Of course, ‘sharenting’ is a word.

Yes the feeling of being alone in a whole solar system was / is awesome. And launching into space for the first time.

The original release of No Man’s Sky, and Starfield.

I myself don’t see them as bad games, but acknowledge the false promises, shortcomings, bugs, etc.

This and the difference between decades of experience and experience that’s decades old.

Sometimes a person that’s 30 years in a field or profession just managed to avoid getting fired for 30 years.

No mention of Enpass? Stores more than just passwords, can be synced locally over wifi or in the cloud without using Enpass servers.

Same time plus minus one for me. Not only did nobody have a reason to call me (at school). Literally nobody else had a mobile phone.

I got myself a magnetic wireless charger for the nightstand. It’s great.

Well at least that one came with an explicit warning: Part One.

The latest Jurassic World film comes to my mind.

The script felt like they had a 1993 video game that had to be turned into a movie. There’s not a single authentic character or memorable scene in it. All the actors are terrible, even Sam Neill. The score is as forgettable as the special effects. What else did I forget?

“Candle in the eye!”

Great film, honestly

I like chromatic abberation too. And film grain, vignettes, scan-lines, dirty/wet camera effect, lens flares. The lot.

Not all at the same time and not on max settings. But when having a helmet equipped or using something like a Scanner or spectacles in a game, why not? If it suits the purpose and / or the aesthetic, I’m fine with it.

Personally I draw the line at motion blur, which simply makes me sick.

The one with Sandra Bullock? Concept-wise it was quite realistic. But the hacking itself, man that was some unbelievable stuff. I don’t think they got any fact or term right. Almost as if the OG Clippy helped: “It looks like you want to make a hacker-related movie…”

Facebook / Meta is one of the few data hoarding companies that doesn’t have “full control” of how their products are consumed / used and how much data gets collected in which way. Apple has the Mac, TV, Watch, and iPhone platforms. Google has the Pixels, Android, and Nests, Amazon has Kindles, Fire, Alexa devices, and so on.

Facebook doesn’t have any of these. The best they can do today is being a parasitic add-on to a platform they have no total control over like “the others” do.

Making their own hardware is a key element, not a burden. But they’re still treating it like the latter. If the Metaverse would already have been the New Thing ™, they’d have been the quasi-dominators of that territory because they’re pioneering the hard- and software. But along came AI which doesn’t need it’s own hardware platform, and still nobody wants to live in the Metaverse.

Didn’t ask for them, won’t use them. WhatsApp is not Twitter, is not Insta, is not TikTok, is not [insert social media name].

Guesthouse Paradiso. It’s hilarious!

Many of these tools share practically the same set of features, so I like Enpass’s ability to store files (i.e. certificates) and any kind of key/value pairs even more.

Yeah, I think I’ve lost him (to the Colonies).

Not if you’re exclusively consuming Black Adder and old Top Gear videos online.^^

That’s a point current generation children are actively working on by following English-speaking streamers, communicating in predominantly English Discords, etc. The worst: my kid chose to prefer American English. Where did I go wrong?

SOMEBODY SET US UP THE BOMB
