I have rarely been to a theater since the pandemic (Boy & The Heron, Nosferatu) but liked Frankenstein so much I saw it twice.

If you can, Frankenstein is a great to experience on a big screen front and center, as close to the screen as possible without craning your neck!

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.

I'm thinking 1950's term "Artificial Intelligence" was a misnomer, and "Simulated Intelligence" would have been more apt.

e.g. Microsoft Flight Simulator has hyper-realistic controls and can be convincing with VR, but nobody confuses it with remotely flying an airplane or drone: it's a simulation.

hey nyc, so who did y'all end up voting for? I'm nostalgic so I voted for Krauser from Resident Evil 4 (not my favorite character but it was such a classic game and a great remake too!)

let's decide: is this title a zombie rom-com, perhaps simply mistranslated, or just another coming-of-age slice-of-life drama ?

once AI features are added to enough apps, we're going to see more and more cyberbullying as a form of self-preservation in exit-confirmation dialogs

me: it has been literally half my lifetime, maybe I could see NIN again this tour

ticketmaster: for one ticket we demand the monetary value of a playstation 5. or a really good workhorse guitar. also, cut off just a little bit of your left pinky finger (it's for the service fee)

I feel seen:

"...I had adobe 2015, it that was 700 megabytes, and then I was on adobe 2022, and that was 4 gigabytes, and then I got adobe 2025, and that's f!#$king 28 gigs.....

why is it 28 *gigs*? what's in it?

... its not a better program!"

I told a doctor once that programmers get put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan, i.e. a path to getting fired) if they solve problems the way the medical sector / some doctors do. We actually have to correctly diagnose & understand root causes of problems, replicate them, test a fix against it.

So, why isn't the command named `owd` (output working directory) instead of `pwd` and why isn't the var named CWD (Current Working Directory) instead of PWD (especially since vars are ideally being named as nouns and not verbs)?

We download a lot of P2P mp3's these days in 2001, anyone know a tool to RAPIDLY and manually edit tags on on individual mp3 files? (or flac for you l337 455 d00ds!) ideally some kind of ncurses thing or dumb Tk wrapper over metaflac (which is itself too brutalist, everything else too big or slow)

a little known fact about this signage frequently found on sidewalk covers for ethernet cable is that it actually doubles as an industry shorthand jargon labeling the enclosed internet wiring (accurately) as "harmful"

The actual last sentence of this article (there's a person with the last name of "Friday" but mentioned paragraphs earlier):

“It’s kind of fun to do,” Friday said on Friday.
