One step closer to the AI spacecraft and habitats in Iain M. Bank’s Culture novels.

Neat. Thanks. It must be unusual though. That publication seems to have only used it in the title because it’s part of a quote that is the basis for the article. They don’t use that phrasing anywhere else except in a longer quote in the body. Elsewhere they use more common phrasing like ‘go private’.

Yeah that’s what I meant 👍

I’ve not heard the term privatisation used in this way. This company is already privately owned, just not by a single individual or entity. That’s not the same thing as being publicly owned, at least here in Australia it’s not.

Disliked it as a movie.

Alita: Battle Angel.

It starts off bad but when Alita signs up to be a hunter or whatever they are called and dons the coat and goes to the bar it’s just embarrassing. I feel sorry for everyone involved. When I got to the bar scene the second time I tried to watch the film I remembered why I stopped the first time.

Hot tip. You can enable ‘Install extension from file’ in mobile Firefox apps (Firefox, Fennec, Mull etc) by going to Settings > About Firefox (or About Fennec etc) > Tapping the name 5 times.

You should see a message about debug mode being enabled and the ‘Install extention from file’ option should be in the Advanced section of your brower settings.

I had to read the article after seeing your comment.

It’s alright folks, the guy who made the cartoon Godzilla movie does not want to remake Shin Godzilla.

Star Wars Episode 1

This thing sounds like it’s possessed by Charles Lee Ray.

I think this is a limitation of Android that cannot be overcome.

Billy Bragg - There Is Power in a Union

Iceman is a 2017 German-Italian-Austrian adventure drama film written and directed by Felix Randau. It is a fictional story about the life of Ötzi, a natural mummy of a man discovered on 19 September 1991 in the Ötzal Alps.

The film, which was filmed in the Tyrolean and Bavarian Alps features almost no dialogue, with a minimal amount in untranslated language based on reconstructed Rhaetian, created for the film by a linguist.

The Kings Of Summer

Coming-of-age comedy about three teenage friends – Joe (Nick Robinson), Patrick (Gabriel Basso) and the eccentric and unpredictable Biaggio (Moises Arias) - who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land. Free from their parents’ rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family - whether it is the one you’re born into or the one you create – is something you can’t run away from.
