They tend to push out crowd work clips on socials because it means their followers who’ve seen all their clips and decide to buy tickets aren’t just going to hear material they’ve already seen online. That said, some comedians are just doing “crowd work specials” (Matteo Lane comes to mind) where it’s purely a crowd work hour and those seem to sell out. Times a changing.

Iirc this happened at a border crossing outside of American jurisdiction where the officers argued that those laws do not apply (while insisting that the american laws he is being charged for breaking do)

Some more subtle tells I’ve noticed from Github repositories is if all files were added on the same date (especially when there’s no further revisions) and if the version number starts at 1.0 or 1.0.0. With real open source development they tend to work through revisions of alpha and eventually beta builds, and some will skip “1.0” releases entirely maybe due to influence from the Linux kernel’s versioning being whatever Linus feels like. Hope this helps in any way :)

Lmao check his profile. þey’re doing god’s work

An absolutely brutal candidate summary for independent Paul Gullen:

Gullan previously ran as a Legalise Cannabis candidate at the 2025 state election in Collie Preston and the 2025 federal election in Canning. He was disendorsed as the party’s candidate for the latter election after it discovered what it called a “trail of antisemitic rants”. Gullan disputes the allegation he is antisemitic.

I’m australian myself and I have absolutely no idea which is the norm haha

It’s synonymous with cinemas. Might be an Aussie/British English thing.

Hey buddy this doesn’t look like a great service. It isn’t open source but claims to be, and appears to have only been around a couple of months.

A project with a lot of backing called Nextcloud could work for you. It has a service called Nextcloud Talk that you’ll be able to throw on their dumb phone and if you want to you can use it as an alternative to dropbox/onedrive and google docs.

edit: a benefit of nextcloud talk is that your kid won’t be able to add some random person or do anything too nefarious with it and if they did you’d be able to see everything

Snot here might be getting at how Ruffalo wasn’t involved in the press tour for the movie, which more politically engaged fans saw as a snub from Disney. If the studio throws his character back into a CGI Savage Hulk then it could be a lot easier to get rid of Ruffalo entirely.

I take your point on Captain Marvel but Disney is in bed with Trump

They developed a think button are you shitting me

I think the vibe of audience’s returning to cinema might also have a bit to do with the writer’s strike offering a break from content churn we all became exhausted with, especially in Marvel. The strike pushed the pipeline back and now we’re getting some really great stuff again

I would normally shy away from a Netflix movie on account of their more recent tell don’t show mentality but a Tarantino script directed by Fincher sounds like a match made in a personal heaven for me

Don’t let me eat my words on this guys lmao

Problem I get is some places call it an Americano when us Aussies generally call it a long black. Same shit with cup sizes, it’s maddening when you have to figure out how to order your usual at some place pretending to be more upmarket than they are

As others have said, just avoid McCafe like the plague find an actual coffee spot via recommendations from locals

Findings could improve training for lip readers and boost the capacity for artificial intelligence to read lips and provide transcription and other digital services.

Horrifying potential for AI but I guess you do have to throw it in the mix in order to get funding for research like this

100%. From the arstechnica piece:

Making Old Reddit users log in could impact Reddit scraping but also will address Reddit’s interest in connecting as much traffic as possible to specific users—a strategy that is common among companies like Reddit that rely on advertising for revenue.

I just found this out naturally and immediately came to lemmy to see if someone’s posted about it.

Seriously I don’t want a reddit account and old.reddit.com without logging in has been a great way of checking up on the odd thing without having an account and being stuck in the dark patterns that keep you engaging
