Regardless of freedom of speech, sometimes it’s better to say nothing than to say something fucking stupid.

Nobody’s censoring you dude, criticism of your speech is also free speech

That’s nonsense. Every computer I own boots in under a minute. That was unheard of in the 90s, much less the 80s.

Honestly, I hope they do. It’d be funny to see the sales figures. I don’t care how much anyone likes AI, but nobody wants to read AI novels.

Pot is basically the cheapest drug there is, nobody is lacing it with more expensive drugs.

I’m a Jellyfin Server Guy, and same deal. Around a dozen friends & fam, no charge.

I’m not sure why needing transcoding would keep you off Jellyfin though, Jellyfin transcodes just fine.

Or alternatively, that clever, funny, smart people are not always immune to propaganda and radicalization

When a government musters up the guts to do their job and regulate corporations

This is what Canada’s all about. We’re just 3 corporations in a trench coat, pretending to be a country.

Oh nooooo a show might have female protagonists instead of being a straight adaptation of a movie that already exists

Reanimator is a lot of fun (though I personally prefer From Beyond if we’re gonna talk Stuart Gordon stuff).

Italian horror is my personal favorite, but don’t go in expecting things to make sense. They tend to operate on dream logic.

Anything Cronenberg did in that era… Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, (though my personal faves are his 90s/00s output). Anything Argento did in the 80s (Inferno, Phenomena, Opera), etc. Speaking of Italians, my boy Lucio Fulci made some great ones in that decade too, notably The Beyond, The House By The Cemetery, and The Black Cat. Carpenter’s 80s stuff should go without saying (The Fog, Prince of Darkness, They Live, The Thing). Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street is pretty perfect too.

Maybe I’d vote for Andrej Zulawski’s Possession, which is fucking nuts. Or a personal deep-cut fave like Night of the Comet. Does Blue Velvet count as horror? Does Ken Russell’s Gothic?

I use an N95 mini pc, I have it set up with xubuntu (compositing turned off), and it’s loaded with Kodi (+Jellyfin add-ons), and used with a USB remote control. It’s a super-smooth. I cast music to Kodi from my phone with Symfonium.

I miss the old days, where if a franchise got to 7 or 8 installments, the budget would have shrunk and the ideas would have become insane. In a just world, Jurassic Park 8 would be a straight-to-dvd release that takes place in space or something.

Using lidarr with the arr-extended scripts, soularr and slskd is the way. Add the music to your jellyfin server, stream with symfonium.

Using “well at least it’s not as bad in America” in these contexts is both dismissive of valid criticism and also a staggeringly low bar

Corel Linux in the late 90s, but didn’t actually go full time until Ubuntu in 05,followed by arch for a few years, now on mint.

This is 100% the point. This is why oligarchs threw in with Trump. It’s exactly the same reasoning to defund the IRS, so they don’t have the manpower to go after the big fish.

Is it open source, or is it owned by a private company? Looks exactly like the kind of thing that’ll be great for a few years and then become enshittified, like all for-profit software inevitably seems to.

Places that aren’t home or work. Social places, like bars.
