ANNIVESARY (2025) movie has been marginalized for being the biggest MAGA TAKE-DOWN project yet.

This stunning movie will appeal to those of us that want to see justice, and I believe it will actually act as a mirror for MAGAs who might be seeing themselves for the first time ever if they watch it.

I no almost no one who has seen it, so if you have, please chime in. And is it news? Absolutely. Feature motion picture that might make a difference almost completely censored? Left to try to penetrate in a zeitgeist filled with piffle and distraction?

Love to hear what others think.

Wondering where the MAGA take-down movie is? I found it: ANNIVERSARY (2025)

My wife and I watched this movie last night and we were speechless for twenty minutes. It’s breathtaking. The biggest question that came to my mind was this: How had I never heard of it?

I dare say this is by design. You can check the Wiki page on it’s production for more on this.

But more importantly: watch it. Start to finish. Start spreading it. I can’t think of anything more important than simply spreading this movie right now. For supporters of Bernie… it’s a slam dunk jaw dropper. But for MAGAs it’s a mirror. And that’s the most beautiful element.

I have no one to talk to about this movie, besides my wife, so please, if you have seen it, chime in.

Discussions in the past about not being able to access digital gaming content that users had paid for...

I have a recollection of some long threads about some companies discontinuing gaming content and members of Lemmy having strong feelings and evidence about all this. I have been trying to search these older threads up but I can't find them. Does anyone remember these conversations? What companies were involved? Games? How much data was basically disappeared?

Armed soldiers in mountains near LA

Decades ago my friends and I stole a car in Los Angeles and took a drive into the mountains just outside of LA. I was in high school and this was BEFORE all celular proliferation so we didn’t know where to go or what to do — we were shit thieves and one of us saw keys in a car and we jumped on it. Anyway — we ended up heading up a what I remember as a mountain road — and it couldn’t have been where Griffith park is or the Hollywood hills — likely, now that I think about it, we were so scared where headed east on the 210.

We figured we wouldn’t get caught if we just took the car into the mountains and drove home in the morning. Kidsarefuckingstupid

Anyway — the road we were on turned into a dirt road and we came around a bend and our headlight lit up two soldiers in full gear — helmets and automatic rifles so we stopped and they started screaming:

TURN AROUND AND LEAVE!! Leave now!!!

We left.

And got close enough to home to ditch the car and walk.

But this isn’t about our idiot joyride — this is about WTF soldiers.

Can anyone connect these dots? What were the soldiers doing?

(Also — I shared this because I MISS LA and I come to this community and find no post for a month! Shame on you! :-) but seriously — expates need your pics of parks etc.)

Difference with "Select" and "Copy" availability between browsers

It is my hope that Privacy is the community for this. I think freedom to use browsers the way we intend is a privacy issue.

We have likely all seen or heard that the “Select All” option has been removed from Safari — don’t hate me, I won’t be doing apple again.

That said, manual SELECTING of text still exists.

Here’s the privacy issue:

When I SELECT a small amount of text, I am offered the COPY option.

When I SELECT a few hundred words, even at Gutenberg, I’m given zero time to hit the copy button.

Just now I shifted to Firefox and had zero problem doing what I needed to do.

Could other interested folks confirm this SAFARI bug/irritant/annoyance?

Here’s the page I was using:

https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/766/pg766.txt

In safari, check what happens if you try to copy five words vs. 300 words.
