Sorry, but in my book, nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies random violence. Your justification of it sickens me and I’m surprised that you got so upvoted. I’ve been on the breaking point from things that were happening inside my own home as a kid, but I never took it on my little brother, or other kids. Instead, I was taking it against the actual aggressor (my father), even if it resulted in more beatings and hairline broken jaws, and put the knife, or the gun on my head. So, yes, I’ve been through some shit myself. But I protected my brother and my mother as much as I could. Doing random violence, as you described it, against people who might have their own cross to bear is not justified. EVER.

And yes. They CAN act against Bezos, Musk, and the board of Exxon. They can easily find where these people are, paparazzis certainly can. Every second day we have pictures of Bezos with his darling gf. Get organized so the locals can take it against him when he visits somewhere. But you don’t act against your fellow citizen who is also a victim of oppression and climate change, or destroy classic works of art. What kind of BS is that??

The Matrix is unprecedented indeed. Perfect intro too.

It was good for the first 2-3 first episodes, but it was going down for me later on. I didn’t actually finish it.

it is, but what’s depicted is true. Even Luis Elizondo said “stick with it”, that there’s something to it.

I can’t find it on either Izzy or f-droid. I can only find infinity for reddit.

There is interoperability between PixelFed and Mastodon for sure. I often get a lot of likes from there, rather than PixelFed itself.

You can follow me if you like book illustration art: https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli Another way, is to search for tags. For example, if you like fishing, you search for that tag, and then you find ppl that post interesting fishing stuff.

Thank you!!! Here is my art account: https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli

My favorite is PixelFed. I’m an artist, so Instagram was important for me, but for a few years now it’s absolutely terrible (no reach at all with their special algorithms). PixelFed fixes all that, it replicates the feeling of IG as it was 8-10 years ago: chronological feed, tag-based, no extraneous features. I’m really enjoying it, as I can finally grow again my followship as an artist: https://pixelfed.org/

Is it on f-droid? I don’t have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.

I grew up very poor in Greece, and my mom used to give us a slice of bread that had poured white sugar on it, and… olive oil. It was many years later that I realized that these were deconstructed donuts.

I always use the subscription feed, in fact, my custom homepage has a link to specifically that page. However, my husband didn’t even notice that there was such an option and only uses the recommended feed (we talked about it recently). I personally can’t stand recommendation engines. These have destroyed my art business in social media platforms. I need chronological.

I think they gave the project to the wrong filmmaker though. She is more of an indie filmmaker, not a blockbuster one. You know who would do a good blockbuster, even if they only have 1 feature film on their belt, and only a handful of short films? The two brothers who did this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_(2019_film) They made their film for only $7k, and they made extreme efforts to feel like an Amblin-era Spielberg blockbuster. For $7k. I can’t even grasp what they can do with $100 mil!

It’s lack of vision, and corporate control. These amazing writers and directors who signed in for this project did it for the bucks. They delivered a cookie cutter product, as the boss asked them to. They didn’t approach it with passion, with innovation, with blood-pumping mystery and intrigue. It’s just a well-paying job to them, and a resume line. So, it doesn’t come out good.

At this point, I dislike ALL marvel TV shows on D+. Loki was the best for me, but they kind of destroyed his character, so that fell flat too.

From the Star Wars side, the first 2 seasons of Mandalorian were good, and also Andor. Neither Boba Fett nor Kenobi were good (they felt as flat as Marvel shows feel). Andor is probably the most well done show in the whole of D+. And the reason for it is simple: Tony Gilroy was left alone to realize his vision, a vision he always wanted to do, but wasn’t given the opportunity before. In fact, Disney was completely hands-off. Neither Kennedy nor Disney interfered, because they believed that the show will be kind of underground (and indeed, they didn’t market it much). So they kind of ignored it. The ONLY thing they asked Gilroy to change was the F-word in the last episode.

But in the Marvel side, everything goes through Kevin Feige, and everything get homogenized so it appeals to everyone. Hence that final feeling of blah.

For Marvel to survive, they need to give voice to talents to provide us with a unique vision, like we’ve seen with Andor, or Joker (while at the same time, keeping the timeline intact, of course).

I don’t like infinite scrolling. It’s resource heavy after a while.

Also, I just tried Aurora just for kicks, and it now complains that there is conflict, after installing Summit via Obtainium. Not great…

I just did, and the Summit version on github is older than the one on the Google play store!

Yeah, that doesn’t work for me then… I’m trying to avoid Google and stuff… Good luck with the app, it looks nice!

Looks great! Plz also post the app on the F-Droid app store. There are a lot of us who use completely de-googled android distributions that are more private! Thx!
