    There is a Brazilian Rock Band with a great song named “Santa Claus son of a bitch” (or maybe motherfucker) here is the Google translate (with light editing) of the first couple verses:

    Santa Claus motherfucker
    Reject the wretched
    I want to kill him!
    That capitalist pig
    
    Give gifts to the rich
    And spits on the poor
    Give gifts to the rich
    And spits on the poor
    



  • That is because the US does not have an official language at the federal level. Some states do though, and some only English is the official language but some do recognize Spanish and native American languages as official languages. Of course it would be nice to have a more formal approach but I was very surprised of how much stuff is written in more than one language and for Spanish in specific I think you have a very high chance of finding some employee that speaks it or they try to translate. At least in the couple of places that I have being which I admit is a small sample size




  • It is sad that so much of technological advancement is not freeing people from labor has the opposite effect, making people fight to pay rent and necessities everyday and never having free time to live. There is so much to like in these new Ai technologies but they being wielded by capitalists to extract a little more money. I highly doubt that visual arts is a big expensive in movies and films since usually half the budget is marketing and another big chuck to secure big stars to the project.

    In any case everyone already lost and the Internet is a little bit worst. Reading about this class actions I think no good will come out of it, or the draconian copyright laws will be even worst and small artists will already have lost to the prior models using their content or a “fair use” exception will be made but only for big companies AI and not help small artists and content creators that battle with DMCA abuse taking down fair use vídeos from YouTube and content from over the net anyway.



  • Faster load times and/or less bandwidth. zstd is a newish compression algorithm that has being chosen in a lot of use cases because it can be turned to be faster with the same compression rate or better compression with the same processing time. For the content host it saves bandwidth or CPU time with compression.

    I have this rule: The quality of an anime is inverse of the number of episodes it has.

    Of course it is not always true but It is a good rule of thumb. Without knowing what you like, read some sinopses of the classics and see if any sparkle your interest.

    You are already in a good track with movies, you can watch Akira or the first Ghost in the Shell for some good action sci-fi.

    I personally didn’t watch yet, so is not quite a recommendation but any Satoshi Kon movie is always very well received, like Perfect Blue.

    There is some anthology movies, each with 3-4 short stories, that seems to be quite Good. I watched and liked alot Memories, and heard about Neo Tokio and Robot Carnival. All of them have one section done by Katsuhiro Ótimo, the author of Akira.

    You can look up some OVA that are 1 to 6 EPS long like Read or Die, Bastard (the original one) and Blood: The last Vampire (the original one)

    Some TV series that are 13 to 26 episodes long I really liked is Samurai Champloo. I also like the Netflix’s Castlevania (the first one) and I cannot vouch for it because I didn’t finish yet but Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was pretty good.

    The next two are quite controversial but I think quite good are Kite and Mezzo Forte, both are 1 or 2 ep OVA. They are controversial because they are a mix of action anime and some hardcore hentai, but there are some cuts without the sex stuff (that is also completely unnecessary if I remember correctly). The action scenes are really good.
