I mean yeah it was a shit film but it obviously had “business” being made because it was the highest grossing film ever for a while. I think it was the start of Holywood going out their way to crack the Chinese market (or at least the first time they did it successfully).
I’m sure this is common knowledge but Lyon’s worker uprising in the 19th century is the origin of the word ‘sabotage’. The workers were protesting against semi-automated loom weaving machines that used punch cards like primitive computers. When the managers weren’t looking the workers would through their shoes (which were called “sabos”) into the mechanism to break it.
Just got back from a holiday in Lyon. Super interesting place! I got the impression that the quality of life was good for the locals. Met a bunch of friendly Lyonnaise at a music festival and they were extremely generous sharing their party supplies.
Edit: I believe Lyon workers movement were also originators of slogans like “workers of the world unite”
There are at least 2 open source dating apps that I’ve seen, although one of them has 4chan branding. Not sure about the other.
None of the above because I’m no longer a teenage edgelord
Vampire Survivors and the SMT gacha game.
I have a few emulators but the touch screen controls are torture.
My friends and I have “gaming nights” that involve about 45 mins of gaming before we all watch a Ken Russell movie or something similarly offbeat.
I watched on BBC iPlayer because I’m in the UK but someone might have posted them on YT.
Man, what a sad way to live their lives. I love “scaring the bros” music. Was watching Glastonbury festival on tv last weekend and the two best sets I caught were Charli XCX and Doechii.
le wrong generation. more like cRAP music, amirite?

Thank you, Nintendo!
They have people on talkshows every so often who claim to remember being born but they are clearly fantasists since consciousness doesn’t start in earnest until we are ~2.
Personally, it feels like I’ve got a limited amount of memory and the older I get the more years I cram into it. The early memories are starting to get crowded out.
I get your point that reddit nominally has more privacy. I only said “arguably” because I think privacy is an illusion in both cases (which, admittedly, is a bit of an orthogonal take). If there isn’t true privacy anywhere then there is the additional downside of reddit data being actively marketed/presented to 3rd parties.
Arguably, lemmy is going to be more private than reddit because your data are being queried, refined, quantified and categorised by reddit to be sold off to the highest bidder. If a different actor is just scraping activitypub they need to do all of that themselves.
More generally, I’m not sure if we should ever think about something posted online as being private. You can post form data that is secured to your bank or whatever but they are analysing all of that data on their side. Similarly the large email providers are aware of the contents of all your emails.
“Social media” is a really vague term. I think there are broadly 3 categories:
Web2.0 social media: facebook, twitter, discord, reddit
Forums: Old school web fora, (mastodon & lemmy?)
Debateable social media: IRC, email chains/threads
Only the first category is relatively new and has captured the attention of the general public outside of nerds. The other two are either decentralised or are niche centralised sites. IMO it seems like the web 2.0 stuff is most problematic but not sure if it’s the hyper-centralisation or their general popularity that is the issue.
Mixture of people who use the same linux distro as me (gentoo), FOSS devs and people I find using hashtags with my interests in them (RPG & JRPG games, movies, sports, etc.)
Edit: also called steeznson on there, instance is glasgow.social if you want to find me
I don’t have a reddit account and only comment on lemmy. Although I do check the reddit frontpage every so often the actual communities I interact with are here.
Other than that, I have a mastodon account which I’m quite active on and a letterboxd too. Last thing would be linkedin but I don’t post there and maybe login to it once a quarter.
If Donkey Kong doesn’t have a rap in this game I’m going to riot
One, Chewbaca needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Chewie’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking “Where’s Chewie”?
