Hidden horror movie

Is there a movie where the horror is completely hidden in the details without any revelation? A movie that is only horror to those who repeat-watch it, pay extra close attention or simply give in to their paranoid doubts?

What are the best games that are not on big-name game stores like Steam, GoG, Epic, etc.?
  • I haven't played it in a long time, but I always enjoyed Super Tux Kart. It reminded me more of the Moorhuhn / Crazy Chicken Kart games than Mario Kart. In general, before Steam Proton made Gaming on Linux almost free of any hassle, I spent more time with free and open source games like Nethack or Battle for Wesnoth that are available in many Linux package managers.

  • What's something you grieved for "too long"?
  • It's not really grief. Thankfully in my young life, I've yet not lost anyone, close to me, beyond my own decisions. But it takes me seconds to let go of people without ever expressing how much they mean to me. Then it takes me years or forever to let go of the thoughts.

  • What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?
  • If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:

    • La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
    • Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
    • Altered Carbon: It's already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn't even bother watching the second one. It's also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
    • Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn't interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn't have been surprised.

    To people making shitty guides/tutorials.
  • To me in most cases it's the opposite. I don't watch video tutorials to solve a specific problem (sorry, Roal Van de Paar!), but to get into something. And therefore I prefer to see the problem solving in between and the workflow for that activity. If it really tends to waste my time, I just skip forward.

    The 9th Movie (2024)

    >Joel gathers his friends at a remote cabin to celebrate the completion of his latest feature film in his 12 features project.

    This movie is part of Joel Haver's challenge to create 12 feature films in 12 months. I just watched it now and I think it's the most relatable, yet insane and perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. So even if I might not feel the same way tomorrow, I have the urge to share it now.

    Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country?
  • I don't consider that promotion. Think from the perspective of the people who happily use US big corpo social media. When you're forced to consume B, because A is banned, you're likely not giving B a fair chance, even if it would have otherwise convinced you.

    (Obviously you must still enforce rules and ban the platforms that don't abide.)

  • Any nushell users out there? Is it worth learning and using as my defualt shell?
  • I use it as the default shell only in my terminal (with fish completion). You still have to deal with breaking changes and inconsistency. On top of that, you need to wrap a lot of your commonly used commands and tools to take full advantage of it. But personally I consider it worth learning and using. Not only do I hate working with raw text, I also love the visual and interactive data representation. And working with existing tools is honestly not a huge problem. It's just what you'd usually do regularly. Obviously POSIX-compliant shells in combination with many tools like jq, too are already capable of nushell's power. But I just like to have it included in the shell language, so I can work with the data more casual.

    I couldn't tell you why you'd use it instead of Powershell. I just never tried Powershell on Linux.

  • 50 years after Basic, most users still can't or won't program anything
  • Why should they? Less users are programming anything, but more people have become users of computers in the first place. And we have more users of computers, precisely because the levels of abstraction do not require the ordinary user to program anything. Today's ordinary user is more "ordinary" than fifty years ago. This development of making a tool or subject more accessible to the layman, by hiding the complexities with abstractions and yet allowing more skilled users to gain advantages by peeling away the abstractions, is present in many different fields throughout the history of mankind.

    If you look closely, it is not really surprising. Not even a problem at all. In fact, if you have the simple understanding that maybe somebody doesn't want to program, not because they are a stupid idiot or a lazy normie consumer, but because they simply don't give a shit about it, follow other interests and can contribute to the world with other skills, then the observation that most users are not programming anything, is insanely unproblematic.

  • Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge

    After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

    Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.

    Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

    Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.

    What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.

    Fiction with recursive loop

    Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.

    • story A -> story B
    • story B -> story C
    • story C -> story A

    Thanks in advance for any help!
