@aral Yes it should be. But I prefer to err on the safest side because I never know what clever nasty people can do months from now. It’s my personal zero trust style of life.

“Neofetch is dead” is also “uninstall neofetch” before some clever bad actor uses the repo to distribute bad things you don’t want on your machines. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon (cit).

@aral Today "antisemitic!" is just a trigger to activate a collective global guilt sense that should make all of us blind in front of zionist (not jewish: zionist) politics and above all actions.

The sooner we'll understand this, the better.

@liztai I envy you so much now :blobcatthumbsup:

AI for stupid SEO articles on the web? Why just that? Scientific publications too! https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/02/scientists-aghast-at-bizarre-ai-rat-with-huge-genitals-in-peer-reviewed-article/

Well, there is a big deal of.. let's call it "social-washing" or woke-ism... in many American movies, now. Sometimes it's just marketing, to reach a broader and more diverse audience, sometimes not.

I don't live in the States so my opinion doesn't actually count, but for what I see having more media productions where American WASP values are questioned and criticized has little consequences on society. Again, I'm not there so I'm not the right guy here.

Here in Europe there is of course a different collection of values and media tropes. Specifically in Italy, we've had for decades the strongest Communist party of the Western Europe: this mattered in fostering a society where the "Americans are the best, Russians and Chinese are the worst" trope never worked. In movies as in anything else.

After all, we invented spaghetti western movies where baddies and good guys aren't that different. John Wayne was rolling in his grave, I guess.

That said, in my first contacts with Chinese modern media it was interesting - and refreshing - to see different dynamics and yes, let the East save the world. I can't say the same for Korean media, where everything seems (to me) a bit too staged.

@liztai
Also, I wonder how much the Netflix audience know about Liu Cixin. And Chinese SF style in general, when not "mediated" by well known sino-american writer and translators like Ken Liu or Ted Chiang.

@liztai

It could happen, I'm afraid. Cooperation witch China is probably a too complex concept for the typical US-oriented Netflix audience.

There's still hope, anyway. "The Wandering Earth" is on Netflix (at least for us in the EU) in the original version. So, maybe, we'll be able to watch Three Bodies in the new and in the original releases.

One can always hope. 😀
