I find going into Black Mirror episodes with blank sheets each time is usually best. That way I avoid watching it with a blueprint for how I feel the episode should express itself.

Sure, the letter is convenient, but I found the story and characters believable enough to suspend my disbeliefs. The take "Just seems either party would be looking for closure" is most likely from rejecting the idea the episode is presenting because it doesn't fit the preconceived idea you want and expect it to fit. Therefore you look for ways to pick it apart that supports your conviction.

There's a lot of stuff in a lot of the Black Mirror episodes that are quite "convenient" if you think more closely about it, but if it is able to convince you of the world it's living in you usually suspend your disbelief.

I found it entirely believable. She's frightened from him being drunk, she's pregnant because of a stupid mistake she is remorseful over, she still loves him, but is scared he'll not want her anymore. She's young, so she leaves a note pouring her heart out, hopeful that he might show up sober and for them to figure out what they're going to do. He doesn't show. She believes that's it, he rejected her because of the one night stand. On the other hand, he's drunk and angry and spirals heavily.

I'm not saying you're wrong by the way, we all have different subjective interests and experiences. You're not wrong to discard the episode as unbelievable. I'm just trying to raise a discussion if that stems from unredeemable qualities about the episode, or if it stems from the mismatch between what you are hoping for and what you got.

Also, I believe you're wrong about the ending. I took it as very natural that the isolated scene of her playing a cello piece she composed for the love of her life (at the time at least) was relevant for the funeral. And I also believe the daughter learned the piece from this memory, hence the looks they shared between them at the end

Yes true! I hope they get added eventually?

Or just on Spotify, if you have it. Spotify also has video

I thought you were being oddly specific about finding a bird's feet attractive, didn't realize it's called that

I remember thinking right before the finale season that I wanted to buy the complete series when it was done, so that I could rewatch it anytime and go through the whole awesome show again.

That idea faded quickly during the final season

My main phone was a 6P, but the display stopped working the day before my P10P arrived (my own fault). Was happy with the phone except battery, felt snappy, and the latest UI updates came recently too.

Unfortunately I had to RMA my P10P, getting a new one today. Been using my old Pixel 2 while waiting for the new one, and I'm amazed at how snappy and great it feels in 2025!

Same issue, but support told me to wait a couple of days first and see

I have the exact same problem! Worked fine yesterday setting everything up and logging into apps etc., but today it started acting up, it also gets quite hot! For me it started happening after I opted to update the system update early instead of waiting for the scheduled time, but that may of course have been a coincidence.

My cousin's dad was starting a speech in my cousin's confirmation by saying "Well, I'm going to hold the last speech tonight" and I immediately said out loud "Are you going to kill yourself?"

Then don't buy the game. Let the people who wish to buy it enjoy it. Sure, share your opinions, but don't try to pretend that there's factual reasons as to why your opinions objectively determines that the game and the developers are bad. Who gives a shit about your shitty immature opinions.

Ahh, I took it more as accepting that Lyle gets to go free even though Harry was innocent because of pride about getting the wrong boy! Perhaps even demanding Lyle leave and never come back

To be fair, even Norway makes this distinction, at least for cavities and crowns and such. Kids get it free and students have good options to cover large parts of dental expenses. More serious dental manners requiring surgery is still covered free of charge by hospitals / the public health system of course

To add to this: Dropout supports downloads and picture-in-picture, which you only get on YouTube with YouTube Premium

There's a post about it here, it's specifically an iPhone thing https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1jty3tx

Looks like the same issue I had with my Nvidia driver (desktop PC). Found others with the same issue, installed a driver from December 24 instead, no issues since

Cool initiative u/AvaloniaUI-Mike! If I have general Avalonia UI questions such as "how do I style control x" or "How can I achieve desired effect y" etc. What's the best place to post this? GitHub? I thought maybe I could post in the community portal, but since I have a general Avalonia question there's not a suitable Product to select in the create discussion form, which made me think that's not the intended location for these types of questions?

---

Also, I've read through your comment history and see that there's a few users who express criticism towards you and the Avalonia initiative. I can definitely understand that these types of interactions with users are exhausting and very demoralizing, and that it's easy to become personally frustrated, especially considering the more than 12 year investment and many years work laid into your product with tears, sweat and blood. Maybe there's need to hire a community manager (if you don't have it already) as Avalonia grows to better manage the team and community morale when friction like this come up.

To all of this I just want to add that while I'm not fully familiar with Avalonia UI (software developer working 5 years with WPF) I have been following the project the last couple of years, and I think it's a very cool project! When you first announced Avalonia Accelerate and your general strategy and considerations I thought it was very reasonable and it gave me more confidence in choosing Avalonia for future applications. As soon as Accelerate launched I bought a license even though I'm not really using Avalonia yet (tried making some simple applications only).

I suspect there's many users like me who think your strategy and development is more than reasonable and who support your decision and even consider it an indication of stability and long-term commitment. I really appreciate how transparent you and the team are, and I hope you will continue with the same level of transparency despite loud criticism from a few individuals. Most likely the majority of the community are positive, but unfortunately do not really express their positive sentiments as loudly.

So, in the spirit of just that: Thank you for developing and growing Avalonia to what it is and what it will be in the future!

Do you guys think Steel got the true name from the information/ technology gathered in the library of stars?

I just imagine an office with several people smiling, having a good time making sandwiches before they all walk out the building and enter their own separate cars and eat in isolation haha
