Zootopia is great, but its first draft was notoriously quite different and a lot darker, leaning more into the predator vs. prey theme.
- Comment on Disney Invests $1 Billion in the AI Slopification of Its Brand 2 weeks ago:
Sounds kinda what happened to Zootopia, with the first draft being to daring maybe.
A shame about Elio, the final product is about as bland and uninteresting as an animated movie can get.

Since switching to Linux I have nuked my system maybe 5 or 6 times?
When I initially installed it I set the EFI partition to ext4, that caused some trouble when I updated my kernel lol. Then just recently I accidentally wrote a floppy disc image to the wrong drive and wiped out my /home partition. Luckily
testdiskis a thing.Everything else I can just rely on my BTRFS snapshots. My drive setup is more than janky, but it works.
