I’ll be dead. They can have all of that.

They think they own most of the guns because they’ve built a whole culture around it. What they don’t realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn’t “I’m a gun owner” so they don’t go around hoopin’ and hollarin’ that they own guns.

ringwraithfish,

Idiot

ringwraithfish,

Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user’s home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.

ringwraithfish,

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

ringwraithfish,

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

ringwraithfish,

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

Furiosa's Box Office Opening Explained: What The Hell Happened With The Mad Max Prequel?! (screenrant.com)

Furiosa’s opening weekend numbers have been a point of discourse for many trades after its release. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Furiosa slumped to a $26 million gross between Friday, May 24, and Sunday, May 26. However, Furiosa was released over the Memorial Day weekend, taking its estimated domestic total to...

ringwraithfish,

Agreed. I thought the movie was a great addition to the Mad Max films. As others have pointed out, some of the CGI was lacking, but other than that it was extremely enjoyable and well paced.

12 people found him guilty 34 times. 408 times guilty!

We ultimately don’t know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what’s going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

ringwraithfish,

I’ve been a PC gamer for 3 decades. Most budget conscious PC gamers I know upgrade individual components as needed. Done this way, you can easily get more for your money than having to buy a new console every cycle.

ringwraithfish,

They probably realized it’s not profitable because 90% of a user’s visits are home, work, store… wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

ringwraithfish,

Just a reminder to everyone that it’s fun to hope it’s aliens, but Occam’s Razor suggests it isn’t and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

ringwraithfish,

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

ringwraithfish,

Holy fuck that’s hilarious. I’m definitely going to start slipping this into real life conversations with my ultra conservative family members.

George Miller Reveals How Many Visual Effects Are in Furiosa (gizmodo.com)

“In Fury Road, in [Furiosa], there are hardly any shots that haven’t been manipulated digitally,” Miller told io9. “For instance, changing the sky. When Steven Spielberg shot Jaws, the sea was changing all the time. If you look at that film one moment it’s choppy, one moment it’s flat. You don’t need to do that...

ringwraithfish,

Background CGI for ensuring consistency and immersion is what CGI excels at. Human-based CGI still has the uncanny valley. I loved Furiosa, but you can easily tell when they had CGI humans for stunts.

It’s just another tool and directors need to choose the appropriate time to use it and when not to.

ringwraithfish,

Do they think they’ll get more back from selling people’s data than they’ll have lost in sales?

Yes

ringwraithfish,

Enshitification. Private equity buys up everything, squeezes it for all its worth, forces it to lose all its customers, and then sells off all remaining physical assets (land, buildings).

Look behind the downfall of most big country wide names and you’ll see a private equity firm running this same playbook right around the time they started losing quality.

ringwraithfish,

I think he’s talking about the next Mass Effect game.

ringwraithfish,

Good. I hope more forced live service games flop so execs will get it in their heads it’s ok not to make a live service game and still make money from it.

ringwraithfish,

I don’t know about PS2 HDMI, but they do make composite to HDMI converters

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?
