I don't know why they can't just say "sorry visa are a bunch of prudes so you can't buy this game with that card". Rather than the entire site completely

Yup, easy way to get me to put away my wallet

I did, it says historically, we don't have that confirmed right now. Yes, it might be happening, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions. There are a few reports, it isn't a scandal. (yet)

This is pretty standard though, I worked in computer repairs and warranties for a long time. No one covers water damage unless you pay extra for it. Water resistant does not mean water proof, and it gets wet it's still like any other electronic

The daily show had such a strong millennial audience and they targeted gen z and alpha so hard. I don't know why they didn't keep the daily shows format as close as possible and just have a new one for them right before or after

Superman is woke because he just helps people and doesn't charge a fee.

Just throwing in my weight here, Bazzite linux worked out of the box on my AMD hardware, and it's tuned for gaming. I have it set up as a HTPC just like you and it works great.

I'm thinking more the value of unreleased songs being stolen and distributed

Someone with such important data that absolutely needs to be secured had drive-level encryption turned on right? Right?

Can't read it due to a paywall

It sounds like what I think I sound like. Completely different from when I'm taped

 

After a small bout this weekend, I want to hear what your horrible food poisoning stories are! Embarrassing? Thrilling? Was it a kitchen ignoring safety protocols or did you trust something that was a little iffy out of the fridge? Let me hear it! I'll post my own below.

How to "Follow" film festivals? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech to c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee
 

General questions, the backstory is I just found out that The Brutalist was at the Savannah Film Festival, and I feel like I really missed out on both seeing it and seeing the panels with the actors. I don't really know how to follow these things though, so as a fairly newby into the film world, what is the best way to follow events?

How do I know that there is a premier near me, or what they're showing? Not saying I want to go to everything, but it'd be nice to know if there are things going on that I would like to attend. Is there a way to do this at a larger/national scale? It's incredibly frustrating, I google something like "Brutalist Film Festivals" and the results are all celebrity rags about past events, how do I find out where they're going to be next?

 

Ironic, just saw the post about ChatGPT launching their own competitor

 

What are your worst interviews you've done? I'm currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite "I don't see anything wrong with your architecture, but I'm not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out"

Let me hear them!

(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I'm just very fed up with tech screens)

Rider is the best C# IDE IMO, works on linux, mac, and of course Windows. Very happy it's now free!

Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Original Broadway Poster:

Movie poster:

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.
