Re:Writing a better reality: The case for optimistic sci-fi on Monday September 14, 2026 @03:08AM (#49693008)
"Optimistic" SciFi seems quite personal to the reader. Where one finds M Banks' Culture series optimistic others find it highly dystopian.

I personally find the most uplifting books the ones that are the most "dystopian" such as Anthem by Ayn Rand and 1984 where the underlying message is about hope and our humanity.

More for embedding a video editor into your own application but may be of interest for those who like Openshot.

Yeah. I keep looking at these updates but then my M2 feels blazing fast and I tell myself I'll wait for the next update.
I love this. I try to read different works of philosophy by getting chatgpt live to narrate it paragraph by paragraph to fully digest it. But newest works it refuses to do that unfortunately. It would be quite amazing to do a second pass on the original Latin works in the same way as well.

The 16 year olds are goners already so who cares about them. It will definitely work for the younger ones who haven't been mindrpd yet.

We built a Christmas video generator to spread around some joy during this crazy 2020. We made the code available open source if anyone wants to create something similar themselves: https://github.com/shotstack/christmas-demo-2020

Onwards to 2021!
