Sure, it’s still better to NOT click Accept all once in a hurry.

But my browser does mitigate some of that.

I think my coworkers follow the bosses example here.

Yes, there is no support. No way of reflecting on how the work went or how to improve things. Everything is picked up while running. My coworkers seem to think that’s normal. That the challenge of the job is to literally survive it, day to day (we’re constantly short on personnel).

you might be fleeing a house on fire without knowing it.

I do know it.

Oh, and the most essential question of all to ask: why was this position open in the first place?

Parental leave.

But there’s another coworker who just got hired. They experienced the same lack of onboarding and managements unwillingness to commit. They are also leaving now. Her predecessor most certainly left because of what a shitshow that place is.

You clicked “Accept all” ONCE in a real hurry, huh?

This used to give me nightmares. Then I learned to love the bomb: Clean out everything each time you close your browser.

Santa technically has a red neck I guess.

wait what? It exists! Not going to link it. Just put a .com at the end. Says nothing about excel (or Microsoft), though the site looks horrible and has all the key-, tickle- and triggerwords that make me want to puke.

Contagion

I tried towards or slightly after the end of the pandemic and I just couldn’t take it, gave up after 10 minutes. Not because it’s a bad movie (I still don’t know) but because all that crap was still way too fresh in my mind.

tbf I was being facetious. Something something ThinkPad

You mean the Normal File Format?

edit: there’s an updated version of this where the only way to get at the document is to download it from the unofficial Whatsapp group.

You think they’re pleasuring themselves at their desktops?

Recently I watched a movie in a cinema (Vie privée; a well made murder mystery). Haven’t been for ages. It was almost empty; maybe a dozen people. Imagine my surprise when after the movie, the foyer was packed with people, mostly teenagers. I was so baffled that for a moment I didn’t even realize they were waiting for the next movie; anyhow, the ticket seller told me it’s “some cult movie” called Five Nights At Freddy’s 2. So, last night I watched Five Nights At Freddy’s. A fun and touching movie about 1980’s animatronics puppets, with some mild horror motives.

PS: yes, it’s part of a video game franchise. Surprisingly well made though.

And now about Vie privée, the latest Jodie Foster movie. It was a nice whodunnit with a strong psychological strain. I liked it well enough. All Paris, Jodie Foster talking mostly French with occasional American swearing. The ending was a little rushed, the resolution a little simplistic, but a nice watch somewhere between crime and drama.

First of all, most media players are streaming/network capable, they don’t even advertise it. Just feed it the URL.

You can even integrate user/password combos for http simple auth into a direct link. Not the safest; just to avoid people getting wind of a free radio station and overloading your server. Unless that’s you want, but then you should be aware of legal stuff.

On the server side, you can run your own radio station with something like Icecast. That’s its own topic.

If you want to choose what you listen to remotely, you are most likely looking at something Subsonic-compatible (apps exist). People say Navidrome is good. I am currently running jellyfin, it’s not subsonic compatible but apps exist, too.

There’s also one called “Developing In Production”

Sweet irony. Please, give this “man and woman” a medal. Love and kisses.

And I hope the police welcomed the DHS agent appropriately. Maybe put him in a cell, for his own safety of course. Until matters are resolved. Like, who actually assaulted who.

I can’t stop scrolling…

IMDB’s aren’t better. I had noticed at least one movie that had pretty bad ratings despite being pretty good - the only movie adaptation of a Carl Hiaasen novel, which does the novel full justice imho. I guess the haters were disappointed Demi Moore fans?

And it’s usually pretty predictable what sort of stuff gets the really high ratings; anything from 8.0 upwards has to be filtered for fandom.

Read the book. Seriously, Lem’s depictions of all things alien are orders of magnitude better than any movie - even modern CGI - can be. (I watched the Tarkovsky movie after reading the book and wasn’t impressed either)

This is usually where le pirate is more reliable. Thanks for the tip.

If a movie makes you forget about the bad shit in the world for a couple hours, it’s done its job. Let’s stop asking much more than that from movies.

Never underestimate entertainment value. All art is also always part entertainment. Never forget that.
