Is it just me, or does crime documentaries have a biased "pro-cop" vibe to it?
  • There has been a fair amount of analysis of the social role of 'true crime' as a genre. To boil it way, way down, it's about creating a representation of human evil to let people feel essentially righteous. It is peak centrism, uplifting the status quo by placing it as opposition to the unquestionedly heinous, and with it, current structures, like cops as law enforcement.

  • Bots everywhere or am I losing it?
  • Dead internet theory is not just a hypothesis anymore. It's an intentional business model. Enjoy what's left of online human interaction. Soon, it will all be just LLMs siloing each user individually.

  • Micro-retirement
  • I have to wonder if this neologism comes from something like either their parents not taking any vacations and so they never got the examples ('Wait, you spend time with your kids?') or from a cultural aversion to taking time off for oneself. ('Taking time off? Sounds like someone's not really committed to the success of the company.')

  • Do you think it would be more cool if society kept using tech like telephones (the non-"smart" type), pagers, telegraphs, and radios, instead of the internet?
  • I heard a discussion of the concept of an RPG setting where the world never made the jump to digital. The idea was to explore that alternative now based on a changed history. It included the idea of aliens that we'd only meet by having developed new technologies in the analog space, sapient, benevolent AI that only exist because of some different interpretation of intelligence in an analog space, etc.

  • Any way to force keep alarm volume at 100%?
  • Automate

    Not a complex thread either

    Flow beginning>audio volume?(proceed: when changed, audio stream: alarm)>audio volume set(100%)>back up to audio volume?

    Not rooted means you'd have to start automate after a reboot but otherwise no effort.

  • [PC?][2019ish?]a game in a ship being overgrown by flesh.

    A coworker showed me a trailer some years back. It was first person view, maybe horror, sci-fi setting like a ship/space station with flesh the colour and texture of an eye socket growing over everything. There were other elements modeled after body parts, like bones, teeth, intestines, etc.
