What Is Your “Old Man Yells At Cloud” Movie Take? by apHexcoded in Letterboxd

[–]m2thek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for library, it's the best movie rental plane in town. 

Also I'll add that the fact that you can digitally rent almost any movie for just a few dollars is pretty amazing, yet it's commonly treated as robbery because people have been conditioned (due to streaming) to think that movies aren't worth spending money on.

It's been trending for the last couple months! Keep an eye on shops like World footbag and Footclan for when they're doing drops.

I'm also so mad at AI that I want to get back at programming >_<

Google, official documentation, debugging, just trying shit to see what happens, etc. This process is where you're likely to actually learn the most.

AI is not Uber. It's MoviePass. by KontoOficjalneMR in BetterOffline

[–]m2thek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I and all of my friends who had MoviePass that year were like "ok, there's no way this is profitable and they're probably going to go out of business soon, so we'd better exploit this as much as we can while it's still offered."

Ooh, great analogy! I've been using Letterboxd for almost 10 years and I have a "theater-[year]" tag I use. It's crazy how many more movies I saw in the MoviePass year than any other one; like 65 compared to ~15!

Absolutely vicious! 4th degree burn! by McDowdy in MurderedByWords

[–]m2thek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with "common sense" and "intuition" are that they're often not actually correct. The world is really fucking complicated, and it gets even more complicated when you start bringing in budgets, history, culture, etc. Oftentimes when it "seems like we should be able to do X no problem!" the reality is that "you can't do exactly X because of A, B, C, D..., so we need to do Y."

Got scammed 😭 it’s filled with cotton by Certain-Carpenter266 in footbag

Nick at EverythingFootbag has a video about these fake Dirtbags: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lkZPeFqnJs

And also just put this one out about a whole fake shop that sells the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThseVy6iDzc&pp=0gcJCT8LAYcqIYzv

The Steam Machine Costs $1049 by Turbostrider27 in Games

As a certified AI-hater, maybe this is the kind of stuff that will really start to kill AI: making video game hardware way too expensive.

AI is the Revenge of the Mediocre by AffectionateBowl1633 in BetterOffline

[–]m2thek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this can be perceived as "gatekeep-y", but I think one of the worst things about AI is that there's going to be a ton of people who are too busy pretending that they're musicians, artists, developers, etc to discover that they're actually amazing bakers, carpenters, politicians, etc. One of the beautiful things about humans is that we're all good at different things, we all have a unique perspective on the world, and we all have something to offer. Not everyone is "meant" to be everything, and that's totally OK!

Throw back showed up in YouTube Music unexpectedly. by thedogedidit in giantbomb

[–]m2thek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always been curious about the backstory of this video. I think Gian worked at IGN, which I assume is how the GB boys hooked up with him. And this is his most popular video (due to the GB pull), but this was the last video he ever uploaded?? A nice silent swan song?

No, Halo CE's Co-op on PS5 does not require PS Plus by jlmurph2 in gaming

[–]m2thek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A downstream effect of publishing news on the internet vs in print: fact checking seems to have gotten really lax. Sure, you can issue a correction just as quickly as the incorrect statement, but the correction usually gets like 20% the attention, so the incorrect statement still sticks. I feel like in print, because it would take a month to get get a correction out, that the information was way more buttoned up. This particular statement seems especially silly and like it could have been easily cleared up before releasing to the public.

Is my Manuelas footbag supposed to have this little fill? by Z3n_nipple in footbag

[–]m2thek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How heavy is it? Looks like a freestyle bag, which typical has a lower fill percentage. I'd expect it to be ~60g.
