In-reply-to » Anyone watching/watched Black Mirror Season 7? 😵‍💫😵 I've been watching the first episode and a couple of minutes into the third act then I was like ... Oh boy, I need a break! They're just so Fu__ing good, I'll give them that!

P.S: the couple first Seasons and Her (The movie) are the main reasons I find it a bit difficult to go back to mainstream social media or even care about smartphones 😆

In-reply-to » I have just received the royalties for the last book: 98 euros for the four-month period, about 24 euros a month on average. Not even enough for the gym membership. If you have to keep some knowledge: don't write for money, the paper (or ebook) industry is in a very bad way, the margins for the author are very small and piracy is devastating.

@prologic@twtxt.net I only buy stuff like that, for example games on GOG.COM. Or simply CDs or DVDs. (Rarely I “buy” a movie on some popular streaming service, fully aware that this is just “renting it”.)

But yeah, I sadly have to agree with @bender@twtxt.net. 😢

In-reply-to » @prologic We can't agree on this idea because that makes things even more complicated than it already is today. The beauty of twtxt is, you put one file on your server, done. One. Not five million. Granted, there might be archive feeds, so it might be already a bit more, but still faaaaaaar less than one file per message.

@prologic@twtxt.net oops, I’m sorry to see disagreement leading to draining emotions.

It remind me a bit of the Conclave movie where every part wanted to defend their vision and there is only a winner. If one wins the other loses. Like the political side of many leaders and volunteers representing a broad community. I don’t think that’s the case here. Most of us (in not all) should ‘win’.

I can only add that isn’t nice to listen that ‘my idea and effort’ is not what the rest of the people expect. I personally have a kind of issue with public rejection, but I also like to argue, discuss and even fight a bit. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials,” they say.
This exercise and belonging to this community also brings me good feelings of smart people trying to solve a human and technical problem, which is insanely difficult to get ‘right’.

I genuinely hope we can understand each other, and even with our different and respectful thoughts on the same thing, we might reach an agreement on what’s the best for most people.

Good vibes to everyone!

In-reply-to » Blender-Rendered Movie 'Flow' Wins Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Beating Pixar It's a feature-length film "rendered on a free and open-source software platform called Blender," reports Reuters. And it just won the Oscar for best animated feature film, beating movies from major studios like Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks.

That’s pretty darn neat, the little indie movie (‘Flow’) made in Blender beat out some Disney/Pixar heavyweights. I actually watched it a month or so ago, nice little movie. It’s not the highest detailed animation or anything, but it has a style that it makes work.

Blender-Rendered Movie ‘Flow’ Wins Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Beating Pixar

Streaming services can suck. Wanted to watch the classic Elf movie for a fun movie night, but somehow we were getting the message “This movie is not available in your region.”. Turns out we were looking for the wrong title.

Ayer vimos Barbie (2023) y me quedó una sensación agridulce. A mi suegra no le gustó nada y a mi esposa, más o menos.

(Spoilers)

Me da la impresión qué quisieron inspirarse en Lego Movie, al contar una historia en un mundo imaginado, aunque no terminó de funcionar y de definir sus propias reglas.
Tiene cosas rescatable aunque se lleva ⭐⭐⭐ a lo mucho.

This guy is just such an idiot lol.

  • There’s no such mass migration to “the south”. Tons of people are leaving Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and New Mexico for instance. I don’t know enough about the states with net influxes like Texas and Florida but I suspect they have policies that make it attractive for people to move there
  • Not everybody is able to take account of long-term trends when they make housing decisions. There are financial reasons, family reasons, educational reasons, etc that impact such decisions
  • But of course, most laughably, cheap energy is fast becoming a thing of the past, and so the problem isn’t “solved” by cheap energy, it’s just kicked down the road. And ffs, cheap energy is literally causing the very heating that he pretends air conditioning will “solve”–like “solving” your drinking problem by staying drunk all the time

This oversimplification to drive some kind of political point is so embarrassing coming from someone who pretends to be a university professor. It sounds like a teenage doofus from a 1980s movie talking. He well knows all these things, but he decides to present these views anyway.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de this is the default behavior of pass on my machine:

Image

I add a new password entry named example and then type pass example. The password I chose, “test”, is displayed in cleartext. This is very bad default behavior. I don’t know about the other clis you both mentioned but I’ll check them out.

The browser plugin browserpass does the same kind of thing, though I have already removed it and I’m not going to reinstall it to make a movie. Next to each credential there’s an icon to copy the username to the clipboard, an icon to copy the password to the clipboard, and then an icon to view details, which shows you everything, including the password, in cleartext. The screencap in the Chrome store is out of date; it doesn’t show the offending link to show all details, which I know is there because I literally installed it today and played with it.
