Really nice article of what she did to improve the representation and perception of women on Star Trek, also weird but cool that she worked on Quincy ME previously: https://www.womenatwarp.com/jeri-taylor-woman-in-the-writers-room/

Thanks for your service and safe journey amongst the stars, Jeri ๐Ÿซก

Pirani added: "[Miller]โ€™s opposition to Zionism is not opposition to the idea of Jewish self-determination or of a preponderantly Jewish state existing in the world, but rather, as he defines it, to the exclusive realisation of Jewish rights to self-determination within a land that is home to a very substantial non-Jewish population."

You can be a proud defender of Judaism whilst railing against the Israeli government's actions, just as you can be a proud citizen of [x] country whilst not condoning, even condemning the actions of that government. It's very sad that this point even needs to be emphasised

Still miss foobar which isn't on Linux, though deadbeef is fairly similar at least. Never got the hang of all the beautiful themes/skins users put together for foobar but it was still my go to music player. Excellent layout customisation, tagging and conversion UI, as well as as nice range of plugins

At least you can have separate pages for artists with the same name on streaming services, it's been a nightmare on last.fm since it's/audioscrobbler's inception. I know, I know, what year is it?!

Thanks for this, from a non techie

I actually saw plenty of people dressed up as bears today, the Chicago Bears happened to be playing in London at the same time but I pass that off as pure coincidence

I cancelled my 2TB sub and moved to MEGA because the CASA requirements meant CDisplayEx (comic reader) also had to drop Google Drive integration. Good timing as I was deGoogling over other areas like email, browser, etc

Indeed, looking forward to gaming on PopOS Cosmic beta next year

Good innings, Maggie, fly high. ๐Ÿซก Think I first saw her in Hook as a child

Couldn't agree more, though I would say it also distracts from the need to highly regulate capitalism at large, i.e. encourage reinvestment in employees (pay at least in line with inflation, training, etc) over shareholder dividends or CEO bonuses

This is relevant so not just those at the very top (irrespective of generation) will benefit from economic growth

Well that sucks, ironically I connected my C2 to the net for the NFL gamepass sub I'm actually paying for. Guess it's back to illegal streams on the desktop PC

Waiting for the reviews

 

Any tips the best way(s) to watch the upcoming season? I'm also contemplating paying for DAZN (based in the UK)... with a temporary card that I can cancel given all the negative Trustpilot reviews

 

Just a small attempt to get more, or indeed any activity going here. I'm also genuinely curious, what have folks been listening to lately? If there's enough interest I could make this a monthly post.

For myself, a few below:

Irini - s/t: has probably become my fave Traumprinz/DJ Metatron album which says something, not just techno/trance/ambient but other styles like breaks/dnb scattered about

Air Liquide - Abuse Your Illusions: kicking myself that it took so long to get into them, still discovering a lot!

Sandwell District - Feed Forward: stone cold classic that fits most moods personally, RIP Juan

 

Given (I believe) there's no mechanism for locals to get cheaper tickets, does anyone have any tips for grabbing cheaper day tickets? Wouldn't mind catching a fair few acts on Friday and Sunday, just not for ยฃ200+!

 

This is in addition to the RMT strikes on 20th, 22nd and 29th July.
