  • The Wire is one of those shows that portray the detective work with different approaches. They also show brilliant criminal minds, leadership and organization. There are bits of heroism in some rogue characters, too. The political and juducial aspects of organized crime are unashamedly put in front of you. Acting and writing are top-notch. It’s just a must watch if you like TV shows.

    BTW, great picks Severance and The Expanse, however, the latter had so many problems to find enough financial support that ends up showing on the screen. Being said that, the show is awesome in a Battlestar Galactica way to make things happen no matter the circumstance.




  • I don’t know what’s the easiest way to do it because my installations are all kind of custom, but I’d say make some free space (50 GB probably to start with) from within Windows and then tell the Linux installer to use the free space in the disk and that’s basically it. If those are your programs you are ideal to be running Linux, though, you may want to try actual Linux music players.

    “People help other people because it makes them feel good”. I’d say the meaning is “people help others in need so they can feel good”. Is there a problem with this? If someone in need of help receive that help, they will feel alleviated, while people giving help will feel good. I don’t know, it sounds great to me. Even if the helping ones wouldn’t feel a thing, like robots, it would be still great, in my book, because someone in need is being attended.

    Now, if the helping ones feel bad for helping, and the others feel good, then I can see an issue. The only problem I could see is to be angry because there are people in need to start with.



  • Take a definition of ACTIVE contributors, because both projects have a lot of inactive contributors that only registered and didn’t do anything but just one update and left, if any.

    Google is known for dropping projects that they can’t monetize enough. Maps’ been around for a while, but it can always just disappear for public use. Or decide that you need a Google account too use it and that’s a privacy nightmare. We need alternatives, but in this case, we need free and open source alternatives. We can’t put all the eggs in the same basket.






  • Not for me. I think it has to do with the type of journalism I am accustomed to read, maybe. Then there is the issue of the website where this comes from, I don’t know who they aim to as their readers. It’s possible that it is focused on reporting about famous people or “stars” as they call them, and in this case, it’s totally fine. I appreciate your point of view, though.

    Oh, and yes, I agree the guy said horrible things to Swift. That’s not a discussion for me. Where those words came from is important for me to know, and that bit of information would have been appreciated.
