They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.

My two cents is there's a structural issue that's converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you'll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.

H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?

They're just pointer pointers!

Dang, that is so cool C can do that.

Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That's a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That's before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.

I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to "dangerous" behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.
