This is awesome, do you know who made the original?

But the action wasn’t even good here. Constant cutting makes it impossible to see what’s happening on screen and the cgi also did not look good in this movie, especially for what the movie cost. And let’s not even talk about fight choreography because it’s basically non existent. This movie has no redeeming features.

How can the picture be real if your eyes aren’t real?

How can the picture be real of your eyes aren’t real?

Battery life is brilliant! I have my phone set to only charge to 85% to preserve battery health and the only times it runs out is next day when I forget to charge it overnight. The snapdragon 8gen2 is much more efficient than the gen1 the year before (and Google’s tensor chips). I was not happy with the price either. The S23 is 90% of the ultra for much less money. I ended up going with the ultra purely because I kinda disliked the shape/feel of the S23 in my hands and found a decent deal. But the s23 is much better value (same chip, still very good camera and screen) all you’re missing out is the 10x zoom and the S-pen, both of wich are nice to have but definitely situational.

Got an s23 ultra last year, I’m loving it. I don’t really know what the people here mean by bloat, you can uninstall almost everything you don’t want, and disable the rest of the apps right from the phone. ADB exists if you want to dive deeper but I haven’t found the need.

Loving the fast chip and crazy cameras, some of Samsung’s extensive software is actually useful, and one ui has more customisability than any other flavour I’ve tried before. Much of the customisation is hidden behind this this app called Goodlock that allows you to change pretty much anything on the os. For example you can hide the app names on the home screen or have different actions depending on the angle you drag the back gesture from the side (I have a down swipe set to a system wide search for example). It’s crazy in comparison that Google doesn’t even allow you to remove their dumb search bar from the home screen without changing to a different launcher.

Even so, there are some small idiosyncrasies that are annoying. You can’t have a vertical app drawer without changing launcher, it’s annoying to apply themes from the play store and not Samsung’s shitty theme store, and if you unlock your phone with your face you can’t still tap your finger afterwards to unlock, you have to swipe. Every platform has some of these, you gotta pick your poison here. Graphene os up until recently didn’t support android auto and I still don’t think you can use your phone for contactless payments. Not sure about play protect and banking apps, I’m sure others here can tell you.

I the end, I got the ultra for the camera hardware but I also really didn’t want to give Google any money. With Graphene os now having android auto I might have reconsidered but I’d have to do more research on what limitations Graphene has.

Pirates! is amazing

• Capturing ships to make your own fleet
• Searching for lost treasure
• Many different ships and upgrades to choose from (go war canoe)
• Sword fighting
• Wooing governor’s daughters (somewhat similar in gameplay to sword fighting)
• (mediocre) stealth and land battles
• Free your family from the grasp of Baron Raymondo (Evil!)
• Battle famous pirates and take their ships

Or 3

I fully agree we should be doing a lot more against climate change. The whole world should be.

That said these kind of protesters always look like clowns to me. Especially when their ‘protest’ is just to inconvenience the general public by blocking roads or pouring coloured liquid on something. You’re not solving anything just being a cunt.

You can still dislike these people if you don’t think they are making a difference. If they are not achieving results, these actions are just a detriment for everyone.

I’ve tried yatee several times now on various ios devices but there always seem to be issues. Do you know an invidious instance where 4k works reliably?

I was concidering switching to an apple TV if it had proper adblock for YouTube. I guess this won’t be the case then

Yep

Reading about the suicide thing: I might try kagi again this year. This is the exact type of software I want. It should only perform its intended function (returning relevant results to any query) and not try to influence me into following someone else’s moralisations.

What is this ‘Credit Card’ you speak of?

What a shame, so much wasted potential

Triangle of Sadness, The Menu

Highly recommend both of them

TV: The White Lotus

I’m over Google. It used to be like you describe but now when I see a new Google project, my first reaction is disgust at the potential new avenues of data harvesting. Then I go look for an open source project that does the same thing.

They have ruined their image for me forever. Still use some of their stuff, but I’m trying to be less reliant on it.

Boost has it. I also have Elmo and Twitter added, it’s been much calmer since. Haven’t added X yet because I don’t know if it would block every word with an x in it though.

Normal people? Probably mostly Facebook, Instagram and candy crush. You can just take a look at the top free apps in your app store but I’ll give you a spoiler: it’s 99% junk.

Okay so I actually checked. The top 3 are Temu (a ripoff shopping app), WhatsApp and Tiktok in my region
