Not just that, they assume you have an IMAX Dolby system installed in your theater sized living room, that everyone obviously has. Bad mixes are inexcusable and sound mixing snobbism is a symptom of the pompous pretentiousness that is the rotten core of Hollywood. Yes, Hollywood, most foreign films with DTS have perfectly good and serviceable mixes that sound nice in both Stereo and Surround…

dustyData,

Hmm, no, that one is on snob directors and pretentious sound engineers.

dustyData,

I’ve read his sound mix is shit on top of the line IMAX too. Plenty of complaints since the days of The Dark Knight, He is just high on his own supply and can’t admit that he is shit at sound mixing dialogue. That or some contractor lied to him when they built whatever he mixes on.

dustyData,

You should pick up dancing…

dustyData,

Shoes that don’t restrict the feet movements. Basically gloves for feet. Only protect superficially to allegedly allow the foot full range of motion and train and stimulate the use of all the muscles when walking and running. They reached peak popularity back in 2010. Recently some studies had questioned this claims as they seem to increase the rate of injuries, for of course, they provide no ankle support or torsion protection.

dustyData,

If you start from false premises, it’s only logical you’ll end with the confused incomprehensible racist rant that is this post.

dustyData,

Because there are, categorically, no biological evidence or basis to races in human genetics. Your premise is false and your post is racist bait. The scientific method does not support your racism.

dustyData,

Learn how to draw poorly, stage photos of what you want to showcase in the picture, then trace over it. It’d be 100% more genuine and unique. This can be learned in a week at most.

dustyData,

Chewing boot leather would be more enjoyable.

dustyData,

I read the third part is planned to be the first beats of Messiah. Essentially the complete arc of the life of Paul Atreides.

dustyData,

The only certainty I read is that Villeneuve doesn’t want to do children of Dune or beyond. But producers want mini series out of those and a Bene Gesserit prequel series that’s already on the works.

dustyData,

It’s important to keep the record straight.

dustyData,

I can never get over the fact that in Australia it’s pronounced Aka daka.

Is it possible to flash a new OS onto an old iPad 2?

I bought an old iPad2 for the purpose of viewing a Home Assistant dashboard via a web browser. My thinking was that the ability to browse the web was the sole requirement for a tablet for this purpose, but I was wrong: Home Assistant’s web pages apparently require a newer version of javascript than iOS 9.3.5 can handle, but...

dustyData,

On iOS it’s mandatory that other browsers be just a reskin of safari. So this wouldn’t help op.

dustyData,

No, W11 theme is invasive advertisement in every menu.

Do Israeli Politicians' adult children get conscripted just like the average adult Israeli citizen as part of mandatory service?

I was just reading about how a current Israeli war minister’s son died in combat and it made me wonder that if Israeli’s politicians who make these decisions know their family will be affected by it personally and directly, does that lend towards the suggestion that it is more likely they are making genuinely ethically and...

dustyData,

The assumption that direct familial involvement would make people more peaceful or make them take more ethical decisions is flat out incorrect. If anything it will make them more ruthless and dehumanizing against the “other” and seek even faster ways of total annihilation rather than difficult nuanced and diplomatic peaceful solutions. The military mindset is a very rigid one, with only rights and wrongs, blind obedience, the only nuance allowed is tactical nuance, the only complexity allowed is logistic complexity. Morally and ethically it’s always down to I’d rather the other die than me. The IDF once traded 1000 prisoners for 1 IDF soldier, what makes you think they will not kill 10000 children if it means it saves 1 soldier?

We have seen 20 minutes of 'Dune II' with Villeneuve and we have good news: the expectation is more than justified (www.ruetir.com)

Last November we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive twenty-minute screening of ‘Dune: Part II’, the highly anticipated second installment of the monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic that Denis Villeneuve is carrying out. Of course, it is early to give an opinion, but we can assure that...

dustyData,

My friend, it lasts two and a half hours and barely covers the first third of the first book. If it were any slower it would just be hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.

dustyData,

Maybe get a shelf and put just your very favorites en it. Those you just can’t help but return to. Rotate them once in a while if that choice is too hard. Books are pretty, there’s a reason rich people buy false books by the meter just for decoration.

dustyData,

Uhh, yes? I think that is kind of the point. To acknowledge they do have a different sleep requirements than adults and elders.

dustyData,

The idea is that teenagers find it really hard to go to bed early. But school still starts very early. So they end up sleeping less than they should to function. The anti biology stance of “they should go to bed earlier” is not helpful. What’s helpful is starting school later, let them have their vigil time into later hours, then they can sleep and recover fully, and do better at school. Thus potentially creating better educated adults.

dustyData,

I commend your commitment to not only not tracing the original capture. But posting a heavily compressed bad quality screenshot, that was badly cropped anyways.

And some people say shitposting isn’t art.

dustyData,

Just as a general PSA for anyone reading this. This is known as passive suicidal ideation. It’s a massive red flag that something is not right and you should reach out to a mental health practitioner or at least have a heartfelt talk with someone close you trust about your struggles. Reach out to any support network you have, because it’s the start of the slippery slope to suicidal thoughts if left unattended.

dustyData,

That’s the proper Latin name, natural and common in Spanish as well.

dustyData,

That was a cool video. But if it takes over 5000 hours of time on. I doubt that as a regular user you’re going to see any significant or noticeable degradation but after several years. 5000 is just 208 days, but it has to be continuous and severe. More realistically, with off time and varied usage, the effect will never be as dramatic as with testing. So, it doesn’t sound like something critical. CRTs were worse and people coped just fine. Just use your monitor.

dustyData,

Not only does he only have one eye, he has no nose. That’s a face-swap with Sully.

dustyData,

The guy who invented the ancient alien theory that, believe it or not, didn’t exist until he wrote a book in the 80’s; is one of the producers of the History channel show. And he is my personal reminder that any idiot can get a book published.

It’s a trend, for some reason. I really, really hope she used natural biodegradable and hypoallergenic water based dyes, they do exists. But the bathtub tells me this poor soul didn’t have that luxury.

The sane people use those that are more like a water spray and just tint the fur some fun color for a while. Then naturally wears off or washes up in the next bath.

dustyData,

Those are typically for lamps. Check your house wiring as sometimes they use higher gauge (thinner) wire than usual, that can’t handle big appliances or electronics.

A Ouija board, a crucifix and a priest trained on exorcism?

Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

Proton Mail, the leading privacy-focused email service, is making its first foray into blockchain technology with Key Transparency, which will allow users to verify email addresses. From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

dustyData,

Look, another solution without problem.

dustyData,

Famously, and in formal completion of Cunningham’s law disapproval. Cunningham has never said that, and actually disagrees with the aphorism, he’s been quoted qualifying it as a misquote and a proof of misinformation spread on the internet in complete self-defeating disprove.

dustyData,

Oh don’t worry, The Culture is anything but near-future. Some concepts are so out there that they border surreal existentialist philosophy.

dustyData,

Marvel fatigue, superhero saturation and the death of cinema.

dustyData,

Best of lemmy is a community that exists now. Or are you farming for best of lemmy?

This is one of the main cores behind the anti car and fifteen minutes city concepts. I’m currently facing the choice. Should I buy a car? Because, though I currently move and live without, using a car for commute would be a net personal gain. Biking is not an option, there is no infrastructure nor protections for moving on a bicycle in my city. I have to commute 50km each way, my job is not possible to be done from home, moving closer to work is financially prohibitive. Any new job would be near the same exact geographic area. A car would reclaim almost 3 hours of my day and multiply my options for leisure 10 fold for relatively cheaper. I hate to have to face that dilemma.

dustyData,

Making life easier for those who can’t or doesn’t want to drive detracts nothing from those who can. In fact it is beneficial for those who want to drive to have denser cities, and better public transport. It means safer streets, less traffic and lower insurance premiums. Yours is a false dichotomy.

dustyData,

You’re not arguing with the original poster. Someone definitely lacks reading comprehension skills and is irrationally fixated on proving themselves right at all times, but it ain’t me. You created a straw men and presented it at “either this or that”, false dichotomy. Again, supporting those who don’t want or can’t drive doesn’t infringe upon the rights of car owners and those who do want to drive. This is not an oppressor-oprressed dynamic. That’s classic victimization. We can help and accommodate to the needs of minorities without having to disregard the needs of the majority. At least learn your moral arguments right.

dustyData,

Unrelated, this meme always reminds me of the story of that one drug addict who stole a friend’s phone to sell it to buy drugs. And when the friend in distress tells them they lost their phone, they help him look for it. It’s hilarious and sad at the same time.

dustyData,

The clever part is that most phones do have a microphone at the top nearby the earpiece. The stupid part is that that mic is for noise canceling the ambient noise. So the phone is hearing them, but the person at the other end of the line is getting a distorted and full of artifacts voice that is barely comprehensible.

dustyData,

You’ve heard that people that sound uncomfortably loud, garbled and distorted, barely comprehensible, with intermittent popping and hisses over the phone? That’s you.

dustyData,

Well, most of the time, faulty leadership and bad hierarchies fail to construct coherent strategies. But, strategy is supposed to be the guiding lead to a whole organization’s activities. A good quality strategy implementation has clear goals in mind and can be used to elaborate clear and concise mission statements for all the functional parts of the organization. A “focus on resilience” can be translated into many things at an operational level, but it’s way too vague at an strategic level. Why do they want to be more resilient? is the appropriate counter questioning here. Better serve customers, how? Why key player?

It’s different from “focus on production resilience to respond to customers regardless of adverse market circumstances”. That is more actionable. It’s part of the strategic responsibilities of middle management to translate that into tactical operational actions and communicating them to individual staff. For example, product design can create redundant packaging alternatives that use different levels of different materials, so shipping can respond to material shortages without incurring too much delay. Logistics can call for cache storage of production critical materials. Then factory can come up with the production plans for each packaging alternative and a contingency plan in case of shortages. Then acquisitions can scout ahead of time the different vendors for materials that would be required. Finance has to come up with a plan to finance the new storage caches. Marketing and sales can come up with reward plans to compensate customers on delays, and advertisement messages that spin negative circumstances into positives, etc. This is just one possible line of actions, out of infinite possibilities depending on industry, product and structure.

That’s a well formed strategy. Now, just giving a hollow presentation to an all hands meetings is not the most efficient way of communicating but yet again, a lot of incompetents make it into management without having a damn clue of what is their job.

dustyData,

You reminded me of those YouTube vigilantes that troll Indian scammers. One installed the remote desktop app they use and let them access a honeypot linux machine just to mock their incompetence and confusion. Then proceeded to take control of their machine steal their data and wipe out their computers. Their reactions are hilarious. It’s sad that a lot of very smart people are dragged into it by thugs that leverage debt and physical threats to force them into the scam call centers.

dustyData,

You can smell other people’s mucous (not recommended). If you ever have been the primary care taker for a baby or small child you’d know what boogers smell like. Old boogers also start to decompose and the smell is faintly different. Sick mucous also smells different and worse. I could tell my nephews were sick with the flu by smelling them from ways away before noticing any other symptom. Sometimes I can smell that in public transport and it makes me figuratively run in the opposite direction of the sick person.

dustyData,

We’ve been through this before. FFS, the US has a whole event whose entire point for like 99% of the audience is to see which ads will be shown during the half time break. Cable still has 24h advertisement channels.

dustyData,

I like the concept of them. But something deep in me tell me they would be underwhelming and leave a taste of regret afterwards.

dustyData,

Oh, I was talking about eating those massive carb towers with sugar from the link.

I suppose it depends on the kind of porn you’re into. Some things are more socially acceptable than others and levels of shame varies. Even among secular society certain things carry a burden of shame, even if they are just kinky stuff done in private by two consenting adults.

dustyData,

For some people the shame is part of getting off. Without shame there’s no kink. Sex is complex.

dustyData,

Market saturation and genre fatigue are real phenomenons that all movie producers think they are immune to. Barbieheimmer month showed that people are tired of superheros, cinematic universes and Marvel filler. Audiences crave variety, curiosity and surprise.
