movies@piefed.social•IMDb now requires an account to read user reviewsEnglish
8·2 days agoTmdb is a much nice experience than IMDb. Site loads way quicker, there’s no irrelevant articles and ads plastered all over every page, and not owned by billionaire ghouls. I hope it stays exactly the way it is for many years.

The Dragon Quest series has lots of comedic moments and dialogue, but its a very specific brand of a bit antiquated japanese humor that falls flat for some people.
Xenoblade 2 as well, especially in the cutscenes, and the dialogue delivered by the cutesey mascot “Nopon” race characters.

Whitey On The Moon by Gil Scott-Heron comes to mind. Planet is burning and they’re sending money to space.
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And whitey’s on the moon
I can’t pay no doctor bills
But whitey’s on the moon
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still
While whitey’s on the moon
The man just upped my rent last night
Cause whitey’s on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But whitey’s on the moon
I wonder why he’s upping me?
Cause whitey’s on the moon?
Well I was already giving him fifty a week
And now whitey’s on the moon
Taxes taking my whole damn check
Junkies making me a nervous wreck
The price of food is going up
And as if all that crap wasn’t enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arm began to swell
And whitey’s on the moon
Was all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon?
How come I ain’t got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey’s on the moon
Y’know I just 'bout had my fill
Of whitey on the moon
I think I’ll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To whitey on the moon
Vanced or ReVanced? I seem to remember Vanced being broken by an update some time after Google C&D’d the project, leading to the creation of ReVanced a while later But maybe I’m misremembering, as its been a few years.
I used to run YouTube Vanced on my phone for years until Google killed it a few years ago. Since I was already paying a monthly sub for YouTube Music (been using that since the Google Play Music days and had my whole iTunes uploaded there) I decided to spend the extra 1-2 bucks a month for the Youtube Music + YouTube Premium combination, since that seemed like less effort than keeping up with ReVanced builds constantly.
Last month I tried getting a student discount for my subscription, but after a day I got an email telling me Google was canceling my sub for an unspecified reason. I decided not to renew it, and instead downloaded ReVanced, and spent a few days redownloading all the albums I only had on streaming, and integrating those along with my old iTunes folder into my Jellyfin I already had set up for movies.
Now I’m saving 15 bucks a month, and have regained full control over my music library. Feels pretty nice, and the Symfonium music app on Android looks 10x better than the ever-changing UIs of YTM ever did.
Also feels great not to give a single cent to an accomplice to Israel’s genocidal mania across the middle east anymore. I had already severed ties with Google’s mail, photo storage and search a year or two ago. Get fucked Google.

News•Americans quit streaming services as cost of living continues to climb, report finds
4·12 days agoJust as a heads up, if you aren’t concerned about “copyright”/“intellectual property” the better way would be to download native h.265 rips instead of re-encoding your existing h.264 files, as those will look better since you aren’t compressing the already existing compression artifacts of your old files. Copy of a copy and all that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s a “life hack” that actually made your life worse?
6·1 month agoNever before have I felt so personally attacked.
I had a blast. Great music, beautiful world design, fun combat. Chinese voices recommended imo. No idea about the hardware part.






The picture is pretty self explanatory imo, its an ice cube box that makes proper ice cubes, comes with two trays so you can make a whole bunch at once, the box acts as convenient storage so you can prepare a ton of cubes ahead of time, and the lid works as a tool for getting all the cubes in a tray out at once, without having to press them individually like on some other solutions.
The picture showcasing the well thought out design was preferable to posting a link or naming a specific manufacturer, since its a generic design you can find on Aliexpress or other sites from various brands. It should be easy to find by just looking up “ice cube tray box” or something.
A picture gets the idea across more easily than describing the product I think, and leaves less room for interpretation.
