Trump is killing free speech.
  • And in any case, it doesn't achieve the objective of newspeak, as those concepts are still being discussed.

    Yet.

    But I get what you are saying. I just find the similarities, although banal, kind of funny. In a scary kind of way.

  • Trump is killing free speech.
  • You just described Newspeak (Nineteen Eighty-Four novel):

    Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking. The Newspeak language thus limits the person's ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][4]

  • I use the TV remote control for the basic stuff. If I need to type something longer or more options, than I switch to Kore (official Kodi remote by the same developers). You just need the phone to be in the same network.

    Never felt the need to connect keyboard+mouse.

  • I'm running a RPI4 with LibreELEC + Kodi.

    YouTube runs better than the official app, at least for my needs.

    LibreELEC + Kodi works out of the box with the TV Remote. And you can use Kore (android app) to get a full keyboard.

  • Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)?
  • I'll have to look in to that.

    I've found this at avp.fandom:

    The Engineers from Planet 4 as seen in Alien: Covenant, however, appeared more primitive and slightly different in appearance from those the crew of the USCSS Prometheus encountered on LV-223, having eyes more closely resembling those of humans, far more variance in body shape and appear to vary in height as well, compared to the universally tall and muscular Engineers seen in Prometheus, although the clothes they wore bear a striking resemblance to those worn by the sacrificial Engineer from Prometheus. Based on a cut scene from Prometheus, as well as their voices as heard during David's genocide on Planet 4, their voices appear similarly human-like, although seemingly lower in pitch.

    So let's say that indeed it is the engineers home world, what's your guess has for the Covenant and Prometheus engineers not looking the same?

  • Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)?
  • Yes, Shaw said that. But only David knew how to read and operate the ship controls, he could go anywhere that the engineers had in the database. David can't be trusted has we see in both movies, and in Covenant he's is own boss.

  • Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)?
  • I don't believe Alien: Covenant takes place at the engineers home world. If you compare the engineers from Prometheus with the inhabitants from Covenant, they don't look the same. They look more as another "experiment" like the humans.

  • Anybody tried one of these RPi based N64 cart dumpers off Aliexpress?
  • I don't believe it works like that. When you change the battery, the save is gone. In other words, I think it has to have a continuous charge to keep the save.

    It works like a computer CMOS battery if I'm not mistaken.
