I like Trakt as a concept, I’ve used it sporadically, but their pricing was always optimistic, even at $30 a year. It has worked for them overall so far because it’s a well made project and people like them, but the value proposition of paying $5 a month now for something like Trakt feels crazy. It’s hard to look at different types of services at that price point and come to the conclusion that Trakt is comparable. There are actual streaming services creating some of the shows that show up on Trakt that are very similar in price (Dropout as a good example).

Only rational thing I can think of with this recent decision is that they’re tired of running Trakt and hoping to sell it off or close it up.

Almost definitely, side effects should partially mirror what you’d see in unassisted calorie restricted diets.

This was mostly pre internet and he’s just never addressed it making it a non story. He claimed he had amnesia and couldn’t remember the accident which definitely at least feels like it adds evidence to the drunk driving claims… But, nothing ever came of it.

He was driving with Jennifer grey, she’s talked about it a bit and is obviously still traumatized, but she still backs up the ‘he was sober’ story that they managed to sell at the time.

I’d be really curious to hear your thoughts after watching the secret life of Walter Mitty.

Matthew Broderick.

He’s an alright actor, but seeing him always reminds me of that time he got drunk (rumored) and killed two people with his car in Ireland but faced almost zero repercussions (he got a small fine).

If every Lemmy user donated $1…

You still wouldn’t have enough, but you’d be close.

Not wrong, but on the other hand, two of the Guinness verified longest living cats were said to drink a small bit of coffee with cream regularly.

Both were owned by the same guy and a 38 year old cat is a bit controversial, but: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creme_Puff_(cat)

Worst part is, those are usually the best ones.

It sounds like they’re trying to do whatever they can to replicate the previous functionality, but without the company who made it getting in the way, the hardware itself is kind of interesting. I hear the battery life sucks and nothing on it is exactly novel, but I’d be interested to see what people could do with it’s fancy display options combined with everything else.

They have shitty ARM too, they pull out all the stops on chromebooks.

Dual core ARM, new in 2021, its not alone: https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-home/chromebook/c203xa/

Intel also still has some celerons they make with dual cores right now.

Black Panther never dies.

It’s not common, but you can find some in really cheap chromebooks going back only a few years and those are prime candidates for Linux.

Hasn’t this Bethesda helmed Oblivion remake been in the rumors and ‘eventually’ stage since around 2021-2022? Feel like skyblivion team has had plenty of time to get used to it at this point, but has something changed recently to make the bethesda version more relevant?

I bought two sets of Govee Glide wall lights for my Office and I can’t imagine how I would improve on them beyond just doing more to make them look ‘built in’. It’s a bit of a step up from an LED light strip.

Personal opinion, but for android at least, I always though nzb360 was dramatically better. May be a good alternative for anyone who will be missing LunaSea there.

Too bad about iOS though, the options there have always been sparse.

Patents are frequently intentionally as vague as possible. You’re operating from the perspective that an item is patented to protect an idea as opposed to being weaponized to make money. You are for sure 100% going to be doing something where it’s arguable that it could fall under an existing patent. You might still win if you want to pay to fight it out in court.

I think they’re saying that proof you researched patents could be used to prove that you willfully violated a patent or could be used as evidence that your work that you may see as unrelated was inspired by something patented.

I’ve tried before, that sounds horrible, why are you doing that to yourself.

I’ve worked at not small companies who still thought that was too much work to mess with.

More than one company has gotten to the prototype stage. Don’t remember any huge companies, but there’s video out there. You don’t realize how much the form factor sucks until it’s real.

Plus side, you won’t have to worry about it for long.
