I think the animated gif button at least makes sense since those are from a service and don't need to go through validation.
As for images the main difference I see is that with image posts the images show up at the bottom of any text that's there. With the image button the images show up at the top which could be useful. If you feel that validation point rules it out though I get that. The animated gif button though I don't see a reason to leave that out.
These two blokes came out with an EP way back. No vocals just a couple sick technical death metal instrumentals. I just remembered them today and looked them up, and it turns out they rereleased the song above (my favorite of theirs) with vocals here: https://youtu.be/r1cQ6asV9oQ?si=nlHmFQtGtz7s8_Fn but I dunno, I still much prefer the original instrumental and how it was mixed compared to the new version, which do you guys like better?
Maybe this can go a ways towards diminishing the left wing's growing bias against AI. The luddite streak on the left is really strong lately (try mentioning crypto in left wing circles to get a taste of the bias) so any inroads to combat this whole anti tech, anti science bent is welcome IMO.
I mean, Aristotle has a point but it could be argued that the tomboy having male traits indicates those mentally attracted to tomboys are therefore attracted to male traits as well. All roads lead to gay.
CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT red band trailer (no, it’s not porn)
The new version of the film was an Official Selection at Cannes 2023, and will be premiering in North America (and around the world) soon!
This is an entirely new cut of the film, assembled from 96 hours of original negatives. All the hardcore footage that was added to the original has been removed, restoring the unseen story and performances.
The original location audio was restored for this version (the original is all ADR, no location audio was used).
Every frame is either an alternate take or an alternate angle, meaning 100% of the film is “never-before-seen” footage.
And responding on Reddit to someone asking if it was a cheap project stitching extra footage together to make a quick buck...
So it’s not really “extra footage,” we had all 96 hours of original camera negative. This project took years, it’s anything but an easy quick buck. At one point we had a dozen people going through every frame of film digitally cleaning and restoring them. The movie’s 3 hours long, and there are 24 frames of film in a single second. We cleaned them all. This movie literally went through every step of post production that any movie goes through plus before that could happen all the raw footage and original audio had to be digitized and restored. And, yo, Cannes is kinda prestigious, and yo we’re kinda proud.
I've actually never seen the original (was too young to rent it back in days of video stores and hadn't thought about it since way back then) so I'm interested to check this new version out. Looks cool.
Just to calm the nerves of anyone expecting to still be alive in 2029 or 2036, the "expected impact" asteroid mentioned is Apophis which is no longer considered to in danger of hitting us. It was ruled out between 2008-2013 after the patent mentioning it was applied for so the author's mention of it was the correct understanding at the time.
In any event I'd love to see a comparison of these patents (by a qualified physicist or engineer) with those of Salvatore Cezar Pais' patents here and here which are similar sci-fi level, UAP style tech.
Only real problems I had with episode one were some geek nitpicks.
They were headed for the Borg cube super fast, if a cube was that close to Federation space I feel like that would have been a huge issue for Starfleet. Second I dislie that it seems the writers are totally against Janeway's solution to Tuvix. Tuvix was a trolley problem, there was no 100% right answer and Janeway chose the solution that saved the most lives. It's great fodder for philosophical and ethical debate but to come down and declare either choice as definitively right seems wrong. But then they did ultimately have their cake and eat it too by forcing a situation where no technically sentient life was lost splitting up the blob creature in then end so shrug I guess. In any even revisiting Voyager is aalway very welcome.
Episode 2 I gotta admit, I loved Moopsie. It's the cute bone-drinking Pokemon I never knew I wanted. Rest of the episode was meh, I'm so over Mariner's disrespect for chain of command, rebelious schtick. If they could just drop that from now on the show would improve a lot.
The problem here isn't really features, it's the Empty Restaurant Problem. Mainchan lacks the social proof to attract new users. They come, see just a few users making posts with no replies and few upvotes and they leave thinking this isn't a place where they'll find any social interaction. Then they go to a place like Lemmy/Kbin and see many users making many posts with many upvotes and many replies and they join there because Lemmy has demonstrated social proof that a mass of users will interact with them which is after all what social media sites are for.
Now one can fake social proof, there's companies for that that'll flood the place with real-looking traffic to eliminate the empty restaurant look. That's basically what Reddit did, they had everyone in the company posting and commenting under multiple accounts and employed bots to make even more posts and comments so that the site looked like it was hopping on day one. So, when Digg imploded Reddit looked like the happening place to be for the real users looking for a new platform.
For large scale growth you need users to get users. Most sites and influencers choose to fake it til they make it by using Social Proof services to boost their numbers at the start. The other route is a big ad campaign which may or may not work on it's own. A combo of the two though usually does it. That or have the one in a billion luck that your unique content goes viral (which is kinda advertising in it's own way).
After so much time spent railing against Reddit mods it feels so weird to be called "the mod" now. But yeah no this sub is a ghost town. I've linked back here from Star Trek subs on Reddit and Lemmy but no one is taking the bait. I think it's equal parts Mainchan not having a lot of users, nuTrek sucking double Klingon dicks for so long it's eroded the fan base, and other Star Trek forums already having dedicated users that aren't really looking for a new home base.
Guess the plan is just to keep this sub stocked with Trek news and reviews and take an "If you build it they will come" type approach. Thanks for being the first regular 'round here BTW. If we ever get single user flairs I'll anoint you with a title or something.
I really don't like the thought of Lower Decks deciding Star Trek canon. Following and expanding upon known canon sure. But making up new canon that presumably now has to be payed forward for the rest of Trek in perpetuity that's a job for serious live-action Trek. I get that the Orion home world is whatever, it's not like they're mucking with Vulcan or Klingon lore but they're still a major species so I'd rather their lore be established in a serious context with regard given to making their civilization as plausible and realistic as possible.
All that said this was another pretty mid episode. Tendi backstory ok but this felt weightless, like going through the motions. The funny wasn't funny enough to excuse the plot being Lower Decks boilerplate. This show has proven to be at it's best when it combines it's comedic aspirations with serious plotting. This was just fluff. That works for some but I hold Trek to a higher standard.
Dude dodged a bullet, the girl in that song is the crazy artist type. As a former musician the smoldering battlefields of my love life are littered with those girls. They're all fire and passion at the start but by the end you're questioning your own sanity and likely in worse position in life. Those are the kinda girls where you hear their name and it makes you stare off into the distance for a moment dreaming of how much better it would have been to have never met them.
One of my crazier ex GFs got back at a guy who was stealing food out of the fridge at her job by mixing in a ton of the longest lasting laxatives she could find into a tuna sub. When she saw which guy kept having to run to the bathroom she purposefully occupied it for so long the guy shit himself and had to be sent home (grocery store). I've never bothered other people's food in communal fridges but if I did I would have stopped after hearing that story.
The two buttons in the attached image are missing when making a new post (and now when editing a post or comment).
That would be great, I'm sure there are pre-made packs of animated emotes you could use.
Thanks, what can I say? I'm trippy.

Yeah the way things have been going it really might be.
The market, mixed state. The mood bros...

/s/cats dontchaknow.
I don't want to mod another sub but I think someone should start a finance sub for stock and crypto posts at this point.
See something interesting, think "fuck Reddit", post it here.

Never saw that, must be the inspiration. I've just been posting random stuff I have saved in my memes folder.

Ha cool! My anon posts would probably add like another few hundred.

It has been (or worse) since 2009.
