Another hit to physical media as Target lays out plans to ditch in-store DVD and Blu-ray sales
  • This is a shame, but it's understandable. Just as long as they don't cut back on what they carry online. They have a fantastic online selection which the stores never really matched. Some of their sales made it possible to grab Criterion blu rays for cheaper than the 50% off sales at B&N.

  • I missed the kickoff of the Independence Bowl and am bummed I missed Cal scoring. Hopefully there's lots of points and the Red Raiders lose (I probably won't be staying up for the end of this one)

  • Just tuning in now, good Lord this weather is atrocious.

    Thanks for creating this post, btw. I tried to make a gameday thread before I went out this morning but it didn't go through in the browser. Wonder if the new Lemmy update is causing that glitch

    Edit: woops, wrong account. It's so easy to get mixed up on mobile. Aaand it won't let me switch so I guess I'll be posting from here

  • Criterion flash sale has started. 50% off at their website for 24hrs
  • I hadn't taken part in the flash sale for a couple years (and I skipped the last B&N sale), so I went a little big on this one. Ordered:

    • The Lady Vanishes (1938)
    • Young Mr. Lincoln (1939)
    • His Girl Friday (1940)
    • Some Like It Hot (1959)
    • Fail Safe (1964)
  • [Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 15 October
  • I watched four films this week, all of which I'd seen before (so clearly I quite like them all):

    • It Happened One Night (1934)
    • Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
    • Foreign Correspondent (1940)
    • 21 Jump Street (2012)

    Really tough to choose one, but would probably have to give the nod to Mr Smith. Jimmy Stewart is just too good.

  • what are some dying niche lemmings?
  • as long as the community is created on a larger instance it should show up when users sort by all within that instance

    This is an issue for communities that are on smaller instances, and with the current algorithm it's like a brick wall trying to break through to feeds of users on the big instances. For example, the most active college football community is !cfb@fanaticus.social but the abandoned community on lemmy.world keeps gaining subscribers (even with no content).

    As a whole, niche-driven instances (e.g. sport, film, literature, aviation) and geography-focused instances (e.g. midwest, dmv) just aren't gaining much traction.

  • Greed has proven to be a more effectively harmful force against humanity than hatred. We should have greed crimes in addition to hate crimes.
  • Greed has often been described as equally evil to hate. As Robert Frost put it:

    Some say the world will end in fire,

    Some say in ice.

    From what I’ve tasted of desire

    I hold with those who favor fire.

    But if it had to perish twice,

    I think I know enough of hate

    To say that for destruction ice

    Is also great

    And would suffice.
