@SirRevCyberTrucker Not sure if that's parental controls - but maybe they have limited access?

So for example if you can't add the Jitsi app on to the TV then I would accept.

But if they are clever enough to use what you've mentioned then a new app or new url might not be too hard as a shortcut somewhere...

@SirRevCyberTrucker To stream audio and video anytime use software.

Examples of that software are below, up and running, free / no extra account needed:

1/ The Internet Phonebooth !
theinternetphonebooth.com/

2/ Trom Call [Also a Jitsi instance]
call.trom.tf/
user/pass = 'tromcall'

3/ Jitsi Meet, does needs email by at least one user:
meet.jit.si/

Let me know if any probs...

Using a tragedy to push through draconian powers. A classic.

Advocating for civil rights mainly through the lens of crime prevention is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen and provides meat for the conspiracy theorists to chew on.

If you've seen them, I think you'll know what I mean, I might write about them sometime.

#American filing their taxes - How do you solve giving money to Government AND *hoping* they don't spend it on #war? 

filing their taxes right now makes me think of them collectively pouring huge pots of gold towards more and heavy ammunition...

❓ How do you solve giving money to Government and *hoping* they don't spend it on ⁉️


We're all invasive to some level? or "They're all invasive to some level"... 

@freemo But this again might be just a timeline thing and considering evolution progresses we might need to accept diversity (just it's more better and fun for us with some moderation and control) and so we could welcome it / figure to live with both (which is maybe what you're saying also).

The perspective of native / non-native seems a bit of a human perspective and binary / slightly discriminatory as it's all evolving and maybe surely we can't keep it all native unless everything is staying more static 'over there' and 'not here'...

Don't want to take to extreme but I hope it's not unfair comparison to imagine people in same way and if 'in theory' we or those elements could be educated / moderated then less fascism 'could' exist but then again it does seem 'them or us' in this example... Maybe should stick to / non-native but it rings strongly of and non-indigenous with world is changing, which is no doubt going to happen either way it seems...

enshitification or more the "same-old" re-branding / up-selling of the original crap! 

@koteisaev Usually more expensive you have to really look at and see it's not just another badge put on generic glasses (I was looking at Ray Ban my friend had and totally was just generic glasses almost what you get from cinema with nice-ish badge)... So it's the same as it always was (maybe just more) but there is like 5 factories of source and then extensions are rebranding / remixing of parts.
It's probably not even as clever as ( @pluralistic) and more the "same-old" re-branding / up-selling of the original crap!

@robb About your links. Would you consider using privacy links to send to the many?

filters tracking and adverts (same link exactly but code cleaned before loading page)...

Let me know if not really able/willing so I know you got this at least. Thanks.

We're all invasive to some level? or "They're all invasive to some level"... 

@freemo Isn't it kind of that "We're all invasive to some level" or "They're / Animals are all invasive to some level" - even on a slider as measurement, just working with each other seems the solution and key to it all... and then letting things die or not...

It's a fine line and "Stop trying to save invasive species!" could be taken in many ways in other scenarios.... but yeah I was imagining the "saving capitalistic people or not" as another scenario... let them die? Maybe!

(just don't know the answer to these things of saving what is nature / and then what might look bad even though Capitalist people are surely more x than y as damage / carelessness / uncaring behaviour)

If you expect someone to summarize themself in a sentence you're doing it the shallow way.

People in Power wouldn't change it for the good, even if they could.... 

Imagine that you can't always change industry for the better - because the controlling parts of hierarchy don't want it that way round.

We (you) have to grow out and over what they offer us because they are always traps / sneaky profit / misleading THEIR creations - and we start to grow something new for ourselves and less theirs as possessions owning our digital lives, which they take away from us any time.

Picture is deliberately of bacteria "Culture" - but growing ideas of the mind not just more immature physical babies .

Film Reviews for "I’m Thinking of Ending Things" 

Film Review Best bits for:

"I’m Thinking of Ending Things"

- "I liked the film's dreamlike insanity and symbolism,..."

- "Kaufman once again proves he's a master of the subconscious and all of its abstract intricacies."

and the title for multiple reasons.

⚠️ Haven't watched this btw but I liked these 2 reviews - that are in full below


===================
Metin gave it ★★★½

"Kaufman is a very original, unconventional filmmaker, which is admirable. I'd describe I'm Thinking of Ending Things as what would be born if Lynch and Fellini would get hammered in a late night bar and create a script together. A fascinating film with plenty of poetic, often dark-toned food for thought, but it also has muddled moments of intellectual rambling.
I liked the film's dreamlike insanity and symbolism, but it did leave me somewhat unsatisfied in the end."

review by gal pacino ★★★★½ 58

while iain reid's novel extracts horror from blood and dread, charlie kaufman's interpretation extracts it from existentialism, from the unavoidability of aging, from the unease of being perceived, from the eeriness permeating the claustrophobic atmosphere. they both tell the same story in completely different ways, which is exactly what a book-to-film adaptation should aim to do.

in the book, there's a fascinating passage about how humans need allegory and metaphor in order to more comprehensively understand the world around us. this is the most central idea of the film, i think: our tendency to tell ourselves stories in order to live (a personal fav sub-genre of mine, thank you joan didion). especially as it seems to function as an unexpected reckoning of film history, with lengthy homages to golden-age musicals and parodies of contemporary cheesy studio dramas -- a character even directly quotes pauline kael's controversial review of A Woman Under the Influence during a conversation about cassavetes (🥰).

here, kaufman once again proves he's a master of the subconscious and all of its abstract intricacies. "you can't fake a thought." our thoughts silently exhibit us at our most authentic, most private, most vulnerable. the only other people who have access to our psyches are generally our partners, and even they can't see it all. we can choose to find either terror or comfort in that. or, we can sequester ourselves by idealizing strangers so we don't have to form real connections and risk heartbreak! but i suppose that's just choosing terror.

Transparency, we don't have it and #compartmentalised people and paid #departments in #Capitalism = we don't know if half these things said are true / even exist / don't exist 

Transparency, we don't have it,
Therefore, Truth also with it.

The reality is nobody in power is transparent or rewarded to be transparent and it's too complicated even for them...

One big spaghetti dish for profit...

Systematically we don't know if half these things said are true or even exist / don't exist.

Cameras and film helps along with people speaking but they can be just layers on top still, nowhere near the real truth.

Capitalism uses distance to cover things up or distance people.

The underlying layer is "I don't know / I never saw it personally / I'm just paid in this job and department to push this over there and that's basically it, No question."

This means each person or level has a lot of imagination of what is the reality since they are compartmentalised and their own idea of a structure / reality is which is like a house of cards when everyone is compartmentalised...

Let's stop saying "we have a small sample size" when we mean "we don't have much data."

Want to see a "data-driven" leader stare at you blankly? Ask them, "Why didn't you use a random sample?"

Standardizing education is fine, unless we need graduates who can solve non-standard problems.
