bro you're saying this as a fun anecdote but i'm not from america and this is terrifying
Sadly it was largely downhill from there. Still watched it all tho because I’m sorkin-pilled
I’ll advocate for the CCC Firefox extension, but email alerts are the big ticket item. If I know there’s something I want to buy, I’ll set myself a price that I think is reasonable and just wait until I receive an email saying it’s hit that range.
Complicit. But complacently so.
It's a reference to Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address:
"I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
I’m not allowed to do my full-time job from any other computer besides the windows one assigned to me.
I bought a 14 pro and gave my nephew my X. Besides the island and the camera quality they are largely indistinguishable for almost all of my use-cases. And they are almost 5 years apart.
if the lens you view novels through is art then this will upset you. If the lens you’re viewing them through is as information that is to be ingested, this will do just fine.
Books are allowed to be verbose and take risks in language, but I’d argue that in transferable information it’s inefficient.
With the single example provided I’d say it did okay. Obviously in context that may change, but I don’t see this as much different from someone reading cliffs notes or something like blinkist.
The article confused me, all 3 sentences. The article makes zero reference to Godzilla/monsterverse outside of the title. So legendary are trying to bulk up the impact of 2 announcements by making it seem like 1 film? Idk
I thought your argument was that the movie industry isn’t immune to enshittification? I was pointing out how you’re correct by using a quote from a film exec that proves your point. Films are a business, and if businesses want to make money then they have to appeal to audiences, so course correction is possible. I’m allowed to live in my duality.
I have faith in some kind of course correction, if it becomes profitable in some way. Otherwise we're watching the death of cinema in real time.
"We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a statement. But to make money, it is often important to make history, to make art, or to make some significant statement. We must always make entertaining movies, and, if we make entertaining movies, at times, we will reliably make history, art, a statement or all three. We cannot expect numerous hits, but if every film has an original and imaginative concept, then we can be confident that something will break through." -Michael Eisner
surely this is straight to d+ because that has to be the worst cinematography i've seen before.
Software and hardware are both wares aka goods or services that are for sale. Merchants deal in wares. Pirates deal in warez.
Was about to comment this. Those products are actually usable versions of apples vr. And they can be used with any device. Apples use case is so narrow that other companies overtook them out of the gate.
Roses in summer, violets in spring, it’s trivially easy this rhyming thing
it's a reference to the youtube rewind where will smith mispronounces marques' name that way
i'm the exact opposite. all my computers are macs so I've been gaming on PS5 for years. picked up an sd oled mostly to play hades, but have finished dead island 2, ghsot of tsushima and hogwarts legacy on it. the barrier to entry to play a game is so low with the steamdecks suspend feature, I can just pick it up and be playing 5 seconds later.
