Steve, to piracy in Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

Why is 2018 and 2021 skipped over?

Steve, to privacy in Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control

The very nature of Lemmy and most social media, is that what you put out there is public. If you don’t want everyone in the world to read something you wrote, then social media may not be your kind of thing.

Of course it’s photos only, and not an arbitrary folder sync, which would be able to do the same and much more. So annoying.

Steve, to movies in Hollywood’s Biggest Stars Offer To Kick In $150M Over Three Years In Dues To Help End Actors Strike Stalemate

"A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution,” the two-time Oscar winner told Deadline. “We’ve offered to remove the cap on dues, which would bring over $50 million to the union annually. Well over $150 million over the next three years. We think it’s fair for us to pay more into the union. We also are suggesting a bottom-up residual structure — meaning the top of the call sheet would be the last to collect residuals, not the first. These negotiations will be ongoing, but we wanted to show that we’re all in this together and find ways to help close the gap on actors getting paid.”

That’s really great actually. It isn’t about helping the studios end the strike sooner. It’s about helping making the union stronger. And ensuring those need residuals more, get them.

I wouldn’t put a timeline to it. Just a list of features, broad and specific. As time goes on, they can be marked as “in progress” or “included”. New things can be added over time, or made more specific. All without timetables. For now call it a wishlist.

Steve, to movies in Box Office: ‘The Marvels’ Gets Grounded With MCU’s Second-Lowest Opening Day Ever

I’m not sure I’ve seen somone so proud of being a snob.

Well done.

Granted, my memory isn’t great. But I think so. Maybe? I’m not sure any more.

I’m pretty sure all user data is public already.
PMs might be the only thing not everyone can see.

That’s because most people don’t know how to make them. When your presenter is basically reading the slides to everyone and making a few comments, they’re doing it wrong.

  1. No text slide should be on the screen for more than 4 seconds. (2-3 is better) And it must be fully readable in that time.
  2. Charts, graphs, and images can be up for as long as needed, but the only text should label specific parts.
  3. Don’t use fancy transitions or pretty backgrounds for anything.
  4. Breaking the above rules is okay once or twice, if you have a very specific reason for that specific slide.
Steve, to movies in Directors are turning to streaming to fulfil their epic visions – and avoid ‘bum ache’

It’s standard in plays to have an intermission. Almost no matter how long it actually runs. Even a 90min movie could have a 5min intermission.

Steve, (edited ) to movies in David Ayer On The ‘Ayer Cut’ Of ‘Suicide Squad’: “It’s Coming” and “Something’s Going To Be Revealed”

Basically yes. He is going to remove much of the humor and replace it with more real character moments.

As the story is know so far. The company that made the popular trailer was hired to completely re-edit the entire movie, without Ayer’s involvement at all. The studio wanted something more like Guardians of The Galaxy. Which was not what Ayer made. So they just replaced him in the editing room, and made the mess we all know.

Steve, to risa in I'm sorry, but it is true

Stovetop is a brand of prepackaged stuffing/dressing

Wouldn’t he say “The question we were looking for”?

Been a long time since I watched Jeopardy.

I would push back on 7 and 8, and say footnotes shouldn’t be part of your slides at all. Those are for documentation and reference materials you hand out, not the slides during the presentation. Avoid any incentive to look at something other than the screen.

I would double down on 9. Presentation flow is absolutely number one. Looks don’t matter much at all. I only use simple black text on white backgrounds, inverting it for impact. Nothing fancier.

I just assumed 5 and 6. If you ever have to go back to a previous slide, I just thought you made a mistake and forgot something. Planing to do that is just kind of insane. And yeah, people with poor eyesight should be able to read it from standing against the back wall.

Steve, (edited ) to privacy in Blocking app access to the internet

The apps you want to block entirely, you can go into Android settings for each of them individually, and turn off all their Mobile Data & WiFi access options.

Apps that you want to allow outside Proton VPN, you can add to the Split Tunneling list in Proton VPN. But you have to turn off the Block Without VPN option.

It sounds like that’ll get you what you want.
