Fil5000 posted:Youtube is just designed to show you more of stuff you've already seen (or that people it deems to be like you have seen and watched all of) so it's really easy to get siloed without actively going looking for stuff. My main source of recommendations outside of what the algorithm presents me with is this thread, and for whatever reason Somerton never came up much here so I'd never heard of him until ninety minutes of damning proof of plagarism dropped. He popped up semi-regularly in my feeds a couple years ago but then dropped out of it almost entirely at some point after, maybe a few months later, and that's a feed algorithm-populated with all the Nebula folks with similar content. I half-wonder if Youtube's algorithm was like, well this guy's makes videos similar to what you watch but all those other creators openly hate him so maybe we'll stop recommending him.

They hosed up really bad if it was able to be traced back to a specific person. Like how do you mess that up so it can be traced back to you.

Like how do you mess that up so it can be traced back to you. the mistake was saying that the fake person was a reylo shipper. the shipping community is insane enough they were able to confirm no one like that existed. this is a microcosm of the larger problem that created this in the first place, that being fanfic/ya communities being absolutely batshit.

Wait how did that even come up? I thought they figured it out 'cuz the sockpuppet was obviously upvoting Cait Corrain's books while simultaneously obviously bombing everyone except Corrain. How did the Star Wars even factor here

They were so obvious that even I noticed some wonky reviews, and I'm not even in any kind of fandom. I just assumed it was someone taking twitter drama to Goodreads, turns out that wasn't too far off the mark.

I think the author tried to say it was a friend from when she was in the Reylo fandom. Should have just stopped at "friend". Her biggest mistake was trying to create legitimacy by adding some details and it backfired horribly.

CSI: Cyber is one of the funniest shows that was ever on television and it was EXTREMELY funny that it was (until they revived Vegas) the last gasp of the franchise. They even moved Ted Danson over from the main show to Cyber for it's second season (I assume because his contract was supposed to run another year?). It's filled to the brim with absolute bullshit, presented with such absolute confidence and overly stylised visuals that I'm still not 100% sure it wasn't a joke the whole time.

I still find it incredible how most episodes have a plot structure of the writers clearly writing themselves into, then taking a slug of whiskey and making GBS threads their way out of it to a conclusion for the case of the week. 10/10 bullshit, absolutely recommend watching it. Also Ted Danson is clearly there to gently caress around, play with toys, and collect a paycheck and more power to him for it.

Also, the description of IRC from Numb3rs lives rent-free in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ EDIT: Speaking of weird details, it's hilarious to me that Numb3rs' writers managed to get both IRCs lack of central logging (which it is often criticized for, when compared to Discord et cetera), how two people can agree to meet in a pre-determined channel that nobody else can know about because of the secret mode and won't know it happened unless they were there, and that /notify is a feature that relies on /who as defined by the IRC RFC.

I tapped out at luckily I speak l33t. Good on the actors for playing this with a straight face, I guess.

Doctor Spaceman posted:It has great hacking and is more about social engineering and security systems than typing code as fast as possible. Not sure if this is a spoiler because it's revealed pretty early from my recollection: For the computer science majors, the code breaking MacGuffin is basically a P=NP chip that can instantly guess and test all encryptions at the same time. I really need to watch that movie again to see how it holds up.

Like if you went to a convention of CSI/L&O/NCIS/etc superfans and you showed them a preview clip of the hackiest hacking scene that’s ever hacked, just nothing but peak tropes pushed to the current limit, and then you showed them a new concept wherein you painstakingly hewed to the reality of cyber-law enforcement and tried to be as “realistic” as possible, people would likely go nuts for the former and react to the latter with cold indifference. Saying you want a more realistic and true-to-life primetime police procedural is like saying that you want a more realistic and true-to-life soap opera. CBS shows in particular have the issue that they have two core audiences: old-as-poo poo people and younger superfans who are ride-or-die for a given show and sustain it over ~two decades and embark on advocacy and public pressure campaigns when cancellation looms.

DeafNote posted:Did Sneakers have bad hacking? The hacking in Sneakers is pretty accurate for the time, minus the magic box MacGuffin. stillvisions posted:Not sure if this is a spoiler because it's revealed pretty early from my recollection: It holds up really well. It's one of my favorite movies and you accurately described the MacGuffin. The only missed point is they said that the Russians use different codes so the MacGuffin would only work on American encryption. Which is silly, because if you could solve any large prime problem, all public/private key computer encryption would be obsolete. volts5000 fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Dec 14, 2023 |

Trying to be an author in 2023 seems like one of the most miserable things I could imagine. Like, you have all the problems that always plagued the profession and now stack on the new bullshit of social media drama and the "content creation" mindset. Edit: oh, and all the Small Business Owner brain worms for anyone doing self-publishing. Ugh. I dunno, there are some bright'ish spots like Patreon, but in general, it just seems like an awful time to be a creative of any stripe.
