Andrew Milne's Letterboxd review of Avatar: Fire & Ash is very good; definitely the review I've read that comes closest to my opinion of the film:

The third Avatar film has only just come out, and judging by Reddit and Letterboxd, I think it's already becoming clear what's going to become the Internet's consensus shorthand summary of it.

Chrome on Android no longer displays an image's full alt text when you long press an image - it gets truncated.
Looks like this bug was first reported in 2019, but that bug report thread has received new replies in the last week:

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Remember how biased and leading the questions were in favour of the AI companies? And this was still the response.
🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright:
- 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is)

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

Ever since the Sad Puppies, right up to this week's FIFA travesty, it's been astonishing to me how much the far right is motivated by wanting awards, but not wanting to do the things you have to do to get them.
The funniest part is that it became clear that Ben Shapiro REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted to get nominated and spent a bunch of money on it only to not even get a nomination. www.status.news/p/ben-shapir...
