I highly recommend you check out his last…15 years of filmography. He’s quite a solid actor!

Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs
I am a filmmaker and have shot in 6k+ resolution since 2018. The extra pixels are great for the filmmaking side. Pixel binning when stepping down resolutions allows for better noise, color reproduction, sharpened details, and great for re-framing/cropping. 99% of my clients want their stuff in 1080p still! I barely even feel the urge to jump up to 4k unless the quality of the project somehow justifies it. Images have gotten to a good place. Detail won’t provide much more for human enjoyment. I hope they continue to focus on dynamic range, HDR, color accuracy, motion clarity, efficiency, etc. I won’t say no when we step up to 8k as an industry but computing as a whole is not close yet.

Just seen the latest American Opinion polls.
I think it’s the fact that Trump acts and surrounds himself with homophobic people so the idea of him giving head to his enemy he’s openly complained about is hilarious to no end. That and the actual implications with Putin holding the photos over his head.

I also see hoomans as collections of their individual pieces and am disgusted by their carbon-based appendages. One tried “speaking” to me by contracting disgusting throat muscles while exhaling air and flapping their boney-ingestion bear trap hole in strange ways. I saw small clouds of bacteria, viruses, and spit fly out of this hole. It was all very terrifying but I was horny. Worked out fine. Flesh bag’s aren’t so bad.

Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
You are completely correct and their comments prove it. The bubble is strong here. But it’s a pretty nice bubble

I support this but I find it fascinating the steam this can build and quick activism with guides and yet I never see any of this stuff when it comes to political policies

‘His brain is broken’: Critics torch ‘unstable’ Trump after wild social media meltdown
I read this same headline every two weeks since 2016 (great 4 year break in between)

Anon likes trains
To be honest, I haven’t seen anyone else mention the real reason: America allowed private companies to buy and own the lands under the rails in the 1800s in order to deal with the massive distances across the US to connect the West and East. 150 years later and just a few companies own almost all the track and rail across America. Almost all private, not public land. Public citizens and communities have very little control over the railways going through their communities. These companies lobby against and make it difficult to introduce new, public rail lines for a multitude of reasons. This is one of very many examples of how corporations abuse law, monopolistic practices, and media to lessen the power of American citizens.

Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?
I have absolutely seen this and experienced this. Although, I don’t think it’s much different from any teenager or young person working shitty jobs in any decade I’ve lived or seen in media. The silent teen staring you down at fast food is timeless.

5,000 mysterious holes carved into a Peruvian hillside were an 'ancient computer' used for accounting - 10bmnews
The computer or spreadsheet idea is a bit ridiculous to me on account of even ancient humans could devise the same method in a smaller scale without the backbreaking 5,000 holes being dug. Every other idea presented by the article makes sense to me.

Anon does some online shopping
Yeah, idk. 2005 internet sucked in a lot of ways too. Nostalgia doing a lot of work here

Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same?
From what I’ve experienced, it feels toxic in a bizarre liberal, Linux-nerd white knight kindof way. Which I think almost wraps back around to not being toxic at all and just feeling friendly in a passive aggressive way? Like going to a computer convention held on a hot, sunny beach. Sure, every here mostly agrees and likes the same geeky stuff but we can easily be too cranky about it, one way or another. Lemmy seems way more likely to engage in real conversation in comments and not just one-line jokes than Reddit. People seem more passionate about their hobbies or viewpoints. More likely to help if asked directly and detailed in response. It’s a cool place!

What are some methods of distributed civil disobedience for Americans?
The fact that top comments on Lemmy, a sophisticated platform, still don’t provide much leverage is a little worrying. I hope we can find a collective way to raise awareness in a news blind world. Shows how far the system has worked to block out civil protest moving markers anymore. My hope is that organized non-violent marches and banners becomes so prevalent that it’s impossible to ignore. Like how MAGA got its image annoyingly all over rural America.

Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers
Yo I pay for premium and it’s been fucking slow. Cancel my subscription? Guess I might need to.

Feeling insecure about going to a 'girlie pop' concert as a 30 year old man, am i overthinking it?
People don’t go to concerts to look at the audience. If anyone has a problem they are a gate keeping moron.

Paper is the new privacy measure.
This is very true. Minneapolis suburb here. They are following even old ladies back to their homes 30 min away.

His communication is harsh and demeaning towards you but he seems to be trying to help and care for you. All he knows is the life he has lived, sometimes people have a hard time imagining what you’ve gone through. Do what you want! I wouldn’t be too embarrassed. Parents and loved ones have helped each other out throughout all of time. Like others have said, just be polite and close the relationship if it’s a bad match!

YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy
This reminds me of old “solidarity” profile picture filters that came out after the Arab Spring and later for France. Solidarity was cool but 2 clicks and a picture that doesn’t amount in any significant action or real participation and is VERY ignorable by people above the line. News media will easily spin it into whatever narrative they want as well
