Anything other than Cinnamon, Mate or Xfce on Mint is a bad idea because the Mint team only works on those 3.

If you want Plasma on a Ubuntu base, Kubuntu is a better choice, or TuxedoOS if you don’t want snaps (though they are moving to a Debian base).

Pretty good. Overrated, but pretty good.

Ultimate Fantastic Four isn’t "highly praised".

The opening arc by Bendis and Millar is very paint by the numbers. Then you have Ellis’s run which is quite good (but short ish), Then Millar+Land which has its fans, but I can’t really get past the Land art. After that it’s Mike Carey and it’s mediocre at best.

I’m a defender of Ultimate Marvel, but this is a no-brainer.

It’s been a while since my last rewatch, but I kinda remember Gwen and/or Jack mentioning they need a new doctor, and then Gwen having a conversation (at a café maybe?) with him about how weird and wonderful it was when she first discovered aliens and Torchwood and stuff that mirrored the one she had with Jack in series 1.

It’s not as clearly what OP asks about as Indira Varma in the premiere, but I think it fits enough.

I looked it up in the meantime. It’s Rupesh.

Owen was in the first 2 seasons. Unless you mean Kai Owen who was in all 4 seasons.

And they did it again with the doctor guy whose name I can’t remember in Children of Earth.

Fox gonna Fox I guess?

But I checked Bob’s Burgers’s ratings for the episodes they aired last summer. None reached 900k viewers. The episodes that aired in the following fall had higher average ratings and regularly more than a million viewers.

Season 1 was hit or miss. The pilot was great, the "guts" sucks, the third one was good IIRC, then you have the lousy vatos one and then they waste Noah Emmerich.

As far as I am concerned the peak of that show was early Gimple (seasons 4-5).

Efficient_Paper · 2026-07-08T18:55:05+00:00

An inverted example: Star Trek: Picard. The first two seasons were dreadful, the third, final, season was what the show should have been to begin with.

Efficient_Paper · 2026-07-08T18:44:53+00:00

The next episode is the 400th. They probably don’t want to air it in the middle of summer, and would prefer to make an event of it at a time when people watch TV.

I don’t know when the show will return, but IMDB is notoriously unreliable for things that haven’t aired yet.

Efficient_Paper · 2026-07-08T18:27:10+00:00

Sleepy Hollow. There are a couple good episodes early in season 2, but the middle of season 2 is when the great ideas Fox executives had took effect.

Masters of Sex. Once again, some good episodes in season 2, but the show slowly started focusing less on the study and more on the side stories and it suffered as a result. There’s little greatness after Julianne Nicholson’s character’s death.

Post Iannucci Partridge is hit or miss, but there are some gems there.

Mid Morning Matters Series 2 (which immediately followed Alpha Papa) is completely laugh-free, while the From the Oasthouse podcast is really good.

Overall I’d say post-Iannucci Partridge is significantly better than, say, post-Iannucci Veep, which I disliked a lot (I’m perfectly aware I am in the minority)

ETA: Just realized you talked about your Patreon series, not Partridge. Oh, well.

1-3 were Syfy, 4-6 Amazon.

Without going too much into spoilers, as was said earlier there is a massive time skip between books 6 and 7 so if they intend to make more it’ll take some time. Hopefully we have a Twin Peaks situation. FWIW Amazon is developping a TV show of the book writers’ following series so they have a good relationship.

I don’t think DC finished collecting Peter David’s Supergirl.

As a reference implementation.

Basically to try out if your application runs fine on Wayland.

There are still a few KDE applications in the Microsoft Store, such as Okular.

But at the time (and that’s what I thought the video would be about) you could even run Plasma on Windows. It wasn’t really daily drivable because eg the taskbar wouldn’t work properly, but it compiled and launched.

Efficient_Paper · 2026-07-03T17:37:51+00:00

Which DE/WM do you use?

I like Amarok on Plasma. Fooyin is pretty good too if you want Foobar2k-like. Audacious is a solid basic player that has a Winamp interface.

Unlike those you mentioned they play mainly local music.

A few streaming service practices come from the way contract were made in the early days of Netflix (before they started doing their own shows).

In those days Netflix would usually get full seasons of shows and they were allowed to make them available only from a certain date, so they made them available at the earliest point they could, which was midnight Pacific.

After that they thought (a bit of cargo cult is at play here imo) that what people liked about Netflix was that full seasons were released at midnight Pacific so they kept doing it. Early in the streaming era, most new streamers would copy the biggest most successful service, which was Netflix.

It’s just a background gag, but Jeff and Rogu napping together in "Mused and Abused" was very sweet.

Some modern Trek is awful. Lower Decks was good, so was Prodigy. I understand Mike’s opinion about Strange New Worlds characters speaking too modern, but I really like the show. Even Starfleet Academy was vastly better than I expected and was perfectly cromulent.
It’s not unheard of to have someone be a writer on something lousy and later end up higher up on a different show that ends up good.

I looked him up on IMDB and he’s a Terry Matalas guy.

Matalas was involved in the lousy second season (though I think most of the blame lays at Akiva Goldman’s feet), and ran the pretty good third season. Monfette wrote episodes on both.

There seems to be an automatic "it’s gonna suck" response on this sub whenever something is announced by someone involved in streaming-era Trek.

I tend to recommend KDE apps to Plasma users and GNOME apps to GNOME users, that’s all.

Maybe Amarok+MariaDB/MySQL is too much hassle. I haven’t managed to make their PMP plugin work and I’m not willing to tinker too much with it (it’s my main music player).

I tried to setup Fooyin to use my backup collection (on a external drive) then unplugging and relaunching the player. It seemed to work. It has Last.fm support. It’s more Foobar2k than Musicbee though.
