Thanks for this link. Just watched the intro and I’m in… Hope it holds up.

Big fan of Nova, but it’s wonky under Android 14… So I switched to the Lawnchair alpha. Icons can be square, rounded, circle, Squircle… I like it!

Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests - by Adam Bumas (www.garbageday.email)

Last month marked the official end of the Reddit protests. Any subreddit that had changed its rules or gone dark — or forced its users to post exclusively about John Oliver — has now gone back to normal. On the surface, it seems like a complete victory for Reddit, but things aren’t so simple when a major element of that...

I haven’t posted to “my” subreddit since the protest. (Posted over 100 times on Lemmy tho.) I check in occasionally to make sure it hasn’t gone full Lord of the Flies, but…

Why are box office numbers always framed as a competition in the USA? Did I read once that, for example, movies in France report the number of people that attended–not how much money was spent?

I JUST suggested AdGuard to two non-techie normie friends, so y’all better not make me take it back! ;-) That said, I’ve been using it on my Pi-4 at home and on my Android phone for more than a year now.

This is running on my network on a raspberry pi. It’s free. There’s an annual subscription for AdGuard on my phone.

Oh, I would definitely miss this app if it went away. I love it.

Careful about generalizations. I’ve been using computer technology since 1975… 👨‍🦳

I’m old enough to have seen it first-run. I loved it then, and it’s still one of my Top 20 films of all time.

I’ve never had them, but my guess is that they’re essentially a sauce-delivery system?

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE was unwatchable.

The algorithm threw one of those at me recently! Quite fascinating indeed!

Wow. Major fail-and-uninstall for me: There’s a repertory movie theatre across town I visit once a month and always use Google maps for traffic and routing advice. Magic Earth couldn’t find it.

Hadn’t considered that–you’re right! 👍

I’ve discovered that it IS on OSM–but I had to search for the exact string (“aero american cinematheque”).

Love the show–however Season 2 was a bit uneven for me. Loved two episodes, hated two others. Season 1 was much more consistent for this viewer. I’ll certainly tune-in for a 3rd season tho.

(The Christmas episode is one of the two that I hated–but for personal reasons. It was really well-done. I just can’t be around those kinds of family dynamics–IRL or on TV!)

I’m old school–so this is the only Tom Scott I’m familiar with.

Exactly! 🤣

I’m not sorry I watched it. And I eventually came to understand what the filmmaker was going for. I’m grateful to at least be able to have a frame of reference when it comes up.

But calling it the “greatest film of all time”…? 😐
