How can you even make this argument without even referencing a show?

Halo. MC goes to interrogate an enemy prisoner of war and literal enemy of humanity. Ends up sleeping with them.

Game of Thrones. Multiple instances, usually including rape, incest, prostitution.

520,

I think it worked for some early GOT moments too. It showed the monster that Khal Drogo really was, for example

520,

There is no point talking to you because you don’t realise different people find different values in different things.

Sorry, I put this through my translator but all I got out was 'i don't actually have a point to make so I'm just going to pretend I won the argument'. Is this correct?

Some people would rather their TV reflected the reality of human relationships rather than being a sanitised mockery

It's cute that you think the kinds of shows that have sex scenes are anything other than a mockery of human relationships in themselves. Do you not actually pay attention to the plots?

520,

But where do we go to find them?

520,

Okay, but what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging? What additional point are you making that warrants not cutting to the next scene after that point has been established?

Lots of film and show makers don't ask these questions when they make their sex scenes so the result is boring filler.

520,

It is rarely ever portrayed as anything deeper or meaningful in current media.

520,

You're still failing to answer the first question:

what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging?

Because...it's not entertaining either. If I wanted to watch people bang, I'd just go find some porn.

520,

Good tips and I'll write them down

520,

That I would agree... But they're excellent for getting fileless reverse shell on a victim's machine

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

520,

Did you forget your meds today?

520,

People absolutely do care. These lost media include the origins of shows that are still relevant today. But backups weren't exactly treated with much care until relatively recently.

520,

Our mistakes as a culture absolutely need to be preserved in order to prevent history from repeating itself long after the people making said mistakes have passed on.

Not every part of preservation should be a celebration of the past. It is as vitally important that we learn the things we did wrong as well as right.

Just do what WB did and add a slide saying that these were products of their time and that we know better today.

Omnomnomniman where?

The current US prison system is effectively legalised slavery, and is a big reason why US system doesn't do reform and incentives recedivism

520,

More like Bobby Hill with another 15 years left.

520,

Not Steam's fault. They got fucked by the EU for having regional pricing.

520,

This isn't a small increase in price, not for the Turkish. They're already struggling to get by.

520,

Bitcoin is anonymous insofar as you make sure the wallet itself can't be traced back to you. In other words it's all about how you operate it

Favourite FOSS Torrenting Client for Linux that has a VPN killswitch?

I’m a long-time Transmission user but I just learned that VPN killswitches are a thing (how did it take me so long!?). I would like to try another client which has this feature in case I forget to launch my VPN client before opening Transmission. Does anybody have any recommendations? Deluge? QBittorrent? Or any others?...

So, my setup might be of interest to you.

I have an OpenWRT router with an OpenVPN client on it. I use the router's firewall rules to secure the access as needed. If I'm using the VPN, then the VPN is the only way traffic can get out, as I close the direct route via firewall.

This setup persists even after a router reboot.

To do this easily, I made a Python script that can load the OpenVPN files on the router, switch on/off the OpenVPN connection and modify the firewall accordingly.

This affects the entire network, and means I am not reliant on the torrent software or desktop VPN client playing ball.

Happy to share my script if it will be handy to you.

PVR - personal video recorder

520, (edited )

So, the way I did it, I used Librespot as a base and modified the code. It was a good introduction to Rust.

520,

I literally made my own. Pulls down the OGG directly and saves it, then uses Spotify's own APIs to correctly tag the file

520,

Always will be because of the way the two technologies work at a fundamental level.

520,

Ooo good find
