This might be controversial, but the new Denis Villeneuve movies are much better than the book. Maybe watch the movies and read the book or trawl the wiki after for more context.

Well, you know the old adage: “Good artists copy, great artists steal”
Eh, I’m gonna buy it the moment it comes out in the US because the movie is fucking fantastic, but you do you.
From the article:
there’s still no easy (or legal) way to watch it with English subtitles, and there’s been no updates on when it’ll come to streaming or physical in the US or elsewhere
Interestingly, Tom Scott did a video about this a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGnH0KAXhCw
Modern roads having subscription services aren’t even new: we pay for our roads with gas tax, registration fees, parking fees, and congestion pricing… And it’s still not enough, so we take from income and property tax to make up the difference.
You get a silver star for trying. This article is just too much for AI to re-write.
Ehhhhh, I don’t know if I agree with this.
American “culture” has had a whole bunch of definitions, usually changing with the decades. For most of the 20th century, you could point to something and say “That’s American”; things like milkshake bars and greasers, anything surrounding the hippie movement (that we actually probably stole from somewhere else), and… Whatever that strange design of random shapes the 90s had.
After 2000, there hasn’t been really anything that stands out, in part due to the rise of the internet, and in another, the dangerous build environment. In order to have culture, people need to congregate in a place and create something meaningful. Because Americans go to work and then go home, often with little-to-no time in between from long commutes, they have no time to create the next “culture moment”.
If Google has an answer, how long will they support it? I bought a Daydream visor and controller, only for them to totally discontinue the project within 2 years.
This is it. This is the comment that makes me realize that I’m old.
With my current bank, my return would have gotten me nearly $100 in interest over the last year.
“Technically correct” is the best form of correct. Though having tried setting up Wireguard in the past, having a dead-simple solution like Tailscale might be worth trying it out, especially with the 100 device free tier
IoS - internet of shit
With the enshittification of streaming platforms, a Kodi or Jellyfin server would be a great starting point. In my case, I have both, and the Kodi machine gets the files from the Jellyfin machine through NFS.
Or Home Assistant to help keep IOT devices that tend to be more IoS. Or a Nextcloud server to try to degoogle at least a little bit.
Maybe a personal Friendica instance for your LAN so your family can get their Facebook addiction without giving their data to Meta?
I haven’t used Tailscale myself, but it seems like it’s basically just a Wireguard frontend.
It’s kinda true, but less exciting than the person made it sound.
gargoyle (n.)
“grotesque carved waterspout,” connected to the gutter of a building to throw down water clear of the wall … from Old French gargole
gargle (v.)
1520s, from French gargouiller “to gurgle, bubble” (14c.), from Old French gargole “throat, waterspout”
This makes sense to me, actually. Letters are usually taught with false sounds, and N and K could phonetically be taught as “nuh” and “kuh” by a teacher.
If you take out the star, there are only two lines; one connected by the upper two circles, and one connecting the “dog nose” on the right to the lower bouncing circle.
Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.
