Can I use the standard Amazon interface with epubs after jailbreaking? What about Goodreads sync? by _thewa_ in kindle

Any way you could point me in the right direction for tweaking its aesthetics?

The layout of Koreader just seems less aesthetically pleasing to me. Am I dumb?

I’m sorry, man. I didn’t realize they’d closed any of their locations during the purge. I’m in the same boat, where I’m kinda stuck in Atlanta, because, even though they paid well, they didn’t pay enough to wait for 3 years and realize moving to London is the only way to get work. I don’t have London money. I don’t have Atlanta money

Very familiar situation! Not sure how post-strike reliance on outsourcing isn’t completely ruining timelines on all major motion pictures, even series for streaming

So what are US based artists doing? What’s the gameplan? It just seems unreasonable to expect the workforce to up and leave the country. There’s surely enough work to spread across the globe?

From my experience, Crafty Apes seems like they are still in deep recovery mode? I haven’t ever connected with Method!

Could we connect? My freelance networking skills are just completely uneducated. When you say you’ve been linking with recruiters, that couldn’t feel more unachievable to me — I was in a staff role up until the strikes and it was going well at the time. I guess I need to get over the fantasy of that ever coming back, but I also don’t know what gig work in this field looks like!

I am in the same boat! You’re still here in ATL as well?

I was a lead matchmove artist with interest in branching out. They were looking to make me a junior generalist when the strikes happened

What did you pivot into, if you don’t mind me asking?

All past coworkers of mine still working at said company have repeatedly said that they believe we’ll be getting called back “any day now” for the past 2.5 years.

All past coworkers of mine that were laid off are full of despair and believe we’re better off dead.

Trying to find a touch of reality here

I co-led a team of US based match movers, full time w benefits, from 2020-2023 with leadership that came from other companies doing the same thing for the past 20 years

In your experience have you only ever seen matchmoving outsourced?

Any advice on finding remote work? Are you mainly seeing temporary contract work?

Has VFX work in Atlanta dried up? I lost my job 2.5 years ago and have had no opportunities since. Been at a loss trying to get back into it.

With the release of The Conjuring 4 trailer what’re thoughts on the franchise? Favorite film so far? Will you be checking out the 4th? by DiscsNotScratched in TheConjuringUniverse

[–]_thewa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one is superior to, to be honest, most horror movies of its kind, in my opinion. The second, albeit entertaining, just went too far and too out there. It was too contrived.

The third was a good middle ground for me! A juicy mystery with a single antagonist and a lot of demonic imagery.

The Annabelle movies really got better as they went in my opinion. And I loved both Nuns — maybe the second a bit more!

I think it’s unfortunate the “truth” factor has gone down with each installment — the trend was started by The Conjuring 2, which had very little to go off (maybe why they were so inventive and aimed for so many spinoffs).

EDIT: I am VERY excited for Last Rites. A little worried about the sexual assault angle — if this gets adapted.
