This is only from Victoria, it doesn't mean necessarily mean that your local candidate or branch is the same (depending on where you live). Fusion is a micro party that attracts a very wide range of people, so I don't think painting them all with the same brush is a particularly smart or helpful thing to do.

Recently, it’s been listening to audiobooks while sharpening all my kitchen knives.

This sounds so ominous lol

Everyone bases their opinion off that one out-of-context tweet, but if you actually take the time to evaluate the context you'll find it's extremely unlikely that Andy Yen (Proton CEO) is a "Trump supporter". At worst, he is a rationalist who wants to continue Proton's work with the US administration regardless of who is president, rather than having a tantrum and trying to virtue signal boycott and achieve nothing for 4+ years. Unfortunately a lot of people on the left would rather circlejerk in their online cope chambers like Lemmy and Bluesky rather than actually engage with reality.

If I really couldn't find something and I was really that desperate, I'd just try to buy it somewhere. Assuming it's also difficult to buy, I'd be looking at online marketplaces and op shops. If pirates are going to keep hiding behind the "piracy is a service problem" line then at some point they do need to admit that paying for the product is actually the more sensible and straightforward option if they have reached a deadend elsewhere.

I bring this point up because, as toxic as incel culture is, I rarely see it tied back to the shitty economy. Just people pointing fingers at each other as though the Male Loneliness phenomenon were entirely the result of people’s personalities.

Because it is. Women aren't magically getting rich while all the men go bankrupt. Thinking you are lonely because you are poor is a cope fantasy that is 100% due to some kind of personality flaw you are harbouring.

and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won’t be maintained for much longer.

Possibly true, but abandoning ship is only bringing us closer to that timeline. People seem to be completely ignorant/delusional about how much work these forks will require to maintain if Mozilla's full time employees stop working on Firefox. If you have a practical reason to use another fork (like maybe a feature Firefox doesn't have) then I totally understand using that instead, but if you are simply making some kind of ethical protest change like all the new LibreWolf users who are so loudly virtue signalling at the moment then you need to think seriously about whether this course of action will ultimately end up hurting your ideals. Mozilla definitely has a big communication problem and I understand the desire to distance oneself from an organisation that repeatedly disrespects its supporters and never learns from its mistakes, as it is very fatiguing to endure their constant failures and the massive fall-outs from them, but ultimately I feel like switching away from Firefox is still an emotional decision rather than a rational one.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the AI upscales mentioned, but AI did a lot more than just "making it a larger resolution". It fundamentally altered and degraded certain visual aspects of the films.

I'd like to watch this and Annihilation again. I've only seen each of them once, both around the same time, and my memories of them are pretty fuzzy at this stage.

Here's a non-AI generated version of this story back from 2010 when it was actually news.

This is the type of list someone you meet at a party who "loves movies" would give you.
