Pretty good list. I love the movies by Eggers, especially VVitch, and The Lighthouse. Peele does some good stuff. One that I didn’t see anyone mention here is Talk to Me, which I enjoyed quite a lot.

Also, for non-English stuff, I’ve absolutely loved Lapachhapi, Aamis, Tumbbad, Kothanodi, and Bulbbul. Some of them might be hard to find, but totally worth it.

I’ll ban you, but let me just say this before I do it. Fuck you, and I hope you step on a rusty nail.

I’m in academia, so being a little quirky is almost the norm. But whenever I meet new people, and they get to know me, this is exactly their reaction lol.

Look, I’m one of those ADHD folks who are pretty successful in their career despite all the mental issues.

Let me tell you, it still kinda sucks. Every day is a struggle. Even though it always works out in the end for me, the process is the punishment.

Most people don’t. Social media makes it seem like they do, but most people’s lives are at least somewhat messy.

Man, I hate that guy’s comments with a passion.

Yeah, as long as there’s an infinite number of people willing to move, it’ll work.

Distracted Banana

In fish, you can enter part of the command, and then press up to search for it. It’s kinda awesome.

VPN should be enough. Just make sure you bind your torrent client to the VPN interface. If you want to be extra careful, use a seedbox or a debrid service.

The proper term is (extraordinary) rendition, but I think human trafficking works as well.

In my case, I think I matter quite a bit to 6-7 people (family and a few close friends); and matter somewhat to maybe 6-7 more. I don’t think anyone else would really care. And I’ve learnt to make my peace with it. I used to be the people-pleaser type, but I’ve been happier living on my own terms.

I guess it’s saying that Arch people use the AUR and PKGBUILD files. Idk exactly. It might even be a reference to the (somewhat) recent malware incident with the *-patch-bin browser packages. I must admit that I don’t really find it funny. But maybe I too am missing the point here. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Anyway, in case you don’t know, and wish to use Arch at some point, the content on AUR is user submitted, and hence security cannot be guaranteed. People do report malicious packages, and it’s safe in general. But always read the PKGBUILD before installing anything, just in case something silly is going on.

They’re always pro bootlicking.

I’m just waiting for Forgejo federation to be a thing, and some sort of definitive website for discovering projects. Right now, even though I do have my slefhosted forgejo instance, I still need to keep my code on GitHub, or no-one else will ever know about it.

It’s like the people complaining about SJWs and cancel culture. Sure, some people are annoying and use these things to harass others, but the vast majority are just normal people who care about certain things. But people on the other side, when they can’t provide a good argument against them, start to vilify the people themselves. It’s similar to how right wingers cry about decorum when they’re more likely to vote for rapists.

I must admit that I had given into this anti-SJW hate at some point in my late teens, but I luckily realized how I was acting like a little bitch, hating on people I don’t even know just because they’re passionate about equality. The funny thing was, I still believed in their causes, but was pretty much brainwashed into believing that they’re hurting the cause by being vocal. It’s weird how dumb we often are.

Dude, wtf.

Vibe coding is to coding what microwaving is to cooking.
