New Season on July 24
  • Me too. Futurama is my favorite show. However, I really disliked the movies and the comedy central episodes.

    Trying to make the episodes "relevant" and hitting on whatever was trendy that moment really ruined it for me. That said, some of the Comedy Central episodes had good plots (The Late Phillip J Fry, Meanwhile, Lethal Inspection, Clockwork Origin).

    However, there is something off about these episodes. It is hard to describe. I'd say, it has something to do with the pacing of the show. It feels like every character is too excited, always shouting, throwing out too many jokes, and trying to be too funny. The voice acting was also generally bad, especially Fry constantly whining.

    The great thing about the original series was a single plot (not an A, B and C), good timing, subtle jokes, excellent, but not in your face references, and so many amazing easter eggs, that after watching every episode literally hundreds of times, it is still funny and there are new things to find!

    The original 4 seaons stay on my Jellyfin server in daily rotation. I sleep to futurama audio most nights. Every time I try one of the new episodes, I am immediately annoyed.

    I am happy Futurama is coming back. It will introduce another generation to the greatest 4 seasons of tv that ever existed. But I am not getting my hopes up that I'll like the new episodes.

  • iOS 17
  • I am most excited about better support for PWA (Web Apps).

    As a developer, this allows me to write an application once that works well across all platforms. Plus, it allows me to distribute without having to go through the Apple Store or pay the Apple Tax.

    As a user, this gives me much more control over my applications. It is much easier to block tracking scripts inside of web applications and limit permissions than it is for a native application.

  • Favorite Linux Open Source Games for Phone Form Factor?
  • Yup, I have that installed. It works pretty well. Same with Soduku and Paint Fill. Those are all fine, but I'd like some games that are more entertaining than puzzle games.

    I've been using Linux daily for >25 years, but haven't been in the gaming scene for a long time (since the Loki days!)

  • Favorite Linux Open Source Games for Phone Form Factor?

    I have a pinephone currently running postmarketos.

    I mostly use it for music, browsing, and as my rss feed reader, however, I'd like to do some light gaming on it, where light means fun games like tux racer.

    I'm only looking at open source games that work well on a phone form factor with touch input.

    Any suggestions are welcome!
