Isn’t an among us show coming out? By the guy who made infinity train?

I’m not a fan of either

You could say I’m sp-ace

(let’s ignore the existence of lower deck and strange new world for this joke)

I assumed it was AI, but I agree

YouTube premium, as far as I’m aware, still shares some of your monthly membership fee to the creators you watch to offset not seeing ads. I also am a premium member and feel no guilt at all about skipping sponsorship sections because of this.

Doesn’t look like a black rectangular piece of glass to me. I think the point they were making was that there was a design paradigm shift when the iPhone came out.

Control is the game for people with money and power whether it is graceful or not. Some of what Elon has done seems like he wants to control the narrative around his jet. Some of what Elon is doing seems like he just wants to keep testing the waters to see how many people still use twitter after crippling the system. Like some sort of “I slap them in the face and they ask to be hit harder- that’s how much power I have over them. People are obsessed with me”.

I don’t think his goal was to kill twitter. His goal was to remain on everyone’s lips without his jet being mentioned. And if that’s at the cost of organizational tools being destroyed, so be it- in fact, destroying twitter has had more people taking about him than ever.

I was just thinking about pulling out the seam ripper for that ltt badge on the backpack.

Hey guess what. Your experience doesn’t represent everyone’s experience.

I think the annotations are just backing up the claim that the videos are being too rushed- which is definitely true. It’s a video of a guy in front of a green screen, not some off-site video. They could’ve easily reshot the entire thing in an afternoon if they weren’t so rushed. The fact that it wasn’t reshot probably means that the video editors are likely being too tightly managed as well.

Would apple just roll over on this? Or would they fight to make sure safari is also an option to freely use the internet (or at least severely limiting apples ability to do something similar) And websites that depend on ads, the number of Firefox and safari users have to be greater than the number of users who use ad-blockers. So wouldn’t it negatively affect ad income on websites if they implemented it and cut out all non-chromium browsers?

I used pods to move from California to SC because I can work remotely, get paid a CA wage, could afford a house for the first time, while living close to family in SC.

Covid lockdowns in big cities made them feel much smaller and that started to feel a little claustrophobic- living in a tiny apartment, not really leaving that much. At least there’s more room to stretch out in smaller cities, but now that things are seemingly going back to normal (not that I think SC had any shifts in that aspect to begin with), I’d much rather be somewhere that doesn’t feel so hostile.

That being said, after a couple years of being here the vibes here are bad and I intend on moving possibly to Minneapolis as soon as I can.

This is comparing against the metal screen, no? Sure, it doesn’t have the large magnetic element at the back like membrane speakers, but it’s not nothing.

“We wanted to reduce the effect of the membrane as much as possible, since it’s heavy,”

Aren’t speaker membranes the lightest part of a speaker? I’d figure these things would still need amplifiers, would be highly dependent on where you sit (possibly amplifying unpleasant noise if you shift your position even a little bit due to phase), would generate ozone, and they don’t even really sound good when playing music, which means the ANC capabilities of them would be limited in the best case scenario.

I don’t know. Other “whole room ANC” devices have come and gone and none of them seem to work. It’s a great idea in theory, but I don’t know if this tech is any different in nature to just using membrane speakers.

ANC is already used in cars with moderate results, but you generally sit in one spot and there’s already speakers in your car.

It’s such a great show! I wish it wasn’t killed by the HBO/Discovery merge, but each season is kind of self contained, so while the major secrets of the story are still pretty hidden due to it being cancelled, every season stands on its own really well and wraps up main character arcs.

I don’t think you can find it on HBO anymore, but you can certainly find it other places online.

I desperately wanted this movie to be Arcane or Mitchell’s vs The Machines or Infinity Train levels of emotional jabs, but being a kids movie, I think it does a good job.

[ obvious spoiler alert] I do wish it resolved a bit differently. It being a trans allegory, it was kind of tiring seeing nimona be sacrificed in the story to make things better, though I’ll agree the changes don’t seem to go nearly far enough. (people felt bad nimona is dead because they saved the city, but I doubt the citizens changed their minds on what it means to demonize someone different to themselves in general) There’s a shot where people are traveling outside of the wall, but there’s still a wall. The citizens should feel shame over the wall. They should feel shame over the institution that uses violence to harm those who are different. And yet at the end, they’re happy in their little perfect utopian society with a little memorial wall to make themselves feel better with no more diversity inside their city walls.

I’m torn. I don’t want to think this is a bad movie just because of an ending that fell flat for me. I think it is just a bit “safe” for me. Other than the ending, the messaging was great and I loved the comedic timing.

I’m also extremely bitter about how infinity train was treated. I wonder if anything will come of the rumors of a graphic novel or comic book style season just so the story can continue.

Owen Dennis and the studio behind Star Trek Lower Decks. I’m not worried about this show in the slightest. It should be great. I have never played among us, but anything with those minds behind it has to turn out great IMO
