They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.
My two cents is there’s a structural issue that’s converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you’ll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.
Ooh yeah, I never thought about that. While I disagree with some of my funcitonals, I don’t die inside knowing it’s going to be painful to people viewing ads.

Yeah, this kinda hit me whenever my first pair of AirPods died because I was using them so much. They have such tiny batteries, so a percentage difference in total charging capacity was felt quicker. Additionally, the use-case lends to them being discharged almost completely, which hurts life further. While it’s convenient, I realized I was paying a really sharp subscription service where there’s no service from the manufacturer to continue the use of the parts and ultimately the product is designed to be landfill debris.
I switched to a wire after that.
Or – Christ it’s 2023 – Apple’s first fucking USB-C phone. Holy mother of god, having one stupid cable for the devices I want was a siren song of a mad god, but we’re finally here.
In 2023
This may sound argumentative, it isn’t:
The capitalist pitched the infrastructure cost to the government, design of transportation and city design flex around them, and now you need to buy the privilege to participate in society back from them. Where I live public transport is basically non-existent (unless you just so happen to live in a wealthy area, oddly enough) and I’ve known people trapped in poverty because no car means no job, but job don’t pay, so they work for car because everyone is laser focused on the merits for the individual over the collective. Even if it’s cooking the environment and is inefficient for moving people en-masse as well.
In the example you gave why not offer a train station that goes to the city? I’m one of the fortunate few that can take the train into the city and it has been ideal. Just me, my e-bike, and the train. No insurance; no emissions. It’d be perfect save the two tons of metal flying around me constantly.
It’s certainly on my list alongside Debian. It’s a shame, since my distro of choice is Fedora but I’ll switch next time I need to re-install my OS. If they throw opt-out telemetry into the mix I’m dipping immediately. Sure, I could opt out, but I don’t want to fuck it up.
Absolutely vile. It’s quite literally on their front page.

Care to share a link if you have it readily available? Otherwise I can hunt around for it :)
Oh man, I dunno, I could put my foot down at work — but judging how the Windows-folk react in my personal life whenever anything goes wrong the first words out of their mouth is “Oh, is this a [MacOS, Linux] thing?”
More often than not it’s not an issue related to the OS. I couldn’t imagine it dialed up to 11 in a professional development environment.
Yeah, for now people are still going to incidentally use reddit for human-written non-seo optimized text.
Heck, I needed it last night for help with my computer.
I guess he found out that selenium script kiddies like myself can simply scrape the website instead of paying the api fees. It’s not as efficient — or maybe my scripts just suck — but you can’t beat free!
Or, more cynically, they’re making the app more painful to use if you aren’t paying for it.
Honestly, KotoR has been really nice. It never occurred to me that the game would port to mobile so well.
Also two friends of mine made a game called Senpei. They’re a disgusting married couple that both work from home out of the same office. One does art; the other is a game dev. The bastards.
