I could need a bit of help regarding an old US movie which I cannot remember the title of.
It is a about a couple, probably set in the 1950s and black and white, which goes on their honeymoon in the US with a caravan. Everything goes wrong and I remember that at one point, the caravan comes off from the car and roles down a hill, I think with the bride still inside.
Hint: I don't think it's this movie:
Thanks!
@lashman yeep. Using them for my business e-mail saves me having to juggle PGP keys, but they're a major platform subject to Swiss and Interpol law enforcement requests. This is not an appropriate platform for activism or, really, any kind of privacy you need to be sure of.
It's a shame running diy secure email servers is such a pain.
The challenge is that the baseline features of activitypub are essentially impossible to build an effective client off of.
It's not just they are defining their own interfaces, it is that they _have_ to define their own interfaces if they want to be even reasonably effective at their chosen tasks at scale because of the limitations on how collections can be dereferenced
There are ways around this with FEPs and such, but it's not in the protocol
There's this thesis in @Hbomberguy latest video about plagiarism¹ that talks about the way plagiarists *think* about the people they copy from as being *beneath* them. Socially acceptable to take advantage of.
It's a fascinating behaviour.
Does #OpenSource have users who think of the creators as contemptible? Probably not, most of the users I talk to aren't like that at all.
Most. One or two have rung this bell for me over the years though
¹ 4 hours long! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ go watch it!
A few weeks ago I had a chance to temporarily become a guide for a #blind person and I must admit, it makes one see the surrounding infrastructure in a completely new light, because normally we don't think about it at all.
It also really shows off how badly designed #accessibility of public spaces can be.
Every time I interact with public transportation I'm annoyed there are no or insufficient audible clues for vision impaired people, or visual information for deaf people. It somehow is always only either one or another. Or even none at all.
And it's just a tip of the iceberg of accessibility problems, there are huge numbers of other issues that I'm not even aware of.
It's hard to believe to be honest.
What I'm listening to today: "Dissolution III (Oversaturated Intervallic Collisions)", Earth
This 15-minute piece, performed live on NYU's college radio station in 2002, is my favorite Earth recording, and one of their most difficult to find a legit copy of.
It's a series of pendulous guitar distortions layering deeper and deeper on themselves. It's impossible to rationally comprehend as music, and best experienced as ritual. Listen to it as loudly as you can stand.
