Is anyone watching this? I finished season two about 6 weeks ago but I'm wondering if I should just rewatch the first two seasons before starting the third.
If you're unfamiliar with the show, I can't recommend it highly enough. It's probably the best TV show, of any type, that I've ever seen. Here's the original trailer, but there's SO much more than what it shows. In the words of @Bezarius who recommended it to me:
The German show Dark is incredible. I just finished watching the first season this evening and it's the most perfect season of television I've seen in a long, long time. Literally the only thing I would rate alongside The Sopranos or The Wire. It has it all - complexity, deep philosophy, theoretical physics, horology, sci-fi elements, brilliant characterisation/acting, unpredictability, great dialogue and masterful pacing. Check it out.
A word of warning though. DO NOT watch it in English, The English voice acting is atrocious.

Why do many games make you press a button before loading (after launch)?
So recently I've been playing Destiny 2. After you launch the game you need to press "X" for the game to start loading (which takes multiple minutes, it's ridiculous). I've seen this in other...
So recently I've been playing Destiny 2. After you launch the game you need to press "X" for the game to start loading (which takes multiple minutes, it's ridiculous).
I've seen this in other games and I never understood the point. Yes I want to move past that screen, load the game and play it. Do you guys know why game developers do this?

My question is would it be possible to have a user-level preference to not show posts which link to a certain domain?
I want to clarify, this would only affect the user (based on their preferences) and what they see on tildes.Asking this question after seeing a bunch of posts from intlnewsdesk.org being posted here, and I am not able to find much about this site and would prefer not to provide more traffic to this site. (Seems like the user posting this signed up a day ago and pretty much has posted only articles to the above mentioned site).

Three weeks ago I decided I should stop developing on my own and open my side project to get feedback. So here we are now.
Midnight pub is a writing platform that aims to be the virtual equivalent of a pub: you go there to talk about your day, interact with a person or two while you unwind, and leave whenever you feel like. It's centered around the idea of entries & references (backlinks) to connect entries together.
It's a small community of people at the moment. Anyone is welcome to drop by and say hi!
