Babylon5The CGI was done in 4:3 for budget reasons, so CGI and composite shots are only available in 4:3 (which then had to be cropped for 16:9 later on), which is why the CGI looks terrible. At least in the earlier seasons, afaik later on rights were acquired by some network that wanted 16:9 and so from that point forward CGI was also in 16:9

DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, SchweizKurzsichtig? Das ist doch ne investition in die Zukunft, damit man in 5-10 Jahren immer noch nachhaltig Politik gegen Migranten die sich ’nicht integrieren wollen’ machen kann…
Star Trek Social ClubI think there’s still a lot of room to explore without abandoning the utopia setting. like we usually only see the spaceship stuff, but what about a more political drama taking place on member worlds, that kind of thing, i think it could be amazing.
also, as you say, it’s been done for 60 years. Might as well do the same thing over again for a new generation that hasn’t seen tos/tng/ds9. They don’t know it yet, so it’s not overused, and the TOS audience wouldn’t be the target audience anyways. and could still explore new topics. the audience isn’t the same, our world isn’t the same, making the same show again would still not be boring as it be a completely different thing.
Both approaches can work imo and have a place, without the need to go more dystopia.
TechnologyPlus firefox mostly exists because google pays them, probably so there’s no anti-trust action against them.
ShowerthoughtsDon’t know about the second point, but on the first, there’s a online newspaper here that does it pretty well. It’s like 240$ a year, but with the option to pay however little/much you want.
the articles can be shared freely (no paywall, though i think since a year ago you need to enter your email to read, used to be completely free to share), but can’t be discovered/found unless you’re subscibed.
it’s split into two legal entities, the newspaper that employs the journalists and a second non-profit that actually collects the payments and that every subscriber is allowed to vote in, elect leadership for etc. that works out guidelines for the newspaper part to follow.
has been working pretty well for several years now and it’s one of the last few places of quality, independent journalism in my country
World NewsHow has china not been able to make it work? Or do you mean hardware specifically? Because with Google and Meta stuff banned, among others, I’d say they’ve gotten pretty far
Ah but don’t worry, there’s also skills for scanning skills for security risks, so all good /s
They also have a ‘skill’ sharing page (a skill is just a text document with instructions) and depending on config, the bot can search for and ‘install’ new skills on its own. and agyone can upload a skill. So supply chain attacks are an option, too.
So you’re saying i can’t just point behind him and shout ‘is that jesus’? Well, that changes things
Oh didn’t realize Catholicism has a Highlander thing going on. I can take a 70 year old guy, no problem!
That’s one series I wouldn’t mind a modern day reboot of.
I got mine from kultofathena.com 20 years ago for 40 bucks (though with fancier blade), but just checked and don’t think they sell it anymore.
You can have it if you want, it’s just laying in my basement.
The handle looks exactly like the one from the 40 Bucks one I got from Kult of Athena 20 years ago and is just laying in my basement. You’d think the pope would have something better/fancier.
Does this mean I can become pope now?
The fotos are nice, but it’s a bit uncritical, like this stuff just happened to the kids and that’s just the way of things, no deeper systemic side that should be examined.
I’m sorry, that came off very passive-aggressive, I really shouldn’t post at 3 am when I can sleep.
The whole dark ages, and golden ages thing is just very annoying, made up during the renaissance, in part as a useful tool to go “look how shit everything is, I will make it great and amazing like it was before”, still a favorite to use by populists (in reference to whatever time is most suitable) and it’s been repeated so much, it actually works, everyone kinda just accepted it. But then when you dig into it, the middle ages weren’t really worse in terms of invention/art/etc. than the renaissance, nor was there this big stagnation after the decline of the roman empire, and people always made art, new inventions and great achievements, along with cruelty, bloodshed and other awful things. But then this has been a relatively recent shift in historical research, so not that well known
In other news, dark ages are a myth disproven by science.
That’s not a new thing, i.e. already can happen and you don’t need AI for it to be a nightmare

Open SourceAfaik to poison AI data.
Of course if it’s only them doing it, it will be too little data to affect AI training. And if enough people do the same to affect the training, it’d just be the way we talk now and AI wouldn’t be affected either. So it’s pretty pointless, but with bad externalities (being annoying), much like AI…
Parent comment is also wrong, and as usual things are much more complicated than made out to be. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Country_on_Each_Side plus China essentially pressuring Taiwan into adhering to the status quo so as to not lose its casus belli.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world
I fucking hate the unquestioned assumption that speed and efficiency are always better and that everyone should strife for them. Maybe i like the process, maybe i like taking things slow and not rushing stuff, be that programming or art or whatever.
Plus in most cases, efficiency doesn’t reflect in your bottom line anyways, just the share holders, but we’ve been so brainwashed to see it as a virtue
