I think it wasn’t as easy as that he “sold” the rights. If I recall correctly it was more like “we get the rights or the comic won’t happen”.

Remember that this was the 80s, where you needed a publisher for comics.

One of the core messages of Watchmen was that the concept of a superhero is in core a fascistic one. It’s highly unlikely that further adaptions of the sourge material take the same, heavy stance.

I think he’s completely in the right on that front. No one needed that Snyder Film, or a prequel. And you could argue that the HBO series completely goes against the spirit of the OG comic. Even if it’s competently made.

Considering how the adaptions usually pan out: I’d say his negativity is warranted.

Why, what did he do?

Wow that guy on the left actually stopped mid-stream. That’s dedication.

A shoehorned-in AI assistant not fitting in is on brand, at this point.

No, I think that was a valid reading of the film. Both characters are kinda shit. But the dude was worse.

A propos of what, then?

It’s gotten worse: People don’t want to phone with their phone anymore.

Is it too much to ask for a proper answer if a proper question was asked? /s

Could you please explain how you meant it, then?

Ah, yes. The folks who don’t want yummie yummie AI slop in their feeds are the sheeple. Got it. /s

If you install a fuzzyfinder, like fzf, or skim, you get previews of the search query result and fuzzy search, which is really cool, too.

That’s a common misconception! “Pferd” is called that, because it lives on the ground (“Erde”). If it would live in the air (“Luft”), it would be called “Pfluft”.

I really dig it as well, but hoo boy: the documentation still is… incredibly rough.

I’ve spent several evenings now trying to set up the development environment for a python package with additional binary file requirements (model weights) that I want to be included in the package.

It kinda works now with pyproject-nix, but I can’t manage to get an editable devshell running. And now it needs to unpack the requs everytime. 🙄

Just put my custom flake into your inputs! No, I won’t give ydu an example on how to integrate it into your config. The Flakes schema is an incredibly easy concept to grasp, after all. /s

Beats contributing to the documentation/wiki. /s
