  • Personally, I actually enjoyed it. It had that 90s nostalgic vibe, and I liked it.

    However, the renewed 25 years later season felt like Lynch was mocking the audience (or was high on something). The season was boring as fck, story was bad and made no sense. None of the loose ends from the original show were resolved. The acting was so bad, I actually wanted to give it up after the first episode. And he didn’t even give us what we wanted to see more of… Detective Cooper. Instead we got braindead cooper and evil doppleganger cooper for all but the last few minutes of the season. And for some weird reason, every episode ended on some bad recording of a live song that had nothing to do with the show.




  • In Romania, olx has a huge spam problem. There are scammers trying to scam sellers, since the platform encourages people to make phone numbers public.

    As a buyer, I don’t like it either. Everything is overpriced. For example, I was looking for some ikea furniture and the only sellers in my area were asking like 80% of the price of a new one. Tech is overpriced too… Like $150-200 for an ancient i3 or i5 laptop with 4gb of ram… I can get a better deal on ebay (where shipping is at least $20-30).




  • Recently downloaded a “cast” app because Miracast doesn’t work on GrapheneOS. On first launch, I got 3 consecutive full screen video ads followed by a popup to “subscribe” to their paid service. Next, another popup to rate them 5* in google play store. Note that at this point, I haven’t even reached the main screen of the app… You know, to actually try it and see if it works.

    Uninstalled that garbage and gave it the 1* rating it deserves.

    Seriously, I’m so sick and tired of these “modern” apps which don’t even have the decency to offer a good quality paid version. $8/mo for a stupid utility I use maybe a few times a year? Who tf do you think you are?

    Using apps on GrapheneOS, I also get notified when they use the play integrity API… I find it insulting when apps like Reddit attempt to access that… Seriously, you’re just an online forum. Why tf would you care about whether my phone is rooted or not?





  • On a similar note, the old testament had a historical purpose - to unite disparate tribes and create a national identity against the threat posed by the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.

    The new testament is just a collections of writings and letters. We have no idea who wrote them, they lied on the cover saying the texts are written by the apostles. And by a pretty arbitrary process, a bunch of priests picked their favorite writings and made them into a cannon.

    If the same thing happened today, nobody would believe them outside maybe a fringe cult.
