skribe@aussie.zoneto movies@piefed.social•How important do you think accents are in historical films?2·1 day agoVery important. However, The Odyssey isn’t a historical movie. It’s a myth.
skribe@aussie.zoneto Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? July 016·5 days agoI’m currently reading Oathbreakers, which is a history book about the Carolingians (Frankish Kings). Very interesting.
skribe@aussie.zoneto Movies@lemmy.world•Gun for hire: what does Denis Villeneuve joining as director tell us about the new James Bond?English71·9 days agoIt will not only answer who is 007, and what is 007, but also how is 007, and why is 007.
I also expect it will be at least an hour too long.
Burble squawk rumble Yes.
Except at 2am. And 3am. And 4, 5, and 6am. On the hour, every hour. We have an alarm cat* and it’s cat o’clock.
Of course, she sleeps during the day.

Does it still count as drunk texting if you haven’t been sober since the Bush presidency?

skribe@aussie.zoneto movies@piefed.social•What was the greatest movie you've ever seen, that you never want to watch again?2·23 days agoBreakfast Club. I saw it in the 80s, and loved it, but thought I’d never watch it again. I put it on again during COVID and while it still holds up, I definitely won’t watch it a third time. Past is prologue, and all.

skribe@aussie.zoneto Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? June 38·1 month agoI’m currently reading Zero 22 by Chris Ryan. It’s about an SAS operative, and is a sequel to Black Ops. I loved Black Ops but thought the ending was naff. It appears he had Zero 22 in mind when he wrote that ending. Still naff, but I’m enjoying Z 22 so far.
I didn’t bother. I have a local server, and just inputted the info, and I was away.
skribe@aussie.zoneto Australian Politics@aussie.zone•Secret figures show Liberal party’s ageing membership in freefall in NSW and Victoria2·1 month agoI can’t see them coming back. They’re hemmed in. The further right they move, the less palatable they are to the majority of Australians. They can’t go left without alienating their base.
They also don’t have a leader to drag them kicking and screaming through the necessary process to change. Nor do they have the ability to recruit one young enough to make it worthwhile. It will be a long and painful exercise.
Right now, I fully expect them to continue along their rightward path. As a result, I can see them reduced to One Nation numbers within a couple of electoral cycles, which is still more than the Nats get. At some point, they’ll likely splinter.

I had to manually uninstall the old version and then install the new one, but it works fine.
Nah, it’s just crunchy.
That maxim is no longer true, especially in the medium-to-long term. Reddit posts older than 8 or so years old aren’t accessible (even to their creators), same with the original Digg posts. If you go back to the Usenet days, most posts haven’t been archived and are lost, especially those from the smaller newsgroups. I expect over the coming decades, we’ll see data loss as a growing issue.
Also includes Doom in the settings. Mouse didn’t work for me though.
