I mean, I’m kinda on their side with this. They majorly changed an iconic character who had a distinct appearance. Ariel is pretty much an icon of the 80’s kids back before the internet, so the public zeitgeist was a lot more common and shared, rather than fractured with a girth of media options like it is now. Everyone knew and had an image in their head of Ariel.
Normies don’t know who tilde Swinton’s character in dr strange is, especially before but even after the movies.
To point out such things online is racist, or being a weirdo who’s mad about a kids show. Yet here we all are, posting about it again.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?English
15·1 year agoIt’s been a long, long time since facebook has been like you are describing.
It’s been ads, and old uncle facebook fox news memes for a while. Lately they’ve been filling it with AI pictures and bot farmed memes. Gotta admit the memes have gotten slightly better, or at least slightly more targeted as of late.
Anyway, my point was, it’s been shit for a decade

161·1 year agoDo all the cool physical things you want to do now, like mountain climbing, martial arts, skiing whatever. You can still do all of that at 40 but it’s harder to find time and you’re much more injury prone.

Hearing from pooryoungmalegamerleftist#123049781234 saying the same thing as the others isn’t thought provoking or constructive. I’d like to see artists, WSB degenerates, football meatheads and everything in between in comments more because like it or not, those people are experts in Something

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI DealEnglish
25·1 year agoStill couldn’t get me to use it, I use DDG which can switch between search engines and search sites very quickly with it’s ! syntax (Everyone goes on about privacy, but this is pretty much it’s best feature). Google results are consistently the worst for me if I’m hitting multiple search engines

Technology@lemmy.world•CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticedEnglish
5511·1 year agoCompanies don’t really use Debian or Rocky in widescale production because they have no support.
Now red hat or ubuntu is a different matter.
Honestly though this does point out that this is a pattern of behavior on crowdstrikes part. This should have been the canary in the coalmine.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you know any mobile games that don't suck?
1·1 year agoI got really hooked on Armory and Machine, there is an A&M2 but I’ve never played it.
Its the kind of game that only has a mobile version, it rewards you for coming back to it like any bad mobile game, but there are no ads, nothing to buy, and I don’t think there is any data shared.
The premis is you are work on a machine, making it faster, better stronger, more automated, and more able to produce things. Things can be in turn, turned into items that let you travel and fight critters. The loot from the critters can be used to make your machine faster. Its all a vicious factorio-like loop, and show how fun these mobile mechanics can be when there is no company taking advantage of you.

No they’re just switching business models, from paying for an OS outright to OS as a service
I can’t speak to curling, but in chess the womens’ leagues are there to get women involved. There are no biological advantages at play. This is a 2000 year old game they were excluded from playing until 100 years ago. So someone could put forth a good argument that it’s more about gender than physical sex.
I wouldn’t say terrible but mid possibly. It just took something that already worked well and added a little extra to it.
If “thing2: the sequel” attaches a something kinda neato to the revolutionary, gaming landscape changing “thing1:the thingining” that doesn’t mean thing2 is really better than something that significantly moved the bar.
This is why Fallout 3 is better than Fallout New Vegas and I will fight you all over it.
I think all sports aren’t equal in this. The rules for MMA would surely be different than the rules for curling or chess. The people who control sports organizations usually have a life dedicated to their sport, and are in a much better place to make a call about it than congress or randos on the internet. This matter should be handled by them. The fact that anyone without skin in the game cares about this at all is a losing battle.

I have a lot of kids so I can’t answer that question
