The Beekeeper (2025, Netflix).
A man with "a particular set of skills, acquired over the course of a long career" mows his way through a crime syndicate.
How original. 😑
Still, a satisfying collage of bad guys getting what they deserve in creative ways, just the last part takes it a bit _too_ far (he's probably dispatched 50 special forces mooks before even getting his suit wrinkled).
6/10.
P.S. No, it's neither Liam Neeson nor Denzel Washington, but Jason Statham 🤷
@Unixbigot little trees ("Bäumchen" in German): broccoli 🥦
@cwebber Ooh, wait until you're in the part of France where they call it "chocolatine" and get immediately chased by a bunch of angry bakers 😅
@Lapizistik Wie so oft ist das Optimum vermutlich weder ungehemmter Raubtierkapitalismus noch 110%iger Kommunismus, Rote Khmer-Style - sondern halt irgendwo in der Mitte. Aber Nuancen ziehen halt auf TikTok nicht. 😑
@tante Good point. I feel like "content" is our current golden calf. 😑
@boden @VornhagenJB maybe the outdated part already started at "webcomics" and I should rather look at Snapchat or TikTok... 🤔
I'll soon be preparing a new lecture. Last time I did that, I sprinkled suitable Dilbert comics into my slides, but that feels a bit outdated today. What's the tech-focused webcomic that all the cool kids know? XKCD, sure, but anything else? Commitstrip?
I've been intensely side-eyeing the Creality Falcon A1 laser engraver/cutter, particularly since reading this seemingly very honest review (https://grouchyfarmer.com/2025/06/05/laser-engravers-creality-falcon-a1-review/) that states you should be able to cut medium-heavy plywood (around 5 - 7 mm). Since that would be a major use case for me, anyone around with first-hand experience?
@cstross @spaf Oh, oh, pick me! *raises hand, jumps up and down in seat*
Watched Tenet yesterday and spotted the "sator arepo tenet opera rotas" palindrome in the various names, felt so goddamn sophisticated 😁
And this entire goddamn shitshow just because Netanyahu needs perpetual war so he can stay out of prison. 😑🤬

@lauren IIRC it may also be necessary to unload and reload the kernel module before trying a different pixel format? Not entirely sure anymore 🤔 In any case, you can check the current settings with 'v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext -d $DEVICE'.
@lauren Is this a v4l2loopback device? In my experience, those are very picky about the exact pixel format, so it might be worth trying a few different ones (e.g. YUYV).
@slothrop Agreed. Maybe I'm slowly turning into a grizzled neck beard, but I'm already eyeing Debian Stable over Ubuntu LTS, specifically because _fewer_ UI changes over the years...
I've still occasionally been using #facebook, with gritted teeth, for two reasons: a) Marketplace, and b) our building association. Now from one day to the next, I'm suddenly getting "your profile is not eligible for Marketplace". WTH. Even less reasons now to use it, I guess. 🤷
@MicroSFF If only. 😑
@GreenFire I think that was Ernst Röhm: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_R%C3%B6hm
I had an old Huawei fitness watch lying around whose battery had died, and I actually managed to a) find a replacement battery on AliExpress, and b) put it in without destroying anything!👍
However, opening it did rip the glue layer between the top and bottom half, and it won't stay closed anymore. Obvious quick-and-dirty fix would be instant glue (cyanoacrylate), but that is brittle and the watch would probably not be waterproof anymore 🤔 Any other suggestions? Epoxy? Loctite?
