My opinions on these, take or leave them

Send Help looks interesting, but I'm biased because I absolutely adore Rachel McAdams in everything she's done. (Okay fine True Detective season 2 was......)

Project Hail Mary I'm so pissed at their marketing team for ruining the big spoiler after reading the book. Those fucking morons said "We don't think it'll effect people who haven't read it." I was talking with my wife who also read it, for those who haven't read the book, the spoiler is so bad that it's like revealing that Gandalf comes back in Two Towers. It completely ruins the entire tone of the first half of the story. I... I just can't even comprehend how stupid of a decision it was to just spoil the entire goddamn story in a 3 minute trailer. Seriously why go see it even?! You know the entire story already! There's literally no point! Guh I'm pissed about that. Get 3 marketers in a room and they'll be able to ruin anything they touch.

Devil wears Prada 2 may be good, but I'm also disappointed in Anne Hathaway getting that new Instagram-style plastic surgery. IMO it just ruined what made her charming and unique, and it sours me on seeing the sequel.

Coyote vs. Acme: I'll watch, but I'm not sure how I want to support WB after they screwed with it so much.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping: Seems like something great to watch on a plane.

Dune: Part Three: The only item on the list I'm legit a bit hyped for, and it's because we have 2 solid installments that proved the quality.

God awful clickbait headline. Downvotes OP too, it takes just a few seconds to change the title

Exactly my use case, I'm on a couple communities that I'm sure there are people out there don't like, but for the few of us who do really like the community we enjoy it. Those who don't enjoy it are welcome to block us or not subscribe to us, but they insist instead on downvoting every single post because they personally don't like it, ruining the experience for the actual people who do care about the community. You're also right that it's a small community, we're not talking about Ask Lemmy, we're talking about a small community with less than 100 people. Where a post may get a few up votes

That's not at all what I'm talking about. Random downvotes are a constant, those don't matter to me. However if you really hit 80% downvotes in my community alone, then to me I'm doing you a favor. You should have just blocked my community, so I'll do it for you. It is honestly difficult to get that high or a downvote rate.

Apple showing their gatekeeping attitude people claim to love

Personally I factor this in with bans on my communities. I very rarely ban, but I do if I notice people like this, who I dub "downvote trolls". They don't participate (or when they do it's negatively), the just downvote constantly.

Now I'm fine with downvotes, I downvote, I think it's healthy to say "I don't like this content". However if all you do is downvote (especially in a specific community) then I view a ban as a win win. We don't have to deal with your negativity and obviously you don't enjoy being here anyway from your voting patterns, so everyone wins.

For my communities I have a pretty healthy ratio. If you downvote 80% of the content, you're on my radar. I won't ban you on that data alone, but seriously 4 out of 5 votes on the community are on average down then why are you there?

Plus it is not hard to get "published" on Amazon. Literally anyone can.

Even those are being locked down behind DRM now

Yes, dark chocolate with orange is a go-to for me

I was just thinking how it's becoming cumbersome to manage all of these pipelines and different dependencies, models, etc.

My mother keeps spending 11 hours a day in Facebook and then sending me random shit from it.

Everyone always tries to pinpoint when Facebook got terrible. I was there for it. I remember it. While it happened over time the instant it was uncool and lame was when the first parent signed up.

The moment it was over for me was when my mother sent me a friend request.

I thought we all decided by the transitive property that we could complain about both and it would somehow both mean fuck reddit
