn’t work on Windows PCs. Kinda just thought they were trying to keep that ecosystem as closed as possible.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out I could just link my Windows 10 PC to iCloud and directly manage frames of animation I did on my iPad with no extra transfer work needed. Didn’t even occur to me until yesterday.

I just saw someone abbreviating "Daily Active Users" as DAU, that made me chuckle. In tech circles in Germany "DAU" is known as "Dümmster anzunehmender User", which means literally translated "stupidest assumed user".

@scribus Whenever I look up for something to know how it works I almost exclusively find videos that only scratch the surface of the thing and mostly those videos end up with "Now you know how it works". Tutorials are also a bane in my existence where the tutorial is more about everything else but the topic it tutorials about (including 1/3 of the video dedicating to personal banana of the video creator and a good portion to social media call to action blah blah).
