i assume that “it’s real” thing would have been more impactful if i knew anything about disney parks.

the only documentary i know that has a twist in it.

i mean, it’s equivalent to using a typewriter to edit a printed page. pdf was not designed to be edited.

why is she burning that bald man

expecting word to edit pdfs is like expecting excel to edit compiled matlab programs

point being that the active firefox forks are heavily dependent on upstream, just like the active chrome forks. if firefox dies, the forks die, unless they can scramble the 400ish full-time devs seemingly required to keep gecko current.

sounds like you want this thing but smaller

if the one i saw on fran’s lab was any indication, your keyboard would have to be about 10cm thick.

looks like unreal

it’s definitely not an exact clone, they’re very different. movement, graphics, terrain constraints and the sorts of mods people make differ drastically.

to feel more like an actual book probably

it’s quick, it’s easy and it’s free

i do prefer the theory that it’s just a fifth fundamental force, with no inherent good or evil built in. which is why i like johnson’s nod to the fact that anyone can pick it up by themselves, rather than being trained for years. you’d still probably need training to focus properly but it’s not about “powers”, more about reading the world. less harry potter magic, more discworld magic.

there are certainly moral and immoral uses of a power like that, just like there are moral and immoral uses of… magnetism.

as for the more hard sci-fi stuff… eh. star wars doesn’t hold up to scrutiny like that. it’s a pulp space opera, sword and sorcery in space. a lot of the eu tried reeeeeally hard to lean into the science fiction aspect, but it really doesn’t work imo. i was really enthusiastic about shit like the space ship layout as a kid, still have all the “essential guide” books, but the fact is that nobody thought about that stuff when creating the world like in 90s trek, it’s all just rule of cool. once i realised that my interest sort of waned.

i mean i haven’t signed anything…

lise is very consistent with the “speech-lines” from what i can see, but maybe there just wasn’t room. you’re right.

about your second point: the text outside the speech bubbles symbolises background noise, e.g. friday i’m in love is playing in the room.

we’re in web 3.0 now, apis and data access are a thing of the past. so scraping it is!

i expected like… a generic file or media organiser. but no, it’s literally designed just for porn. til.

it’s gonna start counting as prostitution, which is legal to practice but illegal to buy. of only counts when it’s personalised, apparently. i have no idea how they think they’re gonna do it.

right, that’s what i’m saying. what they did with the blurring of lines in tlj could have gone even further. what if there is no “light side”, it’s all just puritanical bullshit by a bunch of dried-up space monks that unilaterally decide what’s good or evil. they’re basically thought police.
