#Supergirl Forgot She Was Supergirl
source: themoviedb.org/movie/1081003-s…
There is a strange emptiness at the center of Supergirl. Not because the film lacks explosions, aliens, or cosmic road trips. It has all of that. The problem is simpler. It never knows who its heroine is.
At first, the movie promises something fresh. Supergirl arrives like a punk-rock cousin of Superman. She drinks too much. She gets into fights. She distrusts people. She looks like she escaped from a 90s coming-of-age movie and wandered into a comic book. For a moment, it feels exciting. Like Tank Girl crashing into the #DC Universe.
Then the film loses its nerve.
What follows is a familiar #blockbuster smoothie. One part Guardians of the Galaxy. One part Star Wars. Add a pinch of trauma, a cute animal in danger, some slow-motion shots, and stir until all flavor disappears. The result is a film assembled from spare parts. Like a lightsaber built from IKEA instructions.
#MillyAlcock does her best. She has #charisma. She has #presence. She sells every emotional scene she is given. But even a talented #actress cannot save a #character written without conviction.
The biggest problem is Supergirl herself.
The film wants to tell us this is a female hero with her own identity. It constantly signals rebellion, vulnerability, and emotional scars. Yet whenever the story moves forward, she behaves like a standard male action lead wearing a blonde wig.
She drinks whiskey.
She punches first.
She boasts.
She seeks approval through physical dominance.
At one point she even demands fist bumps like an overgrown fraternity brother.
None of this is inherently wrong. #Women can fight. Women can drink. Women can be rough around the edges. But characters need internal consistency. #Ripley from Alien felt believable. #SarahConnor evolved naturally. #Furiosa carried strength without pretending to be Max Rockatansky.
Supergirl never feels like a woman shaped by her own experiences. She feels like a male screenplay that had the pronouns changed during a late production meeting.
Imagine Wonder #Woman behaving like Tony Stark after six vodkas. It would not make her stronger. It would simply make her less interesting.
Ironically, the film already had a better idea.
The opening scenes suggest a story aimed at young women. Something messy. Something emotional. Something loud and unapologetic. A superhero movie with safety pins, broken hearts, and teenage anger. A cosmic punk fairy tale.
Instead, the movie retreats into familiar territory. Flashbacks explain everything. A #sidekick exists only to ask questions. The #plot revolves around a simple antidote hunt stretched far beyond its natural limits. Every few minutes someone gets captured, poisoned, or interrupted so another memory can play.
#JasonMomoa 's #Lobo appears and almost steals the film. He has attitude. He has energy. He also looks strangely cheap, as if his costume budget disappeared into another dimension. Watching him ride around feels less like meeting the Main Man and more like seeing a convention cosplayer who won second place.
#JamesGunn 's fingerprints are everywhere. The rotating action shots return. The needle drops return. The quirky space creatures return. At this point these tricks feel less like style and more like a magician repeating the same card trick because the audience applauded three years ago.
None of this makes Supergirl terrible.
It is watchable.
It is occasionally fun.
It expands the DC universe in interesting ways.
But it never becomes its own film.
And that is perhaps the saddest part.
Supergirl can fly faster than light. Yet this movie keeps her trapped in someone else's orbit.
By the end, she is not a symbol of feminine strength. She is not a #punk icon. She is not even a fully realized character.
She is a collection of borrowed gestures.
A Superman cover band wearing Doc Martens.
And that simply isn't super enough.

TamoGraph Site Survey и Ekahau Sidekick: физические ограничения клиентской модели и пределы скалярной коррекции
В предыдущей статье было показано, что RSSI-offset в Ekahau Sidekick представляет собой скалярную поправку уровня и не устраняет фундаментальные ограничения модели конкретного клиентского устройства [1]. Настоящая статья продолжает этот анализ и рассматривает, решает ли TamoGraph Site Survey те же задачи иным способом [2][3]. TamoGraph Site Survey — программный инструмент для Wi‑Fi-обследований и предиктивного планирования, разработанный компанией TamoSoft [2][4]. В отличие от Ekahau, TamoGraph не использует специализированный аппаратный сенсор и работает с различными совместимыми USB- и встроенными Wi‑Fi-адаптерами [3][4]. Это различие влияет на воспроизводимость измерений, интерпретацию результатов и границы применимости получаемых данных [3]. Цель статьи состоит не в сравнении маркетинговых возможностей, а в анализе того, насколько физическая модель TamoGraph приближается к реальному поведению клиентского устройства по тем критериям, которые были выделены ранее [1][3].

Ekahau Sidekick и RSSI‑offset: физические ограничения метода и пять независимых причин неточности клиентской модели
Аннотация. В статье рассматривается физическая основа измерений Ekahau Sidekick и механизм применяемого RSSI‑offset с позиций теории антенн, теории шума радиоприёмных устройств, статистической теории сигналов и стандартов IEEE 802.11. Показано, что scalar RSSI‑offset является линейным сдвигом уровня и не моделирует ни реальный SNR клиентского устройства, ни структуру QAM‑созвездия, ни алгоритм rate adaptation, ни роуминговое поведение. Помимо пяти независимых физических и системных причин неточности, рассматриваются системные упрощения Ekahau, касающиеся MIMO‑усиления, многолучёвости, оценки airtime и визуализации SNR. Приведены верифицированные численные оценки погрешности для конкретных сценариев и практические рекомендации.

#Sidekick, der neue Roman von @[email protected] ist da, und ich sag mal so: Man kann auch abwarten, bis er verfilmt wurde. Das Rätselhafteste ist, warum jemand 2026 noch eine Mediensatire übers Privatfernsehen schreibt. Ist das nicht 20 Jahre zu spät? www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/sebas... (€)

Sidekick Gets a Sidekick
Fear of the Dark (Iron Maiden) Every good metal band needs a fiddle to keep it real. Right? One of the most fun things this Christmas was sitting in with Sidekick. Tuned down 1/2 step?! Whatever, man. We'll begin with coverage of the three violin songs which were, in actuality, widely dispersed in the sets. First there's Ozzy's Crazy Train... . . Then there is Don't Stop Believing by Journey. 8th grade rides again! . But honestly, the coup de grace was Nothing Else Matters by […]https://apothecaryshed.com/2026/01/17/sidekick-gets-a-sidekick/

🚀✨ Oh, look! Another #tool to "revolutionize" the command line, because typing wasn't cool enough without a #sidekick 🦸♂️. "Ship instantly"... just like that half-baked code you pushed at 3 AM. 🙃🔧

Progress from yesterday's meet! Mini dashboard-based setup screen, will make a video demo soon
Was also supposed to do a website revision, removing the coming soon part and adding actual details but that got pushed away!

Flappy bird on the sidekick? 😳

Mistakes were made, lessons were learned.
The manufacturer reused pins 4 and 5 for i2c on the cheapest board. I forgot that+kicad gave me no hint
So now the touch I wired to pin 5 is useless. I can use this PCB without another iteration if I get rid of touch functionality and instead focus on code/personality core loading!

We have a domain now! It doesn't do much so I added a preview of the thing! Kicad generating the model as glb and used Google's Model Viewer library to render it directly in your browser!
(This is not affiliated to or even related to other products or companies named or named around sidekick or meet sidekick or more!)

Week 0 Progress! The video is from around August 6th and there's been tons of work since!
Expect week 2 update veeeery soon! If all goes well, it'll be on a PCB
For now, here's a quick "Hello World" kind of intro video filmed with @layogtima
Apologies for the awkwardness, it was an extremely impromptu video :3

This post is a little different from what I usually do - I'm working on a little project for my College Intership and to hopefully present something for IndiaFOSS 2025!
I'm going to give weekly updates(or biweekly if I get excited!) along with a demo if I can
Big thanks for supporting this project:

GNOME 2.x has something that the other Gnome's have never had. Full configurability almost like KDE has
That was the period where I would gladly use both Gnome and KDE on my desktops.
When the Gnome programmer started to think for me, is when I Departed.
I am however glad that the Gnome project exists and thrives, because there are hundreds of thousands of people who like the way that the Gnome programmers work. Without Gnome we would have lost those people to Macintosh
Get back to subject please take your time to go to Amber monitors, to the time when you had to run Sidekick, the time when you had to run DOS 3.3
I'm almost certain, no I am certain that you can't argue, that what sidekick did there for a crude and rudimentary user it interface was advanced

Digging through some old photos and stumbled upon this one of my old LWB Suzuki Sidekick. Good little truck, simpler times.
I should dig out some pictures of my SJ-413.
