The movies of the 70s are more a product of LSD than cocaine. And Zardoz is definitely one of the movies worth watching.

This basically is the stereotype I am coming from. So far, the answers don’t contradict it.

What browsers really should implement is to store all third party cookies in a jar for the specific site I am on until I navigate to another domain or close the tab. The cookies are saved and returned to the 3rd party sites embedded in the site I use. But if the same 3rd party sites are also embedded in other sites, they have to send fresh cookies.
Cookies become useless for tracking and all the legislation specifically around them can be axed.

The cultural impact is to prove that setting a new bar for mind-blowing gorgeous CGI was still possible a decade after Babylon 5. The Way of Water repeated that incredible feat.
I didn’t watch that Fire And Ash yet; so don’t know whether it further ruins every single other modern movie further or just keeps them disappointing by reinforcing standards which seemingly no one else is willing to consider.

James Cameron proved that there is a massive market for movies without witty punchlines and convoluted plots which require one to have the booklet (or nowadays phone) at hand to read along like when going to the opera.
He took the most overused classic western plot and made it work great on the big screen for a heterogenous global audience. He didn’t need any well-established franchise to back his adaptation of “White men invade land of natives; all hope is lost. But then one of the whites turns out to be the savior and helps the natives to repel the invasion.”
It was refreshing to watch a movie that let me pick a side without coming up with some forced gotcha-everything-is-morally-gray bullshit. That shit even infested the comic adaptations by now.

The plot couldn’t be more bland. The characters couldn’t be more forgettable. The movies still are masterpieces regardless. Yes, I cringed at some points. But overall, they were a great experience. And yes, I also like Western.

Btw, Papyrus is a fitting choice for the title font.

Did he use that filter purely for anonymity? He looks better without it.

I got app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin from the kzd overlay. The overlay is in the eselect repository list.

If you actually need a car, this one is the most important cost saving measure:

• Drive a reasonably sized car which isn’t optimized to exploit laws made for trucks.

Yeah, Gentoo isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
And don’t worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It’s all about choice after all…

Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.

It’s called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it’s not knowledge.

Nah, AI isn’t that good. When you don’t properly review every single line twice, you get the most absurd bullshit you’ve ever seen.
I use Claude Code Opus daily btw.

Sounds just like the usual crazy to me. Better stay away. It’s not worth it if you aren’t also crazy yourself.

Nah, Linux isn’t made by Apple.

Distros basically are OSes. You get some choices of kernel with some choices of userland and some choices of desktop environment. Additionally, you get some update mechanism and optionally some customized looks, tools, and/or sets of settings. That’s all what an OS really is.

To be fair, I did recommend Window 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 to random people. It somehow stopped.
I play on Gentoo, btw.

Computing was never as great as it is now. Never before did we have so much free open source software at such a high level of quality to use and tinker with. Never before was it this easy to find help for the most obscure problems. Never before was playing on Linux a viable option.

But online and offline social networking really got enshittified a lot. 3rd spaces online like offline are fully commercialized. Online, everything is remembered and if it can be used against you, it will be used against you either by the government or some rando just because they can.
But you can use a VPN and as many pseudonyms as you need to properly separate your community-specific personas. And if you live in a city of religious fanatics, the internet also is a great to find like-minded people. There are communities for everything.

Every picture taken after the first is also an “after” picture.

To be fair, Iran briefly had a democracy. The elected leader immediately started to nationalize the oil industry. Obviously, The Great US Empire had to immediately regime change him.

The reason most countries opposing The Great US Empire have autocratic regimes is evolutionary pressure. The countries who tried to go with a democracy either became vassals of The Great US Empire or got regime changed into chaos or an autocratic regime by The Great US Empire.

Just ask your maid where she gets her nails done.

Nothing wrong with “vibe coding”, “prompting”, “generating” or the other terms associated with using AI to generate something.

If you do proper quality assurance, and assume ownership and accountability it is your piece of work. If not, it’s AI slop.
