Even a fragment of the infinite is boundless. Hope always endures. 🌌

  • TIL: A Bob the Builder version of Mambo No. 5 topped the UK charts, before being removed from radio play due to its lyrics about building construction and that it was charting during September 2001

    Jump

  • For those that it may be unclear to, the song was removed after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks occurred in the United States. "The station's executive music producer Colin Martin describing the song as being 'too frivolous in light of the news that was breaking'".

  • Probably the reason I rewatch so much Star Trek. I love seeing what humanity is capable of.

    (Yes, I still read/watch dystopic and apocalyptic stories, but I've been doing this less and less because it's honestly depressing when I look at society today and realize this seems to be where we're heading instead).

  • Unfortunately, I won't care what the history books will say because I will long be dead and forgotten as well.

    I cannot hope in the hereafter because there simply is no plausible basis for such, as nice as the thought of justice in the hereafter would be.

    No. If there is justice to be had, it would need to be in this lifetime to be considered such. Anything less is our failing of today.

    sighs Such a crummy species we can be. The only thing I can hold on to is the fact that human progress has trended towards the better and hopefully it will continue that direction (presuming we don't obliterate ourselves). It's too bad I won't be around to see that.

  • Coming to a wall near you

    Jump

  • When one focuses on the whole, they can see the positive progression of humanity. It is indeed better than ever. Humans are living longer and healthier and with more dignity than before. But... it's much too slow. I've only this single life. We truly are capable of so much more... if we really wanted.

    It's too bad I wasn't born much later. I'd like to see humanity at its best. But I suppose there's just as much chance that we'll obliterate ourselves.

    There is very little I can affect and experience in my lifetime, and so I will do with my time what I might. But goodness, there are some hard days... and years.

  • Oh, wow. 😏

    Seriously. With the amount of anger regarding the Epstein files, I have zero confidence that real consequences will be paid by the perpetrators and those who looked away. I've even less hope in justice for the victims...

    I really need some hope in this. Please. 😞

  • What's your preferred version to watch Deep Space Nine? Is AI upscale worth it?

    Jump

  • This is the first I have heard of AI upscaling. If it makes people happy, the good for them. It's always great when people watch great content like this long after it aired.

    Personally, I prefer to stick with the originals. In this case, DVD rips since i no longer watch DVDs. If the streaming versions have been updated, then I watch those just fine. I don't care about the difference between Blu-ray or standard DVD. No need for special processing.

    It's the stories that matter most to me.

    I don't watch 4k television. I don't have dolby surround sound. When I update hardware, I usually disable various technologies that supposedly make the experience better. (Like that feature that makes everything look like a soap opera).

    Things like film grain don't bother me. It's what I grew up with. I always watch media with captions. I like foreign films and television. Black and white can be great. Etcetera.

    The story and great acting. That's what I love.

  • Yeah, I saw the GitHub issue assigned. Good luck to them.

    As for pipepipe, I was curious if it was actually working. Just installed, tested, uninstalled. On my end, it's behaving the same (but with a less helpful error message). No content plays.

    I'm happy to exercise patience while the newpipe team does their thing. I'm really grateful for what they've been able to provide thus far.

  • ‘Eternally spellbinding’: the TV shows that baffle you – but you can’t get enough of

  • Several good shows on that list. Wishing some of them were able to get more seasons and finish up those wacky story lines. 🫤
