  • Luthen and kleya did a lot of dark, unpopular things and worked with people like saw.

    They were dropped out of political expediency, because that's what you do, they were convenient to scapegoat for anything the rebellion wanted to distance itself from.

  • Omg no it isn't!

    This is literally the point, there is a clear difference between a hegelian dialectic and brute-force manichaeanism.

    Social media has allowed us to perceive the one as the other.

    Now everybody thinks they're the only righteous ones and anyone who deviates from their strict opinion dogma is evil.

  • Rust (2025)

  • I imagine actors on set treat what they're handed like props, similar to kids treat toy guns.

    In that sense, familiarity breeds contempt.

    I think this is more of a wake up call.

    We need to never allow functional firearms on sets, there have been too many mistakes already.

  • Rust (2025)

  • It's 100% the actors fault, if you follow basic firearm safety, that would have never happened.

    The fuck kind of basic firearm safety can you follow on a movie set?

    3 key rules:

    1. Finger off the trigger till not: you're going to need to look like you're shooting
    2. Don't point it at things you don't want dead: the character wants to make things dead
    3. Treat every gun like it's loaded: this was the mistake.

    For 3, the story is (and I think it's not perfect) that actors are supposed to trust the armorer.

    This whole thing seems like the wrong person got a functional firearm, from this Alec Baldwin should never be allowed a gun since he doesn't respect it.

    But it's his job, and he wasn't expected to ever have a functional firearm.

    Gross negligence without any question.

    More importantly, as a producer he should have been wary of the previous complaints on the set, those are his responsibility.

  • Vvc is h266, the spec is ready it's just not in a lot of hardware, or even decent software yet, that often takes a few years. The reference implementation encodes at like 1fps or less, but reference software is usually slow as hell in favor of correctness and code comprehension.

    Av1 isn't much better than hevc (h265), it's just open and patent free and Google is pushing it like crazy.

    It has iirc 1 major feature over hevc, non-square subpictures, beyond that it has some extensions for animation and slideshows basically.

  • It's Memphis.

    This is a city so absolutely obsessed with racist spite, that when Jim Crow ended, rather than live side by side with gasp black people.

    They fucking all got up and moved 10 miles east through wheat fields to establish Germantown, the most racist nightmare of a suburb I've ever seen.

  • if they drag middle east out of swamp of incompetence they could make Israel redundant and take away its free pass.

    Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?

    Saudi Arabia is the MOST incompetent of the whole bunch!

    It just doesn't matter because they literally have more money than God.

    They're so ultra-inbred incompetent that they literally founded, funded and armed a terrorist group that made their first and foremost goal the fall of Saudi Arabia under an Islamic caliphate.

    They learned to stay out of wars decades ago, because they're too mentally damaged to fight them.

    I mean, until they tried to genocide Yemen, and of course got their asses handed to them by unarmed goat-herders who are still infinitely less trash.

  • Yay a new 9front.

    But I'd like to see a Linux compat layer, which should be possible between syscall intercepts and a glibc build.

    Source first, of course, but then maybe binary, sockets are easy to wrap, the rest should be even easier.

    Running a Linux chroot under plan9 like I run lxc containers or BSD Jails now would be awesome.

  • This has nothing to do with that.

    Crypto has only 1 purpose:

    To free the rich from all national obligations and make them truly independent international powers, above all laws and taxes, because their money is an independent entity beyond the reach of 'the people'.

    The only reason you never hear this from .mls is because their talking points all come from structures fully leveraged into crypto.

  • I don't have a problem with the English.

    Nor do I have a problem with most countries.

    Russia are the exception, they have only ever brought misery and brutality.

    Ironically enough, their worst victims were always their Slavic brothers.

    Talk about raicsm, why do they hate their own race so? You don't pull a Holodomor without a lot of deep-seated hatred.

  • Solid, not amazing, honestly the only thing you'll remember is Eddie Redmayne.

    They screwed up the whole plot of the 'protagonist' (not Redmayne) and her acting was terrible.

    Her boss, The High Evolutionary, is good, but the writing isn't great there either.

    Really overpowered actors in a lot of roles (Charles fucking dance), given way too little decent plot.

    The settings are incredible though, nailed a lot of cimenatography.

    Russia warns the United States of the risks of World War Three

    Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.
