Hackers is actually good.

Well since the phone is wiped just don't be logged into your real account and don't have any cloud backups to backup from?

In addition to the other ones listed here there's https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv But I can't speak directly on it because setting it up has been on my list of things to do for like a month lol

yeah that's a better word for it

Sounds like a good use for Severance (the process from the show).

This just sounds intentionally naive.

>I think a lot of people here could have netted more money per hour by studying up to pass a FAANG interview instead of buying lottery tickets one at a time.

Bro, saying stuff like this is why everyone hates us.

This is really interesting thanks for looking into it. I kind of just assumed that the author used AI and it mixed some stuff up.

Not surprising since they're gearing up to inject ads into their office suite (free tier anyway)

They probably just used the speech database that the Academy hosts? https://aaspeechesdb.oscars.org/

>In 2010, the Academy sought to combat this verbosity with a new 45-second rule. In response, some winners sped through their acknowledgements, while others used humour or emotion to buy extra time before the music signalled them off. Occasionally, the orchestra was ignored entirely, with speeches like Adrien Brody’s 2003 win for The Pianist running well over the limit.

Brody so clairvoyant that he can ignore limits that don't even exist yet.

That's what it means, and people use it as an example not because it's like, some sort of super difficult unreasonable challenge, but because it's completely unrelated to the work you'd be doing on the job like 99.99% of the time. It's like interviewing for a line cook and asking them to make a spatula.

I was able to!

Another cool thing about open source is that I can do that while still trying to affect change in the core repo :D

There's really no "shut up and go away" that you can give me that will work, because you aren't some grand FOSS arbiter, you're just some rando on the internet like me.

The cool thing about life is that, we don't have to get over it. Instead we can advocate for change. And there's literally nothing you can do about it lol.

It's both a pejorative term for disabled people, and a specific type of bondage fetish.

I mean I could also just tell him it's 2025 and there's 700 ways for him to use plex on his tv, but it's also just kind of funny to me so I keep it going.

Really? I assumed you'd just license an sdk similar to creating a game. They only allow certain apps?

Every once in a while I knock around the idea of migrating off Plex and onto Jellyfin. For a long time it was that sharing libraries with friends was a pain, but now literally the only thing stopping me is that they don't have a ps5 app, and that's how one of my friends uses my plex server lol. If they get one, it's all over for plex (in my friend group).

I thought maybe I'd finally be able to through a Wendigoon video with this, since I'm generally interested in the things he talks about but can't stand some of his linguistic tics. Unfortunately looks like most of his videos are too long for this, which I guess is ironic considering the name.

TL;DP

I had no idea Burj Khalifa was half a mile tall

Just because the quality of the things people upload there isn't up to the arbitrary standards of "as good as the Blair Witch Project" doesn't mean its less valuable

Indie film makers release a lot of their work on youtube.

Web devs specifically seem to be especially prone to inheriting biases from more senior devs that they've worked with, to the point that they spout things like "php is terrible and no one should use it" or "jquery is bloated and useless" without actually having used the technology they're rallying against. Or sometimes they'll maybe have messed around with a poorly written legacy application, or they'll go through a tutorial.

I actually partially blame xkcd for people spontaneously getting these kind of trendy opinions. If I had a nickel for every time a junior dev quoted that 99 problems regex comic to my I'd have like... a few bucks.

Things are outdated when they no longer have use do to their age, they aren't outdated just because there's something shinier.

Maybe we should TRY paying people more. Like just once. Just to see what happens.

I don't use facebook so I currently invite my friends to various events and parties by texting the same image with the info to a bunch of groupchats and a few individuals, if this makes that cleaner I'd be pretty happy.

fun

I mean grading is a scam all its own so them teaming up with other scammers wouldn't surprise me at all.

I watched the video and was about to install just to see there's no windows installer. I'll try building from source at some point but kinda took the wind out of my sails

Yeah that's more what I meant, that he can't continue to make things, especially knowing how he was planning a series with Netflix.
