mortrek@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?English12·1 year agoSame deal with ave. It’s fine, his content also started going downhill.
Celebrities gross me out, and my crush turned out to be an insufferable c***.
Not to be depressing… When i was 5 I sometimes slept in bed next to my mom. Woke up one of those days and she was already in rigor mortis. I touched her and she felt like an uncooked turkey, if that makes any sense. Took me a couple decades before I could actually handle an uncooked turkey or like, be around someone wearing her favorite perfume without almost fainting. Nobody knew exactly what killed her, maybe just sudden death syndrome.
If animals count, when i was about 6 my sister had a horse that slipped on the cement and when it managed to pull itself back up… I don’t think it’s totally accurate, but my memory is that its whole body was raining blood a few feet in front of me. Like I remember my vision being framed by blood dripping like a rainstorm from a cloud. Needless to say, it didn’t survive. I remember my dad using the hose to spray all the blood off the cement. I saw lots of dead pets over the years… Between all the wild animals and the back road that everyone sped on, most pets had short lifespans.
Anyway, I grew up through a lot of other fucked up stuff… And people wonder why I’m weird. And if you don’t want morbid answers, don’t ask morbid questions.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI NightmareEnglish3·1 year agoI’d go for Jellyfin over Plex myself.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•God of War Ragnarök will require a PSN account to play on PCEnglish1·1 year agojust a couple of years… yeah…
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PCEnglish4·1 year agoThere’s a dozen apps for it, but I wouldn’t trust them to do a perfect job. At a bare minimum, you’d probably need to keep said app up to date at all times, and it’d need to be one that runs in the background or runs on every boot or something.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blockingEnglish1·1 year agoI guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with adsEnglish2·1 year agoReply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn’t perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it’d have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don’t know why a “legit” TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which movies have aged like fine wine? (either in their message or cinematography)English51·1 year agoI don’t want to give anything away for people, so I’ll just say that I never really appreciated the climax/ending part. It was pretty good up until that. I actually couldn’t help but start laughing the first time I saw it, which I doubt was the intended reaction. Basically the movie turns into schlock.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with adsEnglish492·1 year agoNever connect your smart TV to the internet. Just don’t do it. Get a third party device or ideally use an old PC with an appropriate HTPC Linux distro or something.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Man who was almost sucked off plane among group suing Alaska and BoeingEnglish281·1 year agoI live near multiple major Boeing facilities and so a large percentage of the local population works there. Boeing, due to their hiring practices and sort of employee abuse and such, basically create (or attract) a creepy cult of weird psychotic narcissists, especially the white-collar workers. Not everyone that works there is like that, but the ones that work there for 20+ years almost always are. I have numerous relatives and know lots of other people who work there and they are all creepy, balding, extremely self-important and abusive people. Now other people may pipe in and say that they have a very different experience, but that’s been mine. Oh, and they all want everyone they come across to know that they work at Boeing. It’s a core part of their identity. They are desperate to impress everyone.
My most recent experience with long-term Boeing employees was my psychopath uncle-in-law seemingly tried to murder his wife when she decided to divorce him after 20 years of abuse, mostly because it would have looked bad at work and made it harder for him to make “executive”.
Honestly I relish in the lowering status of Boeing and its employees. It’s been a long time coming. They make some shitty jets these days, they have shitty business practices, there’s something clearly wrong with their corporate culture, and their cult of creeps have been a pain in everyone else’s asses for many years.
I guess that’s all a long way of saying that Boeing probably doesn’t even have to hire anyone to kill whistleblowers. I would not be shocked if a “good employee” took it upon themselves to do it.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was a book so good that you have ReRead it?English1·1 year agoIt’s even more fun if you read the entire Asimov book catalog that’s set in the same universe as Foundation using the in-universe chronological order… unless you meant that’s what you did. That’s broadly “I, Robot”, the Robots series, the Empire Series, and the Foundation series. I’m sure some people don’t like his later books that tie it all together, but most of them are probably elderly and read the original series before the newer ones were published or something.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•From luxury bunkers to tactical vehicles, the ultra-rich are preparing for the Big OneEnglish112·1 year agoUnless they kill the people that build them, there will be plenty of people who know about these places. If we get the point of actually needing bunkers those people (who know the ins and outs of the bunkers) will want in. Nobody will protect the rich who had them built, because their money and influence will become worthless and nobody actually likes them. At best, they will live a miserable, lonely existence until they die. At worst, they will be torn apart by the masses.
If the world ends, I want to die with everyone else.
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•What are some good games with *zero* replayability?English3·1 year agoYeah I played S&M and Full Throttle probably once every couple months when I was a kid… how else can you recite every scene from the entire game?
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a story were the main villain actually turned out to be the good guy?English2·1 year agoOof that was a hard one to watch sometimes
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Nowadays, which band, musician or music give you goosebumps or made you cry?English2·1 year agoQuite a few… First that comes to mind is Skinshape - I didn’t know. Also Tame Impala has a few, like Feels like we only go backwards
Not sure how far back we can go…
mortrek@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Nowadays, which band, musician or music give you goosebumps or made you cry?English3·1 year agoI’d include her time with Zero 7 if you aren’t.
This reminds me of the Breakbot “My Toy” music video…
Trickhay on YouTube… Learned about him when he posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a singer for his music. He’s become an inside joke for my SO and I. I think my favorite is “hoop dance”.
