Phanatik, to comicstrips in "Yor's Body Count" by ASliceofAlan

Yor is one of the main characters from SpyxFamily. She's known for being a highly-skilled assassin and extremely gullible. She has these "friends" who don't really like her for some reason.

Just wanted to add some context for this post.

Phanatik, to linux in PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop

Genuinely one of the best pieces of software that these heroes are giving away.

In fairness, some companies, especially the big ones, won't accept a hard truth until a third party agency tells them directly. This is primarily because the grunts of the workforce often have the most knowledge of the systems but whose opinions are easy to dismiss.

Phanatik, to piracy in I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org

Vimm.net has a huge archive of ROMs and I can see Wii counted among them.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Ancient wisdom often sounds like common sense now that it is commomly taught. What is some ancient wisdom that we no longer teach because it was wrong?

Case in point, Brexit.

Phanatik, to memes in Frank!

He's hooked up to a polygraph machine which tests for truthfulness (with debatable accuracy). When asked if he spent their monthly budget on it, he says "yes" and his friend behind gives a thumbs up to indicate he's telling the truth.

Now, that, is a postage tax.

Phanatik, (edited ) to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

"Artificial Intelligence". The marketing has overtaken reality and common sense. Until the datasets are re-evaluated with information given with consent, I refuse to consider this snake oil anything more than a fad.

Phanatik, to memes in Hallmark channel go brrrrr

At this point, Ubisoft and Bethesda games can be thrown in too.

Phanatik, to memes in Like finding gold during your work day.

Sleep Token.

Not a single song I haven't enjoyed. All I need now are their vinyls and a turntable.

Worship!

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

You've presented quite the leading question but I'll answer for myself.

I was raised Muslim (now I'm atheist) so naturally, I was circumcised. It was done because that's the rite of passage. Am I angry that it was done without my consent? Yes. Could my life have been better with a foreskin? I have no idea. How is my life now? I have many things to complain about, and none are related to my circumcision.

I love that Deadpool has replaced Ryan Reynolds because that's basically who he is in public, all to manage his crippling anxiety.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

I love Sci-Fi. One of my favourite authors is Philip K. Dick and I've written stories about AI.

I cannot grant the concession that the likes of ChatGPT and Midjourney qualify for the moniker of AI. It would require lowering my standard for what I constitute to be intelligence, such as having a basic degree of awareness. ChatGPT for example will contradict itself and hallucinate information (not new information, just irrelevant and incorrect information) and can do so in the same response. This is not intelligence, this is the mere imitation of intelligence and that is not sufficient.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

Honestly, I fucking hate the new Dune. The old Dune at least has charm for how goofy it can get. The characters and editing choices I have huge problems with. It's a very pretty movie and most scenes made it in but the characters just aren't there. Also the world isn't established properly. They don't even mention the Landsraad until the tailend of the movie but they're important to know about because they are why the Emperor takes the strategy he does.

Even by itself, the show makes no sense.
