Awesome - I had hoped that the release schedule would fit with the show's structure, but I wasn't optimistic 'cos the streamers usually want more than a month's sign-up to view a season.

It'll be like getting a film a week, so hopefully there isn't too much 'previously on' gunk. I'm unlikely to be the only one who's planning to re-edit the eps into films anyway.

Am watching it for Aimee Lou Wood (the toughest foe a Walton Googins character has ever faced).

Not so bothered by the 'family of wankers', or the passive-aggressive bitchiness of Carrie Coon's gang, but we'll see. This show does the impressive trick of making unrelatable, unlikeable people entertaining.

Thought that thumbnail was a joke when I first saw it, like someone had pasted Luna's head on Mon's husband's body. Still looks a bit off, but I guess it's a "you walk in, act like you belong" reference.

All I need now is for someone to make it April 22nd already. By science or magic, I'm not fussed.

No, you're right. It's just how it sounds with Sanders' distinct accent.

For stuff about films, I like 'Thomas Flight' and 'Like Stories Of Old'. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I'm going to watch in a bit (I'm hoping he hated it as much as I did!)

Interstellar is an app for both MBIN and Lemmy, and the dev has said that they'd be interested in adding PieFed too when the API is stable. There's likely other apps that cater to more than one subset of the Fediverse (e.g. Mastodon + PeerTube or something), but unlikely to be one that covers the full thing.

[–] freamon@preferred.social 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yes. PieFed federates with Lemmy, but in much the same way that it federates with MBIN, or PeerTube, or NodeBB. Federation is about the relationship between servers, using a common protocol (ActivityPub) to communicate. A mobile app like voyager is concerned about the relationship between a client and server, who communicate using something they've both agreed on (Lemmy's V3 API in this case). PieFed can't implement Lemmy's V3 API (for a whole bunch of reasons), so mobile apps have to use PieFed's own API to communicate with it (which is what I'm doing right now, as I write this comment).

Typically, if you see that one person is being banned from a bunch of communities at the same time, it just means that they are being banned from the instance.

If an admin wants to ban one of their own users, it's a single activity that's federated out, but if they want to ban a remote user, the only way it can be done under the current system is for every community that the banned person has interacted with to ban them. It's an automatic process, triggered by the admin pressing one button once. (it's not a perfect solution, because nothing prevents the banned user interacting with other communities, at least as far as their local instance is concerned).

Well done Scotland, for drafting and actually enforcing this law.

It's no surprise that this woman, and the others pictured in the article, are all of a demographic that they're not going to have to actually make maternal healthcare decisions for themselves.

Towards the end of this video, he says "the United States of America is the longest-standing democracy in the world". My geopolitics are a bit rough, so genuine question: is it?

[–] freamon@preferred.social 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The "previously on ..." for this drama was that someone created a Fediverse post ranking the different apps for how well they handled Lemmy's Markdown, and Racoon didn't score well in the original post. It was later revised after further testing, but the damage was already done.

[–] freamon@preferred.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No. The app was forked from a Lemmy app (Thunder), so there's not much PieFed-specific in it (e.g. there's also no support for Polls). The exception is that it supports post / comment subscribing (I was notified of your comment, even though I'm not the OP of this post).

I created a new instance for testing the app, and I didn't create any Topics (partly laziness, partly because the whole area is being re-evaluated for user-created Topics, aka Feeds).

The app will lag behind the site in features, 'cos adding stuff for direct HTML rendering will always be easier than adding stuff that's got to come through an API.
