I think it's either this or a reenactment. I'm horrible at spotting AI, but the kitchen layout looks a little too consistant between the two pics to be completely AI. The only problem is the "second dishwasher." I'm not sure that's what it is, though. it looks too narrow. It could be a refrigerated drawer or wine fridge, or maybe one of those big drawers that holds a garbage can. Or maybe it's AI! 🤷‍♀️

Thirding / Fourthing Budget Bytes. Also, I love Fattributes. I'm pretty sure it's someone's personal recipe dumping ground, but there's usually something new every couple of days and they tag EVERYTHING so it's easy to search. I've found a lot of blogs there that I might not have known about otherwise. Also, they're very much against AI-generated slop!

Weird Fact: This is the film that inspired Octavia Butler to become a writer!

As I was watching this film, I had a series of revelations. The first was that "Geez, I can write a better story than that." And then I thought, "Gee, anybody can write a better story than that." And my third thought was the clincher: "Somebody got paid for writing that awful story." So I was off and writing, and a year later I was busy submitting terrible pieces of fiction to innocent magazines.

The movie's on Tubi and Pluto (Rifftrax version) if anyone wants to see it.

WTF is going on over there? The sites are back now, but what kind of glitch causes people to be "randomly" (supposedly) banned like that, and why hasn't it been fixed?

That sounds like a good idea! I thought this was just someone with a grudge until you started talking about the other articles they'd edited. I can't say for sure if they're all bad faith edits, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were others besides what they added to the Fediverse article.

Yeah, this needs to be brought to someone's attention. It's not just someone adding their personal opinion to the Fediverse article, but they're also messing up a bunch of other articles, too. I'd almost call it vandalism. OP, maybe you could get together with some other editors and bring it up to an administrator / mods?

I'm not sure about Roku. I brought up the Fire Stick because that's what I have, and you were asking about other streaming platforms, too. I suppose you could try loading something on your TV's browser and see if it works? It'd probably be super clunky but it would do until there's a dedicated app.
