They are both terrific movies bit quite different I'd say. TTSS is much more about the intrigue/double-crossing/spy stuff, whereas The Lives of Others is more of a character study.

As an aside, the BBC series of TTSS with Alec Guiness is still the best and any fan of the movie/book who hasn't seen it should remedy that ASAP.

God I love Brick. Watched it countless times growing up and don't see it talked about enough online.

Exactly. Modern Windows is like Tesla - shiny exterior built on top of garbage cobbled together with paperclips and duct tape. No visible knobs, no easy to access features, everything hidden behind layers of needless menus and abstraction with the express goal to extract maximum value from their 'customers'.

I'm not an Apple fanboy by any means but I feel like the two ecosystems are much closer now than they were 10-15 years ago.

This has been a thing on British-speaking dating app profiles for at least 10 years to the point that I absolutely hate it now.

I use JS and TS semi-regularly and got 5/28 🤡

Regular psylocibin usage helps me maintain perspective a lot.

Time Enough for Love was my favourite book as a young man. Tried re-reading it recently and really struggled. I feel like the last 20 years of social progress has really dated Heinlein's language especially (less so his ideas). Was a shame.

Joker 2 Electric Boogaloo. I thought it was well made, thought provoking, and a good critique of all the chuds who idolised the first film for the wrong reasons.

The Alters just released, is AA, weird, and very good! Indies are definitely the home for weird experimental shit but I feel like there are going to be more strange, niche games being made for larger budgets as the AAA space splinters and devours itself.
