What does it mean to “Shout down a speaker”? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?

We have re-invented trains for the 500th time. Good job world.

I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Lots of bandwagoning going on. It is what it is though. People are fallible and often just follow the herd instead of thinking.

That isn’t a good justification to me. If it’s ok for you then it’s ok for the rest of the world too. You might believe ads aren’t bad and that’s fine. At least we can agree to disagree on that as our opinions aren’t reconcilable. If your app can’t exist without ads then I don’t believe it should exist at all. Or any other software in the world.

I’ll let you know in 2 years when it is on sale for at least 50% off.

Put it simply I just hate ads. Anything that puts in ads is terrible. Including Sync for Lemmy who seems to have completely missed the point of getting the hell away from Reddit.

The next terrible thing is automatically generated content and bots, but I guess those are also really just ads.

What is micromobility? I am unfamiliar with this term.

I’m also convinced these are really just paid for by Apple ads. I’ve never seen anyone care about such a thing.

Report as spam and unsubscribe. If they send you more emails they are in violation of the law for the canned spam act.

Vehicular manmurder is more like it.

I understand the headphones in this scenario would be made by Sony which is why it being partnered with Noctua seems kind of pointless. They don’t bring anything to the table when it comes to headphones beyond the color scheme.

No, because Noctua is not just a color scheme it is a company known for making quality fans. I don’t care about brands. I care about quality products and as far as I’m aware they have never produced headphones before or know anything about making headphones.

I’m pretty sure they think of the person taking care of them as some analogous of a mother. We should be careful not to anthropomorphism their emotions as they are probably not quite as complex as we would like. They certainly have some degree of emotions though.

But they have no concept of “human” or “mother” so I would guess it is more like “thing stops hunger, thing warm, thing safe”. Thus they bother you when they are hungry, sit on you when they are cold and come to you when they are afraid.

Unfortunately everything is an ad now. It’s the only way these sites are capable of surviving.

I’ve never seen this show, but that guy 2nd on the left looks like some kind of skater punk in space. And that thing on the far right just makes me laugh because of how serious he is being while looking like that. I need to watch some of this just to see what it is like.

Yes, which works for the few, but they know that the majority are completely oblivious and will just consume whatever they are given.

When looking into this show awhile back I heard something about how the CGI effects were done in 4:3, but then a latter release was in 16:9 so all the CGI was stretched because they couldn’t re-render the CGI. Are they implying that this is going to be resolved with this release?

That all sounds reasonable. I’ll be sure to watch it when I have time. There are a lot of them though. Do you know where a good place to start is?

The plot of the Blame! movie is almost non-existence in the manga. Some elements of it are in there for sure, but I would not consider it even attempting to adapt the manga. But at the same time it doesn’t really matter due to the nature of the manga. Which is basically Killy going on an adventure over an indeterminate extremely long period of time across an indeterminate seemingly infinite distance. Since his adventure is basically endless the events of the movie could conceivably happen at any point in the manga.

So the only problem with the movie is that it ends. Which means you don’t really understand how endless his journey is.

I’ve also just never seen Macross. The art always looked beautiful, but I’ve never picked it up because I didn’t understand the concept of the singing in a sci fi setting. I’m sure I would enjoy it whatever is going on, but I’ve had endless other things to watch and read.
