Oh it was very mutual for Disney and daft punk. People like myself have had Daft Punk albums since the early 90s. While everyone was asking who was under the helmets. We already knew. And had followed them since before they formed Daft Punk. But for your average lay person. Tron legacy is what really introduced them to daft punk and caused them to blow up even bigger. Not that they didn’t deserve it.

Legacy in the time it was made, had plenty of time to cook and get things just right. By all rights, Aries should have as well. But the Disney today is not that Disney.

From the little I’ve read they are doing this more as a semi reboot been a continuation. Which is a definite mistake in my estimation.

Yes. Any sort of automated scraping needs to be double checked. It’s generally fine. But for things behind distributor services like cloudflare Etc. The IP return is going to say more about the person connecting to it than the people behind it.

Quick addendum though. Cloud flare and AWS however are both in the United States if I’m not mistaken. And still vulnerable to being compromised by our fascist Administration. But the.world server itself is fine.

It’s your vote. And honestly, presidential elections are meaningless beyond keeping Republicans out currently.

I would much rather see AOC or Mamdami focus on helping to build other state legislatures up as allies. That would be the best way to actually get things done. So much effort is wasted on the presidency. And not spent in the legislature, which is where the fascists have gotten most of their victories from.

The addition of vulkan can’t be overstated. It blew several bottlenecks wide open. And I really need to get in to nodes. Lol but every new release brings newer better ones and I seem to keep falling further and further behind. Cgmatter is always showing off beta ones and I’m all like ooooh I can’t wait till that’s out. Then it is and the cycle starts again.

To them the facts never mattered. Just their feelings. So it’s plenty in script for them.

His career was all downhill from there LOL

LOL you guys just can’t help yourselves can you? I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until a right-wing American fascist supporter comes in here and whines about their freeze peaches being violated by .world because they couldn’t be Nazi enough. But as I said extremists all, and no one whose opinion should be valued much.

Yes only time will tell. They really should have stuck with it after the 2010s film. All the hype around it. Everything was primed for a sequel. But then they got cold feet and questioned themselves. Even SL was Awash in cybergoth/ Tron related things at the time.

Now without some of the cast coming back from what I heard. More than a decade after all the hype died down Etc. It’s definitely hard to get hyped for it.

Oh definitely. Not that Trent is inappropriate. But I think Disney is pulling him more for name recognition than anything else. Which in my view at least does not bode well for the film. Along with all the other bad omens. Disney’s been on a streak of horrible decisions. Which is sad to see. As the original Star Wars and Tron or some of the first movies I saw in theaters as a child. And some of my favorite.

Shit was he in that? Lol been a few to many years since I saw it last.

Lemmy.world is 100% hosted in Europe. Of course authoritarian groups left and right fantasize about it being hosted in the US for different reasons. Generally when their extreme views are moderated. However those groups also have a lot of control and resources to spread misinformation. Not to mention experience. So I don’t find it surprising that a lot of people don’t realize it’s not.

Yeah, Trent is fine. I’m not going to have a major objection to him. Though I was hoping that they would continue the vibe that daft punk put up. You’re not going to get any more fitting soundscape than something like they did. Then of course it’s a shame how Disney did daft punk.

Though honestly I was hoping they might pick up a few lesser-known artists. Dance with the dead, midnight danger, Carpenter Brut. I mean listen to this track and tell me you don’t hear light cycle race all over it.

And yeah I’m not sure what charm Jared Leto ever used to have. But at this point he’s kind of kiss of death for any project.

Oh yeah I definitely remember the Myspace days back in the early 2000s. Shortly after I got out of college. Myspace was a good place for promotion and discoverability. Even got some artists signed to larger labels. Anyone remember porcelain and the tramps? Sadly it didn’t work out well for them in the end.

Bandcamp though really seems to have done a lot to democratize publication and sales. No need to get signed. A lot of the newer artists I’ve found all have solid band camp sites. Or are only on band camp. Definitely a good move for red moon macabre in my estimation at least. Hopefully getting him more attention. I’d say it’s well deserved. I know myself and a couple of my Elder goth acquaintances have been enjoying it since I ran across it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I may have heard it earlier in my listing session. Though I was at work and not fully focused. Just kind of jamming as I worked. But I will definitely give it a solid listen here later

Yes the writing is a bit weak and perhaps kind of stilted at times? But it doesn’t ever Veer into incoherent AI gibberish. It’s unfortunate this day and age that we feel the need to question whether something is or isn’t. Even then use of AI is not always a bad thing.

I recently posted a video from La bande-son imaginaire. Which actually made a good use of some of the AI slop generated video. Providing a dreamlike nightmare Lovecraft / cthulin theming. Overall it seems like most people enjoyed it. But some of the very early response was knee jerk overreacting to the use of AI .

Red Moon to me definitely comes off as genuine. And I genuinely enjoyed it which is why I shared it. 😃 As well as listening to it all evening on YouTube music. It’s just a bit of a wild surprise when something like that, that quality and volume just sort of pops up out of nowhere. You would have thought you would have heard something of it before. But not everyone can know every artist or group. Discovery is some of the most fun you can have. Right next to sharing.

Yup. Ottowae/Wyandotte descendant here. When I was young I used to hear my grandmother mention “Indian school”. Always in passing and never elaborated on. As a child it was something I never thought much of. There’s all sorts of schools out there. Religious and otherwise. I assumed it reference schools run by or on the reservations. Heh, nope. She passed long before I understood or ever thought to ask unfortunately.

Oh absolutely. I’ve already run it for years with a mixed hodgepodge of zigbee Z-Wave and Wi-Fi devices. The problem is that many still phone home to somewhere. I definitely want to get everything down to matter and threads on my local ha as much as possible.

Was looking at good options the other day for a thread border router. My father was an ESP based option. Though not the ubiquitous cheat esp32s

Yes I didn’t find a ton of information out there even the artists website was a bit sparse with details. Though it looks like it’s a personal project that’s been around since the late nineties? It’s not impossible for it to be a ruse and perhaps all AI generated. Though I doubt it. Either way it has a decent sound I thought it was worth sharing.

Nice. I wasn’t aware. Was never really huge on GNR.

Push back would have unfortunately been performative. For decades national Democrats and their supporters have been hyperfocused on the presidency. Ceding many lower offices to Republican fascists without a fight. Democrats haven’t held a solid legislative/judicial majority in nearly 50 years. Republicans have. Which has allowed them to neuter and negate everything Democrats have tried. Which wasn’t much.

While I would have liked to have seen Obama speak out more. The fact that he would have only been speaking out with nothing being done wouldn’t have been that positive for them and cost them a lot of political Capital they could use for other things. And indeed, in 2028 if Democrats somehow managed to win the presidency again. Without having a solid control of the legislature etc. It will be the same as them not winning. They really need to start focusing on the state level heavily. And winning back areas they’ve long since given up on. Only then will they be able to do more than just bitch and whine.
