The expanse, tried twice…so far

Bullet points and a summary at the end

Political: I, Daniel Blake.

Apolitical: Spirited away

Son of a… got me good!

Anyone else keeping expectations firmly in check after the last season?

Has anyone ever found a job via linkedin? I got the impression that the jobs there are fake and used to harvest CV data or something (particularly those quick apply ones)

Massive in UK / Ireland too!

Istanbul in May, but with everything going on there now it seems like a poor choice!

Amazing to think that they criticised “freedom of speech” in Europe

Memories (1995) is a brilliant Japanese animated anthology film produced by Katsuhiro Otomo, consisting of three distinct science fiction stories. The first segment, “Magnetic Rose” (彼女の想いで, Kanojo no Omoide), is particularly outstanding and bears similarities to what Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots would later become.

Of all the distros to base it on, why would they choose fedora?

Here in Ireland I got a meagre 2 weeks (but took an additional 2 weeks unpaid!)

Aki Kaurismäki

I’m using element X on mobile (android), other apps I tried seemed sluggish!

Appreciate the comprehensiveness of this post!

I agree with this sentiment, some episodes are good but a lot are just… Ok

Very timely

Found another pollution comparison of Dublin and Amsterdam, which suggests when you take into account a more holistic picture of pollution that Amsterdam is superior: https://www.numbeo.com/pollution/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Netherlands&country2=Ireland&city1=Amsterdam&city2=Dublin

Rotterdam does seem to be the major source of pollution - is that one of the reasons why people cycle less there than other Dutch cities?

Very good point. I noticed London data was also included in that study and seemed to have very high levels of nitrogen dioxide wherever they measured (despite having an excellent public transport system!). That’s a horrible shame that the Dutch have to suffer other nations’ pollution :-(
