This is not as big a deal as you think. Blu-Ray production itself isn’t ending, they just aren’t making any more rewritable Blu-Rays. Most people aren’t going to be burning stuff to Blu-Rays. You’ll still be able to buy Blu-Rays if you want a physical copy of a film.

It’s recordable Blu-Rays, not the entire format.

I was playing though Final Fantasy XII, GTA3 and Vice City before my PS2 broke. I’m currently trying to beat Sonic 2 and Strider on my Mega Drive.

Final Fantasy XIII is an odd case because the emulator is Xbox Backwards Compatibility. It’s apparently better than the PC port.

This one is probably Linux given that it uses the same CPU as their other Linux handhelds.

I think the issue was mostly how lazy and simplistic everything was. Sure, it was unpredictable, but just doing unpredictable things without any buildup is not a good way to tell a story. Bran becoming King for example is an unexpected twist, but the setup is nonexistent and the reasoning is dumb. The Long Night only lasting about an hour was a massive anticlimax for one of the main conflicts (it’s almost certainly not going to be that short in the books). Most of the characters’ endings were predictable, but some were way too sudden to be believable; Dany’s random fall to madness is particularly bad. They also failed to use interesting plotlines in a meaningful way; Jon being the true heir to the throne is so utterly pointless that it literally could be cut from the show and nothing would change, for example. It doesn’t cause conflict at all beyond an incredibly poorly executed plotline with Varys that goes nowhere. Characters also became incredibly stupid and some lost any traits that made them interesting (Jon in particular is painfully generic by the end). It essentially went from a brilliant, complex show to trite people only watched for the action and/or to see what happened to the characters. The worst part to me is that people endlessly went on about it “not having a happy ending”, but everyone other than Dany, Jon and Grey Worm got a happy ending. The final few seasons also have utterly awful writing, especially dialogue. There’s a video on YouTube where someone edited the final episode to have no dialogue at all, and it’s about 20-40 minutes of footage with nothing happening.

Not everyone in the U.K. is a transphobe. Are you actually a moron?

Unfortunately stopping CSAM isn’t the point. The point is eroding privacy and pretending it’s protecting kids.

The Force Awakens is pretty meh itself, but we were not prepared for what was coming. It feels as foreboding as rewatching Game of Thrones S5 or S6 and knowing that the deteriorating writing will only get worse.

Not even this can beat the Bob Semple Tank.

Can this trend of thin tech just end already? It’s pointless.

And we wonder why people don’t like using Linux or FOSS software.

And no one is going to trust them on this. They’ve burned that bridge.

Investors aren’t going to get into submarines unless they already are interested in them.

None of the three things you listed need the CLI, except for a couple of distros. Most distros can use the GUI for those.

Frutiger Aero is my favourite.

The UK. The Tories are fucked and Reform UK isn’t really likely to get beyond minor party status.

You answered your own question there.

No.
