Good to see a few quality kiwi films popping up on NetFix. Over the last couple of nights I watched Tinā (2024) and Uproar (2023), which were fantastic.
Both films had great stories, engaging characters, sparkling dialogue, and consistently convincing performances. Both explored the tension between sports and performing arts in kiwi culture, as well as the racial tensions that seep from the pores of our postcolonial society. Great stuff.
Someone was suspended
Death threats? Plain criticism? I didn't investigate
But:
The suspension affects #Blacksky as well
All this talk about the *promise* of #decentralization
But that is not the reality
Cultists buy the promise and ignore the reality
Come to #Mastodon / #Fediverse
Oh we have drama too
Some instances suspend out of capricious bullshit, a Spanish Inquisition
But you still have reach:
We are truly #decentralized
Joanna Baillie (1762–1851) was born #OTD, 11 September. Plays on the Passions, a series of female-led comedies & tragedies, brought Baillie fame during a period when serious drama was in decline. Her 256th birthday was commemorated by a Google doodle in 2018

Watching season 1 of The White Lotus. Greg is a stone cold legend.
"Come here, crazy. You're not really cuckoo."
I just finished binging the 2024 UK mini-series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. It's based on true events, and I have so many thoughts!

Is anyone part of a union or affinity group that you could call right now?
Other groups can join later but I would deeply, deeply appreciate a few hundred calls first thing in the morning.
Just watched Alex Garland's 2024 film Civil War. Seems even more relevant after recent and ongoing events in California.
Une nouvelle attaque de @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social sur les développeurs open source, cette fois contre @fdroidorg.
La raison c'est que #GrapheneOS a implémenté des permissions non standard uniquement piur leur ROM a eux alors que F-Droid veux juste suivre les permissions d'app standardisé fourni par l'API d'Android (pour ne pas casser la compatibilité avec les autres ROM (autant les roms custom que les rom fabricant).

Maid (2021) is really good. Harrowing, hard to watch, but really good. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a story about the lives of the people who clean the huge McMansions the people in most TV shows live in. The inability of those people to understand just what a desperate struggle life can be for those less fortunate.
Et pourquoi s'arrêter là quand @purism peut prendre une balle de #grapheneos au passage.
La stratégie marketing de GrapheneOS et Daniel Micay repose uniquement sur le fait de dénigrer un maximum la concurrence, que ce soit Calyx, Lineage, /e/OS et maintenant Purism.
Je ne pensais pas que Daniel Micay / GrapheneOS ce lancerait déjà dans des nouvelles victimes et qu'il continuerait juste d'attaquer /e/, mais je me trompais.
Le développeur de #fwupd est ciblé, et #grapheneos n'a montré aucune preuve de ce qu'il avance du harcèlement de Richard envers lui et GOS.
N'hésitez donc pas à soutenir Richard @hughsie qui ce fait accuser d'etre hostile à Graphene sans aucune preuve.
