Hackers (1995) is a film I somehow never saw until now—wild, considering I lived through the real events it riffs on in c/movies@piefed.social

@atomicpoet Hackers and The Net are two of my favorite computer movies.

The tech is basically insane on every level, and feels a bit like the script was written by the prisoners in Plato's Cave, and the tech is based on what they could see reflected off a CRT onto the cave wall.

Any connection between the film and real technology is completely accidental, but that doesn't affect the perfection of the film.

Plus, Joey smoking two cigarettes at the same time.

"Israel is now facilitating record levels of humanitarian aid into Gaza."

The video ends with "Smiles don't lie. Hamas does."

That feels real.

I'm guessing the whole video is AI generated.

In light of the new "AI WOW!" approach in the Firefox nightlies, I've installed #LibreWolf on my Linux machine at home, my Windows work laptop and corp VMs desktop. (mastodon.coffee)
 

In light of the new "AI WOW!" approach in the Firefox nightlies, I've installed #LibreWolf on my Linux machine at home, my Windows work laptop and corp VMs desktop.

Thankfully, they include a portable version so I can run it on the corporate machines. Though, the windows LibreWolf-Portable.exe had some issue on the VM about determining 32/64 bit, I just ran the LibreWolf/librewolf.exe directly.

I haven't messed with setting up corp proxy yet. That's tomorrow.
