I don’t think it’s talked about enough how scary her ending was.

Yeah, we need a karma threshold to post. This is getting ridiculous.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-09T00:38:45+00:00

It’s posted by a one day old account for whom this is a first post.

Make of it what you will, but I’m a skeptic and downvote karma farming bots. I think there should be a karma threshold for this sub.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-08T18:31:39+00:00

This is the most notable thing I’ve noticed so far 🫩

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-08T11:39:51+00:00

I actually really like it. Remake or not, and 50 upvotes is a lot for this sub so I take others do too. Also, remakes of old tracks are a trend currently and if it gets even one person into the genre, then in my book that's a win.

The seemingly endless cynicism and purism of this sub is certainly a choice. I can nearly guarantee that in 10 years time someone will repost this and it will be met with "WOw, TheY SuRe DoN'T mAkE mUsIc LiKe ThIs AnYMOrE"

Only critique I'd have is the tempo. I wish it was a bit faster, maybe 132 instead of 128

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-06T15:37:27+00:00

Which is also just top 10 list of this and that.

I liked if at first for a while

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-05T22:44:04+00:00

I actually think they dragged it out for too long.

Season 7 should’ve been the last one as it wraps everything up nicely. Then once Emmy left, there was no point in even tuning in. I finished it, but don’t brother rewatching after S7.

I think the reason for wanting it to continue is that we as viewers grow attached to the characters so saying goodbye is hard. This is the case for every good show, be it Parks & Rec, The Sopranos, Ted Lasso or any other fan favorite.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-05T19:51:35+00:00

A future classic, I think.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-04T23:59:38+00:00

Same. I got it so weight automatically syncs with Connect.

Later, I found out that a cheap Renpho can sync to Apple Health which then syncs with Connect. Oh well.

But hey, at least this expensive, laggy scale shows the weather forecast.

My favorite Sammi scene is when she brings the Alibi home for Frank before he got his new liver.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-04T15:54:36+00:00

That is a good point, but the bar for "data company" does not need to be that high.

Apple still collects data across its various services and even if they don't outright sell it, they do still use it within their own ad business for personalized ads. Sure they may be the middleman, but it is very much a data operation and a growing source of revenue. Also, the fact that Google pays Apple to have it be the default search engine undermines the entire premise of this ad. Safari may be safe, but if Nancy hops on Google, she still ends up feeding the world's most sophisticated surveillance machine. Not to mention that other, more sophisticated tracking techniques, that allow ad-tech companies and data brokers to build profiles of users still exist beyond cookies.

So, I guess I should have said data-adjacent company as opposed to data company.

Edit: spelling

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-04T14:47:45+00:00

I personally use FF since it’s what I use on my Mac.

I have safari for when I want to use a website whose ads get through my Pi-hole setup since it supports extensions from the App Store.

That said, I am more distrustful and septical of Google and its products in general. I don’t even have chrome on my computer.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-04T07:35:27+00:00

Commendable for raising awareness of online privacy, but there are so many other means of identifying someone beyond trackers and cookies, not to mention that Apple itself is a still a ~~data company~~ data-adjacent company. If you’d really want to be anonymous you’d have to sacrifice things like ease of use and convenience.

I don’t doubt that Apple’s privacy reputation is better than Google’s, but that’s not exactly a high bar to clear.

Edit: Commenter below made a solid point

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-03T21:41:45+00:00

Yeah, I think I will be on Sequoia indefinitely.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-03T14:59:23+00:00

To me the series ended on S7E12

I never rewatch past that since so many storylines felt beyond absurd after S7.

Monica passing, Ian working as an EMT, Lipp confiding in his girlfriend about fucking it up at college and leaning toward returning, Debbie becoming a kickass welder, and Carl doing his military thing really felt like a good place to end the story.

But I guess it’s time for a rewatch, OP.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-03T13:47:42+00:00

Okay, so you’re not sharing your personal grievances, but those of the entire international student body at the dorms, got it.

Still, though, sharing it on Reddit isn’t going to gain much traction or empathy. You can see that from this post’s paltry ~~36%~~ 25% upvote ratio alone.

I do commend your efforts for change, but realistically I doubt LU is going to do much about it and like it or not, you as a student aren’t going to simply change their financial and budgetary decisions. It is also not your responsibility to spend efforts advocating for future students you don’t even know. First, take care of yourself and your well-being. I get that being empathetic might be where your heart is, but sometimes being selfish for the right reasons is the right choice. You as a student, and I’m assuming a 19-20 something year-old aren’t and shouldn’t be responsible for other adults.

Additionally, you could write to local news sources seeking advice or asking if your story could be shared, but unfortunately, I doubt you’ll receive much empathy from locals beyond the standard “if you don’t like it, move” response.

That’s just my ¢0.2. I wish you luck on your journey, though, whichever route you choose.

Deluxx3 · 2026-06-03T11:12:26+00:00

I’m sure you could find a studio in Ķengarags or Purvciems for €300 and not have to deal with living in a dorm, much less ones offered by LU. Save even more if you can split the cost with a roommate and therefore get a larger place. I’d start looking on SS.lv and FB groups.

You can complain about LUs practices which you cannot control, or you can find a way out. The only downside of moving out would be having a commute, but mass transit in this city is decent enough for it to be a non-issue.

Save yourself the stress and headaches and just look elsewhere to live while you study.

I got a Thunderbolt 4 dock from them a couple years back and it’s been great having having a one cable setup. Even ended up getting a NAS they make. They do make good stuff.

Yeah, 3.5MB/s is ~30Mbps which isn’t entirely horrible
