holy shit, i forgot that was Colin Farrell! i’m a big fan of him in mcdonagh movies.
i was only kind of into the new Batman with the riddler, but the vibe feels right for it to be more of a mob story instead.
love the cinematography. I’m a videographer myself and happen to own and love one of the old lenses they use a lot on this show.
one episode isn’t enough to make any judgements, but I can say that I’m looking forward to the next episode.
the only reason Android was locked out of imessage was Apple, the only reason rcs is locked out of ios is Apple. it’s all Apple trying to keep the wall around its garden.
lol, America is nearly equal in size to ALL of Europe. they are within 5% of each other.
loose gunpowder* but yes, gunpowder actually burns very slowly. in fact, we have designed gunpowder to burn slower than old blackpowder from the musket days. it’s the containment and pressure that makes it work in a gun. but it’s also why it’s not uncommon to actually shoot some amount of unburned powder from many guns. a thing that was difficult to know or prove before high speed cameras.
there’s locked mail boxes here. like at apartments with a shared lobby. the owner just gets a key.
hell no, the Eugenics wars probably affected every square inch of the planet.
idk, i learned that shit on the playground. does that count as curriculum?
yeah, I’ll agree. the tech communities in there are not like that. it’s the political ones.
an example: they’ll say something off the wall about the Ukraine war and American support for it, you’ll reply with something that mentions the Americans that support and don’t support it among many other things, they’ll dog pile you for using the word “liberal” with the common American definition because apparently linguistic drift is illegal. theynever get off the subject and then never actually tell you their definition and how it differs.
that’s every political discussion with anyone from .ml involved. if it was just their own communities it would be fine, but it’s that they go out and do that with every community that doesn’t defederate.
imagine it this way; what if “the Donald” had broken off Reddit later and made one of the largest lemmy instances. they were perfectly cordial when you were in their funny dog pictures community, but they constantly act like trump supporters in every political thread.
obviously we’d all defederate with them. very few world even question that at this point.
that’s what this is. they’re just loud, and extreme, and annoying on this one subject. we’d rather not see the Linux main community hold us captive against excising the problem.
to me it was more the straw that broke the camel’s back. every rude and unreasonable interaction i have in here is with someone from .ml. it’s not even about their politics or beliefs, they’re just not pleasant to have around.
the second you try to engage them they throw the real arguments out for pedantry about definitions and using that to call people dumb instead of actually having meaningful discussion about ideas. they’re the worst kind of “it’s not my job to explain it to you, Google it” people too. like, i get the mindset, but it’s just not going to change anyone’s heart or mind. it’s not how you actually win an argument.
every person on Lemmy.ml argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian. they’re just shitty to be around and basically never add anything meaningful to a discussion other than “you’re wrong and dumb”
IDK, the people deciding that only care about money. i bet it will replace the expensive ones first. this will probably make many things even more shitty, but it’s not like anyone’s going to replace the like 8 tech companies that do anything. even if they all suck even worse
yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.
i mean, this story sounds like it’s from pre-release testing, or maybe a trade show demo showing a pre-release build. it not working this way in the release version just makes sense, and doesn’t mean this is a fake story.
i work in video. i have one monitor as my primary “work” space. that’s where i put my timeline, or whatever I’m working on the most in that moment. sometimes it’s color controls, sometimes it’s keyframes and effects controls.
monitor 2 is actually my best monitor. that’s the video clean feed. that’s my big color accurate monitor.
monitor 3 is bins and scopes and effects and whatever other control surfaces and monitors i might need.
Oh it totally happens. I think part of what makes a performer is whether you find that embarrassing (like me) or if that makes you want to sing them for others.
I’m not a musician, but I like coming up with my own silly little songs. Every once in s while I come up with something less silly that I actually like and it goes through my head for a little while.
I hope my cats likes my singing, because I would never show anyone else. I’ve got my creative outlet already. I don’t need a new form of imposter syndrome
You’re just changing the direction of that light with a mirror. Picture a light bulb vs a light bulb in a flashlight with that reflector dish behind it.
Walls also do this, but to a lesser extent. If your concern is wasting light then get a lamp with a reflective directional shade. You know, like the Pixar lamp.
did you intentionally say Dennis server? cause I’m gonna start saying that regardless.
honestly, y’all should both give strange new worlds a shot. to me they’re the closest we’ve ever gotten to TOS. even moreso than TNG. and i agree that the other new treks were ass.
if we count the number of people who have used products with code helped by him; we’re probably around 50% of all humanity by now. at least…
haha, i did take 4 pictures until i was thought that the show would be recognizable 😅
but that’s just me getting a popular new show to boost my cat. she’s the star that i game the algorithm for 🌟
