  • While i do think people are exaggerating that google is useless, and the kagi push on lemmy is suspiciously strong, I do still hate what google has become. It lies to me almost every time I ask it what movie an actor has been in.

    google claims Alan Tudyk is in Andor when he isn’t. There are one or two articles of people suggesting that he might end up in Andor, but nothing official. Google pulls from the rumors and says “yep, he’s clearly in Andor”. The way i search this is by typing just an actors name then clicking the “movies and tv” option.

    google search

    imdb for andor

    imdb for alan tudyk

    I refuse to pay for a search engine. DDG is alright, not great, but at least it doesnt lie to me.




  • Beef, The Last of Us, The Bear, Platonic, and Shrinking were all fantastic. For new season of older shows, Reservation Dogs, Barry, Marvelous Mrs Maisel, and Invincible. Good year for tv.

    I tried Loki season 2 but fell off after a couple episodes, it just couldn’t keep my attention. In general, new shows related to existing IP are disappointing (Marvel and Star Wars mainly). I want to see more unique stories, I’m tired of seeing the same old things rehashed with slightly different characters. I need to watch the new season of Doom Patrol though, it is one of my exceptions to my superhero fatigue (along with Invincible and Spiderverse movies).




  • The devs said this rollout may take up to a week to work out the major issues, then they expect it to resolve. Hopefully your app catches up soon, and the deployment of 0.19 goes well! I don’t have a lemmy.ml account so I can’t check, but the app I use (voyager) says it is ready for the 0.19 update and theoretically shouldn’t break.












  • I didn’t exactly need the ending explained, but Everything Everywhere All At Once has so much going on that I got really hyper focused on looking up commentary for everything in the movie. There were a lot of things I missed so I found it really valuable beyond just wanting to deep dive every little detail haha.

    Surprisingly, after all the hype of Interstellar being incredibly confusing, I felt like I missed something because it seemed fairly straightforward (not the plot, which was obviously convoluted, just that I understood the ending). Then I looked up explanations of the ending and they fit my interpretation so that was a bit anticlimactic lol
