The depressing part is that Netflix winning would be objectively terrible for viewers and society and yet somehow a successful Paramount bid would be far more terrible
this pretty much guarantees months and months of performative bullshit by Trump and Ellison and right wing media about how Netflix ownership would be a woke antitrust nightmare, but letting Larry and his nepobaby son dominate U.S. media would be a delightful, populist spritzer
It’s a Bidding War: Paramount Attempts Hostile Offer for Warner Bros.
David Ellison calls Netflix's $82.7 billion deal value an "inferior proposal" and tells Warners shareholders that his coalition promises $18 billion more in cash.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Eu tenho uma dúvida muito sincera: o Jim Caviezel vai reproduzir a língua presa e o volume absurdo de perdigotos voando quando ele tá putaço?
(Se bem que os perdigotos sempre dá pra adicionar na pós-produção, mas ainda assim, fica a pergunta)

O Brasil é ambiente propício pra IA nadar de braçada pq essas ferramentas mexem com uma força motriz do brasileiro: elas passam a impressão pro usuário de que eles são mais espertos do que quem não está usando
sim. Tenho colegas no trabalho q usam pra fazer a transmissão do residente, q nada mais é do q max 3 linhas pra cada pessoa qdo td vai bem. Eu fico escandalizada pq a pessoa demora + tempo pra entrar as infos no GPT do q se escrevesse ela msm diretamente
Deixa eu contar pra vocês que fora da minha bolha na internet e do mundinho bsky, as pessoas estão BEM compradas pela IA hein. É gente que conversa com chatgpt chamando de “querida”, é gente que vê como indispensável no trabalho, são pessoas convencidas de q não é uma bolha q vá estourar

i am a workflow enjoyer and i'm addicted to astrophotography's various workflows, all of which run through a half dozen niche freeware programs i've never heard of before
![OP's explanation of his workflow, as follows:
–]Pelo_Telescopio[S] 3 points 14 hours ago
Like this. The planetary camera makes a film. In this case, there were 20 seconds of footage generating 475 frames using SharpCapture software. A processing program (autostakker), through a stack algorithm, aligns the 25% best frames to generate a single image. It then goes through another program (IMPPG) that performs deconvolution (recovers part of the signal lost in the image compression process). And finally the post processing in the Affinity software. Where fine details are improved and color is added. It takes a little work at first but once you get the hang of it it gets easier. All are free software.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vyl2i7k2fuk7lbnmlxh3vof/bafkreiht2qazux4gnuhvxw7qngt4jcxgknuloquoitdyezwhjbf4pbdwjm@jpeg)

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site.
By that I mean BAD PR.
I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.
