  • Personally I don’t really hate Ubuntu, but I tend to find that everything it does, there’s something else that does it slightly better.

    For example, it’s supposed to be a good ‘beginner’ distro or good for something that ‘just works’, but IMO things like Mint or Pop!OS do it a little better these days. Snap is supposed to be a nice simple way to manage packages without worrying about dependencies, but Flatpak does it better and so on.

    So yeah I don’t hate it, I just don’t see any particular reason to really use it. Opinions may vary though of course.









  • I haven’t seen it yet, but one review said it was one of the most unintentionally funny movies of the year.

    Also Ridley Scott is doing a hilarious press tour for it.

    Scott was informed of some less than stellar French reviews of his film – French GQ called it “deeply clumsy” and “unintentionally funny” – to which Scott replied with the following solid gold banger: “The French don’t even like themselves.”

    But don’t think that insulting an entire country is enough for Scott. Speaking to the Sunday Times’s Jonathan Dean last weekend, he also reserved some ire for historians, some of whom have suggested that Napoleon might not be the most rigorously accurate film ever made. Scott responded by addressing the entire historian community. “Excuse me, mate, were you there?” he raged. “No? Well, shut the fuck up then.”









  • There’s actually quite a lot of the supplemental stuff (Tardisodes etc.) just hanging around on YouTube, many of them sorted into helpful playlists, which I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link to.

    Also for the newer show, I recommend grabbing the torrents from a user called QxR. They’re good quality and most have a folder of featurettes that includes Confidential and various behind the scenes stuff that I was having a hard time finding. I definitely can’t link directly to that but they should be easy enough to track down.

    For the older show, there used to be a BIG torrent (like ~250Gb IIRC) with all the existing old episodes in it, but I don’t remember where that came from right now. However, a lot of the old episodes are on the Internet Archive so that might be a good place to start.
