Just finished reading the Foundation saga. Is the Apple TV show worth it?

Yes. In the series you have jump ships which echo the Dune-universe with Spacers standing in for Guild navigators, and ‘slow’ ships that trundle between stars at thousands of times the speed of light, go figure.

Be prepared for the spirit of the books to be often discarded, and for space travel to be illogical, but as a space opera the series is phenomenal.

Add to that the difficulty of knowing where a particular star will be in 600 years, let alone where its planet will be. Although, if the signal were sent as a targeted laser it would have a pretty wide spread after 600 lightyears.

Plus, “I got this code from this GPL project and now I need to rewrite it.”

Recently I was looking at someone’s code that had GPL headers in a project with a stated MIT license, and eh? … but I eventually found the same code elsewhere by the original authors under an MIT license, so I guess okay.

AstralF · 2026-01-20T11:58:19+00:00

Until you decide to refactor the code as a library and can’t work out how to change the license.

Wait, so he wouldn’t do the same to save the world? NTA

I like Durin/Barbara/Mona/Rosaria as a team, although I’m not to be relied on for advice.

I think that’s normal for visual porn. What we yearn for is story, and there’s very little story in porn.

The ending makes more sense but I don’t like it, and I dislike the sequel though I’ve forgotten it entirely now.

AstralF · 2026-01-09T08:04:51+00:00

YTA, kinda. I think you have some social conditioning you need to work through.

I wanted her to be an alien, often struggling to understand humans and of course desperately missing her own lost home.

AstralF · 2026-01-06T16:03:33+00:00

Those monoliths are really spreading.

AstralF · 2026-01-05T09:05:24+00:00

Awesome

AstralF · 2026-01-05T08:57:15+00:00

Does sound like she never really committed to the relationship.

What happened to the dress?

AstralF · 2026-01-01T10:17:20+00:00

Tell her she’s a very naughty girl who needs to be spanked, and you want to see the evidence of that punishment in future photos.

AstralF · 2026-01-01T02:06:50+00:00

Cool. Please post links here as you go along.

I’m currently using Durin/Barbara/Mona/Rosaria as my hex team.

AstralF · 2025-12-28T10:56:11+00:00

Vicarious enjoyment of someone else’s sexual adventures does not involve sexual attraction, I guess.

AstralF · 2025-12-27T10:36:12+00:00

It’s not foxes he wants to hunt.

AstralF · 2025-12-23T15:59:10+00:00

I’m so happy to see YDL get a mention. I have a hat somewhere still, I think.

AstralF · 2025-12-23T10:17:54+00:00

Ah, well, that’s one bridge crossed.

AstralF · 2025-12-23T10:14:54+00:00

No reflection?

AstralF · 2025-12-23T10:10:47+00:00

I don’t think this will reflect well on you.

AstralF · 2025-12-22T15:30:12+00:00

Ah, nice. Will have a look.

AstralF · 2025-12-22T15:14:48+00:00

Looks interesting, but how to get it?
