  • Everyone is stealing TV

    Jump

  • and D) I'm not going to give money to institutions like cable TV where a percentage of my money ends up with Fox News, or Paramount whose ownership is in bed with Trump, or Amazon and Bezos for obvious reasons. Go on down the line, fuck em all.

  • Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors

    Jump

  • not hundreds of thousands. they are too expensive to be that common.

  • Humanity has “lost the fight against climate change”

    Jump

  • This false dichotomy between "lost" and "won" against climate change is not a helpful message at all.

    Yes, we have done irreversible harm to the earth, but every little bit we can limit temperature rise over 1.5C will avoid even worse outcomes. Telling people that we've "lost" is self defeating. If people believe that then we truly will lose everything.

  • Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paper

    Jump

  • Of course there are kids with disabilities or nuerodivergence, and common sense should handle what is best for them individually. We're talking about broad policy here, laptops should not be the default.

  • also counterproductive, handwriting is better for retention.

  • BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair

    Jump

  • that’s not the only issue, it’s also just a plainly worse design that will likely lead to lots of broken screws and bits.

  • Cloudflare now serves sites in Markdown to AI agents

    Jump

  • don’t “reader” views in web browsers essentially accomplish the same thing?

  • Trump FTC wants Apple News to promote more Fox News and Breitbart stories

    Jump

  • and here i thought busineeses had freedom of speech and the absolute right to control what appears on their platform.

  • The X-Files Is Returning: Vince Gilligan Helps Shape a New Adaptation

    Jump

  • it's not just xfiles, i think TV/hollywood in general does that.

  • Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters— Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

    Jump

  • There's a big difference between being pro-state-of-Israel (Zionist), and being pro-jewish-people in general. They do not necessarily go hand in hand.

    Fundamentalist christians are typically Zionist because the state of Israel is necessary for the second coming of christ. It's entirely self-serving, not a belief they hold because they like jewish people at all. So being zionist and also antisemitic is pretty common because people are racist assholes.

  • Bethesda could have made a Fallout movie or TV show a decade ago, but "credit to Todd Howard," they refused Hollywood's offers until they found "the right partner"

    Jump

  • The right partner? You mean the one that makes the most money. You partnered with Bezos, dude. The show is alright, but it was clearly made to appease a wide market.

    why would you expect any less? TV is made to make money, it is what it is.

    You didn’t want a “video game movie director”, but you still made the equivalent of the Mario Movie.

    oh come on, that's ridiculous. Who would you have preferred to make it?

    A little more fan service wouldn’t kill the show. Reading journals, hacking computers, feral ghouls, side quests. A little faster pace would help too.

    You can say the exact same stuff about The Last of Us which is also well done. Some things just wouldn't translate well to TV, especially with 8 episode seasons.

    Look I'm not even trying to say you're wrong for wanting something different, but at least acknowledge it could have been a lot worse, like the Halo TV show.

  • for half a day yeah, minus clouds etc. That requires expensive batteries or grid power especially in winter.

    In space the idea is to use orbits where they can catch 24 hours of sun.

  • Is Wikipedia's Volunteer Model Facing a Generational Crisis?

    Jump

  • am i crazy or don’t most articles already have perfectly good summaries? i dont even buy the premise here.

  • Is Wikipedia's Volunteer Model Facing a Generational Crisis?

    Jump

  • This is crazy. Articles already start with perfectly good summaries. look at your example:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II

    the very first paragraph is this:

    World War II[b] or the Second World War (1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945) was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Alliesand the Axis powers. Nearly all of the world's countries participated, with many nations mobilising their resources in pursuit of total war. Tanks and aircraft played major roles, enabling the strategic bombing of cities and delivery of the first and only nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II is the deadliest conflict in history, causing the death of over 60 million people. Millions died in genocides, including the Holocaust, and by massacres, starvation, and disease. After the Allied victory, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea were occupied, and German and Japanese leaders were put on trial for war crimes.

    Why do we need any more summaries than that?

  • Wonder Man review – a Marvel TV show with almost no superhero action … and it’s all the better for it

    Jump

  • just finished it. this could be recency bias talking but it may be the best marvel show yet (not that it’s a high bar). as the article says it’s a much different vibe than any other marvel show, it’s much more focused on the characters rather than superhero action.
