Severance - 2x10 "Cold Harbor" - Episode Discussion
  • So I guess next season Mark and Helly are going to be hiding out on the severed floor while Devon and Gemma team up to break him out?

    Now that the season is over, what was with all the babies in the opening credits? Was that just because of the infertility backstory, or maybe they're setting that up for something else? I was certain that there would be weird baby clones of the severed employees revealed at some point this season

  • Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year.
  • Yeah, I remember when it was $75 but didn't jump on it then. Back then I didn't think they'd ever charge for basic functionality that was offered for free for 10 years. I don't regret not getting it though, this is the kick I need over to Jellyfin.

  • Getting Nicole-ed feels way more awesome than how getting scammer spam usually feels.
  • Every one of the posts today that I've received have the url https://lemmy.laitinlok.com/pictrs/image/e1be7d9e-9e3e-4ba9-9c08-1ff084b554e1.png. If everyone has the same links, then logging people's IP would get you the same information as logging IPs from a public post in any popular community. I think that would only make sense if each user was receiving different URLs, for the attacker to log the requested resource and their reference of which user they sent that URL to. I can't confirm this suspicion on my own, but if the URL I posted is the same one you got today, then I doubt there's any attempt to match users to their IP addresses.

  • email with custom domain?
  • DENIC doesn't even report domain expiration in whois data, which is super annoying. I guess you pay per month technically, but was new to me for a project to monitor a whole bunch of domains for renewal.

  • If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?
  • If you can sacrifice quality, you can encode the videos at a lower bitrate, but that is lossy compression, not lossless. Also, if your videos are in h.264 codec, then transcoding them to h.265 and preserving the quality may be a way to get the files smaller. You would use a tool meant for video, like Handbrake for this, and not winrar or other generic compression tool.

  • Just a thought about emotions tonight
  • if Burt isn’t severed, that's even more heartbreaking, since he did experience their relationship and still sent Irving away. Does that mean Burt has lied to his husband about being severed this whole time, or his husband was ok with him (not his innie) falling in love with someone else?

  • Severance - 2x09 "The After Hours" - Episode Discussion
  • Obviously Ricken is compromised because Lumon stroked his ego, but there's nothing to indicate Devon is anything but loving towards her brother. Ricken may slip some info or report back to Natalie, but it'd be a cop out if Devon all of a sudden not on Mark's side.

  • Helena in the car park in S01E01
  • They will probably retcon this as Helena trying to get closer to Mark's outie, like she did at the restaurant. In terms of not recognizing her, it could be that she wasn't very well known until the incident with the OTC and her public apology. Mark probably would have seen that in the news which would have made him aware of who she is?

  • Resize tall images when using full height image mode?

    I've recently switched to Thunder from Sync, but am surprised that there's not an option to resize tall images to the display size. When opening an image in full screen, it does this, but not in the feed or when opening a post. Basically this would be an option in between card view and full height imagea, for images which are taller than the display window.

    This is an egregious example, but this post takes up so much of the feed when full height images is set. Also, I'm not sure about most instances, but they seem to resize the thumbnail aggressively on tall posts, so even if full height images without resizing is your preference, the quality looks terrible anyway, and you're forced to click into the post to see the full size image.

    Anyway, maybe I'm missing some settings, but this behavior seems like something someone else would have wanted, but I don't see it as a setting.

    www.cnbc.com Celine Dion slams Trump campaign for ‘unauthorized usage’ of ‘Titanic’ song 'My Heart Will Go On'

    Celine Dion on Saturday bashed former President Donald Trump for using her song "My Heart Will Go On" without her permission.

    Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

    The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion (Spoilers)

    I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

    The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers
    • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
    • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
    • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
    • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

    What'd everyone else think?
