In a Neal Brennan stand-up special (Piped link) he mentions he uses a Pavlok to shock him every 3 minutes on stage to remind him to smile.
Can they just insist it’s pronounced like jimp and sidestep the issue? Imgur, .gif, GNOME, GIPHY get to set their own rules on pronunciation.
I heard of it from a Reddit comment about an easter egg location in Diablo 3 called “The Fowl Lair.” It’s filled with chickens and a single Greasy Pig.
The fable of the Chicken and the Pig is used to illustrate the differing levels of commitment from project stakeholders involved in a project. The basic fable runs:
A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”
Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”
The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”
The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”

There’s a video by a designer talking about some of the symbolism of Ellie’s journey (Full talk video here – SPOILERS for the film in both).
And also an insightful YouTube comment(!) someone made in response describing their interpretation:
"This is one of the most thoughtful and insightful reviews on deeper film meanings I think I’ve ever seen. In keeping with the rebirth symbolism, I would offer the following possibilities.
There’s undeniably imagery of execution and rebirth simultaneously occurring within the same frames! The filmmakers did an outstanding of capturing some very compelling storytelling while inserting remarkable symbolism."
I was really hoping for an Orange Cube around the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx.
AFAIK it’s the Blu-ray “Skynet edition” release.
Seems like there might be a lot different versions of releases, saw a Collider review which mentions a Japanese version being “somewhat better” and mentions “There’s production commentary from the laserdisc, with 26 participants, and the Cameron and screenwriter William Wisher commentary from one of the earlier DVD releases.”
On IMDB I saw this mentioned:
On the ‘Ultimate Edition’ DVD as well as the ‘Skynet Edition’ Blu-ray, there are three versions of the film, albeit only two at the menu, the Theatrical and Special Edition versions. However, highlighting the ‘Special Edition’ option and keying in ‘82997’ (August 29, 1997), will open a Extended Special Edition Option, with the T-1000 searching John’s room and an Alternate ending added on and replaced. Some DVD players may need to push ENTER between each digit.
In the totally legitimate digital copy it has both of those elements so it’s probably the ‘Extended Special Edition’ [Super Mega Turbo 2000]. I definitely prefer the theatrical ending.
EDIT: Found this on YouTube
I learned a lot about the production and design choices around Terminator 2 from the commentary – the totally legitimate digital copy I have has 2 tracks (one labeled just director and the other director & writer) and I think I remember most stuff from the one with the writer.
I haven’t checked it out but I’ve heard good things about the Cannibal! The Musical commentary track, IIRC they get progressively drunker throughout.
I tried to link an image but comment got removed for the URL being on the blacklist - not sure if it was the image link or the link giving attribution which pointed to Twitter (I’m assuming the latter).
Tried to post the Corporate Memphis version of “Saturn Devouring His Son”
Hopefully I can hotlink that image. If it doesn’t load it is the Corporate Memphis version of “Saturn Devouring His Son” attributed to @clayohr on twitter
Just seemed like a needlessly confusing specific detail to include as it is not a necessity to have any wifi connectivity at all and might mislead OP/readers into assuming it has some relevance to ports. It should be sufficient to just say router unless the question involves SSIDs or related components specific to that connection method.
Just to clarify, nothing about ports requires wifi to be involved at all. It doesn’t need to be a wifi router, a network doesn’t have to be connected via wifi.
The Piped bot pisses me off because it doesn’t seem to check if the triggering comment already includes the exact link it’s about to post. I used to preemptively include Piped links with any YouTube ones but since it would trigger the bot anyway I just stopped bothering.
Aside from the clutter it adds, until I added the bot itself to my blocklist (instead of just relying on “Show bots” being unchecked in settings) it would also cause reply notifications that couldn’t be cleared in the default Lemmy web UI.
I haven’t looked into it but that code has to be a creative reference to the Genesis album/song “Abacab.”
Just clickbait posted by a user with same name as the author/site owner.
This wasn’t an innocent request for interesting topics to follow, it was taking the stance that only serious topics get discussed here and it’s boring:
I’d like to see the fedi let its hair down a bit. It’s okay to talk about stuff other than infosec, privacy guides, distros, and Gaza.
It wasn’t a demand, but certainly requesting that we “let our hair down a bit” and that they “often get bored of the Fediverse.”
This post could have been phrased as “What are some good non-political or news related communities?” And I’ll gladly accept the label of being elitist if it’s because I have minimal expectations that people explore for solutions before complaining and implying it’s everyone else that needs to change. You can’t browse all without easily bumping into the things I listed, and if you aren’t aware there’s different filtering options there’s always a sidebar link instructing you how the platform works.
I’m not the one complaining about being bored and requesting that everyone else amuse me. All those things I listed are things that are regularly posted so what’s the issue?
It might open an unwanted can of worms but maybe the drivers could claim they aren’t
