  • Yeah, but MP was very obviously a “designed for Enshittification” company when they were charging like $20 for unlimited movies in a month and paying out full price for movie tickets that in my area were around $16 … if I used it twice they lost a lot of money. Hell, if I used it 3x in 2 months they still lost money.

    For my family, it was very much a “this isn’t going to last, enjoy it while you can” program…

    It did definitely show that people not going to movies isn’t a shift in people’s enjoyment at theaters and is instead very clearly a cost issue. Price it appropriately and people will be back in the seats. Price it too high and they’ll just wait the 3 months until it comes out on streaming/disc or just completely forget about it altogether

    Just my $.02

    ETA: You’re willing to overlook sticky floors or whatever at a $5 matinee, you’re not going to overlook it paying nearly $20 and the nicer chairs are now an expectation and not just a ‘value add’, so that’s not enough!

    It’s supposed to be a place to showcase art, not a free place to advertise for your store.

    The dude(ette) didn’t even post a link though from what I can see, so, the reaction is insane.

    Print on demand is easy, so, I’d think any artist who’s showing off their work online should have a printer that they’ve run off a few test prints with already ready to go, in case people are interested enough to ask about purchases, but, I’m not trying to moderate a magazine/community and prevent it from being a giant advertisement, so, ::shrug::




  • They went the extra mile. A lot of it was actual exploits too and not just random HTML like I’ve seen in some shows, lol. They purposely would change a few things or not show something though to not be accused of showing people how to actually hack. That plus the way they show social engineering being an integral part of the process made it an incredibly refreshing show to watch.

    I also loved how in a scene Elliot is starting to technobabble and a character is like “yeah, we know what a Raspberry Pi is dipshit” but he got just far enough in the explanation that if the audience didn’t previously know, they still got the jist.


  • Love the “as long as they don’t make it woke” comment in the link, as if the smartest human on the show (Yeah, I said it, Rodney) wasn’t a woman and one of the most iconic characters wasn’t a black man. If this cast launched today they’d call it woke nonsense.

    The article didn’t say if this is a reboot or if it’s set in the same universe as the originals. For myself, I’m very interested in a continuation, but almost completely uninterested in a reboot.



  • Yeah, I had a overall bad experience with everything being buggy and then even devices that weren’t connected to tailscale would start trying to ping the tailnet address instead of the local (wasn’t using their funky bridge subnets feature or whatever it’s called, so I don’t know why it would happen).

    Their magicDNS is cool in theory but caused me nothing but problems. Once I turned off their DNS and set up my own DNS server for it though, it’s gotten to basically be as seamless as they claim it’s supposed to be from the start. I’m no longer having any issues with it at all.
