I wrote to Gilroy’s brother about exactly that (he’s the editor of andor). He didn’t reply, but a few months later Tony Gilroy came out and said that there has been interest from fans to do exactly what you said, but he won’t, because Rogue One was what it was, and that was it... I hope he changes his mind, because it…

There are answers to every one of your questions if you had bothered to actually read a couple of books instead of coming here thinking that your questions are smart. Here are the answers to all of your questions one by one.

I’ve never seen a single post on mastodon in the last year I’m on it that was controversial-enough, or more so, illegal. I’m not saying that these posts don’t exist, but I have 3 Mastodon accounts on 3 of the biggest instances, and I haven’t seen a bad post yet. As far as I know, these instances are blocked quickly…

Ugh. If you read the Disclosure Act, the language of the law itself does not dispute at all that these UAPs are alien. If anything, the language itself reinforces it. And the senators and representatives have been quite hint-y about it too. So, no, this is not some societal/political science mumbo-jumbo that this…

The whole point of Murena’s eOS is to provide a privacy-based OS, without any kind of tracking, so why are you complaining that “it’s not worth it”? This is like saying that people should not run Linux because sometimes you have to use the command line, so “it’s not worth it”. For many people the extra power or…

So all the collage artists (who are commercial) out there are illegal now? While Supreme Court’s own 1995 ruling about transformation deemed legal? This is really bad for creativity. Some art forms are simply remixes, it’s their nature.

This is also my theory about all these near-death experiences, psychedelic trips and even some ufo abduction reports: their testimonies are filled with pointers that we come from an AI-driven world, without a body, where whatever you think it materializes in front of you, you can go to places with just a thought, but…

Gilroy had said that it takes 9 months to shoot 12 episodes, and then it takes another 12 months to finish the VFX. Two years turnaround is normal for series these days. Same for Severance, which has a lot less VFX.

We all understand what “processed foods” means, even if there is no strict definition for the word.

I have very bad health with various chronic diseases, and I can’t eat processed foods. I get instantly sick (latest in my saga were some gluten free oat chocolate cookies from Trader Joe’s). These fake burgers and salmons are extremely processed to get them to look like that. I can’t even try them before I get all…

Yes, of course. I still don’t like it.

I really do not like this tv show. The ideas are just contrived, and hastily put together, despite its enormous budget. It doesn’t feel like a cult classic, it just feels like an expensive network show that gets forgotten easily. It doesn’t draw me into its world at all, and the idea of the soul animals is not…

Sorry, but I do get behind the talk about the show being way worse than it should have been. Serious critics also took shots at it after the end of the 1st season, not just youtubers. In fact, while for Star Wars and other properties youtubers can get bitchy, for this show everyone, *universally*, seem to have hated…

Mastodon links are STILL getting blocked, even if they removed the wording. Nothing really has changed.

I’m an artist, and also an ex-programmer (first job out of college was AI). Then I left the field, and for 10 years now I’m a published artist in countless magazines, book covers, and even movies. I find nothing unethical about AI using human knowledge to train itself. The truth is that AI is progress, plain and…

Fully agreed with your comment. Indeed, Severance takes the top spot. Andor takes the second.

Mastodon is great, just make sure you use the web version, not the mobile app one. Then, the interface makes a lot more sense. The mobile app is not ready.

I highly disliked the ending. It was overly silly and just wasn’t funny. Yes, there’s always the argument of “what if deadpool had done it instead of she-hulk?”. And all I can answer to that, is that deadpool is overall done better. It’s really funny all around, while she-hulk was not. So when we reached the finale,…

No. Their algorithm favors certain channels, the official channels of big news corporations and big entertainers. This is something that can be tweaked and fixed. Either all of them get censored, or not — the odd video slipping in or getting banned notwithstanding.

It’s actually disheartening that normal non-star artists and youtubers get age-restricted and demonetized easily, while big stars and big news corporations do not, for much more explicit or more adult content. It’s ok for rappers to be rapping about these things and be explicit on video, or for cnn or fox showing…
