I’m interested to know if anyone is using a Cloudflare tunnel to stream audio? It breaks their terms but I’ve read that they tend to ignore it.

That sounds fantastic. Journiv has kick-started me into journalling before bed again. Thank you for uour work.

I’ve been running Journiv since Monday and really liking it. I’d really like to see a straightfoward means of exporting/restoring journals, though. The export says coming soon.

One of the reasons I stopped using Memos - which I thought was good - was because the devs were telling users on Discord that there was no need for backups because you should have the skill to manually locate and open up the database and export entries yourself. I think that sort of stuff makes or breaks apps like this in which people put aspects of their lives into.

Agree with Navidrome. Works great in browser and the Substreamer ios app.

It’s great. I’ve been using it for nearly a year and it just works brilliantly.

That’s probably the best way of dealing with it.

That’s one of the issues, isn’t it? I recently found someone who only responded to comments about Margaret Thatcher, challenging negative comments about her. This person’s history went back years and ALL of the comments (thousands!) only challenged negative ones about her. It could have been a bot, of course, but if real, it was a pretty weird way of engaging online. That goes beyond contrarianism, it’s some sort of “distributed sealioning” maybe?

It’s a hard one, though. I’ve found myself challenging someone who then avoids answering and making other similarly unsupported points… eventually you learn that it’s a waste of time. Equally, you don’t want to leave their comments out there unchallenged.

How can you tell good faith from bad faith?

For instance, can you tell if this question is asked in good faith or not? These things seem very hard know.

Seems to me that’s the point of it: to stop people asking questions in good faith and then persisting on challenging lies and disinformation.

Why settle for coherent when you can make it complicated and unintelligible? Private Eye is saying that the show’s been put on hiatus for at least 3 years - so plenty of time to reverse the polarity on the complexity inhibitors.

Or - worse - Italian Brainrot creatures!

Agree. I’ve found the spinning TARDIS flying through space silly and cartoonish. Why would it do that when it could materialise closer?

Yes. Regard it all a bit like the Valeyard: ghostly future echoes of what could have been. The more appealing stuff can always be reintroduced afresh. If you don’t like Eight - I could be convinced with Seven. I’d be happy with a pre-Rose Nine as well.

(I’m increasingly an advocate of (re)introducing the Faction, if Miles would allow it, who have been there all the time messing with time, causing temporal collapse - from which emerges new timelines which simultaneously embrace and reject everything before. And behind that a greater War in Heaven which makes the Time War look like a scuffle in a playground.)

Needs a firebreak. Then return to its pre-2005 roots. Bobby Ewing its way out of the TARDIS shower.

Edit: Changed Bony to Bobby (though I love Bony Ewing as a Dallas character that never was).

As I’ve enjoyed saying: the show has reversed the polarity up its own vortex. A day after watching and I’m still traumatised by the exuberance of the shark-jumping I saw. The Doctor riding a Flash Gordon-like skysled to crash into Ming’s Rani’s HQ was just one I can’t seem to shake. Or the Two Ranis Ronnies’ joke. “It’s goodnight from me.”

Yes. I’m out. Watched for about 50 years. I knew it when the Rani did the Two Ronnies’ sign off before she time-looped away. There’s only so much shark-jumping you can watch.

Just waiting for the regeneration into Billie Piper next episode and I will be finished watching the show for good. This episode was beyond awful to the point that I’m convinced RTD is trolling fans and viewers. AI-written slop.

Who knows why that appearance was added to an already complex storyline (in terms of plot, the Doctor didn’t have to remember her). I guess it’s a case of clickbait (or whatever the term is for including something in a show just to cause online reaction).

Not sure I understand what you mean er - dude - but thanks anyway. Be excellent.
