If you know anyone who is planning on not voting because ‘it won’t make a difference’, explain to them how public funds are allocated to opposition parties (so-called Short money). £42.82 for every 200 votes gained by the party. More than 20p per vote. Per year. Every vote counts!
Edit: Don’t just favourite this, boost it. People need to know!
If you're in the UK and eligable, GO VOTE today! Get to your local polling station before 10pm, go go go!!
(I have voted today myself, for the Green Party. :D)
*time, even
Could you believe I wrote that on my laptop and not my phone? xD
Also yes, I'm alive, haha. Time's gone by mega-fast since I decided to use this place more.
Shout-out to @batbeeps, who after nearly 20 years of knowing I got to hang out with in a big city recently and had a wonderful tume. <3
Alright, so people using Samsung smartphones...if I were to download One UI 6.1, how...do I completely turn off the AI stuff?
I'm not finding easy answers to this and I'm not exactly thrilled to be injecting this slop into my phone. (And please understand that not everybody wants it when answering, thanks.)
Curzon dropped the ball *hard* with "Robot Dreams". So much for "ambitious awards and theatrical release campaign".
- No nominations at the BAFTAs.
- No screenings at Cineworld.
- Odeon only has the film in venues at major cities.
"Robot Dreams" is an incredibly special kind of film that deserves to be in the spotlight. But it didn't win against a "legacy compensation" win at the Oscars, so it will live as a footnote.
This film deserves better. See it if you can. https://boxd.it/4XQUUB
So, as part of the 2023 London Film Festival, I saw this on the same day as the much-hyped new Hayao Miyazaki movie. One of these films is what I consider a potential future classic. A film that opens wide what animation AND film can both do in ways that felt especially unique to this film even if an exceptional sythesis of the history of animation AND film even at their earliest origins. A film that deserves to reach the widest possible audience possible. The other film was that Hayao Miyazaki movie I mentioned earlier. Yes indeed, "Robot Dreams" really
Just in case, anybody have any suggestions for good services that allow cross-posting with Bluesky and Mastodon?
Absolutely nothing involving AI please, if that's okay.
WELL, let's try this again. @.@;;
I've been getting used to using Bluesky as my default but I know some folk are sticking with Mastodon as their's. I *do* think Mastodon and stuff like it IS the best way to answer "How to do Twitter/social media better" and I feel silly that I've abandoned it...
...so hello, I'm going to try and be here for good this time. xD Wish me luck that this time that holds true.
