I have enjoyed it so far. Horror and comedy is tough to mix but this show has gotten me spooked a couple of times and gotten me to laugh my ass off a few times too. Nice balance.

All I know is that Sisko, Bashir, and O'Brien all identify Section 31 as non-Starfleet assholes that need to be stopped at all costs. Discovery has Pike practically saluting Section 31 genocidal Empress Georgiou and revering the black badges in a way I'll never forgive it for.

I think DS9 did Section 31 right, as the bad guys to be foiled, as anathema to Starfleet's ideals, but yeah every other show seems to miss the point.

Enterprise established it as a result of Klingons experimenting with human augment DNA and it getting out of hand. It probably didn't need to be addressed in universe, but I thought it was a fun retcon.

Ugh, Discovery just made no sense in a million ways. My (least) favorite is how Control was sentient AI like a century before Data was a thing, or even M-5. That and every time Section 31 was acknowledged as Starfleet black ops instead of a rogue agency of assholes.

Haha, Wrobocop is a great nickname.

And despite the photo Andrew Scott will not be playing him.

Interest went from maybe to fuck no in one sentence.

I rewatched it a few years back and honestly 6-7 are okay. Not brilliant but not terrible. In fact, I sort of stumbled into S8 and was (re-) disappointed in how precipitous the drop was.

Then again, like any rewatch, it ends when you stop giving a shit, haha.

30 fold means 30x not 30%, but I agree the article could use some more raw numbers.

That said, I don't think it's in doubt that our education system is fucking up. The current gen of college students, my son included, got their high school experience seriously fucked by Covid and now LLMs are basically devaluing having skills at all. I feel bad for kids these days, their prospects are so much worse than basically any previous gen, even with degrees.

This Shohei guy might even be pretty good at baseball.

I'd watch Keith David in anything.

Hitman wasn't really a sandbox until Freelancer mode was added. The story mode has always been pretty linear. Same level order, same objectives every time. I'm not expecting my choices to matter to the narrative, but I am expecting to be able to choose between quiet and loud, lethal and non-lethal etc. to finish the given mission which should be a pretty low bar.

 

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...
