Well, how did they do it in 90s-2010s? Genuinely asking. What's changed that they can no longer do this.

I've heard that Factorio did that for a bit
- Pictures: On a folder on a server I syncthing to. I don't really look at them. I used to have NextCloud for browsing them, but it was slow. I might give Immich a try
- Music: Youtube and the songs in my head. Sad, but it's true. I have a large collection I rarely look at. I also have a rockbox I sometimes pick up and play to rejig my tastes.
- Movies/Tv shows: Kimcartoon was main goto for cartoons, but it's down now. I use other sites. Movies, usually I find some recommendation on Lemmy and then I go find a nice DCC on an irc server somewhere with irssi. I had JellyFin for a bit, but I just don't watch movies or series that often.
- Backups: Some in the cloud. Rest in a big old hard drive. Plug it in once a year, update and tidy it up. Power down, back into cold storage.
Yeah I agree with you there. I'd say the OS should at least cache some of that to swap after X minutes of activity in preparation of a full suspend, but yeah in principle the memory shouldn't change.
It should at least use less CPU. What work could it be doing other than playing the music?
The initial reaction was good, but through later interaction with the artist it became clear that it was a one off thing, unrelated to the canon of the series, and unrelated to anything happening in his life. His overall hostility to questions about it turned people to the idea that he did it to steal undeserved pathos from his audience. Thus, he became a clown.
Ooh, name me some please!
I like people in small snippets. A whole day with someone I deeply love and care about can be actual torture for me. But having a short snippet in the morning, and then 6 hours in the evening? Perfect for me.

You want a piece of my heart?
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show?
Come on, baby, let's go!
With Barbarian it was just seeing the WKUKisms that I've grown accustomed to take life in a whole new genre - it was disconcertingly familiar and horrifically new at the same time!
Deadspace is a great description of Pandorum, but I'd argue that Pandorum has a far better story filled more with what people do when burdened by unwanted knowledge, rather than what people do when they are no longer themselves
Big slow breakfast. Do one very small thing (e.g. fix the bed). Tick that box. See how you feel. If it motivates you, try ticking another box. If that doesn't take, find the nearest sofa.
I agree, I was just demonstrating that you could have a tiny chip packed full of features as well as optimized sleep states to really save on power, and it still runs out of power on the same scale as a smartphone, due to the sole reason that it's not actually allowed to go to sleep and still function as a watch.
Most get around this by not displaying the time unless you shake the watch awake (which I find hilarious), or running at extremely low clock-rates in which case the latency in user-interaction suffers.
Agreed. SQFMI's Watchy powered by the fantastic ESP32 seemed promising, but despite having a full bluetooth/wifi stack is very limited in other features.
