Oh interesting. I haven't used Jerboa for some time, so I'm not really sure what is causing the issue...

Thanks! I think I probably spent 15 hours on it between the wallpaper and icons. I'm definitely proud of how it turned out.
Are you sure about the spoiler formatting? My app doesn't honor spoiler formatting, so I double-checked it in a web browser and it seemed functional.
This isn't KLWP, it's a Samsung app called "Wonderland." All things considered, the interface for Wonderland isn't great, so if you have KLWP already installed, I might try messing around with it more before installing Wonderland...
Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this leak (assuming it's remotely accurate).
I suppose you could make a horror/thriller-esque story about Plas if you leaned into the body horror aspect of it; but he seems like a much better fit for a comedy instead.
The two most recent runs in 20 years (Gail Simone and Kyle Baker) definitely have Plas established as a pretty unserious guy. There's definitely a tinge of tragedy in his origin of being betrayed by his fellow goons, but he definitely bounces back.
Even runs where he isn't the primary focus (the Injustice tie-ins or the Terrifics) have him as a pretty comedic character.
Having said all that, I am not terribly familiar with Aronofsky's work; so I could definitely be missing something that makes him a good fit...
That stuck out to me as well. Disney probably made 50k USD in the time it took me to write this comment. This feels more like sending a message than trying to avoid a costly payout.
I'm sure they want to discourage lawsuits, but I'm worried they did this just to try to set a precedent on EULAs being the end-all-be-all.
I just hope they get enough bad publicity from this move to cost them more than the payout would have.
The fact that Disney is asserting that whether a EULA has been read is irrelevant and that a EULA signed five years prior for an unrelated use is still enforceable feels more than insidious.
I hope Disney's claim gets thrown out because I worry about the precedent this could set for EULAs going forward.
I've been holding onto my phone well past its prime since I can't help but see every new phone on the market as a downgrade because of this.
I know people say that you don't NEED an SD card if you buy the most expensive version and rely heavily on cloud services but it's definitely an intentionally worse customer experience.
I'm actually really sad Sony pulled out of the US, since I was planning on getting an Xperia this year. Now it feels like I'm limited to Samsung or Google if I want a flagship SoC...
I'm definitely a little late to the party to comment on this thread, but it blows my mind that any organization would pick a flight with SAG-AFTRA at this point (or the WGA, though that's not relevant to THIS issue).
SAG has already proven they will hold out pretty much indefinitely and the effects of the joint SAG/WGA strike are still being felt in Hollywood now.
Is the siren song of AI so alluring that companies are willing to die on this hill? At its peak hype, I could see executives salivating at the potential savings; but my understanding is there has been pretty substantial pushback to projects made with AI (or tech with AI in it). I can't imagine that these large studios think their potential savings would outweigh the potential losses in sales; but I guess that's why I'll never be a Fortune 500 CEO...
I wish SAG-AFTRA nothing but the best in their endeavor for protections against AI.
Ever since I watched RedLetterMedia's "F*ck You, It's January" (YouTube | Piped) I cannot stop noticing how studios will drop movies they don't have faith in at the very start of the year.
To date, based off my very detailed research of quickly scrolling through Wikipedia, Marvel has only released two MCU movies in February: Black Panther, and Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania.
With the numerous data-set of two points, it seems like Marvel has two potential reasons for not having faith in a movie:
- It actually is bad (see Quantumania)
- It is a Black-led movie (see Black Panther)
You could make the case that they dropped Black Panther in February because it is Black History Month, but Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released in November...
With all this said, now, I am curious in their lack of faith in the new Captain America movie. I've already mentioned the two reasons, I would expect them to not have faith in it, but there is a third reason as well:
- New MCU movies simply don't have the draw that the old ones did. Even a decent quality MCU movie would really need to stand out for audiences to notice, and this movie may just not stand out...
Whatever their reason for releasing Captain America: New World Order in February is, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
It feels like a tale as old as time, that a company gets bought by another and immediately selling off assets; and I would very much like to stop hearing it.
While sometimes spending does need to be cut, cutting assets immediately after an acquisition usually does not maintain the company's health in the long term.
On another note, while I think Paramount/ Skydance is right that the current streaming environment is not amiable to the customer; I find it amusing this is just creating "Cable 2." I know each studio wants to keep all the money for themselves, but it feels ridiculous they are pretending "Cable 2" would be better for customers than a music streaming model, where any streamer can provide any content
I can't say I'm surprised to see Gamepass get a price hike; it always seemed like it was in the loss leader stage to try to grow market share.
I wonder what the reasoning was to institute the hike now, though, since I'm not sure how strong their market share actually is on it.
My theory is that either:
- Microsoft is tired of footing the bill and expects results now
- Microsoft/ Xbox think they have enough market share, so it is time to stop cultivating and time to start harvesting
My understanding is they are still releasing new Series S models, which are basically just Gamepass machines; so I would expect they are not happy with their current market share (though corporations literally never are), which makes me think it's the former option, not the latter.
All that being said, I wonder how much the price can increase before the value proposition of Gamepass is moot. Right now 20 USD a month doesn't sound bad as long as you're playing at least one new game a month, but I wonder how much more room there is in the price before the number of games you would need to play becomes unreasonable.
Personally, I've never been a fan of the Gamepass model since I like owning my games physically (it's the main reason I prefer console to PC), so I don't have much of a horse in this race; but I will be interested to see what becomes of Gamepass in the long term.
I don't know if people still use live wallpapers, but I like the way mine turned out.
