  • Anyone got any thoughts on, praises of, and criticisms of Njalla?

    Jump

  • I'm on PorkBun now, but I've used Njalla for a few years and had no issues with them. The reason I switched was simply because I wanted to own the domain, because with Njalla the domain isn't actually yours, it's registered to Njalla. Note that this is by design, in the sense that when someone looks up the domain, they won't get your info, but Njalla's instead. After a while, I've gotten less comfortable with the idea of someone else owning the domain I paid for, so I switched.

  • Apparently there was a communist march in Philadelphia

    Jump

  • Not ragging on you, OP, but man what a sensationalist title. Before you even begin to read the article, you get "Ideology linked to 100 million deaths" shoved in your face. And no mention of how many deaths have been associated with capitalism, big surprise. The website's design is kind of ass, too.

    Anyway, the muskrat has condemned the whole affair... which I would say means the marchers are doing something right.

  • You either die a hero or become the villan

    Jump

  • Okay yeah, true enough. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that people are now much less likely to go see a mediocre to bad superhero movies. To give an example, the first two Thors and Iron Man 3 weren't great, but they were still box office hits. I have to wonder if it would pan out the same way if they were released today.

  • I hate it when people just say that a meme is "a repost" and refuse to elaborate

    Jump

  • Soooo, would this be a riposte to a repost?

  • You either die a hero or become the villan

    Jump

  • Yes, that would be one heck of a twist... if they hadn't revealed Dr. Doom's identity at Comic-Con. And we don't even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they're making, they would have kept RDJ's involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.

    Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:

    • This Dr. Doom is an alternate universe version of Tony Stark. But if this is true, why the heck would they spoil the reveal?
    • Second option is even worse: no alternate universe chicanery. This is MCU's version of Doom. But that's just lazy casting.

  • You either die a hero or become the villan

    Jump

  • Yes, hello. I recently found out that wikipedia has a whole article about you and the, uh, challenges you have faced over the years. In light of this, have you considered renaming your mascot to Dicky Louse?

  • You either die a hero or become the villan

    Jump

  • I smell desperation. There's ten of thousands of actors out there and they decide to re-hire RDJ? It feels like they're counting on his star power to save their precious Marvel shows and/or movies. It won't help, of course, because bad casting isn't why people stopped watching. People are superhero'ed out and yet they're pumping out Marvel shit like there's no tomorrow. And I do mean shit, the quality of Marvel movies fell off sharply after Endgame. The talent just isn't there, man. Stop.

  • What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • Can vouch for Posteo. I've been using them for years and I have no reason to switch anytime soon. They're privacy focused, the price is great, there's IMAP support and CalDAV too and a bunch of other things.

  • So, horrendous clock design aside, when is Guiness time? At U o'clock or is it at like half past E or something?

  • Sharks in Brazil test positive for cocaine, say scientists

    Jump

  • Like so:

    Cocaine pollutes the sea due to sewage discharges from humans who use the drug, as well as the illegal laboratories that produce it, study co-author Enrico Mendes Saggioro, an ecotoxicologist at the foundation, told CNN on Tuesday.

    And as a side-note: cocaine being dumped at sea was considered as a possibility, but was ruled out:

    Previous research suggested that cocaine dumped at sea by traffickers could be responsible for contamination, but that is not the case here, said Mendes Saggioro. “We don’t usually see many bales of coke dumped or lost at sea here, unlike what is reported in Mexico and Florida,” he said.

  • Elon Musk’s anger over trans daughter triggered mission to ‘destroy the woke mind virus’

    Jump

  • Could you call this cognitive dissonance? It's no secret that Musk is a control freak and once he learned his child changed genders, his first reaction was to make up a "mind virus" (whatever the fuck that means) to blame.

  • GNOME vs KDE Plasma in 2024: which one is better for Linux beginners?

    Jump

  • I would say it depends on the user. Some might feel more at home with KDE, because the layout is similar to Windows. Some might be coming from macOS, so they would be more at home with Pantheon. Some might choose GNOME, because...

    Anyway, the answer is none of the above, it's terminal only. Get good or get out. Using graphics is for quitters.

  • Why is HD or 3D so impressive on a flat screen, but we walk around in real life with the highest definition possible and the most realistic 3D and it's completely mundane?

    Jump

  • Get a better GPU. You can see everything going to shit in hyper realism.
