There were people suggesting given the age of Bruce Wayne in Joker, that the Phoenix character probably wasn’t The Joker, merely an inspiration for him. Harley showing up in the sequel would seem to refute this theory.

It’s expensive, often less comfortable than my own home, and I like theatre in which the crowd plays a part in the experience,

This is why I don’t understand the “big action movies need a cinema, small comedies you can watch at home” argument. My home theatre can replicate the big-screen action experience just fine, but a comedy with a crowd is immediately 35% funnier.

…which side of this argument are you on?

“There’s no benefit to physical media.” “Yes there is.” “Why are you defending corporations?”

…what?

This is false. Firstly, because people don’t subscribe to everything forever. But even in some Netflix utopia where everyone has a Netflix subscription, and they keep it forever, then what? Now you can’t make any more money, you’re making the maximum amount of money your business model can make. But you can keep people subscribed to your service by continuing to add new things, while also making extra money from those who would like to own physical copies.

Subscriptions detach income from titles, meaning all the service needs to do is exist and have things on it. There’s no budget to actually create anything special. Physical offers a way to reconnect those, making something that is more expensive and in return making more money.

The ad-based plans everyone is introducing run on the same logic. Subscriptions aren’t sustainable.

Clicking the link in Boost just opens it in my web browser. How do I actually subscribe?

You are, in fact, wrong.

When did the “Mission: Impossible” films become action movies?

Eagerly anticipating the author’s next article, “Is it time for America to elect its first Black President?”

…ripped? From Netflix?

What’s this about?

Notifications can be muted via the Android OS for any given app, if you don’t want notifications you’re welcome to do that. Making a lack of notifications compulsory is just stupid. I’m opening Lemmy more frequently now, having to check manually for replies, than if I could trust my empty notification bar and just not bother.

I keep getting network errors. I’d actually given up assuming I just couldn’t post at all. Deleting is turning out to be just as painful a process…

I’ve never got a notification from Jerboa in my life. The number appears on the envelope on the bottom row, but I never get any sort of alert. Lemmy is super quiet so I don’t check it very often (my home feed gets one post and zero comments on an average day), and once discovered responses to me that were a day old.

What on earth is Plume?

What exactly is Threads?

How does any of this work?

I thought I had a handle on what Mastodon was, but then there was this threads thing, and Lemmy is apparently also part of the Fediverse but not Mastodon, I assume, and Threads is its own thing, and calckey and kbin exist, maybe, and I’d never heard of Plume until this post…I don’t understand any of this. Reddit and Twitter are how I would generally follow this sort of happening but Mastodon and Lemmy are ghost towns I don’t really understand how to use. I’m so utterly lost I don’t even know where to begin with finding answers. I don’t even have known unknowns, just unknown in unknowns.
