Google doesn’t fucking work anymore.

True, but that is by choice. kagi.com has an agreement to use Google’s API directly and they have much better search results than Google itself.

I watched the Borderlands movie at the cinema. The most entertaining part was how disappointed the audience was. I mean, I knew it was trash. I hoped it would at least be entertaining trash, but no, that movie is just extremely boring.

The TRON franchise has always been in the wrong hands. Disney is doing the bare minimum with it, to not lose the license.

The first movie was great, TRON 2.0 is one of the best games ever made and I also liked TRON: Uprising (which was promptly cancelled after one season, of course). Everything else is just mid or mediocre.

The director admitted he doesn’t even have a plan for the future in an interview, and that really shows. No one significant dies in the final episode, basically nothing happens, so they can leave everything open for season 2.

So over the top that it’s fun again. Throughout the movie, the snakes get progressively bigger until these MASSIVE snake-like schlongs get sucked out of the plane at the end. :D So unrealistic and ridiculous!

And of course, a snake had to bite into a nipple.

They wanted to make really funny and entertaining trash and they did.

As long as it’s ultimately decided that “Alien: Earth” is not canon, yeah. Let it be forgotten, especially that atrocious final episode.

Adobe products (Web is not the same)

Photoshop and Illustrator do work, but getting them to run is painful.

• you have to build a separate version of wine from source code and apply a patch to it
• it needs to be cracked (the licensing stuff does not work)
• it has to be installed on Windows and the files need to be copied manually (the installer doesn’t work)

I have done it and use it regularly, but it’s not that trivial.

But Linux is (mostly) not performant for gaming, at least not on Nvidia.

That’s true. If you really want to switch to Linux full-time, going with Nvidia is gonna be painful. Drivers have improved a lot over the last few years (especially on Wayland), but there are still so many small bugs and problems that add up and drive you crazy if you have to deal with them every day.

That’s why I sold my 3060. I had a 12GB model and for a period of a few months, the Nvidia drivers were just completely broken and I couldn’t even launch into a graphical interface (I guess they didn’t test that much VRAM because most models only had 8GB), so I had to go back to earlier (even buggier) builds. Even after they finally fixed that there were still constant graphical glitches and stuttering on Wayland with KDE…it worked, but it wasn’t fun.

Since I switched to an RX7800XT everything just works out of the box and I often get even better performance than on Windows. Just a few FPS here and there, but it’s still nice.

Nvidia doesn’t care. They do the bare minimum to make their cards somewhat work on Linux, but it’s not enough.

You can even combine them all and use Heroic Games Launcher.

That’s true, but there is a project called “ruffle” now, which is written in Rust and can play .swf files. So if you really want, you can still build Flash animations and share them online.

Ruffle also runs in browsers, thanks to wasm.

Oh yes, I miss mature characters in modern animes. I’m so tired of stupid Lolis 😭

80’s anime had believable characters that didn’t all look like they were 10-12 years old. Cyber City Oedo, Robot Carnival, Patlabor…great stuff.

Same here, I forced myself away from that platform. Took me a few weeks to get settled and find all the right communities, but it worked out well!

The Guardians of the Galaxy game did that, at least a little bit. The game seemingly ends, credits are rolling and then they slowly start to glitch out and some of the names are replaced with the name of the antagonist.

Then the credits crash out and a second bossfight starts. You can kinda see it coming, but it was still pretty cool for them to do that.

We’re not on YouTube, this is a free platform. We can say “Fuck” and “Shit” here and that’s amazing.

Goddamn amazing.

And here I was, believing this damn clanker would revolutionize the movie industry!

(just kidding)

Edit: This man is on fire!

I watched that movie for the first time last month and it was so horrible and fabulous and incredible at the same time. By “horrible” I’m talking about the character design of the Skeksis. They really are nightmare fuel!

The Netflix series is also very good. But sadly, they pulled the plug after one season. I guess all of those puppets cost a lot of money.

So if they can get funding for another movie, let’s go!

a far superior experience to a smart phone

I don’t have to wear my smartphone on my head, though. Smart glasses will always lose in that regard.

I never saw it in 3D, so that is actually amazing. They’re showing it in the massive ballroom of an old 1950s cinema here and I’ll definitely watch it, because I love the atmosphere. 🥰 (it has a balcony and those classic red seats!)

They also randomly delete albums and state increased playcount by AI as the reason for removal, and they also allow random dudes publishing remixes on your own artist profile, because there are no checks in place. You can just fill out the artist name in a text field and publish a song:

The artist KARRA recently made a video about it which went viral.
(She also made this meme release up top to prove how broken the system is.)

So fuck Spotify in every way you can. They don’t deserve the money, since they’re clearly doing nothing for the artists with it.

Of all movies out there to get a sequel/remake, I did not have this 80’s boobfest on my list of possible candidates. 😝 (I really enjoyed the second movie, though. Maybe they can pull it off and it’ll actually be good.)
