  • The amount of times I’ve told clients to change their SIM or not take their work phone abroad only to be ignored like usual, and get called on their return saying “what the hell!?” We notified them, but just like all MSPs (managed service providers) CEOs or important members will just ignore us or criticise our advice. Now he wants to blame his family who shouldn’t even have access as you mentioned. If it’s his mistake, he allowed it to happen with warning, and he gave this to a family member unsecured, surely he should be held entirely accountable?

    Nope. Politicians breaking all the rules we would get sacked for in an instant at work, or even arrested.

    Great standards for us lowly law abiding poor folk. An 11k phone bill would kill me; I guess my taxes will pay for his mistake then. I’m so confused how he doesn’t feel like he needs to pay that? I can’t figure out how in the fucking world what I’d need to say or do or think to avoid being responsible for that?

    It’s surely simple for him to figure out. Goes to show how warped morals are being protected here.



  • They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

    Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won’t need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it’s unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

    Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it’s on film, and even mentioned why it’s not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).







  • Do we have any user base statistics for the average age of users for Lemmy compared to the ever growing younger user base of Reddit? (Which isn’t necessarily always a bad thing, I love inclusiveness). I can’t recall being asked to put in my birthday/age when signing up. (I’m just being genuinely dumb, I would usually just look up this stuff myself but I have to rush this comment, sorry!)

    People don’t seem as flippant on Lemmy which is fortunate.

    I have generally had a better experience when it comes to interaction on here, but I do think there’s frequently degrading comments towards Reddit users, especially ones starting out and posting content directly from Reddit. I think it’s all usually well intentioned though, they’re looking for alternatives, and they wish to get involved and add content. Eventually Lemmy will become more self sufficient when it comes to unique comments or memes for example, but there’s a lot of growing pains to get there.
