PS: there’s also another functionality of Klipper that I use from time to time: you can make the whole “killring” appear, and choose the entry you want to paste with the mouse: as you click it it’s entered. This is also bound to a key (in my case S-w) and works no matter which window I’m in.

Agree 200%!

Gotcha. Yes, haven’t found anything that allows that specifically. But in my case I don’t need to enable klipper; it’s always active. No matter which windows I’m in, pressing C-v will paste whatever it’s in the clipboard; whereas pressing e.g. S-v C-v will choose the previous item in the clipboard and then paste it.

I don’t quite understand why they do this with books. Maybe it’s because they have to, since many names and pieces obviously refer to the book. Or maybe they do it to attract people who have read the books.

Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the 1st season, just like other commenters here. A preliminary reason could be that the story is very different from the book, which is one of my most favourite sci-fi books ever. But even simply seeing this series as something different from the book, if found it too cheap: the characters are half-stereotypes, the events are what you’d expect, usual blood and sex to attract viewers…

Should go without saying, just my personal opinion and tastes. I’m happy that others enjoyed the series and I hope it’ll made them curious to read the books.

You gotta hand it to Ten-chan’s spaceship. And it can warp of course.

For those who loved Person of Interest: at the moment I’m watching Forever and it’s giving me similar feelings as Person of Interest did. It’s a bit of a vague statement, I know, but I can’t really put my finger on what or why. Just give it a try if you haven’t already. The background story is different, but many elements feel very similar.

Curious to know if anyone else see some similarities and can actually flesh them out concretely.

Cheers, that was my problem I think, lack of patience. Thank you for the heads up, I’ll start it again!

Possibly another problem is that it’s a translation. The language or way of writing is nothing special.

Thank you for the heads-up. I only read two chapters from the book and was put off somehow. I imagine it gets better?

1.5+ years is a long time… It’ll be good to rewatch season 1 right before. I share your worries.

Ah just saw that! You teaser! :D

Thanks for the rec! Needed something for next weekend :)

If you right-click on the Klipper tray icon, select “Configure…” and then “Shortcuts”, you can assign shortcuts to move back and forth in the kill ring, and to paste. I have assigned S-v for backwards and S-C-v for forward. Then the usual C-v will paste. The tray icon also shows you the current selection (and the ones above and below) in the killring, as you move through it.

Now I get it! Cheers :)

What I don’t understand about the ending is this, if anyone has hypotheses (or knows from the books):

And it isn’t just a matter of numbers, but of content quality too. My impression is that those who are leaving Reddit for the fediverse alternatives right now are also those that create more meaningful and useful content. So the loss for Reddit is already much larger than the numbers tell.

This also connects with the strange way of reasoning about “making profit”, and with some comments I’ve read saying “did Reddit users expect a free lunch?”. The point is that the value of Reddit comes exclusively from the content, and the content was given for free to Reddit by the users. Reddit was having a free lunch too. It’d be funny if people started to say “You want me to post and create content on this platform? Well pay me then”.

😂

Completely agree! The finale left room for a new season or a new related series.

An element that amazed me were the framings. Art. I’ve never seen something like that, besides maybe in some films by Kubrick like A Clockwork Orange and 2001.

Turturro and Walken were simply fantastic in their roles. Long way from More Cowbell…
