I just realized, but having somewhat strict rules on what to post to the community, I left no space to talk about the community itself. So I'll leave this post pinned in case you have any comments.

Cheers!

1. Blade Runner (1982)
2. A.I. (2001)
3. Her (2013)
4. Minority Report (2002)
5. Ex Machina (2014)

There are some movies with an AI character or element in them that are better than some of the ones on my list, but they are not really about AI. For example, The Matrix or Alien. Prometheus might fit a bit better than Alien tho (and I love that movie, fight me).

And there's also Minority Report, which doesn't directly have an AI, at least not a clearly defined and prominent one. But if you forget about the precogs, what's left is a pretty prophetic world where algorithms rule society, not only to tell you what to buy, but also to put you in jail even before you commit any crime. It's scary how close we are getting there, and this comes from a 2002 movie based on a 1956 book. More ML than AI, but whatever, it's my list.

Two movies that didn't make it into the list by a whisker were Westworld and The Iron Giant. I probably like The Iron Giant more than I like Ex Machina, but Ex Machina is more on theme, so there's that.

1. Natalie is Freezing, from Community
2. Mouse Rat, from Parks and Recreation
3. Geronimo Jackson, from Lost
4. Dingoes Ate My Baby, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
5. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, from The Muppets

I just updated to 0.35 and got a translation forced on me with no option to go back to English. The translations are a bit of a mess in many ways. Literal translations that take no consideration of context, broken layout elements due to longer strings of text...

Don't get me wrong, is great that they are thinking of making it easy for everyone to use the app, I'm just asking to make it optional if possible.

BTW, I don't know if Jerboa devs monitor this community, but I don't use Matrix, so I'm not sure where else to request this.

When sorting by all instances > all communities > hot, I get as the top post a 20 votes, 1 comment post. Just 5 or so posts below, a 5 votes and 0 comments post.

If I sort by active instead, I see two day old posts.

Should I be sorting differently?

EDIT: Nevermind, I wasn't using my brain. All good on any instance using lemmy 0.18. Just need to wait for Jerboa to update. I was about to delete the post, but maybe other people were thinking the same, so I'll keep it so they can read this. Just wait for Jerboa to update, next version should be much better in this regard.
