You think this is old? Where are the stone tablets with chisels? Kids the days...

Too many vegetables? No such thing. Just means it isn't traditional but I'm sure it's still delish!

I feel like it also put heavy emphasis on being fun first compared to previous films, but yeah it's still the same Marvel style of humor.

If anyone finds this, the solution I ended up going with was to just make it a part of a startup bash script and put it in the file system of the ISO so it runs on login for every user. Couldn't figure out how to put it in the preseed.

Same guy here. Looked it up and no. My info was out of date.

Only if you think the ending is a good one for Neman. I think it's a bad ending, where he gives in fully to self-abuse and abandons his crush, and even his dad to some extent, so he can keep forcing himself to try and be #1. The message, to me, is that it's a stupid way to live and totally not worth it.

What?? That movie has everything, it's like the perfect movie. This is the only answer that has left me genuinely confused.

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hard agree. Just generic sci-fi with obvious themes and plot.

I liked Oppenheimer because I found the man compelling, plus the cinematography and pace really complimented the drama of his life in a way that kept me engaged. I think one's enjoyment of the movie really comes down to if they find the decisions he made interesting or dramatic enough to be worth watching for 3 hours. If you find that boring then there's nothing really there to enjoy.

Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can't name a single female character who isn't a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn't land for me, mostly because it's so surreal that I can't get invested in the characters as actual people.

The Big Lebowski has a very specific style of humor and if you don't appreciate it for that, then there's not really anything left lol. The plot meanders around aimlessly as a joke and then the film just ends abruptly with almost no real satisfying resolution.

I mean... It's not high art, it's just effective at being stupid and fun. It's not really trying to be traditionally "good" and I think that's why people liked it.

 

I’m working on a custom Linux Mint ISO (using Cubic) for a dedicated system with auto-login. I’m trying to automate Vino (VNC server) setup during installation using preseed, but I’m running into two issues:

  1. Changing Vino settings in preseed commands

I need to set org.gnome.Vino authentication-methods to ['vnc'] for the autologin user. I’ve tried variations of:

in-target su -c "gsettings set org.gnome.Vino authentication-methods \"['vnc']\"" username

But the setting doesn’t persist. I’ve also tested in-target sh -c and direct gsettings calls without luck.

What’s the correct way to apply gsettings changes for a specific user during preseed?

  1. Autostarting Vino Server

I need /usr/lib/vino/vino-server to start automatically after login. Since this is an auto-login system, I’d prefer a method that:

  • Works via preseed (e.g., adding to startup apps).
  • Can be toggled later via Cinnamon’s startup settings (if possible).

What’s the best way to set this up? .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/? Or another approach? Preferably, it would be more easily configurable in userspace, but if this is the only option then I understand.

 

I think maybe because they had a command with su but I have no way of knowing. Seems extremely stupid that you can be banned for posting Linux commands to a Linux subreddit.

 
 

I'm procrastinating at work and installing random packages with CLI that are just fun to mess with. Recently I've been looking up all my co-workers with Sherlock, just for fun. Does anyone else have CLI stuff that they like to screw with when they're bored?

 

I took this at Muskallonge State Park in Michigan. It's the only place within a few hundred miles of my house that's Bortle class 1, meaning zero light pollution. It was fantastic and I absolutely want to go back sometime.

 

Thinking about this because of a greentext I saw earlier complaining about OF models.

It feels like a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn't have monetary value.

Not to say anything about the economic validity of a society without currency, but I think that, hypothetically, if that were to exist, sex work would be less stigmatized since this would no longer be a factor. Those engaged in sex work would be more likely to be seen as doing it because it's something they are good at/enjoy, and less because it's an "easy" way to make money, as some think. It would also eliminate the fear of placing set value on social, non sex-work related intimacy (not that those fears were well-founded to begin with).

 

Found this in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky on a road trip.

 

I've been having pre-carpal tunnel symptoms lately and I really want to switch to a vertical mouse, but I've heard from a lot of people that they just don't have the same sensory quality that you get with a traditional mid-high end gaming mouse. This would be an issue for me since constantly do quick flicks and don't think I can just tollerate an inferior sensor. Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing, and if so do you have any good recommendations?
