plenty of pointed discourse forums out there. I agree that the search engines may be the problem. You have to know where to look.

‘Mickey 17’ Projected to Lose $75 Million in Theatrical Run by buliarous in c/movies@lemm.ee

[-] buliarous@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago

Unpopular opinion. I liked Mickey 17. It's a problematic movie mostly because the premise brings with it all these expectations about what the movie "should" be. The movie absolutely breaks all of those expectations with its almost slapstick comedic satire. Also Ruffalo does one hell of a great impersonation.

What options are there to watch YouTube on iOS? by buliarous in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] buliarous@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

There are definitely some privacy benefits I imagine, as you are not directly utilizing a user account and the YouTube UI. Now if you are asking if it is still possible for google or YouTube to track you the answer is yes, you are just making it slightly harder.

Just self host invidious or use an invidious instance that is maintained? My self hosted one works just fine

If I can't install Graphene, is Calyx still ok? by buliarous in c/privacy@lemmy.world

[-] buliarous@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

The thing I don’t get about these sorts of conversations is if your threat model is so great why are you using a cellular phone at all? Like I get it, I’ve used graphene and I like it but as my daily I’m iOS all the way. Why, you ask? Because at some point you have to realize you are sacrificing a ton in usability in order to gain privacy and security. If I really cared about security I’d install graphene, sure. But I probably would even put a SIM card in the damn thing.

What's the last horror movie you watched? Would you recommend it? by buliarous in c/Horror@lemmy.ca

Companion & The Substance (really good). Have my eye on a few Flying lotus films for next, especially Ash 2025 when it comes out.

Yeah this looks awesome. Like novel mix of "Event horizon", "pandorum" and "Alien". Hope it lives up.

If you like marvel movies, it could be considered better than that. Overall just was not very good -- It's too bad really. The twist sucked too. I didn't expect much going in though.

What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good? by buliarous in c/movies@lemm.ee

[-] buliarous@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah the only reason it could be considered “bad” is because they ran out of money and the entire 2nd half is just a montage of shots to end the movie because the producers took over.

Vintage Hondas are just so stunning. by buliarous in c/motorcycles@lemmy.world
