The D Quuuuuill

The 1954 movie is so dense with meaning. It’s a true masterpiece of film making. Sometimes I say that and people act like I haven’t see “good” movies or I’m just reaching too hard on a dumb monster movie. But Godzilla is a movie we still talk about 72 years later. It’s one that we still judge other installments in the media franchise by. Godzilla Minus One is probably the only installment that’s worth considering as being on the same level as the original. It speaks to me more closely, but I also think there’s something lost from the original. The new puts more focus on ecological devastation, while the old one has more to say about humanity. My outlook on the world is that the original has everything to say about ecological devastation that the old one did, it’s just that it’s not as centered. I end up liking the new one more because it maps more directly to my lived reality, however, if someone has to ONLY watch one, I think they should watch 1954’s movie. All of the 69 years of film making advancements on display don’t change the fact that Godzilla 1954 had a message to deliver and that it was going to deliver it even if all of the technology we have today didn’t exist yet.

i was thinking that. like an adam sandler movie but where the writer is actually conscious of that teh objectification of women is wrong and also that sex workers will still need work once sex work no longer is viable, and that they possess skills that make them effective in other jobs

i stopped using twitter around 2013 after adopting it in 2007. i deleted my account entirely when it sold

it’s so weird, too, because Hooters was originally founded to make use of a closed down strip club, and they just leaned on that as a gimmick. they hired all the sex workers who had worked at that strip club. but they did all as a joke.

like there’s a universe where hooters was founded by a locally owned employee driven co-op to keep the people who depended on that strip club solvent, and did their whole “it’s a family joint” as a schtick to maintain their employees’ dignities. instead we got buffalo wild wings that degrades their employees’ dignities even further than buffalo wild wings by objectifying them entirely and fetishizing the product they sell.

there’s WAY too many nazis in open source. it makes me so mad. the originators of these tools and licenses believed in making tools available for everyone so that we could be the owners. but then these fucking selfish assholes don’t want anything but for themselves. they contribut to Linux, sure, but not out of any desire that Linux grow or be usable for everyone, but just out of their own desire to not pay for something and then an opportunity to weild petty power over someone.

i am so sorry you experienced that. it was not an experience anyone should have to endure.

ah, i took the stray shots to be us, linux users and linux users groups, not linux, and then i didn’t pick up you were inventing a hypothetical scenario to frame a joke, so to me it seemed like a callback to a real prior redhad announcement i hadn’t heard about. with that context, it seemed like a non-sequitar and then flippant refusals to explain the reference. the additional context you just gave was extremely helpful because we had different ideas of who the “we” in the original framing was

yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.

it’s still “around” but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM’s purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i’m sure if you installed it you’d find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you’d hit something that made you go “hey wait”

1. bring attention to that people on lemmy are participating in No Kings
2. draw a connection between the Red Hats and RedHat

personally i’d not have made the association joke since IBM, the RedHat corporation’s parent company is genuinely participatory in both the Latin/Indigenous American genocide and Israel’s genocide against muslims in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and other nearby nations, not to mention RedHat themselves have been exploiting people’s labor in North Carolina and haven’t done hardly anything to help the neighboring communities around their offices in Charlotte and Ashville, but i don’t expect most people shitposting about Linux on Lemmy to be keyed into the real world impacts the RedHat corporation has on my friends and neighbors

what are you saying, what are you talking about? it feels like you’re making reference to something which seems obvious to you but the rest of us don’t know what you’re referring

“accidentally”

look at how it was dressed

civil trial

i wish peertube had more/better discovery tools

on mobile i highly recommend ironfox if you have the patience and knowlege to set up f-droid

hi. slrpnk.net user here. yes. grass is political. when you mow your grass is determined by social contracts, the kind of grass you grow is reflective of the economic pressures you experience. when a city makes a green area, they must engage with politics on how to determine where and what the green area will be.

since the dawn of civilization, aka growing grass for food purposes, grass growing has been both political in its decision making, as well as a driving force in politics.

everything is political, and calling people who think that chronically online is goofy

and worse, scams that are ALL over the play store

RedHat: noooo, fedora’s definitely for sure independent. you’re not just doing free labor for IBM

hasn’t been the easiest in about 7 years haha

i think an OS can be made entirely by a corporation, or entirely by one hobbyist with no funding. something like fedora is made by volunteers with corporate funding, whereas something like Arch is made by volunteers with donations, some of which might be coming from corporate representatives
