there’s no way that heavy trucks would be allowed on roads if they were suddenly invented today.

There’d be some big tech corpo that would build a billion of them at once, connect them to the internet and pretend they’re just extra large electric scooters until they were so ubiquitous that the public couldn’t imagine banning them.

Middle East Eye commonly publishes hilariously anti-Kurdish propaganda, on top of entirely fabricated news. You trusted this news piece just because it confirmed your existing beliefs. You are not as resilient to propaganda as you think you are.

Okay, so it’s as narrow but it’s better because it fills out entire field of vision. Not sure how that relates to narrowness of the worldviews.

Isn’t horizontal video exactly as narrow, just on different axis?

If something is public domain then it’s incompatible with copyleft licenses, like GPL under which Linux is licensed.

Linux team is trolling AI boosters who can’t certify their code is clean unless they trained models themselves.

Not only copyright is dead but so is licensing of things in general. This means there’ll be less original work from both commercial and non-commercial projects. Commercially there won’t be ways to profit so why bother. On the libre licensing front why would you contribute code to GPL licensed projects or release art under Creative Commons if it’s going to be license washed anyway?

I think there should be a coherent resolution in the end (as opposed to Lost) because they seem to be methodically building towards something constantly. I’m starting to worry that this ending might be a bit disappointing though.

Maybe some focus on ending the story will make From showrunners pick up the pace a little.

It would have to be insanely long if it were to adapt the entire thing even with those cuts so then you have a problem that at season 10 you don’t get any new viewers because nobody can jump in without 9 books worth of context.

The only way to adapt it is as a Latin American telenovela. You get low budget and captivated audience of older women who’ll watch it out of habit. Rand al’Thor wouldn’t be a dorky redhead but a hot Latino lover and that’s not the only advantage here.

I really enjoy this series but it started to drag so this is welcome news.

Yup. And he’s not going to finish it because the ending he came up with we saw in the TV series. GRRM now gets to pretend his ending is better without ever showing it, blaming things on how it was adapted.

The only genuine criticism in the article is against The Wheel of Time although I’d gladly hear Brian Sanderson ideas on how to adapt 14-long book series into a TV series that’s going to be watched by anyone other than die hard fans. Being a great writer doesn’t mean you’re a great TV producer.

From ‘House of the Dragon’ to ‘God of War’ to ‘The Witcher,’ shows are getting smacked by creators for seeming to stray from source material. And there are reasons it’s happening now.

Not sure what’s unfaithful about House of the Dragon. Are fans complaining? Honest question. GRRM is complaining he’s not listened to but given that the man hasn’t finished his books yet I think it’s best he’s undisturbed until then.

God of War didn’t come out so it can’t be judged as unfaithful, it just looks bad.

Witcher could be the best adaptation around and Sapkowski would still find a reason to be butthurt like he was butthurt about Witcher 3 continuing story from his books even though it’s better than anything he wrote since The Lady of the Lake.

Hollywood Reporter co-opted Rings of Power into this article too but unless Tolkien was reanimated it looks like a shoehorned argument. It’s like author wanted to dunk on things they don’t like and ran out of steam very quickly.
