  • For Total Recall, the point was that the state of the film was ambiguious. Were the events on screen the memories bought and paid for, or was it a real spy thriller.

    The remake answeres that question and ruins the entire premice of the film. This is a key example on why these Hollywoo "remakes" are widely panned, they usually miss the point of the origional art and audiences are dumber for it.

  • I was thinking using this to practice making web apps again. Find me in a year if I actually do...

  • Disagree, any barriers to participation can (and historiclly will) be abused by those in power. I understand the desire for a minimum level of expectation of society, but unless those expectations are set in stone, they will be moved to disadvantage someone. It would be nice for people to behave and be informed, the world does not work that way...

  • If you could pass an 8th grade civics class, you would know that testing for voting is peak jim-crow era BS.

    Go back and try again.

  • Hey now...

    That song rocks when its played by a proper brass band, it only sounds silly when you make it silly. Otherwise its a good march.

  • The main issues a lot of the FF purists on this site take with Brave is-

    1. its a chrome fork, which is a hard stop for them, and thats a good enough reason alone to avoid a product given how anti-corporate and anti-google the residents of this site are.
    2. the systems in the opt-in list are still part of the application. There is an anxiety that the developer may decide at a future time that those features are not opt-in/enabled by default after an update.

    So the natural response is to advocate for browsers that simply do not have those features and are open-source so that users can verify rather than trust the dev team to not put features like that in the product. Or rigoursly vet every update installed on your system to prevent that stuff from being installrd in an update, which is not viable for most people... (Run apt update/upgrade and manually approve every package change, we will see you in a few days).

  • Who's on first?

  • Note to self, car insurance is run by orks from 40k...

    Because painting things red makes them go faster.

  • Thanks... Sorry, venting is helpful sometimes.

  • [my response to the content of the post, not the lovely fediverse people]

    Apology not accepted. We appreciate that you finally noticed, but your stuborness has cost everyone dearly. You clearly have learned nothing, as you appear not to be changing your beliefs. You will still fall for the next shmuck to sing about how its ok to be an entitled mouth-breather, and we will do this all again in a few years.

    Have the day you voted for.

  • Ok, ill bite.

    Was reluctantly on Hinge a while back (was 31M at the time). My sibilings twisted my arm to make a profile and helped design it (I dont take pictures of myself so it was challanging to make). Overall expirence was negative to neutral, over ~2 years of minimal useage just to the profile active, threw 15$ at the app to see if it changed the algorithm (it does). IIRC ~12 replies, 3 first dates/meet-ups and 0 second dates. Cant say I put a ton of effort It so I wont lose sleep over anything.

    The shocking part of the whole thing was compairing results with my sister. She functionally did not need to go to the default feed, dozens if not hundreds of contact requests... We had a joke back when she was in college that if she felt like it, she would never have to pay for a dinner (obviosuly that would be a dick move, and she never took advantage of anyone, but the data was there).

    Once it became obvious that the platform was full of bots, dumby accounts, and was noticably trying to prey on desperate people with credit cards, I just moved on. Over all advice, if you find an app thats very new and not owned by match group, go for it, you will likely meet people earnestly trying to make connections. Otherwise, dont bother, go find a date the old fashioned way, outside.

  • For reference:

  • Um... Luxembourg? You ok bro?

    (Source the map plz, but ill get in on the ground floor for memes)

  • Honestly, something I would like to take a crack at, but fearing getting my domain black-listed has prevented me from attempting it.

    If the wizard wishes to share their wisdom, im all ears.

    Ill add it to the goals for 2026.

  • Look... If this was ancient Rome, that was politically fine, so long as you were on top.

  • They have a point, you have one chance to get your self-hosted emails config correct. If you fail or mess up somewhere your domain will get added to a bunch of anti-spam lists that major providors use and cross-reference. If that happens your domain will just be branded as spam and will never be able to effectivly use your fancy service email.

    • BEANS, CORN, ONION

    Our memes feel very old internet and I miss those times.

  • Its the secret to cooking for guests. Everyone is like "wow, your an amazing home-chef", and im just hoping noone notices the entire diced onion and minced garlic I carelessly threw into the meal.

  • My head canon is that Whoville is in a post-apocalypse type setting that has had multiple "end of the world" events, such as the people living in Caves of Qud. Couple of grey goo incidents could have made a world like that.

  • The latest patch reduced the file size dramaticly, so it runs a lot better.

    And as stated by others, for best expirence, play with friends, sweaty players tend to bounce off it as there is no rankings or ratings and global progress is slow. Have fun, Freedom and managed-democracy await your support.
