Right now those are being butchered too with the excuse of parental controls

If it came out 15 years ago it would have been a big success. These days there isn't a lot of patience from srudios execs and audiences to allow for a TV series to get it's footing. I'm seeing this with a lot of older good TV shows that wouldn't be successful in today's environment (for example star trek TNG)

To be fair last of us after season 1 was pretty bad too. Halo got better in season 2 but the awful first season killed it. Other then fallout and arcane there haven't been any good game adaptations (on TV). I'd go as far as say that twisted metal was more fun than any of them.

If governments had to take down websites waiting for the patches this week then there are important users of php out there who have the money and should be contributing. I think php needs better public relations and people who can knock on the right doors to get funding.

Same would apply to mobile phones and tablets and yet a lot of people here defend mega corps for locking them down

If I was caught trying to exploit a government site I'd be in trouble. Why no one is knocking the doors of these companies?

Netflix had an advantage with own productions which is dying now. Shows are cancelled left and right so people don't want to invest time. Also looks like full season dumps is affecting the long term profitability of productions. People watch a season in a couple of days and forget about it, if a new season is planned it takes 2 years to be released by which time viewers forgot the show existed.

In the meantime Netflix content is getting worse, possibly they reached the threshold which customers can't excuse the expenditure.

bought an xbox series x + gamepass at the start of covid lockdowns. been playing since. before that i hadn't played video games in like a decade. maybe there aren't a lot of people in my category but to me gamepass + xbox is the closest thing to netflix for games. series x brought some nice things like quick resume which is fantastic for someone who only can dedicate a little time per day on gaming. for people who are not hardcore gamers it really ticks a lot of boxes.

I am either blind to ads or i see no ads in android (samsung). of course many apps have ads, at least not in the actual OS.

I don't use it for work I use it for my private projects and this allows me to work on them even when I'm commuting which used ti be wasted time.
