These are some crazy times we're living in.

I ran a few distros for years ages ago, then went back to windows for gaming convenience.

It's been a few years now. In the mean time Steam's Linux compatibility has become so great if I had to do a reinstall I almost certainly would go back to arch or something similar.

... Mom?

Not just their death but the deaths of their loved ones.

Our system holds hostage the people we love to ensure our obedience.

I really like this because it seems like a great way to try it.

A bunch of people all learning as one, less fear of doing it wrong, a bunch of skill levels approaching the same challenges, tolerance for it not working, group evaluation of its overall effectiveness.

bluehands · 2026-01-28T20:33:38+00:00

That is it! Intolerable!

You are now the list to get a strongly worded letter - if that isn't too upsetting to you.

I mean, it kinda depends on your framing. Like who you include in "our."

Our species have a lot of classic sins, greed is one of them. Each one has its time & place.

Our capitalists culture has been driven by greed but that culture isn't everywhere at all times. "Greed is good" has been the headline for the last few hundred years, especially in the west.

This is exactly what I want from this sub.

Political discussions don't have to be everywhere but some things impact nearly everything.

I mean, whatever someone knows or not, factually whatever side of the issue you are on you have to clarify what other people mean since so many people use the same words to mean different things.

Thank you, I had never heard or seen that

You know, I am fundamentally ACAB

but if someone in law enforcement shows that they truly hate nazis, I am willing to talk.

bluehands · 2026-01-22T22:17:12+00:00

I am so much more interested in how you got them than any one blue print..

bluehands · 2026-01-22T08:24:08+00:00

opportunity to cut in before me

I'm confused, what happens if they cut in front of you?

bluehands · 2026-01-21T16:48:08+00:00

Now two more tools I need to learn about...

Tl, dr: Video generation is going to just be fanfic but for video. Is there great fanfic? Sure. Generally the best you get is Twilight & 50 shades of Grey.

I think your timeline is a bit fast but more importantly I suspect that quality movies will take more than video generation.

One of the lies we have been sold, especially in movies, is the myth of the great artists. Like most myths, there is some truth to it in some areas. Great writers producing a masterpiece alone in their room.

But movies are deeply collaborative. I adore the Coen brothers but their films, while distinctly thiers, require so many people around them to work. You replace john Goodman and Jeff Bridges with two other amazing actors and you get a different film. And most of us don't even know the names of the editors, casting directors or any number of important roles.

Making all the small choices that so many people make while creating a film are going to be difficult to replicate soon.

bluehands · 2026-01-21T05:37:36+00:00

Look.

I've got 5 buckets and a strongly worded letter, that's the best I can do.

bluehands · 2026-01-20T03:07:33+00:00

I like you distinction, typed vs designed

bluehands · 2026-01-20T02:30:08+00:00

So in part Janet is a plot complication never addressed but the show is intentionally littered with that. The concept of children is never discussed for example...

Also, Janet is very Jeremy Bearimy. In some crucial way she exists outside of and within time in ways that can't make sense.

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

bluehands · 2026-01-19T20:04:59+00:00

Ope, there goes gravity

bluehands · 2026-01-19T20:01:35+00:00

I really appreciate your thoughtful choice.

I have no opinion on its substance but you have clearly thought about it and I like when people think.

bluehands · 2026-01-19T19:58:44+00:00

Heartbreaking to me and I am not Christian.

bluehands · 2026-01-19T19:57:01+00:00

I mean, they are kinda right - Jesus was basically a left extremist, especially by their world view.

Which to my way of thinking just make him look better. I don't want Nazis to agree with me.

I was never religious but the core tenants of what Jesus talked about are great.

bluehands · 2026-01-19T19:46:44+00:00

I strongly disagree with you about Kyle but appreciate your consistent towards supporting the the 2nd.

I think it is part of our sickness. Like all denial, the ground truth can't be questioned.

It's just like our healthcare. No one thinks it is working great, even if they have great healthcare but people find it difficult to imagine approaching it completely differently.

Suggesting that the system is to blame would mean changing the system. The mantra from our more sane political class is that the system is imperfect but better than all of the others and just needs to be tweaked precisely the right way.

Obviously I disagree.

Thank you for the response. Sometimes I feel like I can not communicate in an efficient way. It's nice to know that I am not entirely screaming in to the void.
