sbv, to asklemmy in How do I stop a crush from developing further?

I’m 90% sure your instructor is a compulsive nose picker.

sbv, to asklemmy in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

It’s okay from time to time. I’ve been doing it too much recently.

sbv, to asklemmy in What are some interesting thinking skills or strategies you've picked up from programming (or anywhere else, but try to stick to programming for now)

It’s installed on a slight angle, so water pools in the soap holders and around the back of the faucet. If we don’t keep it dry, pools fill with gunge.

sbv, to memes in I never learn my lesson

On Reddit I just read without logging in. It was nice. I’m trying to help build communities on Lemmy, so I’m posting and commenting.

Since doing that, I’ve been told I’m enjoying my hobby wrong, that my friends enjoy their hobby wrong, the links I researched for a comment thread are wrong (without references to correct info), and that I’m probably wrong about how I want to live.

I know I should have thicker skin, but the slow drip of unfriendliness is alienating.

sbv, to asklemmy in Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States?

“Popular” would probably be more accurate.

Populist

populism as an ideology that presents “the people” as a morally good force and contrasts them against “the elite”, who are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving … Populists typically present “the elite” as comprising the political, economic, cultural, and media establishment, depicted as a homogeneous entity and accused of placing their own interests, and often the interests of other groups—such as large corporations, foreign countries, or immigrants—above the interests of “the people”.

That’s counterintuitive, do you have a source for that?

EDIT: googling around, I don’t see any obvious answers.

Are streaming services that different from cable TV? You’re paying for access to new content. If you want specific content to own, don’t they all let you buy them? I know I was able to buy GoT discs when I wasn’t willing to pay for an HBO subscription. Has that changed?

sbv, to asklemmy in What movies would you make if you had an AGI that could make any kind of media on demand?

sbv, to longreads in How Google perfected the web

The article complains that websites twist themselves out of shape to game search ranking with SEO so they can sell ads. Google doesn’t provide transparency on exactly what changes SEO because they don’t want rankings gamed.

I dunno what to say. Ads are shitty for consumers. Websites that exist solely to sell ads risk turning into content farms (e.g. bOingbOing).

sbv, to asklemmy in What movies would you make if you had an AGI that could make any kind of media on demand?

Not episodic. And not “the descendants of”.

If it was a heist movie, then the lead up could be in 1942 Paris - the thieves are anti-Nazi resistance and Allied spies, then, when it comes time for the theft to occur, it would switch to some third millennia setting on a space station. All the characters are the same. The Nazi general who has gathered gold from people sent to concentration camps is now the governor of the heavy helium mining operation (I dunno), played by the same actor, with a different accent, referring to the same events that happened previously. Then it’d switch to some other setting for the escape - but it would be the same characters with the same motivations/foibles/history.

That’d be pretty cool. I like the idea of leaving notes to themselves.
