Accept that I’ll probably say something you don’t like and I’ll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.
Ah… Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don’t answer that, I sort of know the answer already…

That’s marriage material right there.
“No longer work” is an odd thing.
When you’re talking about open source, something is “supported” as long as someone wants to work on it. I’m pretty sure to an extent there’s still “support” for the original wrt54g.
considering they make damn near everything else, I don’t see why I’d have reason to be that concerned.

The idea of watching something like pain on a hot summer day is totally counter to the way my brain works.
Give me something like “reincarnated as a hairstylist with god-tier cheat skills” that’s just people messing with the MC and regretting it for 72 episodes.

It’s going to be rougher even earlier than that. In a “mere” 250 million years we’ll get another supercontinent, which sounds amazing but it’s the sort of geological situation that lead to the destruction of most terrestrial life because all the land becomes a giant desert.
I got on a geology kick one day, I came out wiser and much sadder.
Honestly, as a teenager who doesn’t own the building and doesn’t pay the electric bill, don’t worry about building infrastructure for yourself and the people around you. Taking on that kind of responsibility is actually going to be kind of annoying because once people rely on it, you can’t play anymore – so just use it yourself, and enjoy it, and maybe you get a chance to show it off, but maybe not. Infrastructure you own but don’t have to answer to anyone for is important for that purpose. After all, maybe you don’t want jellyfin in the end, and you can just kill it.
My family uses our jellyfin all the time, because it’s set up exactly how we want. It has all my wife’s favorite DVDs ripped and on it, it has my son’s favorite movies, it even has strange stuff like the video of me driving in a demolition derby or baby photos or comic books – it’s my thing, I can put whatever I want on there and that’s what makes it great. We have a great workflow – we have android TV, and the jellyfin for android TV app, so we just open it up and everything is right there. It’s well-done enough that if you didn’t know it’s something I host in my basement in the rafters right above the washer and dryer you’d never know it isn’t just a normal streaming service.
Some people won’t see the benefit of having this thing you control and own and are responsible for. But did you know that you can’t buy the original Star Wars anymore, only the modified editions from later on? Did you know that there are movies you can’t watch anywhere because the licensing is in limbo? Did you know there’s public domain movies that are important to cinema history that you won’t find on movie streaming sites? So it’s not so cut and dry.
Keep playing. When you find really cool things that nobody else knows about or sees the value in, it’s like a secret door in your house nobody else believes is there, you can sneak in and go on this adventure.
It’s kind of amazing how much stuff is out there, isn’t it?

The Thief and the Cobbler is one, it was massively expensive and destroyed the studio, but it was the animator’s magnum opus he worked on for 30 years.
Showgirls was one of the movies Paul Verhoven pushed for as a personal project, and it literally destroyed the careers of some of the people who were part of the project (and gave many of us a chance to see tits on basic cable at 15, so your sacrifice will not be forgotten)
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was a first of its kind, a photorealistic movie, but the cost and the fact that the movie just wasn’t very good basically destroyed the studio after one picture.
Disney’s Treasure Planet was intended to be the magnum opus of its creators, but ended up being a nail in the coffin of disney animated movies.
Cameron’s Avatar is an example in the other direction, where it was this weird movie about blue aliens he really wanted to make that ended up making all of the money. His movie Titanic is another weird one, where you have a 3 and a half hour historical romance that became the top movie on earth.
Christopher Nolan’s Inception was also mind bendingly popular, and one of the films he used his clout to create.
I also heard about a movie from 1980 called Heaven’s Gate which destroyed the director, the studio, and essentially ended the era of director-led movies because studios were too gun-shy after that bomb to let that happen again.
So as you can see, these sort of risky auteur films can either be the biggest flops or the biggest home runs, it really depends on the film and the world around it in that moment.

I think for someone like that, it isn’t about the money, it’s about making your artistic vision happen, using the clout you built elsewhere to push through a project that was never financially viable but it’s your dream as a filmmaker.
Sometimes those stories end up becoming some of the biggest movies of all time, but often they just end up being a big waste of money except for the guy who gots to make his dream movie.
I’m making a distinction between the rank and file and the media, I don’t really believe most rank and file are really like whatever the media or the like claim… I mean if they really did flip 180 like that then it makes them incredibly disingenuous people…
I strongly suspect that most Democrats don’t actually want to fund a bunch of forever wars either. I mean, that’s what Obama was elected for, he just turned out to do the opposite of everything he was elected to do. “Help the poor, end the wars, shut down gitmo? I agree but let’s tweak it to help the 0.1%, keep the wars going forever, keep gitmo going!”

When people say getting onto mastodon is hard I assume they must mean setting up an instance because even if soapbox and rebased are easier to use, it’s still just signing up for a website.

I feel like our focus on the 20th century really limits our understanding of the depths of human depravity.
This is an image of two Assyrian soldiers forcing a captured Babylonian to grind the bones of his family.
And you might say “Wow, that’s a really mean thing to say about the Assyrians!” No, this is them bragging about doing it in immortal stone form.
This wasn’t printed out on a laser printer, it wasn’t etched using a laser engraver. It probably took weeks or months to lovingly create this work. They were really proud of their depravity and wanted to share it with the world.
There’s only a tiny fraction of a stone in here, but it can be used to draw for dozens of li
