That shit will be on pirate sites within 20 minutes. Will be on unofficial youtube channels after that, everyone who wants to see it will see it before it hits official youtube channels. Most not through netflix.
Could be wrong, but the act of downloading music isn't what gets people in trouble, it's the uploading. When people torrent both happen, but afaik it's only the uploading portion that is actually bad.
Yeah, once that reveal dropped the movie lost me. Didn't help that the narration stated the kids were never seen again, oh wait yes they were some are even getting better now. Plus the fact no police, or fed, or anybody else in the first couple of weeks didn't look at the videos of the kids and go, hmmmm they seem to be going straight, so it wasnt until one dad decided to take it upon himself to look at that very clear clue. Was a good premise but it broke down the second the reveal happened, then breaks even more once you actually think about it for more than two seconds. Everything up to the reveal, and especially James' POV was really great though.
Its not really an old game, though i guess that depends on your age, given you've had a 20 year break from gaming you likely aren't young. The game is younger than both GTA:V and skyrim though, in saying that there is nothing wrong with old games. The half-life and portal games still hold up great, Witcher 3 is no different, its a pretty decent game. If you like this sort of thing. If you like story heavy third-person open world games with a fleshed out world then yes. Also, gwent. Ignore the standalone version, but the in-game card game is extremely addictive. Multiple endings, new game +, nothing like a souls game but it isn't a cake walk either, unless you want that.
More than 10 years ago, Australia started rolling out it's national broadband network. The original plan was for fibre-to-the-premises for every dwelling in the country. The governing party that came up with the idea was voted out for other reasons, the conservative party(s) - a coalition of two parties - gained power and stripped it back, it would be fibre-to-the-node for the majority of the country, with some places gaining fttp. or fibre-to-the-curb. Before this it was (mostly) all copper wiring and ADSL. Speeds were supposed to be close to gbit, but the conservative party questioned that, like you have, why would we need more than 20mbit speeds. Nobody needs those speeds citing this, as well as costing issues the conservative party ended up spending more to deliver less. Years later, when future reality hit everyone in the face with how internet-centric the world was becoming there were plans to bring forward fttp to all dwellings in the country, costing more. So, instead of just sticking with what was originally planned, which would have future-proofed the network for some time, they ended up spending more, to deliver less, then ended up costing more to finish the job as was originally intended. Which still isn't finished yet.
It should also be noted, that when announcing the changes to the planned network, the conservative government chose to do so at Foxtels studios. Foxtel is Australia's largest (pretty much only) cable/satellite tv provider. Foxtel, being listed on the NYSE had disclosed to investors that one of the risks to its business at the time was the upcoming NBN, given the apparent rise of Netflix, and other online streaming entertainment. Now of course it's not fair to suggest any link between the two events, as it also isnt fair to suggest that cost blowouts wouldn't have occurred had they kept to the plan. However, the facts are, they bastardised the plan, it cost tax payers more money, it required rework less than a decade later, and it still isn't up to the level it was originally intended for.
Should be noted that the conservative party is also the party that cut ABC funding (Australian Broadcasting Corparation - the public broadcaster. least biased. Most attacked by cuntservatives). Meaning the ABC couldn't afford to produce Bluey solely on their own, meaning they had to sign deals with BBC and such, which gave the BBC full merchandising rights. So, given Bluey is an Australian created world-wide smash hit, not one cent goes back to australia (minus anything from the original creators). So again, the fiscally conservative party, screwed over the people again. Then had the audacity to attack the ABC for the bad deals created for Bluey.
Massive tangent there, I apologise. However, my main point was, the majority may need more than 1gbit, or more than a couple hundred mbit right now, but it will at least be future-proofed for a good while, saving more money in the long run.
loved season 1 of Prison Break, season 2 was mostly ok but had a lot of wasted potential, and everything after that was completely off of the rails.
I felt very similarly to Heroes. It started very strong, but fizzled out quickly and eventually became a caricature of itself.
Unfortunately a product of a writers strike at the time. Other shows also got hit, Bones was one that comes to mind. Theres also the fact that it didn't really seem well thought out on what to do with prisonbreak after they got out. How do you keep that same sort of pre-planning and genius level work that micheal put in to it all. but it was an eventful show. I fear that late 00s was the last time we got a big lineup of all those types of big shows. Streaming is all well and good, but its taken away the week-by-week talking about shows that used to occur. You watch the episode, the next day everyone was talking about it, coming up with theories and ideas, now its not a given that people all watch it at the same time, and with binge watching it has, for better or worse, just killed that sort of community that existed around tv shows.
This is because season 5 is when it really leaves the source behind, or at least, starts taking the path away from source harder. I think S05e04 is the last episode I watched simply because too much was happening that wasn't source, which meant everything else to come that was going to be way out of whack. S04 really fucked me off though. I had been waiting for the battle of the wall for so long, all the other e09 episodes of seasons past were so good, then the battle at the wall felt so lackluster compared to what could have been. I really gave up on it after that.
The first few seasons though were absolute gold. I will never not feel good about stopping watching that given how much hatred the later seasons got. Never watched them, never will. Just like i'll never read the rest of the books cause he will never fucking release them.
If you compare AI 'slop' with great works of course its easy to dismiss it and bash it. But there is more human crap out there made each day than there is great works. Music, images, video, texts, all of it. For each piece of great work there is that you find, theres hundreds if not thousands of not so great works that are out there. AI works can be anything from 100% no human involvment besides the initial prompt. They can also involve time and work to get the prompt just the way the user wants. It's going to end up with more people being able to create more things.
Not everyone can draw, or play music, or make movies. Not everyone has the time or money to put everything together thats needed to make something like a good song or a good movie. AI tools are going to give more people those chances, and yes there is going to be slop, but theres already been slop for decades that was all 100% human being made, that had no meaning, no symbolism, no clever literay allusions. So what exactly is the problem with people using AI generate something?
Knowledge, especially free and easily accessible knowledge is detrimental to elites. Under educated peoples are easy to coerce, control, manipulate, scapegoat, scare, etc. So the easier it is for people to educate themselves, or just be educated the worse it is. Capitalists by default want dumb workers who don't know the meaning of value, it's part of the reason theres been a massive anti-intellectualist push this last decade or so.
Third word in OP title?

whoever told you that is your enemy
While I can't entirely say you are completely wrong, I generally do not like marvel movies yet I did enjoy the d&d movie.
Amen brother.

No... that would be somebody else.
Almost like thats what this post is about.
Optimistic to assume only 2 more rounds of layoffs in the next decade, as opposed to next year or two.

The fact the is a vulnerability/exploit to get the true email address exists. Has now been publicly disclosed so people know it exists.
They aren't going to disclose that publicly.
TL;DR... Lowest common denominator stops people setting up tailscale or the like, along with sunken cost fallacy.

UK version or BBC america version.
Eh, both are good tbh.
