I've been noticing a lot of movies and TV shows now adopt a video-gamey behind the car view sometimes, mostly due to how cheap and good drone footage has gotten lately

I think the real question is, given how smart they are, and that they know they are smart, and that they know we are smart:

why don't they worship us like Gods and adorn us with crow gifts

Kill it yourself and eat it? Fine by me. Circle of life, yadda yadda.

Send hundreds into an abattoir to be machine killed by robots or strangers and eat it? No. Own up to the process, or don't partake.

I thought the last few school shootings were from legslky owned rifles?

my parents grew up eating meat once a every few months, from animals they raised themselves. No big farm, just a house in a village. Is that not sustainable?

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

isn't it specifically going to rein in the outlier of outliers that school shootings are? I think people would be really happy with that, even if the average crime rate doesn't go down

Well they did eat lots of cheese and dairy. Is that not okay?

I watched a 14 hour silent walkthrough of it. It's a game that I actually don't enjoy playing (I played the first), but I do love the plot so much. Fuck Ted Faro

Kenshi. Just the sheer dynamic ant-farm nature of it made the grind somehow all the more the worth. Even if you cheat and max out all your stats, you can still invent your own narrative in your head for what you think is happening.

Reminds me of a teacher I had in primary school. She was most of the time okay, but she had her moments where she'd pick a student (usually of a minority background) and just make an example of them.

One kid walked to school everyday because her mum worked and didn't have time for her in the morning. Sweet girl, but she was often 10mins late. Teacher made an example of her, criticised her entire home life and implied her mother was a bad one.

I once got in a fight with "Bad" kid (he put me in headlock and I rammed him against a fence to try to get free). The kid was troubled and everyone knew it, but if you left him alone he left you alone. The "Nice" kid from nice background told me that I should tell my teacher what happened. I didn't want Bad kid to get into trouble over me, so I opted to say nothing. Nice kid told his teacher, who then told my teacher, who then made an example by pulling me in front of the class and calling me a coward. At the point I learned that sympathy for your enemy yields no reward to the judgemental.

I loved doing my homework at school. It was so easy to concentrate, all the textbooks were there, and then afterwards you have whole evening to yourself at home to watch whatever you want without any guilt or stress

Girls schools have the same deal with skirt length. They make a fuss over it because they know the kids will rebel over a stupid rule like that, instead of the kids rebelling by doing drugs.

The secret is to spawn multiple AIs to bump the stock, and then for the first AI to cash out early, leaving the other AI instances penniless. Somehow this results in a net positive.

I like to think that if Cormac and Hemingway ever met in a bar, they'd take turns sliding a pistol at one another across the table, for entirely different reasons.

[Movie] Cowboys and Aliens - you know what you're getting as soon as you read the title ( lemmy.zip )

To be fair, I think the first half of this movie is great. There are a lot of long, slow shots which really feel reminiscent of a spaghetti western. But as it goes on, it eventually just turns into a mindless action movie with lots of quick cuts and as much CGI as they can fit on the screen. So yet another entry into the...

tetris11 ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

The first half genuinely felt like it had its own thing going on, and then the aliens arrive and instead of it going off the rails it maintains tone and gravitas. I really enjoyed it.

SELECT 'ipaddress', 'username' FROM tables
WHERE (username.normalize() == "jomiran" 
OR post.links CONTAIN "jomiran") 
FILTER content IN _blacklist_keywords;

Or some such. Data is easy to mine if you have a target. It's finding unknown targets that is hard.

It's easy to disable a VPN remotely though, especially on handheld devices.

All you need to is to point the user to a post or a website that is bloated with JS and contains high rez images and/or video.

The device then has to either begin paging memory like crazy - or more likely - begins to kill background processes that it thinks are not used by the foreground apps (e.g. your VPN).

For newer smartphones this is less of an issue, since their RAM can handle it. For > 5 year old smartphones though? They might struggle.

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

In theory, yes. In practice, I can definitely tell you that the kill-switch service gets killed too, despite whatever level of niceness it's assigned.

I'm not going to dox myself but I can tell you that it's a near daily occurrence for me on Lineage 18 (Android 11) on my phone with 2GB RAM.

Here is a related issue from 10 months ago, for an android TV device:

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

I'm happy it works flawless for you man, and I'm sure on official Lineage builds which are as close as possible to AOSP things work exactly as you say.

I have an unofficial Lineage 18 ROM patched to hell to work with my old phone. All I can do is tell you what I see, and what I see is that when my phone tries to play a 720p or higher video, with an impossibly high bit-rate for the phone, the phone starts to aggressively background-kill apps, and that includes my VPN.

Again, happy it works for you, and I agree that in principle the default route should point to nothing if the VPN dies. On my device, when the virtual network device of the VPN goes down, it drops to the default network and finds another gateway.

tetris11 ,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

Sure, fair. Though I have enough phones I've collected over the years, I'm not sure if I need any more. As long as I take care not to go media heavy sites, my current device meets my needs almost all of the time.

I was somehow thinking of Phantogram and wondering "huh, never knew they did heavy stuff."

Oh yeah. Docker too. Can't spawn a docker container and don't know why? Yeah, you need to make a firewall exception so that the virtual system running on your system can see itself. Yeah.

well that's the sad thing - I don't use nor have I really ever. The most social I ever did was 15 years of reddit.

But I watch friends and colleagues, go out on dates with like-minded people, or find great deals on furniture, and I can't help but think "huh."

My main point is, it's a horrible app/platform, but it has incredible utility by way of reach.

so it was a misunderstanding between "sure thing" meaning "I've already done it" and "sure thing" meaning "I'm on may way to do it"
