People are still using facebook and reddit by the hundreds of millions or billions. Most people don’t give 2 shits about technology, just that it sort of works. Most people are Jen.

that baby looks white as hell

There’s also WhatFont add on/browser extension that lets you highlight text on a website and it’ll tell you what font it is!

Android phones do not officially support anything except for the distro that came installed.

That being said, any android phone theoretically can run any android custom rom, as long as the CPU is compatible.

2001 A Space Odyssey is still 100% watchable and just as thought provoking today as it was in the 70s.

Many people say that Sofia Coppola ruined the movie for them, but IMO it’s more so the stark contrast between a young/middle aged Michael coming into his own in the 1st 2 movies, and a senior citizen Michael regretful of his choices in the final act. The party comes to a close and we’re reminded of the terminus of all things.

IMHO, while most fans of the series say Part 1 is the best, Part 2 with De Niro as Young Vito is arguably far superior. The first movie is quite dry and you really have to be paying attention to names and conversations, while the 2nd movie has a lot more going for it dynamically and is easier to follow.

Francis Ford Coppola.

It’s a masterclass in acting, cinematography, and soundtracking. Not only that, but Mario Puzo’s novel which came out shortly before the movie was produced was a smash hit.

In the 70s, movies didn’t look like The Godfather. They looked like weird objective cameras put on a tripod and just filming actors, with not as much thought put into the “feel” of the film. FFC (as well as other directors such as Hitchcock and Kubrick) essentially invented modern cinematography. Remember watching Avatar for the first time? It was kind of like that for movie going audiences.

It was always hailed as an “epic drama” so you have to kind of temper your expectations based off that. It’s not a “murder a minute” gangster flick like a Scorsese picture.

What intensive tasks are you performing on your phone?

Or get a pine phone and save $1000+

Either.

Both are programmed to harvest every single bit of information you input into it, including access other devices on your network if you use wifi.

Buy the one with the nicest camera I guess.

If you care about privacy, get a Pine phone.

People hated TFA for all of the wrong reasons (and several REALLY wrong reasons), but it was actually a decent and competent action/adventure movie. Albeit not a great Star Wars movie, but pretty decent. TLJ was hot garbage. I didn’t even watch TRoS. Still haven’t.

The Gift, starring Jason Bateman.

The movie itself is fairly well made, albeit low budget af because it’s a Netflix movie. The problem is the plot.

Fucking trash movie. Not even shocking. Just complete garbage.

All of the animal torture scenes were completely in bad taste. I met Ruggero Deodato once. I told him that I really respected how raw and violent Cannibal Holocaust was, and the legalities behind the movie were fascinating, but that the animal cruelty is beyond reproach, truly disgusting.

Meanwhile dbzer0 is still federated to Hexbear, despite having a strict “no tankie” policy.

Marxist-Leninists aren’t communists. They’re Stalinists. Authoritarians.

They’re using “fascist” when they mean “authoritarian” or “totalitarian”.

In all fairness, there’s very little difference. Communism isn’t supposed to be authoritarian, but paint enough murals of someone and see what that does to their ego.

Stalin wasn’t a communist. He had the Bolsheviks assassinated. He was an imperialist.
