This. I don't understand this weird desire to get a show cancelled only because you don't watch it anymore. Seems really egoistic.

Lemmy is definitely addictive but when comparing it to algorithm oriented platforms, we are basically comparing alcohol to cocaine. Both addictive but one way more than the other.

I still can't wrap my head around who this is meant to be for. Fans that are old enough to have grown up with the original series are never going to like this and fans that are younger will still have seen the old series. It's not like it's so old it's unwatchable.

I don't understand how anybody in an executive position thought this was a good idea, especially because there is loads of stuff you could make a show about in the wizarding world universe (cough marauders cough).

Sligthly off topic but I think this actually may be some kind of Mandela effect, because I think a large number of people actually think the commercial said 'You wouldn't download a car' because of all the memes but it actually said 'You wouldn't steal a car'

"No matter what you think of Wikipedia" sounds like Wikipedia is extremely controversial. I've never met a person who has anything against Wikipedia. How insane and out of touch with reality do you have to be to have something against Wikipedia?

Good boy. Maybe too good.

Und nochmal die Studioversion

David Kriesel is amazing! Didn't know about this. Very useful.

I also work in 3D and I wanna say yes. If we're talking solely about the technical aspect, real-time render today can definitely hold up to, or even surpass, the quality of renders from 30 years ago.

If it would look exactly the same and how much work it would be to recreate the entire movie in a real time engine is another question.

But you could definitely get something that looks as good (or better) as Toy Story using eevee.

Love how the dog is like "No, the other cat" even though the cat didn't say anything. It's just the wrong cat in the Panel lol

Out go to prank was a shut down bat file, disguised as GTA.exe. We used to put that in a shared folder and waited for other students to shut down their computers.

We had to flip the mouses around at the end of every computer class so the teacher could check all the mouse balls were still there.

It's important to note that this isn't a hunch. This has been studied and proven. We know this is happening and nobody is doing anything on a political level to stop it.

I've been following the German election campaign very closely and the only time social media was even mentioned was when a young lady in one of the town hall formats asked if there were any plans to deal with the danger of social media in the context of impact on young people's development. The question was put to Alice Weidel. Her answer was basically “No idea. I haven't dealt with it yet”.

That was it. Otherwise, the topic wasn't even mentioned in any discussion round.

But every single discussion round opened with “the topic that every German is talking about”: migration migration migration migration. Wonder why everybody is talking about that?

I would like to emphasize this sentence from the article because it is simply true:

What we do in these next few months will determine whether Europe's liberal democracy survives or is lost for ever.

Something has to happen NOW, but nobody is talking about it. It's really exasperating.

Find ich richtig stark. Mochte den Song schon immer und find den Gedanken traurig, dass der nirgends mehr gespielt werden kann, weil man Angst haben muss, dass irgendein rechter assi anfängt widerliche Parolen zu gröhlen.

This is probably the most Solarpunk thing I've ever seen. Really cool!

In Europe we have public news broadcasters in every country, so relying on corporate news isn't a huge problem.

Anyway, a news outlet pushing propaganda and misinformation is not nearly as dangerous as a social media platform doing it via algorithm. The fact that the algorithm can give you exactly the kind of propaganda that will resonate with you is extremely dangerous.

Not saying privately owned news outlets with a huge reach aren't a problem, they definetely are, it's just a whole other dimension.

Corellation is not causation but in this case it is very suspicious and studies like these show that there might be causation That's why I said it's not proof but needs to be studied further.

And yes, of course I mean centralized, profit driven social media. But that is the overwhelming majority of social media.
