It was a weird combination of remake and prequel. It hit all the same story points and barely added anything new apart from Tetris aliens.

1·6 days agoSo, it sounds like it doesn’t offer a remote streaming service like Plex then. You just publicly expose or use a VPN like you can with Plex.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to JellyfinEnglish
1·7 days agoYou can get around this by extending your network with a VPN. I know that’s an extra config, but a lot of people who are setting up home labs are already doing this anyway.
How does jellyfin offer remote streaming without a VPN?

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•"A new report from Nielsen and published by Variety reveals that nobody is watching the most recent trio of core Star Wars films"English
1·11 days agoStar Wars is first and foremost a fantasy series, not proper sci fi. Again, I don’t know the specific thing being referred to here, but this is a film series where people with magic powers fight with swords. Things that look cool take precedence over things that make scientific sense.

Important to recognise they don’t shoot lasers in Star Wars. Their energy bolts have mass.

From a functional design it works. There’s artificial gravity inside the bomb bay and once they fall out of the floor they will continue in space on their inertia.
From a style point of view it works. Space battles in Star Wars was always a love letter to world war 2 dog fights. They are planes in space, not space ships. Always have been.

2·14 days agoIn my country, an O and a 0 count as the same letter/digit on a licence plate. Same with B and 8. I think there’s a few others. There are no two plates that only have the difference of these similar characters, the use of one counts as the other.
I’m finding it hard to explain, but I hope that makes sense.
I think they are saying that the circumference of a wheel can be any arbitrary measurement, you just change the size of the wheel. So how can that be notably different from having a straight ruler the same length as whatever that circumference is?

Like, send bison to kill the cows? Or the cows will go live with the bison? If the answer is bison, in not sure what the question is.
I think an element of being scared is surprise and the unknown.
When something is done well it gets copied and becomes a cliche, then it’s no longer scary. Old movies are where the cliches come from, so revising them no longer packs the surprise and unknown from when they were first released. The movies you watch today might be scary, but in a few decades when they’ve been mimicked a few times they will no longer hold that potency.
So, in a way, yes, older movies tend to no longer be scary. I think some of it is also learning the film making techniques. When we watch the behind the scenes of an actor in a suit, it makes the film lose some of that unknown.
Is it 24 hours for each install? Or 24 hours to enable the ability to install as many as you like?
Edit, I reread your comment. It’s a one time 24 hour wait to enable the ability.
That sucks but at least they allow it, and I guess you could argue this helps fight against scammers? Sort of?
It was so dumb that they tried to justify that comment on the Solo movie.
There was a lot of dumb shit in that Solo movie.
FFXVI doesn’t have a minimap because the director thought it wasn’t immersive to have one. So now I’m opening the map menu every 30 seconds to figure out which part of the slightly flooded swamp can be walked on. So immersive.
That game made it feel like you were punished for trying to explore.

World News@lemmy.world•Quebec passes secularism law banning street prayers and prayer rooms in universitiesEnglish
3·1 month agoYour opinion is a bit of a paradox, isn’t it? If religion was always a private matter you wouldn’t be able to go to any country and tell what religion that country is.
Part of the problem is that a few religions tell their followers that they own specific land, so they are competing to have exclusivity of that land instead of just going somewhere else.
The expansion of civilisations has always encroached on religions as well. You basically have to choose a point in time to say “starting now religions are allowed to exist in the countries they are already in.” Should the aboriginal Australians just go somewhere else if they don’t like the multicultural/multi-religiousness of modern Australia? What about native Americans if they don’t like capitalist Jesus?

If the question is whether cars on the road should be ICE or EV, the answer isn’t more public transport. You’re ignoring the question of power technology to force your opinion on civil design.




I think they spent a lot of money on it in wizard of Oz (the characters outright reference the colour in the film) while TV shows were made cheap.
