More so ‘other Fediverse socials’.

Here’s an example on PieFed, that’s a PixelFed user tagging their photos with ‘dailyphoto’ and then sharing via a.gup.pe on Mastodon: https://piefed.social/tag/dailyphoto

Some non-Lemmy Groups that are interesting or might get interesting:

PieFed: !antisocialmedia@piefed.social
MBIN: !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io
PeerTube: !veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube
WordPress: !dbzer0.com@dbzer0.com
NodeBB: !fediverse@forum.wedistribute.org
a.gup.pe: !photography@a.gup.pe

How well they backfill and inter-op is very platform-dependent, obvs (your platform and the remote platform)

Fasting (for Ramadan)

Not sure about “slow poisoning”

You shouldn’t read too much into being banned from 50 communities - it’s just a fudgy workaround for being banned from the instance.

If you want to read up on people’s objections, there’s load of comments at https://lemmy.world/post/18805474 and the GitHub Issue it links to at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4967

I’m not personally in favour of ideas about voting privacy (I think it’s a bit anti-Fediverse and hampers backfilling), but those who disagree tend to feel more strongly about it than I do, so I try to avoid arguments about it.

If you’re not seeing anything at https://lemmy.world/c/resist@fedia.io it’ll be due to a setting on your account (view the link when logged out to confirm). There’s loads there when I visited it.

diode.zone seems kaput. Andy Balaam (who used to use it) has moved to https://video.infosec.exchange

Severance, of course.

A new show called ‘Paradise’ - a high-concept mystery about a Secret Service agent. I’m not entirely sure about it yet, but I’ll keep watching for now.

Yeah, but the ones you’ll have access to are pretty dead:

!languagelearning@lemmy.world
!languagelearning@sopuli.xyz
!french@lemmy.world

The most active is on hexbear, which I think your instance is defed’d from
!languagelearning@hexbear.net

If you don’t want to resurrect an existing community, you can create new ones by accessing Lemmy with a browser (not an app), and clicking ‘Create Community’ at the top of the screen.

It’s sound logic, but it looks like Netflix don’t always buy / commission limited series - it’s also just a label they slap on something when they’re not going to renew it (e.g. fans were able to see that Bodies was cancelled, without an official announcement, because the tag was added later.)

It normally publishes about midday (UK time), but if the crawler fails for that edition, it picks up the next one at roughly 6 p.m., and then it gets into the habit of publishing then every day until I remember to set it back to midday.

Anyway, it looks like it’s just missed today’s 6 p.m. edition, but it might get the next one due around about now.

Season 3 of a TV show comes with a significant wage increase for everyone involved, so 3 seasons (at least) is something that the sellers of a show always want, but the buyers are trying to avoid.

On Netflix, it’s become a pattern of all shows only getting 1 or 2 seasons, unless they’re mega-hits, or dirt-cheap to produce in the first place.

How well a show wraps up after 2 seasons often depends on how much the writers want to do the streamer’s job for them. Tokyo Vice was a (rare) example of a good, self-contained, 2-season show.

I imagine they’ll follow The Last of Us’s lead and try to give them roles, like Troy Baker had. If they want to be seen to do the right thing at least.

Jennifer Hale is at least 52 (officially, Wikipedia suggests she might be older), and isn’t really that well known, so it’s very unlikely that she could be FemShep - maybe an Admiral Hackett-type character (played by Lance Henriksen in the games).

The top ones I’m aware of are Veronica Explains and The Linux Experiment.

I also like ctrl-alt-rees

More abuse of this post for testing PieFed user mentions (sorry if you seeing this)

@freamon@lemmy.world

For a show about a big cylinder, it’s fitting that there’s so many cut corners. Something is missing from production, some role is unfilled, or done by someone with too little experience, resulting in a show that’s probably relatively expensive to make ending up looking cheap. I still watch it, and try not to be put off by all the the times when there’s some bad acting, or dodgy accents, or incongruous costume choices, or under-lit scenes, or set-pieces that don’t make logical or dramatic sense.

It’s a shame that - in theory - it’s something that’s exactly my kind of show, because I think I would have enjoyed Season 2 more if I’d be able to wait, and binge it in one go.

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

There’s a reply in that post from the mod. They locked it because it wasn’t an open-ended question. I imagine that the rule is in place to prevent this community from being filled by DAE-type posts.

Yeah. ActivityPub has a type called ‘Announce’ that’s used to make your followers aware of activity by another account. Mastodon uses it only for ‘boosting’ another user’s content, but Lemmy’s communities use it for everything (‘Andrew has posted this comment’, 'Andrew has Liked this post’s, etc). Most of Lemmy’s activities are ignored by Mastodon, but the Announce of a post or a comment is interpreted as a Boost.

It sort of works as a way to follow a community on Mastodon, but the individual boosting of all comments makes it annoying. I doubt anyone has set up a different account - you should be able to see the details of which actor is doing by clicking on it or hovering your mouse over it.

Anyway, speaking of jokes, have you heard how many MBIN users it takes to screw in a lightbulb?
Answer: 10. 1 to screw in the bulb, and 9 to tell you how great the software is. (I’m just kidding - there aren’t 10 MBIN users, it just seems like there are because it evidently comes with a massive crowbar used to derail every thread to bollock on about it).

Luigi Mangione is the median American voter

They’re confused because they still believe the dominant divide in US politics is liberalism v conservatism. It’s not, and it hasn’t been for some time. Increasingly, even if they lack the exact language to explain it, voters do not identify foremost as Democrats or Republicans, progressives or traditionalists, or even left or right. They identify as pro-system or anti-system.
