so say the "Avatar" movies
I'm a champion of the "#Avatar" movies
Some people don't like them because they're rather bland and their popularity seems to come with zero impact on culture or society
But there's plenty of other movies for impact
And the popcorn muncher's message is benign, when it could have easily been not-so-benign, so I therefore support the franchise
Also I'm a degenerate knee-jerk contrarian so I champion "Avatar" because so many are unimpressed 😶🌫️

It's like Liberace complaining about everyone calling him a "queer". He said it made him cry - all the way to the bank.

Or, you can just read Deathworld by Harry Harrison and marvel at how James Cameron barely bothers to hide his massive fucking thefts.

Now, it would be remiss of me to jump to any unfounded conclusions on his character but I do believe Cameron to be a fuckerie of a major raasklaat, dear boy.

Copyright protects the expression, not the plot. And screenplays, especially those crafted in Los Angeles, have always had a somewhat tenuous relationship with the adaptation rights, and carry deep expertise in avoiding infringement that can be proven at trial.

Yeah, I know blah Terminator blah Matrix blah Gravity bladi-blah.
Cameron puts Glen Larceny to shame (even though Larson definitely created original ideas ... sometimes).
@miguelpergamon Harrison did get some of his work legit-adapted into feature movies, and he's dead, so I'm not going to cry for him too much, just because Cameron might be robbing his tomb-treasures. Nor will I defend Cameron on artistic merits. I will salute his deep-water environment expertise, though. Whether he can make an original artwork or not, he does know how to dive, and that is more difficult than outer space.

True, but I have it on good authority that if a business is slow to respond to a market opportunity another, more nimble business will come along to take that opportunity. 10,000 Masters of Business can't be wrong. I'm sure if we wait another decade or two, a nimble competitor will arise.

@troy_frizzell Because that brings the money. Buy tiny cartridges that cost more than the whole printer. Why improve on something the shareholders are applauding?

I have a b&w and a color laser printer.
The first and last inkjet I ever used was a DeskJet 500 at work, and that was such an annoying experience I never bought an inkjet for myself.
I would buy a solid ink color printer if they still made them.
@RealGene
I use a laser printer at home, too.
My beef is more about the stagnation of that technology. I suspect that a post up thread has it right. This is probably more about barriers to entry by the existing crowd of bad actors in that space.

I'm looking for some recommendations for a thing. My 12-year-old niece has bad ADHD and can't really handle having a cellphone (she constantly loses or breaks them, or gets them confiscated by accidentally bringing them to school), so my sister is looking for a means of getting her a phone number that can receive texts and send them to her tablet or Chromebook over ordinary SMS. Does anyone know of something simple that exists?
EDIT: Thanks, I've forwarded a bunch of suggestions along!

Would you like boosts?
i obviously don’t like to recommend google for… anything… and i’ve been trying to find an alternative myself, but google voice still seemingly functions for this
as part of the lightphone's system my texts automatically get emailed to me (and I'm not sure it's all of them), but that's a sort of expensive solution? I think there are virtual numbers that will do what you want though, so someone around here must know...
@SRLevine That's also solving the opposite of what the actual problem is
I see the emails on my computer or tablet, even when I leave my phone at home by accident and I'm at work. The phone isn't a smart phone, it doesn't show me emails, it calls and receives text messages and light has a special system to manage the phone that includes the option to have your texts sent to an email address that isn't checked on the phone.
eta: I think it's an overly convoluted solution to your niece's problem, but it would work if you can't find a better one
This entry was edited (2 weeks ago)
@SRLevine The problem is the "having a phone" part of it, and if email were a workable alternative she'd already be using it.
Not sure whether I got it right when the first thing in my mind is Deltachat or Signal. You can send it from all modern devices and she can receive it on a tablet or laptop. Or is “text” strictly a GSM SMS?
@goetz Strictly an SMS yeah, the problem she has is that her friends only use SMS and since she is unable to keep a phone in her possession her friends all end up texting her mom instead, and her mom is getting super fed up with it.
Signal or Teams would work for this, I think..
For Signal you need to regularly sign-in with the phone (but it could be a cheap phone kept somewhere safe).
For Teams I don't think you'd need a phone at all, but I think you need a paid plan (microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-…)

@elduvelle Seconding Signal. Used by security professionals, syncs to desktop and tablets.
This isn't what I'm asking for. She needs to be able to text with her friends, who are also using plain ol' cellphones. Also she's not old enough to be eligible to use most software-based solutions for another year, due to remnants of COPPA and such.

Hmm.. So why wouldn't Signal work for this?
What about this app "text now"? If she has an Android tablet she should be able to install it on there. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it myself! And it seems they'd need to pay to get no ads
textnow.com/
play.google.com/store/apps/det…
(but also, she could ask her friends to install Signal and see if that works)

@cathos JMP.chat is good imo, I do use it myself some.
(Pretty much all of the issues I've had with it thus far are my own fault, from hosting my own Jabber server instead of using the one they offer.)
There's Android tablet compatible clients for Jabber (which is what JMP.chat bridges the phone number to) like Cheogram (the one recommended by JMP.chat), which does run on tablets and maybe on a Chromebook through its ability to run Android apps; I don't currently know of any more directly compatible with Chromebook options, but I can look.
There's also iOS tablet compatible options I believe but am less certain about.
(I don't know what kind of tablet, that was not specified.)
@cathos ah, that's reasonable.
I don't have any other recommendations myself, I don't know enough to give other recs and I chimed in because the one mentioned was something I already use.
I don't have any other recommendations myself, I don't know enough to give other recs and I chimed in because the one mentioned was something I already use.
Google Voice should work for that, honestly. I'm all for de-googling but it'd do the job for no out of pocket cost.
@neckspike As far as I can tell that's only available to Workspace users as an add-on to an existing Google Workspace? I don't see any way to sign up for it with just a regular gmail account.
oh that's wild, I've had a free number i use occasionally for many years it seems that's grandfathered. they used to let you sign up with a regular gmail account and you got one number free
actually I think you can still do it, they just really obscure it trying to get you to pay. If you try installing the Google Voice app there should be an option for "personal" use. Calls are either forwarded to another number or go to voice mail, but you can receive texts on the google voice number.
@neckspike Thanks, I'll suggest it to my sister.
she's trying to hang out with her friends who are all using SMS
It needs to be realtime and push-based, and provide an ordinary phone number that others can message from their ordinary phone numbers
signal is not relevant

does google still do the google voice thing? Actual number and sms that goes straight to app.
ok I've made a few suggestions to my sister and she can do the rest from here, thanks everyone!
I 2nd using #GoogleVoice.
I use it as a 2nd phone # for medical offices that insist on calling but won't or can't text me.
I also use itfor sites that require me to give them a phone # to use their site when I fon't want to give them my primary phone # but sine site recognize & rehect it as a virtual #, in which case I jtst don't use the site
You get a phone # that you can use to receive calls & send/receive texts via any device.
It also transcribes voice messages so that I don't have to answer any calls or listen to voicemail.

I believe many models of tablet do have a SIM card slot and are capable of doing SMS. I do not use one this way personally but a quick search shows lots of results.

the face says, "Don't ever think I don't know exactly what I'm doing".
My Paddy had the same look moments before launch... exploding tree followed... much kerfuffle... even more hysterical laughter!
Bless his ginger paws 😺
My wife sat there holding the tree up, proclaiming loudly that "it's okay, it can still hold her a bit higher up!"
It was a Christmas miracle that I didn't say "I told you so." lol

Tannenbaum auf dem Oszilloskop
Im XY-Modus auf einem analogen Oszilloskop wird über die Soundkarte eines Laptops ein stilisierter Tannenbaum ausgegeben; dieser rotiert und atmet etwas.

Mit welcher Software wurde das Signal erzeugt? Schöne Spielerei!
mit einem simplen Python-Code, der linear zwischen Stützstellen läuft und dann x/y als Stereo über die Soundkarte abspielt.
Kann ich ca. Samstag nochmal ausführlicher erklären.
Oh, ich und p* 🤣 dachte, es wäre "was einfaches" 🙈🙈🙈

ping en gif
@anthropy fuck u /lighthearted
alternatively if we want something ping-y it could be "PoNeGr" but I'm not sure it would be much better l3;
I wonder what webp is supposed to sound like .. -- oh my god it's supposed to be "weppy" 
Fuck it, it's "pengy" now.
if I had a nickel for every time image format specs were wrong about their own pronunciation I'd... have some kinda foreign currency which is weird

I don't really care how people pronounce GIF or PNG but I always find the "argument" about the G in GIF standing for "Graphics" absurd. If you were to spell it out you would say "Gee Eye Eff", not "Guh Eye Eff", too. The pronunciation of an acronym, likewise, is not dictated by the words that the letters stand for. You want so say "Ghif"? Fine. "Jif"? Be my guest. "Pee En Gee"? okay. "Ping"? Nice. You do you.

Use wrong addresses.
arti reshared this.
In what context?
@hellomiakoda I imagine a lot of them work
Forced to provide an address for an enemy of the fascist state? Provide the wrong address (be very careful with where you send them ofc)
Ordering supplies for a company that's participating in the horrors? Provide the wrong address (preferably similar enough to have been an accident)
Calling 911 about a fire? Probably provide the correct address for this one 😂
