There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I'm watching with interest.

Yeah I loved the effects and the cinematography, I mean that's what makes new movies fantastic... it's a showcase of how real we can get things to look.

But the books were filled from cover to cover with worldbuilding that's a whole lot more than vistas. There's reasons and motivations that lead you to where the story begins and a failure to grasp at least some of those (Butlerian Jihad, Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators and ofc the SPICE) leaves you with what @reddig33 said.

But the new movies seem very sterile, slow, and dull.

They are rote action movies that fail to evoke any real emotion, and that's a shame.

Yeah if you watch the site for sales the Aeron can get decently cheap. Plus, consider that these chairs have a 10 year warranty, unlike the ones you pick up at an office supply store.

The Aeron really changed everything for me.

Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

They don't. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.

From what I've seen on Lemmy at least, nobody really cared that she was attending but we had full popcorn bowls to watch the rest of the world lose their shit about it.

Heheh....I hate to break it to you, but it's not just old people who have nothing better to do than shit out racism misogyny and bile.

And I think this is how every new tech goes. I mean, the community here still seems much more civil because we're smaller in number.

My grandmother told me that if she could offer me one piece of advice it would be to stop worrying about the world, stop worrying about the future. If your thoughts are always there, they're never here and you just wake up one morning realizing how much time has disappeared.

She told me to just enjoy my life, every moment.

This is the way. If you can't find a way into a company you know you want to work for, start in Support. Shine, and move up and out.
