Enjoyable is subjective. White Lotus was terrible in my opinion.

Not sure why you are arguing? People have stated that's the reason they have quit, and yet you are somehow suggesting that we are wrong? Or because another service does it?

Accept that some people are tired and bored of having unrealistic plots and characters that are only there to "tick boxes".

But sure, recasting the queen of England as a black woman is obviously fine.

Let's do a series on MLK and get a balding white guy to play him, or perhaps an Asian person?

In the children sitcom 'No good Nick' a female chef ignores feedback from her employee by accusing him of 'mansplaining'. The daughter accuses the white dad of 'cultural approriation' when he suggests taco Tuesday for the restaurant. And that was only the first minutes of one episode.

I cancelled, after being a member for 10 years. Three of my friends have gone back to torrents.

The main reason... Almost everything has some fringe minority edge, a gay lead, a token trans friend and most of the stuff is "victim porn" with the usual white male protagonist.

100% reason why I cancelled and the same for my friends.

Netflix, or Wokeflix is basically trash.

Unless you are a PHP developer

I see Reddit is leaking here

So you need a third party tool to make an official device work properly?

The latest stable one, except Mac's because they aren't reliable *nix machines anymore. Bash is a third class citizen on MacOS now.

I'm guessing the UK. And I agree.

Yo do realise that they'll increase the prices slowly so the price you pay for ad-free now will become ad-supported. You'll definitely be paying more than you are now to keep no ads.

LGB, sure. I know loads. Ts? Don't know a single one.

Hunter Bidens laptop was fact checked by various outlets but we found out later that was a lie. Who owns the fact checkers?

Literally any project management tool. MS Project for example.

You wouldn't run or develop code locally. AWS keys would be secrets managed by Vault or something.

If you have AWS keys on staff laptops at home, you've already failed.

We don't allow any code at all on local machines.

Wouldn't ever happen. We don't even have to have video calls enabled. Those fancy background effects are basically server-side. I don't want MS or Facebook analysing the background of my calls for marketing purposes because my employer decided to use Teams.

I wouldn't be surprised if video calls were made entirely optional EU wide for data protection.

No way I'm wearing any form of VR kit to attend a meeting. Zero.

Action Runners are basically NodeJS applications packaged self-contained. You can run Action Runners on a RPi if you want.

GitHub.com (not GHE) use Action Runners deployed using K8S. This can be done anywhere that supports K8S.

Obviously MS used their own server infra, but to imply GitHub Actions needs Azure is plain false.

It's still decentralised. GitHub is just one remote. I can copy/move an entire repo with history and all to a new remote with 2 commands.

This isn't possible with Subversion as the Subversion remote is the only single source/remote.

We have to take laxatives as well. The night before the appointment usually. That's when you must start fasting.

UK here for context. We only have to fast for 12-24 hours prior to the colonoscopy. You can drink water or plain tea (no sugar, cream or milk).

They offer "gas and air" mainly. You don't even have to have that. You are fully awake during the procedure, laughing at the live HD video feed from inside you on the big screen.

You can be fully anaesthetised but that's very rare here in the UK.

After the appointment, it's a free cup of tea, and some biscuits. You have to wait for a couple of blood pressure tests, but after 15 mins recovery you can leave and go home. The entire process from entering the clinic unti leaving is about an hour.

The process is mildly uncomfortable but not really painful. Nothing like childbirth for example.

Don't be scared. It doesn't hurt too much. And as other commenters have written, any polyps they remove could have become tumours in 10 years, and afterwards, you are effectively safe from colon cancer for a decade.

If the NHS (UK) find and remove any polyps, they'll add you to a watch list for regular colonoscopy procedures. I have one every 2-3 years, others have them annually.

Get that camera up you... It might save your life.

Correct. Elon Musk has said he will ignore EU law and not block Russian internet on StarLink.
