Bad Bunny lives rent free in Republicans heads. I really don't get it, them making a big deal out of it is only making them look stupider tbqh. And they don't need that, they're already stupid enough. They might jump the stupid shark at this rate.
The two worst actors and actresses in the show too, tbqh. Chacotay couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.
At least Picardo is loudly and proudly anti trump and seems like a good person from what I've heard.
Right?
AI has basically created the perfect alibi machine for liars and frauds. Any bad photographs? Just say it's AI. If there aren't any direct witnesses, it will work every time sadly.
I can only hope the bubble pops soon so that most people can no longer afford to do free AI slop, which will change the discussion pretty radically (since it will increase scrutiny toward AI companies to provide paper trails for any image it generates)
Upscaling can be ok but I honestly hate the way upscaled content looks. Faces end up looking mushy and motion is often awful (since some nerds think the frame rate needs to be interpolated, which makes it look awful.) So I still watch my DVD SD rip which is good enough for me.
I won't poo poo the idea of watching it upscaled if that's what you want, but I'd stress that you should keep good notes on your files (via filename) so that you know what modifications have been made. This is only because metadata of video files are too lacking in this new era where videos are often modified, and it's becoming really difficult to fine the original authentic files for anything these days. Assuming you care about that sort of thing.
Between those two options, I'd go with the original. Know full well that the pacing of the original show is a little all over the place, ranging from way too slow to stupidly fast on a whim. However, the writing is better than the new show (imo), the direction is awesome and ultimately the journey of the story is complete and concise. You'll definitely feel like you want more by the end, which is how you want a show to be.
Stampede is new, but it suffers from some poor pacing decisions and bad writing. It takes the manga and condences the plot points majorly while adding some of their own. It's not terrible, but I'd argue the characters feel a bit like paper standee versions of themselves due to how little development they've given the characters and how quickly they went through critical story beats.
So I'd watch the original and then read the manga. Once you read the manga, you'll know what to expect from the characters and then the writing issues of stampede become a bit less of a problem (though still annoying imo)
I wish Europe would just embrace the fediverse. The techno oligarchs are not your friends and most of them are invested in the US.
"In principle I like being a democracy. But the practice of it? Nah, I'd rather we do secretive bullshit."
Neat, I'll keep this in mind next time the liberals are in power lol.
Electron is the only cross platform gui toolkit...
If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.
I'm so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor--- wait, no, but they contribute code to--- hmmm ... Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?
This guy is so dumb, man.
As if "we'll just kill people" isn't just a declaration of war. 🙄
It's stupid as hell to share any personal information with a company that is interested in spying on you and feeding your data to the nearest advertiser they can find.
Like seriously -- are people using their brains or what?
The term "unalive" is so cringey yet dystopian that I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.
Sort of? But I think it's still a good idea worth exploring -- sort of.
I'm not really sure how posting comments there would work, but if you could essentially "hack" reddit as part of the lemmy-verse, it basically would mean that lemmy would be the better service at that point.
I'm not sure how technically viable it would be though.
