Skipping adverts as a subscribed user on Amazon Prime Video takes about as long as watching them, but I still skip them out of principle.
Ok, so you can skip them and they are at the moment only adverts for their own programs, but I think as a paying subscriber to their streaming service I should only get the stream I'm clicking the start button on.
So this site documenting the AT protocol has a frequently asked questions section, but no way to ask questions. I'm suspicious.
That FAQ explains why they couldn't just use ActivityPub, by listing a couple of things missing in it. These things happen to be the exact things the Zot protocol does have, while Zot has existing implementations that do interoperate with ActivityPub. They couldn't have looked long.

I have to keep doing this kind of thing because my tv and chromecast have a dodgy handshake.
When I switch them on, the tv and chromecast will negotiate resolution, hdr settings and colour encoding and agree upon which to use based on the best available modes. Following this agreement my tv will do one thing and the chromecast another.
But when you wake up, the dreams are gone and the world is still real

These wave attacks are similar to World War One tactics,
It's horrible that these things are happening again.
(This is regarding the Russian war in Ukraine)
From this BBC News article, but it's not its main point:

Rewatching the Amy-Leigh Hickman episodes of You season four, which if I remember correctly means that I can skip some of part one, but that in part two it really kicks off.
Episode 4x01 has a nice scene introducing Nadia. Episode 4x02 has several scenes including her doing the explaining thing. Yes, Nadia is very much like Ellie with regard to her place in the story.

Episodes 4x09 and 10 are where the Nadia situation gets really intense. If you want a quick rewatch of Amy-Leigh Hickman in You, episodes 8 to 10 of season four are it, the same as for a quick rewatch of Jenna Ortega in You season two, you'd also do episodes 8 to 10. Though I would recommend the whole part 2 (episodes 6 to 10) here.
It's clear to me (or my imagination) that this Nadia storyline in part 2 was intended as an Ellie storyline until Jenna Ortega was not available, stuck in Romania doing Wednesday. Amy-Leigh Hickman is the only actress I'd trust to take over such a big thing and she does so amazingly.

Saw Midsommar on Netflix. It's not quite a traditional horror film despite some gruesome scenes, but it relies more on what people do and why rather than on shocks. It doesn't really convince me because that 'why' aspect is not clear enough and because some of the themes I had already seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. It didn't help that Netflix didn't have English subtitles, including on the Swedish dialogue, and that the beginning of the film was filmed so dark that I still don't know what happened.
Some reviews I read afterwards mention some more troubling aspects of the story and they could be right. Some also mention the film being way too brightly lit and that's totally not the film I saw.

It's weird but a lot of great actresses had really great films around that age already:
- As mentioned Natalie Portman was 12 during filming Léon
- Jodie Foster was 12 in Taxi Driver and got an Oscar nomination; the lesser known but maybe even better performance in The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane was in the same year
- Chloë Grace Moretz was also 12 in Let Me In where she did a very complicated character very touchingly
- Ivana Baquero carried Pan's Labyrinth at 11
- Dafne Keen was 11 when she drove everybody in Logan to up their game
- Alexa Nisenson was 11 when she put in a multilayered performance in Fear The Walking Dead. That's a tv series, but her performance is on a par with the above
Obviously they've done (or will do) great stuff later too and some like Chloë and Jodie did even earlier, but these are all goosebump performances.

@Matti Järvinen There must be, but I can't remember one...
There's an episode where the person investigating pretended to get poisoned to out the killer, but that wasn't tea.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •At least Eloise was mentioned, that is something.
So far I think the character of young Queen Charlotte is very interesting, but I dislike that she doesn't match at all, writing-wise, with the older Queen Charlotte we already knew. At least young and older Lady Danbury match very well, allowing the actresses to really sync their performances. A lot of it is Lady Danbury's story, and King George's as well.
