‘Untamed’ Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix

What is ironic about it, Netflix is the king of cancelled series, yet they green light this self-contained story for a S2. I predict a lot of buffoonery and 'Yes' "men" working at the top of Netflix.

Modern-Day Robber Baron's Firm Hit From Gunman

What are you talking about? I can see my headline might be confusing, meant to be a play on words, as he has a shady past, but the Blackrock employees were hit and injured, so it did have to do with Blackstone.

The WSJ reports that a Blackstone employee was shot in the lobby.

The WSJ says several Blackstone employees needed hospital treatment.

Thanks for the extended info. I agree about the shootings. I never understood why lone gun"men" always chose schools and Walmart parking lots. If you are crazy and want to go down guns-blazing, why not aim for the real evils of this world, the ones causing so much pain for no other reason but greed, the oligarchs and their ilk?

Indeed, lots of great 'slippage' moments. As the adage goes and holds true here, if a politician is opening their mouth, they are lying.

Pete Buttigieg Says Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports Raise “Serious Fairness Issues”

Jump

Pete another neo-liberal nightmare, who serves up a word salad of Whataboutisms so he never has to answer the questions. His past as a two term mayor speaks for itself, heed the warnings.

“If he’s the next president, I fear for our country. He couldn’t run our city. How can he run the United States?” said Michelle Burger, 42, a stay-at-home mom who lives in South Bend’s impoverished and predominantly black West Side. “Look at all the crime — he didn’t do anything about it. Look at our quality of life. If he becomes president, the United States will become one big South Bend — a giant sinkhole. We’ll be in a new depression.”

Yes, agree, they will make it worse, especially by years end (just in time for the holidays.) However, this was going on during Biden's reign. It is a uni-party issue.

Wow, that was awesome, broke her down to the real issues. She is an "ex"-CIA who has cloaked herself in mid-western, 'just a local state senator' but cornered, she exposed herself as THE PROBLEM. Genocide-first politician, support the industrial complex. And lets not mush words, you never really leave the CIA.

[FIX]I need help rescue my archlinux system

Jump

crankyrebel @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago

I hate these Grub/boot errors. They are a pain to fix, not that it is hard, but I always have to read-up on how to do it properly. I am guessing you probably did an update maybe that caused this? Do you have a backup system to restore? That is the easiest fix. If not, next time get one in place. Here is a helpful 'how to fix' the issue.

You've got this! 👍

'Something Is Really Working': New Numbers Show Massive Reach of Mamdani's Campaign

Jump

crankyrebel @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago

Gosh when you talk about issues that affect the working class, you get positive results. Hmmm..🤔, "outside the box" thinking. Not comparing him to Trump in any way, but wasn't that how Trump won over the working class by false progressive promises of fixing the economy (which he will F'ck up) and healthcare (which he will ignore,) lower food prices (which his tariffs will raise by the end of the year?)

I hope Zohran's campaign waves spark a better working class party. As for the Democrats, will he transform like most progressives in the DNC, into an AOC, sheep-herding voters into voting for neo-liberals? Time will tell. He unfortunately can't ever run for president being a foreigner, but love the 'shake-up' he is creating.

Spy in the loose sense. I would probably categorize him as an assassin first, with a side of spying.

The smaller size phones (I hate these Phablets,) 3.5mm jack and back finger print reader, (although my Pixel 4a5G has them, it will be the last,) replaceable batteries, and selfie camera that doesn't take up screen real estate.

Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User

Jump

crankyrebel @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago

Currently, X11 is not really being developed, just maintained, which is the real issue. In this piece they are questioning whether Wayland was a good choice or not. I am using Wayland, have for some time, and I do acknowledge it is still a work in progress, validating the articles list of 'issues' yet to be addressed, but unless you are running a really old system, I am guessing the complications affect a very minimal group of users. There are also workarounds, for example on KDE, the gtk apps don't adhere to those using the global menu. However, there is a fix to get around it.

In reference to using a completely different solution, isn't it a little late in the game (16 years in development?) I think we are stuck with Wayland, no?

What are the best alternatives to youtube that have a community?

Jump

crankyrebel @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1mo ago

If you are trying to get monetized, make some $$, a lot of creators are using Youtube as sort of a cross-posting system, ie edited or partial content so they won't get a copyright strike, or offend the fascist YT censorship, then in the video reference your Peertube/Odyssey/Rumble for the full version. It helps also to transition or train viewers on alternative platforms.

Same, although I think I watched them all, cause, well, Bond, I liked his version the least. Bond himself, imo, was not campy, but the setting in which he existed at times, was, like a comic book setting.
