Original ‘Daredevil’ Showrunner Calls Out ‘Disney Scam’ of Naming New Series ‘Daredevil: Born Again’: It ‘Resets Contract Terms Back to First Season’ (variety.com)

“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

GunnarRunnar,

Makes no sense if it's the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original -- which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.

GunnarRunnar,

Yeah what kind of linguistics dweeb doesn't understand that language is fluid and shapes with time and location.

GunnarRunnar, (edited )

It's their brand. And I'm glad it is. It's something Samsung can't copy (I presume because of the Google backbone) or attack.

(Written on a Samsung phone btw.)

Edit. I should probably add why it's good even when I'm not in their ecosystem. It raises the bar for competition and shows that privacy adds value.

GunnarRunnar,

That's why I don't use password manager and learn every unique randomly generated 22-character password by memory. I can't remember my mother's name but at least I can log into myspace.

GunnarRunnar,

No surprise there. Weren't they banning people for posting their Mastodon/Cohost accounts or something?

(Opinion:) You're So Vain, You Probably Think This App Is About You: On Meta and Mastodon (micro.coyotetracks.org)

Those of you not plugged into the Mastodon community may not be aware of the predominant reaction to Instagram Threads. This started when it was merely rumored, reaching a crescendo with reports that Meta had been talking to a few of the larger Mastodon instances under NDA, presumably to encourage them not to “defederate”...

Opinion: Meta's Threads app isn't ever going to connect to Mastodon, so stop pretending that it is (knollslaw.substack.com)

When Meta announced Threads, their new Twitter competitor, they claimed in the very first paragraph that it would interoperate with Mastodon and other social networks based on the open-source ActivityPub protocol: The official Mastodon site responded with their own blog post to address frequently asked questions

GunnarRunnar,

But have you considered paying $8 a month to use features that used to be free and also associate yourself with far right?

The only Bing app for Android is a chatgpt-browser hybrid?

Like seriously wtf Microsoft? Google search has been terrible lately so I made the switch to Bing. It freaking boggels my mind that they haven't made a dedicated just-search app without the bloat that I can then redirect to Firefox (like I've done with Google)....

Indiana Jones has been rocking the same attire for 30+ years. Do you know anyone similar in real life?

It's actually 57 years if you start the counting from when he got the hat in The Last Crusade's prologue in 1912 to the newest one that takes place in 1969, and 34 years if you start counting from the first chronological movie, The Temple of Doom that took place in 1935....

GunnarRunnar,

It already exists. Just look how YouTube demonetizes whatever.

GunnarRunnar,

I don't think these protest will turn Spez's head and I'm sure new communities will pop up to replace the old ones with time -- but I'm certainly enjoying the show.

Let's just hope Reddit bleeds enough users to make this the new Reddit.

GunnarRunnar,

Oh shut up. Not Apple user in the slightest but this type of talk is just rude. Enjoy your lonely island.
