  • 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.




  • 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).
