Season 1 and 2 + the Xmas Special are solid gold. It was a straight BBC joint then.

The themes and direction were clear and the show did what it set out to do. I enjoyed that. There are plenty of fair criticisms of the show, but pre-Netflix-collaboration Black Mirror has to stand alone.

Report says Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass added over $8,700 worth of new games in 2023 by Misanthrope in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Thanks, good read. It bums me out that people are still fouled by Sam Altmann's shtick. OpenAI and Worldcoin are just grifts. At least OpenAI DOES some things, but it's definitely not open. Worldcoin seems like data-gathering with a hint of crypto-grift.
