the m1max/pro soc feature i'm most excited about is four external displays hooked up to an MBP.

i am very curious to see how much the new 16" MBP alu case does or does not suck. just 2-3 more weeks.

what's your favorite weird movie that makes you feel feelings that you don't have words to name?

bonus points if those feelings are the point and the movie subordinates plot resolution or narrative structure to those feels

there's a thing that Villeneuve does that i love: he tells a story with plain bare spaces. the vertical entry tube in arrival. the heptapods' salon. the lawn on which the heptapods' ship is parked. the designer's room in blade runner. the archive library in blade runner. gurney's sparring studio in dune.

this is one of my favorite things done by Kosinski, too (the sky apartment in oblivion, the dude's apartment in tron2).

tools can be both free software and proprietary at the same time: the github CLI is one such example. VS code is another. these work primarily (or only) with closed, proprietary service platforms.

colossus: the forbin project is a much better movie than either wargames or terminator, and yet it is relatively unknown. better treatment of the topic, better ending, better evil computer voice, better everything

through the grapevine i hear about many more people getting sick now than two or three months ago. ICUs are still full, moreso than they were at previous peaks. testing in the usa is expensive and inaccessible, i think the numbers in the media are massively underrepresenting the spread.

"I have faith in Denis Villeneuve and his new version of Dune starring Timothée Chalamet. But it will probably be a normal movie for normal people, in which characters with recognizable emotions talk in a recognizable way and move through a plot we understand to achieve clearly defined goals. Which is all fine and good, but how likely is it to inspire sick beats for '90s kids doing ecstasy?"

spot fucking on

amazon is now recommending fake covid cures in suggested products.

apparently the ivermectin people have moved on to fenbenzadole

i want a way of automatically syncing noscript/ublock origin/cookie autodelete settings between my instances of ungoogled-chromium.

instead of being at the part of human development where i am trying to become 5kg smaller, i would prefer to be at the part of human development where a healthy size for people is no less than a radius of 2 to 3 AU

i named my m1 macbook air tracer because it is small fast and gay

it doesn't help my overall feelings about the future of apple or the macos that the default desktop background in 11.x is sofa king ugly

also you should be able to publish bigoted things as a publisher without your staff going galaxy brain and thinking it is an endorsement. are those who publish mein kampf or host shockley videos subject to employee walkouts too? broadcast is not uncritical endorsement, fools

if what i am told about the chappelle special is true (that it is edgy but not explicitly anti-trans) then i hope netflix fires those that walk out. i haven't seen the special though, so if it is indeed bigoted then fair play, but i have read that this is sjw overreaction to a famous person having edgy-but-unbigoted opinions on $UNTOUCHABLE_TOPIC. i am curious to actually see if chappelle is a dickhead, though, and will pirate the show sometime.

i have developed a fascination with metals for some reason? i have a whole closet full of crushed cans i need to melt, tungsten cubes, spheres, and coins and bars. send help (or palladium)

four new pens type A and B have arrived from cwandt. wait until the tungsten crypto bros find out about these
