It's a movie based on the true story of someone who was good enough at Gran Turismo he got a shot at becoming a race car driver. It's a movie based on a story about the game and not on the game itself.

Why is lemmy.ml still running, though?

The first few episodes were fun and character-driven. Then the show remembered it was an MCU show, so they introduced a half-baked villain so they can have a bad CGI final battle.

Looks looks a fun popcorn movie.

Ah, yes. The code word for "it's gonna suck balls".

As opposed to actual fun popcorn movies like Guardians or Ragnarok that never get called that.

Intergalactic is pretty overused in movie trailers, but that was the shittiest take on the song I've ever heard. It's barely recognizable.

My impression is that a large part of the user base knows about the controversy and likes to complain about it, but leaving is never, ever crossing their minds. The controversy is part of the flavor and texture of Reddit.

If I was/u/spez I'd be delighted by all this. People hate him but they still can't stay away no matter what shit he pulls.

The right move would have been to leave the canvas blank, but no way Redditors can pull this off.

I'd be willing to pay for a few subscriptions if I didn't feel like subscription services are trying to gouge me left and right. I miss the days when subscriptions to Netflix and Spotify gave me access to 90% of content online.

Contrast this with Steam, which gives me centralized convenience, seamless updates, online sync, achievements... No wonder that's where I spend almost all of my entertainment money these days.

It's a way to recall a time when U.S.-China relations were better and U.S. politicians were deemed more reasonable. It's not a terrible PR move.

Last.fm is just a way to track what you listen to, and get recommendations off of it. The recommendations are actually pretty good, which is why I bother with it. You set it up on your Plex server, so it's pretty much fire and forget.

You set scrobbling on the server, so whatever you listen to through Plex will work regardless of the app.

I have to believe he wanted to do something of a "suicide by enemy fire." No way he was up for the kind of detainment and "enhanced interrogation" they're gonna put him through.

High-end human-powered spambots.

Honestly, I'm just back to multiple apps. I work with people from all over, so I have like 7 different apps. Ah well.

I've been using it for a while. I stopped.

My two issues were security concerns because Beeper needs to unencrypt my data from all platforms to re-encrypt it to send it to me, which sounds like a huge single point of failure; and regular connection issues where I had to switch back to the original app.

Great concept, but not quite there yet.

Ebert had other reviewers on his website before he passed. The ones that are still running the site have high standards that, I think, carry on the legacy of Ebert's thoughtful, approachable movie criticism. I'm glad the website is still going in the age of review aggregators and social media hot takes.

He's not warning of AI controlling nuclear weapons. He's speaking of the development of nuclear weapons as a cautionary tale that applies to the current development of AI: that, like the scientists who built the bomb, current AI researchers might one day wake up terrified of what they have created.

Whether current so-called AI is intelligent (I agree with you it isn't by most definitions of the world) doesn't preclude the possibility that the technology might cause irreparable harm. I mean, looking at how Facebook algorithms have zeroed in on outrage as a driving factor of engagement, it's easy to argue that the algorithmic approach to content delivery has already caused serious societal damage.

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

He's not wrong; he's just not on the side he thinks he is.

I don't disagree; I was using g as an example of a variable that appears constant under a specific set of circumstances. Obviously the charge of an electron is much more consistent.
