X is out on blu-ray in Europe! I saw this film in the cinema and it was amazing.
It's getting to be quite a collection...
#XMovie #JennaOrtega
me: how do I use product x?
google: buy product x here!
or here!
get x cheap!
five ways to buy x
other people search for 'where can I buy x'
*pages and pages more like that*
me: but I already have product x, I just want to find information about using it...
Google has become impossible to use as a search engine, which is unfortunate since it is a search engine.

I think Ella Al-Shamahi is the real-life Indiana Jones. The below photo is not really an illustration of that fact, just an interesting picture of her, though I did think of captioning it "Real-life Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur".
The photo shows Ella in Cambodia with a bird that is more than half her size (and she's not short) playfully biting her finger. The bird is a Great Hornbill.

The bird is not in captivity and free to leave the sanctuary it's in. Though it seems like paying football too much to do so. Yes, football. Watch in this amazing video Ella posted on her Instagram: instagram.com/tv/CXWVFNwDrfU/
(I may edit this post later too include the video, for now it's over my own upload limit)
People in the UK are in luck, a documentary series presented by her starts on Channel 4 tomorrow. This channel is blocked outside the UK, but apparently us in the rest of the world get this documentary series later this year. It's about the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb and the curse-myth that followed.

Still feels weird to realise that the Commodore 64 was named after its 64kB of memory. Kilobytes, not MB or GB. Or 64 bits...
And of those 64 kilobytes, 32 kB were switched off by default and its address space used for the I/O chips. Because who needs that much memory?
There were businesses that ran their whole admin on one Commodore 64.

Reading up on something and apparently I can set any locale as the default locale for a cloud instance, provided I choose "C" since that is the only one that works. Also, for ssh connections it by default uses any locale specified by the client, provided it specifies "C" since that's all that it has.
(Free from Blackadder's "last meal" scene, where the prisoner could choose any last meal, provided he chose sausages since sausages was the only thing the cook made)
(I see the info about dpkg-reconfigure locales
to install extra locales, but that is manual and only after a cloud instance has been instantiated. I was looking into what cloud-init
can do for me)

I'm clearly not keeping up with blogging about Jenna Ortega news because there is just so much of it. How can she do more things than I can write 'she did this thing'... Until I've caught up a quick overview:
- She stunned at the MET gala last month and with that attendance brought in much money for charity
- She stunned again at the MTV Movie & TV Awards yesterday, on the red carpet and on stage where she presented an award to Olivia Rodrigo
- She won at the MTV Movie & TV Awards for her performance in Scream
- Scream, X, Studio 666 are all out on digital and discs
- American Carnage, the film she made long ago (I think 2019), finally has a trailer out and has a release date set for next month
- Wednesday is coming in the Fall and will have a first look today
- She just finished filming the film Finestkind two days ago
- She will film Scream 6 this summer

Using the #Hyperspace frontend on Friendica looks reasonably ok. The notification screen even makes more sense, showing only actual notifications (instead of Friendica's 'someone you don't follow replied to another post in the thread than the one you favourited').
However, they don't seem to know all notification types, so when an rss post comes in you get this notification:

YouTube asked me to verify that I'm over 18 on my account forced upon me during the G+ days from said Google account (that way even older)
Yes, I get it, it's a legal requirement but still…

Most people agree that the war in Ukraine needs to stop. But there's a difference in what people mean when they say that. Some, including me, think that Russia should stop its aggression and withdraw to within its own borders. Others think Ukraine should just give up and let itself be overrun.
The people arguing things like the west prolonging the war, drawing out the conflict, etc are of the latter opinion.
Why are they wrong? Because Russia will just start the next war to invade the next country. As they've done before. In fact, there's already a treaty between Russia and Ukraine where the former solemnly swore to not invade. See what those promises are worth.

Russian oil: EU agrees compromise deal on banning imports
The latest round of EU-wide sanctions excludes pipeline oil imports after Hungary opposed a total ban.BBC News
Something you can take from a role model is the inspiration to know your passion and to have the drive to persue your passion.
But I must be careful not to focus on how far from that goal I am, which could be depressing. I sort of half know what my passions are or were, but I have so little energy which manifests in having so little time to do something with that. I used to love discovering new music and going on journeys through the songs I already had. Now even putting a cd in the player already feels like too much effort.

My technique for finding good films is to find a good actress and then see which films are smart enough to hire her, and which films she considers worthy of her time. I'm so happy to have found Jenna Ortega...
