What I’m saying is that the show would have evolved to do more ads.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 5 days ago:
The level of risk Hollywood is willing to take on today is very low due to streaming. There is more competition for people’s attention and money.
They would rather take an IP that they know is popular than to take a risk on something unknown.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 5 days ago:
If the modern Internet has taught me anything, anything can be sponsored and embedded.
Much like today’s jail sponsor NordVPN. Ever feel like you can’t access anything because of where you live? That’s because some sites lock you in. With NordVPN, you can experience the internet the way it was meant to be by forwarding your connection to anywhere in the world. Use code ‘TRUMAN26’ for the first month free.
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 2 weeks ago:
If the goal is to reduce speeding, road design plays more of a factor more than cameras.
A fine means that it’s a revenue grab.

Vince Gilligan was born in Richmond!
- Comment on Anon found a plot hole 3 weeks ago:
House living in an apartment seems on brand. He’s the kind of guy to find a place that works and would never want to move.

CEOs after they approve recycling programs in their corporate offices after announcing mandatory return to office 5 days a week.

Because it allows conspiracy theorists maximum flexibility to wrap whatever pseudoscience into whatever objections they get as replies.

Which is the most profitable square. You sit in jail and continue to collect rent and then pay, what, $50 after three turns?
- Comment on Let's ask this AI app! 5 weeks ago:
I will trust AI 100% the minute any of the AI tech bros eat a mystery mushroom based purely on the output of AI content.

Gotta love they ask for your income level before asking your name.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I know nothing about mobile OS development. How realistic is it at this point for someone to fork Android?
I know that software like Edge and Iron Fox can be forked and worked on by independent people. But Android is developed to integrate tightly with proprietary hardware.

I do on my laptop. Mostly so I can present with one user that has a clean browser history.
My main user has access to all my porn.

Oh this shit is still going on. There were people in the late 90s early 00s that were counting down the days when the Olsen twins would turn 18.
Would not surprise me one bit if there are websites dedicated other child celebrities.

By this logic, I’m all fight as well.
Come at me.
- Comment on Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off 3 months ago:
Mozilla are using a similar model to Microsoft and open sourcing Firefox code under the MPL while distributing the executable under a new Terms of Service.
Firefox (the executable) is no longer considered FOSS since they can revoke your license at anytime. I posted a comment that details my personal view of this change.
TL;DR: they would have only done this if they planned on farming user data. And last month announced that they intend to do just that.
- Comment on Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off 3 months ago:
I’m okay with Opt-Out so long as it’s clearly marked.
I shouldn’t have to go into the config or click through 7 layers of UI just to opt out.
That said, this is a reminder that Firefox is no longer open source. It’s source available and you should use Waterfox or LibreWolf if you want a browser based on Firefox but without AI out of the box.
- Comment on Will they wake up before it's too late? 3 months ago:
Trump is proving once and for all that so long as he doesn’t get punished for it, everything he does is legal.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 months ago:
Nations can’t ignore the fact that the US has one of the active militaries in the world. Our Navy is more of less second to none and we have nukes. In the hands of a normal president, we might be fine but you sure as heck know that Trump and his Project 2025 people are just itching to launch one.
This is a situation where there are no good options. The best you can do is continue political pressure, get other nations to rally behind you in the hopes of creating a strong economic resistance.
But the real answer is that we, the US citizens, need to fucking take this country back. I hate to say it but protests simply aren’t enough anymore.
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 4 months ago:
Our education system values rote memorization over actually learning something. So instead of teaching you how to use the periodic table, they teach you “The element of Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1” etc.
A few teachers who actually give a fuck will do both, but they are required to teach the test for funding. Because that’s how they are graded.

There’s a season 2?! I thought it got cancelled after the first season.
- Comment on Obama's got jokes 5 months ago:
He essentially got it for not being Bush.
Not saying Donnie deserves it but we need to stop pretending that Obama getting the prize is some sort of achievement.
Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if the next elected Democrat president got it either.

Wait…WHAT?!
I don’t want to fact check this. Is this true? Is this what all the memes were about yesterday?!

I’d trust a Lemmy source more than a reddit source.
But that’s just me.
