I wonder if that’s true. Two generations after his death, people are likely to remember the brands and buildings that still bear his name and assume he was a Good Guy.

In the same way that people do with, say, Edison, Ford and Rockefeller today. Rather than as the monstrous pieces of shit they were.

Yes, there’s a lot this season, and it’s great. 😊

Thanks for asking! Here’s what I am, or have been, watching recently (all on Crunchyroll) but not all are from the winter 2026 season:

• Oshi no Ko. Working my way through season 2 now that s2+3 are on CR. So well done, but a real emotional roller coaster - the blend of bright and dark gives me whiplash sometimes.
• Let’s Play. My first “written by an American, set in America, but animated and stylised like an anime” show. It’s lovely.
• Sousou no Frieren. Of course. Magnificent on many levels.
• Wash It All Away. Adorable, earnest MC with a mysterious past, and generally feel-good. (Though I’m waiting for the second shoe to drop).
• Yako-kun’s Ordinary Days. I have a thing for high school rom-com anime and manga, with all the earnestness, nervousness and bright futures, and this nails all that.
• There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party So I Tried Confessing to Her. Proof that isekai isn’t over-played or jaded. (Similar to Re:Zero in that regard).
• You Can’t Be in a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends! Lots of tropes, but I enjoyed it.
• You and I Are Polar Opposites. Another adorable high school rom-com.
• Dealing with the Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze. I love the manga for this, so watched it in the hope the adaptation would do it justice. It does.

There are a bunch of others, but that list is definitely long enough and they’re all outside of the recent season. 😄

How about you? Anything caught you by surprise?

Good grief. The Bastard Operator From Hell" (BOFH) really nailed it with their random explanation system back in the 90s. “Why is…?” “Solar flares!”

Anything to get them off the phone so the next sucker who picks up when they call back will have to do the work.

You can. But guessing all the variations of nicknames for Trump, for example, is a never-ending game.

God forbid anyone there use a ‘politics’ (or even ‘uspol’ in my example) hashtag…

I followed a science starter pack, thinking it’d be, well, wall-to-wall science with a bit of random everyday stuff mixed in. Right?

Nope. Turns out, thanks to American current affairs, almost all of its members post political content almost all of the time. Close to the last thing I want to see on social media. (I don’t blame them, as they’re being hit hard by it all.)

To make it worse, most Bluesky users don’t “do” hashtags or content warnings (unless it’s promoting something - remember to like and subscribe!), so it’s incredibly difficult to filter out the clickbait and rage-sharing. 😟

That’s the one. And fair enough.

Had a couple of users tell me it crashed their PCs, but that was my only reference.

Just reading this gave me a flashback to the old Windows 9x issue where, if you left a machine running “too long”, it would crash. 😅

Can’t recall the number of days, though. 38? 68? 78? Something like that.

We’ve all moved over to Wayland already…

Have you seen the apt sources list that CW generates on boot? It’s semantics. 😊

Agree, though calibre-web exists and runs in a single Docker container. I’ve been using it for a few years, and it’s great.

Sure its a whole Linux server under the hood just to run Calibre and the services required to give it a web interface and API for reading apps - making it way bigger than it needs to be - but it does the job.

The article doesn’t mention it, but I’m assuming this was older kit with a factory standard user/pass and “remote support” enabled without source IP control.

Terrible idea then; worse idea now.

Yet ISPs still do it and complain when you fix it at your end. 😬

That’s whataboutery, no? “X did a bad thing.” “What about Y doing the same/similar things?”

Both can be true at the same time. Whataboutery only serves to distract from the original point.

TIL it’s been adapted into an anime. Cracking manga.

This is a fair point. But I thought there was some uncertainty surrounding signed binaries, Play force-scanning APKs (regardless of source), and such?

Absolutely fair correction. 👍🏻

SmartTube is pretty good on AndroidTV: SponsorBlock, DeArrow, no ads, etc.

At least while we’re still able to sideload… 😔

Awesome! I’m glad it was useful for you. 😊

Before you ditch that app… If it’s FOSS, have you considered filing a bug report to the developer? They may be unaware and find your feedback useful in fixing it for their users. That screenshot will probably help, too.

And would work as a Belgian gTLD domain, as with the shortener for youtu.be 😄

Yet another example of “CEO said a thing”.

Not sure what it might be in your case, sorry.

There’s a Good Lock plugin called Nice Catch that may help? It’s typically recommended for tracking down phantom Samsung notifications/alerts that don’t leave anything in the usual places.
