And since I saw you talk about film regularly and your kind of interests I figured that someone would have brought it to your attention by now.<br/><br/>But then again, the wiki page says it got a lot of extra attention in the mid-2000s during the War on Terror, which happens to be when I was in art school and worked at a video store. So maybe I&#39;m overestimating how famous it is. 2026-02-19T16:52:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstuswhf5x4ul3vyz879k5k540g9wufkumlv8e34477me899nc3zsszyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpv3p97la In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs04r7hkwdzjvknsugyfperj87s0tcez3rzq49u40eeka9z4x0dc0c2u4pff'>nevent1q…4pff</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;after learning about it&#34;<br/><br/>The fact that such a famous film was not known to someone who is into film as much as you seem to be is making me wonder if its existence is still being (soft) suppressed in France. 2026-02-19T16:42:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9qwl0e2sjx0a3xge2dfmc83utq63g0c7as85v0qrzq3m7xqw636szyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpv8gl7f4 So apparently when the display software of the SJ trains crashes it defaults to showing a trailer for Big Buck Bunny as part of its debugging info.<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/vissocial/media_attachments/files/114/630/992/518/928/327/original/424a7b861f110f02.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/vissocial/media_attachments/files/114/630/992/550/889/068/original/74948908c1fee619.jpg"> <br/> 2025-06-05T13:35:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf6smwv0t32npmdcu3h3ex4897hzkwj5wsp7c96zrmem7t9upvc5qzyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvx3mvsz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgeqava7japn5ul5x0y7e2yhy4nmz4xcgyhvj6ml0r3ruemkha7wskdg3zp'>nevent1q…g3zp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>[reads alt text]<br/><br/>&gt; Grey alien<br/><br/>&#34;wait... what?&#34;<br/><br/>[opens GIMP]<br/><br/>&#34;Ok my glasses actually work as they should, phew&#34;<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/vissocial/media_attachments/files/114/619/441/959/288/376/original/9e50ce29d6d746c5.png"> <br/> 2025-06-03T12:34:17Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfedktzwyvsr4mluctef5rfa4u3lcja7akjcxr67m0ej4u0ke7qkczyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvrwz2s8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrl3xtaueefj3xvcm9ef7fzwpsln03djvuqy520uw6af3j4z574nqmpkfy5'>nevent1q…kfy5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You uh... haven&#39;t started losing hair recently, have you?<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/vissocial/media_attachments/files/113/840/184/586/251/736/original/60fcba4cb2f7f157.jpg"> <br/> 2025-01-16T21:37:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsda5sn0krcwnf6zr94useel3k0e63fpwp3u372kwnwkksetefv77qzyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvaa5hng In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9wxrtuqt6dfcxy26nsegzwa2wajczxg0k8xdq9axdvnrdhldkxwswnrknz'>nevent1q…rknz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;Huh I wonder what&#39;ll come out of that&#34;, I think to myself as I close Tusky and open my email app, only to immediately see &#34;[lang] Stacktran&#34; as the first thing in my inbox.<br/><br/>Instantest gratification 2024-11-11T18:37:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv7j0jvmcls560un885xp05dtgq7zezfxfhsc863dq54swkxl06eczyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvfmrltl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz88gsczhel5hzz7cwewffmv5nde0gv6anc7hsdumhm78cv5uectsvgczjf'>nevent1q…czjf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>spoilers: you pretty quickly end up with something very similar to sok-stories<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEr43hefuuw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEr43hefuuw</a> 2024-10-30T12:09:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9mldvhj86atxg29u0fz68ezhcykswygp2mzu9gksqcg7nvmta2lgzyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvf7crt3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst5j99qfmx7qdaqcdghqs6qj086f75ly2wa37f9lx2yx62xxlxw2q0yw509'>nevent1q…w509</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison.

You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower.

Which has quite a specific meaning.<br/><br/>Keep in mind that this discussion is taking place in a tech-savvy bubble. For most people 99% of the computer is a black box, meaning that using them involves even more blind trust than it does for us. Being categorically paranoid is honestly a very reasonable thing to do when stuck in that situation. 2024-09-12T09:54:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx0r035lwpyztwx4e8ghhzfhgcjv2zxqnszfsqgj69njgqv8kvwjczyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvlypr3e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszqgh2hxzg8wrnsqvhw64j3aret2prepsn9kqwhq9suxztnf7ncagwa00fr'>nevent1q…00fr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>this kind of reads like you&#39;re asking a question when you already have made up your own answer for the people answering. Which feels a bit disingenuous tbh.<br/><br/>It boils down to these algorithms being controlled and designed by people who want things from you that you may not wish yourself. I have no issue with filtering and content organization algorithms if I&#39;m actually in control of them. If you wish to discuss which kind of algorithms would qualify for that, then ask for that. 2024-09-11T12:09:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs808xxmwfcruxn2fc8s9d5eu5q0yuz2cawf2k85guyqze462akwcqzyr87l7zuq2x2sean644awtxv206gf4c5ju303eaplk8g4xkp4jrpvyyxsfz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs95j7pkan08ep3rf5qw2tqj9aj759wd76emjmhmdv2rgdttd9mxkgfnph4h'>nevent1q…ph4h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>when I moved to Sweden for work and I had no address yet, the person at city hall helping me with my paperwork told me &#34;oh no worries, just ask your employers if you can temporarily use their address until you have your own permanent resideoce.
