gotta love 11pm sessions of “why in the world is my gpu acceleration not working”

featuring:

  • downgrading bios

  • downgrading kernel

  • setting different kernel command line flags

    • booting into grub recovery to fix it

  • reinstalling display drivers

all because ubuntu botched a phased rollout of a graphics library 🫠🫠

fellas, I’m passing this along to y’all:

We’re giving away Childish Things t-shirts to three people who leave reviews online in the next week.

(Shirts look like this:

and you can see them more clearly at https://shop.cassidy.pictures)

Here’s how you enter:

  1. Write a review for Childish Things

  2. Publish that review on Letterboxd or IMDb

  3. Send me a screenshot of your new review

Two winners will be selected at random, and my brother and I will pick our favorite new review for a third winner. We’re taking entries through January 8th.

And if you still haven’t seen the movie, you can stream it right now at https://watch.cassidy.pictures

Thanks team!

fyi the database hasn't been updated in several months so it's not very accurate

USELESS FACT: the wrapped feature on wasteof post explorer still works for 2024 - somewhat. you have to modify the url directly since the interface only goes up to 2023 (after which wasteof.plus and post explorer seems to have ceased active development). you can also go earlier - although if your account (or even the whole platform) didn't exist for the year you try, it won't work (explosion optional).

it isn't as fancy as past years reports, but it shows just enough numbers to count.

how am i able to make a real and cursed weather balloon payload that semi-accurately tracks altitude based on algae florescence but in 2 ½ months i and 7 other people can’t even make a robot that picks up balls and shoots them

As you may know, I’ve been working on a movie called Childish Things since May of last year.

tldr: My movie Childish Things is now streaming at https://watch.cassidy.pictures

Childish Things has been independent from the start. My brother and I made it with our friends and whatever resources we had on hand, and when the time came to share the movie on the big screen, we worked with indie theaters to host community events and spread the word through local news and word of mouth.

We’ve been mulling over how to put Childish Things online. After going the typical route of signing with a distributor for our last film, Fallen Drive, we never saw a dime. We could’ve offered streaming through a platform like Filmhub or Amazon, but then some middleman would be taking a fat cut. It seemed like there was no favorable way for indie filmmakers to offer streaming to their audiences.

Then I asked for help here on wasteof. @radi8 (legend) reached out, and over the past couple weeks, he’s helped us develop our own streaming platform: watch.cassidy.pictures (rebrand TBD).

By continuing to be independent of big companies, we can retain the rights and control of Childish Things and (in theory) see some return on the blood, sweat, and mileage we’ve poured into this project. When you rent or buy Childish Things at watch.cassidy.pictures, you’re directly supporting the people who made it.

Thank you if you read all of that, and I hope you enjoy the movie!
