- Comment on Was a TV show you like ever ruined by the addition of a particular character to the point that you had to quit, or nearly quit? 4 days ago:
Wasn’t the cool cop named Homer Simpson in the pilot, who then became an idiot laughing stock, causing people also named Homer Simpson to change their name to Max Power, after a hairdryer?
And that’s the end of that case.

- Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso? 1 week ago:
If you can sacrifice quality, you can encode the videos at a lower bitrate, but that is lossy compression, not lossless. Also, if your videos are in h.264 codec, then transcoding them to h.265 and preserving the quality may be a way to get the files smaller. You would use a tool meant for video, like Handbrake for this, and not winrar or other generic compression tool.

- Comment on Did sites end up making money from API restrictions? 2 weeks ago:
Basically, each of these sites used open standards and APIs as a way to grow their service. Eventually once they got to the user base they wanted and beat out the competition, they could tighten the screws, lock things down, since the users didn’t have any place to go, they were locked in.

en.wikipedia.org/…/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis…
In terms of specifics, it’s unclear if they were ever profitable before locking things down, since the main goal at that phase wasn’t making money, it was growing active users and killing competitors. I would have to imagine that with the locked down APIs, they are more profitable, and they never really cared about the community and good will, only when it was beneficial to grow their user base.

- Comment on Which movie do you feel has the most wasted potential? 3 weeks ago:
Parallels (2015)was a pretty good movie, but was originally going to be a TV series. There was a lot of setup that was never paid off because of this, but it’s still a pretty good Sci Fi movie, just ends on a cliff hanger. Wish they made the series.

“I don’t tip. I don’t tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I’ll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it’s for the birds.”
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 4 weeks ago:
I’ve played Pokemon on and off since it’s release in the 90s, but one of the best Pokemon experiences was that two week period in the summer of 2016 when Pokemon Go came out and everyone was playing it. It was the perfect thing at the right time, and something I don’t think can ever be replicated again.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Pokémon 4 weeks ago:
I went searching for Pokemon Red/Blue on the Nintendo Switch Online Gameboy app and all they had was the trading card version of the game. I played it for a few minutes but couldn’t really get into it. Is it nostalgia or was there something Im missing?

Do leap minutes really exist? I’ve never heard of that before? I don’t think we’ve ever had 60 leap seconds since the inception of the idea.

My suggestion is to find a good instance, such as lemmy.blahaj.zone, and go through the list of blocked instances to find one which works for you. Filtering by software and version number should yield an active Lemmy instance.

- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 month ago:
I guess I should clarify that I’ve never used DoorDash or Uber Eats, but for restaurants who have their own delivery people, it’s almost always via someone on an electric bike where I live, so rain or snow is not fun for them.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 month ago:
well that sounds like unemployment insurance with more steps. rather than people buying stuff they don’t need so that it can be delivered to keep someone in a job, and paying the apps the fees, remove the middleman.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 month ago:
Turns out hiring a cab for your pizza is expensive, who would have thought. Personally when ordering out, I always choose pickup, and fortunately can bike to most places to pick it up. If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.
The alternative isn’t an open platform, but maybe prioritizing 10 minute city in urban environments where you don’t need a car to get/deliver everything you need

- Comment on A full list of 2025 Oscar nominations 1 month ago:
I just finished watching Emilia Pérez, and saw it won best picture at the Golden Globes, but have no idea why? Anora, Challengers, and The Substance are objectively better movies yet Emilia Pérez won? It’s great to see there’s finally a trans actress to receive an Oscar nomination, but the performance wasn’t amazing, and I’d say Demi Moore or Mikey Madison had much better material to work with and really showed their talent.
