I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.
It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.

I think making effective use of those tools is it’s own skill. They can give you bad results if you ask things too broadly. But copilot chat has become a pretty invaluable part of my workflow.
Have you tried using chatGPT or GitHub copilot?
I mean... he is the fearsome scourge of the neighborhood rodents and butterflies. But as long I can pick him up and twirl him around, he'll always be a little guy to me.

fwiw "unalive" came about to circumvent automatic censorship, It's the young people being tech savvy. Meanwhile, you're over in the corner stewing as the world passes you by.
Don't fall into the perpetual trap of thinking the current crop of young people are the worst thing ever, it'll make your hair fall out
With that short lived bit of nostalgia for cringy old meme formats I think it's also safe to say that this platform skews old.
It’s a mixed bag for sure. If I hyperfocus on a project I care about then I’m at least happy about the progress, and I do enjoy the process while it's happening. But if I hyperfocus on some frustrating ass task that I thought would take 20 minutes but ends up taking all day then I feel less good.
Either way, at the end of a big hyperfocus session I feel like I squeezed all the brain juice out of myself.
I had a job interview at the end of one of those once and I felt so brain dead I was forgetting basic words. I literally apologized to the interviewer about it. Luckily she was understanding.
No corporation is the “good guy”
Every product has trade offs and it all depends on what you personally value in your device
Despite that, people typically keep their iPhones much longer than they keep android phones. 3 years of software support is considered good for androids. iPhones get 6
Note the part where I said “for me”.
I’ve had plenty of different smartphones over the last 15 years. Most have been android.
I happen to currently be very happy with my iPhone.
But I mean also, despite right to repair concerns, apple has a large network of first party service centers that will do battery replacement for old phones at a pretty reasonable price.
Plus with modern fast charging, it never feels like much of an issue. I get basically all day battery from a 20 minute charge during my morning coffee.
They are terrible actors but I think they were handled well. Because the characters were written for them, they really just had to be themselves.
I think their prominence in the movie is what resulted in such a bad score. Even without the personal controversies, they are polarizing artists. Few people have a neutral reaction to their stuff. At the time I was pretty into their music, so seeing them in the movie was fun for me.
