This Halloween, we should all just agree that Halloween should be the entire month of October, but also start like halfway through September and last til halfway through November. Superween, if you will.

The case on my phone is busted so I took it out, and I feel like the reason they replaced the backs on modern smartphones with glass isn't for scratches, its to make them as slippery as possible. The frosted backing of the Galaxy S22 may as well be teflon. I've had to be very careful not to drop it.

Fix the companies trying to remove as many jobs in as many industries as possible as part of their business strategy. Tax the rich and stop government using groups as a scapegoats. Will it fix everything? No but it’s a start.

I was hyped for a sequel to Tron Legacy, but instead we got a nostalgia-bait movie from a different director starring Jared Leto. I was also interested in a He-Man movie, but instead we get a nostalgia-bait movie with Jared Leto in it. Can they stop hiring Jared Leto already?

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Genuinely a really interesting video. I love how much Freddie cares about the history and artistry behind something as simple as a takeout menu, and all of the people connected to it. This is the reason art is made 🥹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofkd...

Yoglabs is back and Sips is making YouTube videos again. Nature is healing.

Is there an anti-aliasing method that utilizes some kind of "AI" to target sharp edges based on their relative angle to the camera and generate fake multisampling? TAA is blurry and smeary, DLSS is the nuclear option and FXAA barely does anything. This would be one of the few good uses of AI.

As someone who grew up listening to mainly electronic music, in the car or through earbuds on a coby thumb-drive mp3 player, I take headphone recommendation with a grain of salt because I usually don't like open back, or lots of bass. I like the music to sound like it's beamed directly into my brain

The White House family theater. Converted in 1942 from what was originally a cloakroom when the east wing was built in 1902. Over 123 years old, gone now.

Hot take: seeing a movie in Imax is a worse experience most of the time than just seeing it in one of those dolby deluxe laser screenings. The few times I've opted for Imax I didn't like it as much.

To anyone protesting today, please stay safe, bring some snacks and don't be intimidated. Take care of each other 🤍

I get the feeling the mandalorian and grogu movie is an attempt at stitching an unfinished season 4 into a film. A lot of the CGI in the trailer looks unfinished, and the logo looks like it was Photoshopped at the last minute.

Not just killing side-loading, they're also reportedly developing new android updates closed-source. A completely google controlled OS primed for censorship and data harvesting free from the scrutiny of open source devs who can see what they're up to.

Uhm, is Google actively trying to kill Android? Being able to sideload APKs was always one of its strengths compared to the locked-down iOS. Guess I can scuttle all my OSS Android projects now, as there's no way that I'm sending Google a scan of my passport.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

In several years I've still yet to find an alternative to Substance Painter for hand painting 3D models. I tried armor paint and it's awful for hand painting and has a very clunky workflow. All of the alternatives focus on material creation and procedural generation.

What are some shows who's writing does NOT deserve the talent of one or more of their cast? I'll go first, The Blacklist did not deserve James Spader at all.

Had a great birthday yesterday with my friends! Went out for some Japanese food and saw fantastic four which I was pleasantly surprised by. Hope everyone else had a pleasant Tuesday 😁

If New Donkians evolved from Kongs, then why are there still Kongs, huh?
